GLOSSARY
SKIN TYPE: | |
---|---|
SENSTITIVE | Use gentle milk cleansers and moisturisers with calming ingredients eg. Aloe and Chamomile to avoid aggravation. Drink water to keep skin hydrated, and touch skin minimally. |
DRY | Skin lacks oil, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. Prevent premature ageing with rich moisturisers, eat foods high in Omega-3 oils, avoid overexposure to sun and wind and exfoliate regularly. |
OILY | Indicates an excess of bodily heat. Skin gets clogged more easily which causes black/whiteheads and enlarged pores. Touch skin with clean hands and gently exfoliate to remove dead cells. |
MATURE | Intrinsic ageing is irreversible but extrinsic ageing can be slowed by protecting skin against UV damage, taking antioxidant-rich Vitamins A, C, E and Bioflavanoids, and not smoking. |
NORMAL/ COMBINATION | Oily T-Zone with drier cheek and eye areas. Benefits from deep cleansing, clay masks, hydrating and firming products and treatments, with more moisturising needed in colder months. |
