Background Information

Your skin is the body's largest organ. It weighs between two and
four kilos, covers between one and two square metres and
completely renews itself every seven to ten weeks. Your skin
reflects your state of health, being soft and smooth when well
cared for, or dry and flaky when taken for granted. To be the
proud owner of beautiful, soft, young-looking skin, you need to
take care of it.

Daily Skin Care Regime

Men as well as women will see a marked improvement in their skin
if they follow a good skin care plan. Cleanse, tone and
moisturise daily. Then exfoliate and use a mask a regularly. We
all need to cleanse our face and neck, morning and night. The
accumulation of dead cells, perspiration and make-up mixed with
the grime in the atmosphere, clogs up our pores and results in a
dull and lifeless appearance. After cleansing a toner is used to
remove the last traces of cleanser and tighten and tone the
pores. Toner leaves the skin feeling invigorated and cool. Next
use a moisturizer. Pollution, sunlight, harsh weather, air
conditioning and central heating remove moisture from the skin.
This causes dry and dull skin. Two litres of water daily will
hydrate your skin from the inside. You should also add moisture
from the outside. A good moisturizer will help prevent your
skin's moisture from evaporating into the atmosphere. All skin
types, including oily, need moisturizers.

Extras to ensure a radiant skin

An appropriate exfoliant will remove dead cells from the skin's
surface. This speeds up the production of new cells. It also
improves blood circulation, which gives the skin a healthy glow.
Eye creams are designed for the sensitive areas around the eye.
Choose one that reduces puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles. It
is better to use a day and a night cream. They have different
formulations. This will improve skin elasticity, texture and
appearance dramatically. During the night your skin needs a
special cream to rehydrate and rejuvenate skin cells so that you
wake up with a refreshed, softer complexion. In the shower use a
soap free body wash. This is gentler on the skin and cuts down
on cleaning the shower recess!! Apply a cream, or spray on, body
moisturizer to your whole body after showering. Follow this
regime and you will have beautiful skin for the rest of your
life.
