With a little commitment, you can manage your skin's natural beauty at home to maintain your radiant skin, and help delay the signs of aging!
1. Cleansing your Skin
The rst step in caring for your skin is to properly clean it! Perspiration, grease, dust, stale make-up, dirt, and bacteria all collect on your skin and must be completely removed. As there are many different skin types; oily, dry, sensitive, prone to acne, etc; different cleansers do better with each type based on the pH. Cleansing helps to clean the skin, open the pores, and allows for the skin to best absorb the products you are going to apply. If you wear make-up, you may want to first use a makeup remover to get the majority of the make-up off your face prior to cleansing.
To properly cleanse, begin by wetting the face with lukewarm water. Apply the cleanser that is best for your skin type on your face and neck and gently massage it in circular, upward motions for at least five minutes or as per the instructions provided with the cleanser you are using). Remove by using a damp wash cloth and warm water to ensure all of the residue is removed from the face. Cleanse morm=ning and night!
Toning is an important step a lot of people look over! It helps remove any remaining greasiness on your skin after the cleansing process is complete. It helps to close pores, rene skin, maintain the skin's natural pH, and if you intend to use makeup, it leaves a smooth clean texture which will hold foundation and powder longer.
3. Serum Treatments
There are many options to treat your skin with somme very high quality and effective serums. Serums can be oil based or cream/gel based. Each has their merits and advantages. Essentially Me Aromatherapy & Wellness have a fabulous range of intensively acting serums for day and night time use. But I would always recommend their Hyaluronic Acid with MSM, DMAE and Camellia Oil.. This is a milk like serum, very effective and a small bit goes a long way. Maybe the powerpack Restauration de Jeunesse with Vitamin C is for you. A powerhouse in anti aging! or try the night serum Crème Réparatrice de Nuit with Viatmins A, & B Renew and revitalise skin with this ultimate transformative serum!!
4. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!
Nourishing your skin is also an essential part of any beauty routine. Dirt, hot and cold weather, cosmetics, and sunlight all dry out the skin, robbing it of moisture and oil. Moisturisers are nourishing skin "foods" that revive its natural healthiness. Different skin types. need diifferent moisturisers. For oily skin, avoid moisturizers that contain oils and opt for one that contains glycerin instead. If you have dry skin, applying a moisturiser immediatley after the toner to reduce drying of the skin and to prevent transepidermal water loss that ultimately leads to fine lines and wrinkle formation. If you have normall skin, you can use a product that contains oil or glycerin. For an upmarket antiwrinkle moisturiser with all the goodies try the Echelon Luxe Crème.A luxurious moisturiser suitable for all skin types designed to protect skin from the delicate ageing process through multiple channels. Peptides diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while vitamin C brightens the complexion & antioxidants help to combat skin inflammation.

5. SPF protection
In our harsh climate with such strong sunlight and UV levels, you must use a SPF cream, at least 20 % and up to 50 %. This should be applied twice during the day. You can fins some nice quality SPF that are tinted if you want a bit of a glow, and no makeup. There is no reason not to protect your skn, Unless you are in bed asleep!
