If you want gorgeous skin you better start here, we'll show you your skin type and the best way on how to care for it.

QUICK FIVE-STEP SKIN CARE

These steps work together and are directly related to the appearance and maintenance of the skin.

1. Cleansing removes impurities, oily secretion and dulling dead surface cells. Proper cleansing enables your skin to renew itself more quickly giving you a clean clear glow. It also makes sure your skin is more receptive to toners, moisturisers and any special treatments.
   
   
2. Toning or rinsing will eliminate the last traces of cleanser, and stimulate the skin. If you have dry skin just splash tepid water on face. Check dry skin info.
   
   
3. Moisturising will add moisture (and emollients if skin is dry) to the skin surface, it will protect against natural moisture loss.
   
   
4. Nourishing deep feeds the skin at night when the body is more receptive to treatment.  This is a more intensive form of treatment than the daytime moisturiser. Again, if you have dry skin you can use a richer moisturiser daily.
   
   
5. Special care includes eye and lip treatments, face scrubs, cleansing, masques, moisturising masques, etc.  These are more concentrated forms of skincare treatment and designed for specific areas of the face.
   

The above steps all work together in:

• Improving the function and appearance of a "poor" skin.
  
  
• Maintaining the function and appearance of a "good" skin.

Skin Types

NORMAL

Your skin is balanced which feels neither oily nor dry. It feels and looks fine and smooth, has pores that are nearly invisible. Rarely do you suffer from blemishes or have allergic reactions to products.

Care for your skin - To keep it this way for as long as possible as you age, by maintaining its natural balance of oils and moisture.

Cleanse Tone Moisturise - Use gentle pH balanced cleanser or milk cleansing lotion and rinse well to remove all product ensuring skin is clean. Then use a rose water or fresh toner to stimulate your skin, avoid alcohol toners as they can dry out your skin. To moisturise, use light to medium product this will maintain moisture in the skin and protect it.
In winter for more protection use a rich moisturiser so your skin doesn’t dry out too much.

DRY

As you age your skin tends to get drier, though you can have dry skin at any age or even just dry patches. This skin type can look flaky and thin with very fine pores. Air conditioning sun and wind can add to the dry feeling of your skin. Dryness can effect both cool and warm skin tones.

Care for you skin - Dry skin needs gentle care with loads of nourishing moisture.

Cleanse Tone Moisturise - Cleanse with a rich creamy cleanser or an alcohol free moisturising soap. Wash away then tone with a splash of cold water. Or use rose water as a soothing alternative. Use alcohol-free products as alcohol based products dry the skin. To moisturise use a rich cream both day and night.

COMBINATION

This skin type generally has an oily T zone and normal cheek area.

Care for you skin - Because you have two different skin types it is best to treat with different products. If the T zone is very oily then the cheek area can become dried out using the same product all over.

Cleanse Tone Moisturise - Use a light lotion on your T zone and a normal cleanser on the rest of your face. Unless you have a dry cheek area, in this case you would use a rich cream cleanser on your cheeks. Use witch hazel on your T zone and rose water on the rest of your face. Use a light moisturiser with sunscreen on your neck cheeks and forehead, no need to use anything on the T zone as this produces enough oils.
