SKIN CARE

Basic Skin Care There are 3 main skin types. They are: Oily skin Combination skin (normal to dry/normal to oily) Dry skin No matter what your skin type is. There are 5 basic steps to beautiful skin. They are, in no particular order: Cleansing Exfoliation and Masks Toning Special Treatments (Anti-aging) Moisturising I will briefly explain each step. 1. Cleansing Cleansing is usually a 2 step process. Firstly you need to clean the eye area. This can only be done with ophthalmologist tested eye make up remover. The reason for this is that you can not use your basic facial cleanser on your eye area. The skin around the eye is very thin and delicate and thus needs to be cleansed with a product specially made for the eye. After cleaning the eye area you can use your facial cleanser to clean the rest of your face, making sure that you avoid the eye area. This process needs to be done twice every day. Once in the morning and once at night! 2. Exfoliation and Masks The exfoliator and mask can be alternated each twice per week. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and improves the skins texture. Masks functions differ from skin type to skin type. Masks absorb access surface oils leaving the skin feeling smoother, tighter and fresh. We also have a mask for dry skin that adds moisture to the skin. The exfoliator or mask can be used after cleanings. 3. Toning Toning finishes the cleaning process by removing the last of the dirt. While we clean our face the pores open up to let all the impurities out. The toner then closes the pores to its natural state and prepares the skin for the treatments and moisturiser to come. This will be done every morning and evening after cleansing. 4. Special Treatments Special treatments usually include your age prevention or age control creams. These creams are usually categorized either by age or certain skin problems. These products can be used daily or with intervals as recommended. 5. Moisturiser/Nourishes Every Morning you need to moisturise with a day cream. These creams usually contains SPF protection and protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays and add moisture to the skin which protect the skin against the threat of premature ageing. You need to nourish at night with a night cream.
