Good skin care begins with understanding of the nature of human skin.

Skin condition is determined by factors which influence the skin's content of water (moisture) and oil (sebum).
Climate, genetic background, age and body hormone levels are the main factors which determine skin type. Basic skin types are dry, normal, oily, sensitive and combination skin. Understand the characteristics.

Do you know your skin type?

With the envirnmental enemies we now have, our skin suffers and shows aging at a higher rate of speed today than ever in the history of women. Skin is so vulnerable to attack and is so subject to daily wear and tear, it needs care and protection. Do you really know your actual skin type? Have you been to a facialist for a professional opinion and advice?  Know your accurate skin type and the care it requires. Only then, will you be able to choose your products wisely. Your skin deserves it.

Oily Skin

Oily skin results when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, giving skin a shiny appearance and sometimes a greasy or sticky feel that is present several hours after cleansing. It is also characterized by larger pores than other skin types and is more prone to breakouts, clogged pores and blemishes. Oily skin tends to wrinkle less readily than drier skin types. The large amount of oil on the skins surface helps the upper layers retain water and protects the skin from envirnmental causes of dryness. Our oil free moisturizer for oily skin, helps to control surface oiliness and makes pores appear smaller, leaving skin smooth textured, radiant and oil-free. Oily skin needs oil free moisturizing.

Combination Skin Type

Combination skin is healthy looking, with a smooth texture and some oiliness in the T-zone area, (The area forming a T across the forehead and down to the nose and chin) with some signs of dryness on the cheeks and outer edges of the face. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this skin until later in life.
We need to control the excess oil in the T-zone area, yet leave the dry areas moist and supple and restore the skins delicate balance, which is neither too oily nor too dry. Learn your skin type.

Normal skin is healthy looking, with smooth texture. It contains a balance of oil and moisturizer and has infrequent blemishes or clogged pores. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life. We help preserve skin's delicate balance of oils and moisture. Thus helping give skin a healthy, more radiant appearance.

Dry skin is characterized by small pores and a matte finish (dull) finish, with little or no superficial oil or shine. Expression lines are quick to form on dry skin, especially around the eyes and mouth. Dry skin is most common in women over 35 and those who live in hot or cold,low humidity climates. Dry skin can develope among women who don't protect their skin from the outdoor elements. Skin may become rough and flake or crack. For dry skin, our products eleviate taut, dry feeling as they restore skin to its optimum moisture balance. Leaving skin feeling refreshed as they moisturize, soften and protect the skin against the loss of essentials elements.
