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.
