Skin tips

1. Lather up – Use a shower gel to remove dirt and grime to prevent your skin pores clogging up. The skin needs to have clearer pores so that oils form the skin can escape.
Please note- frequent showering or using soaps can cause dry skin and leaving the skin tight, try to use a product with a moistening agent that will hydrate the skin.

Eczema/dry skin/irritated skin/Psoriasis conditions:

• Skin tends to be extra dry and one needs more potent products

2. Exfoliate – The top layer of the skin continues to renew itself and sheds dead cells, the dead cells need to be removed to prevent blocked pores and hence achieve a brighter, smother and softer skin. One should buff their skin a few times a week.
Products are available to gently remove and polish away dead skin.

Eczema/dry skin/Irritated skin/Psoriasis/Sunburnt skin or Damaged (wound skin) conditions:

• Those with theses skin conditions should use very mild products as standard exfoliates, can badly damage the skin and that can lead to a skin infection (avoid using exfoliate mitts, gloves and loof as on affected areas)

 

3. Moisturise – the skin is prone to get dry and dehydration especially the face as it has fewer oil glands.
Products contain humectants and occlusive’s which help soften and smooth the skin and used daily will help to improve the appearance of the skin and improve skin function.
