SKIN TIPS

  • Sunscreen is vital to slow the ageing process! don't forget your neck and decollete, or this will be the way to tell your age.

  • perfume must not be worn on skin that is bare to U.V light, it will pigment faster, leaving your skin blotchy.

  • Ideally we should be cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice daily! Exfoliation should be done twice weekly.

  • To get good consistency with your foundation add a small amount of moisturizer, this will prolong the life of your foundation.

  • Seasonally our skin needs different things. IE: Summer: deep cleanse treatments, Autumn: multi-vitamin facials, Winter: nourishing, hydrating facials, Spring: resurfacing treatments. (micro-dermabration)

  • WATER, WATER, WATER!! 1 glass for every 10kgs you weigh (50kgs= 5 glasses) and for every cup of tea and coffee that you drink add a further 3 glasses of water!
