Skin Concerns
Skin concerns can have a negative effect on how we feel about our appearance. Establishing your skin type and understanding the best way to care for your skin is the first step in addressing your skin concerns. Skin that is well cared for, especially the skin on your face, helps you feel good about yourself as you age and tells others a lot about you. Using skincare products that suit your skin type can help to nourish and protect your skin, keeping it looking healthy and giving you confidence, no matter your age. Your best skincare routine is only steps away…
Common Skin Concerns
DRY SKIN
Dry skin may feel tight and/or show patches of dry/ flaky skin. If not addressed, dry skin can lead to a dull complexion with an increased likelihood of premature ageing, peeling, itchiness, and irritation. Moisture is essential for dry skin! Face oils, serums, and moisturisers with hydrating ingredients, such as shea butter and hyaluronic acid, can be very beneficial.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Sensitive skin can react to many different products and allergens. When exposed to irritants it can react quickly producing symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, and dryness. Determining and avoiding the substances that cause skin reactions and discomfort is very important. Sensitive skin types should avoid skin products with strong fragrances, synthetic chemicals, or alcohol as these are known irritants.
AGEING SKIN
Ageing skin, complete with lines and wrinkles, is an inevitable, natural part of the ageing process that we all go through. With a consistent, nutrient-rich skincare routine, including daily application of a suitable SPF, and wearing a hat outdoors, you can help prevent premature ageing and keep your skin looking its healthy best. Remember, it is never too late to start caring for your skin.
ACNE-PRONE SKIN
Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become blocked with excess oil, dead skin, or bacteria leading to an inflammatory response, or breakout. People can have dry, oily, or a combination of any of the skin types and still have acne-prone skin. Light-weight, gentle skincare products that cleanse and calm the skin without clogging the pores are most beneficial for acne-prone skin.
COMBINATION SKIN
Combination skin can be a mix of oily, dry, and balanced skin and can be affected by ageing, hormones, and climate. Gentle daily cleansing and toning, followed by moisturising with nutrient-rich, non-comedogenic products is recommended.
OILY SKIN
Oily skin occurs when the skin produces too much sebum, or oil, which can lead to blocked pores and blemishes. Skin may look shiny with larger than normal pores. Oily skin needs moisture. Recommended skincare products include those that help balance excess oil and are non-comedogenic.
