Skin care Tips! As lockdown continues, have you committed to caring for your skin using my example of a daily skincare routine given in April’s issue? If so, I am confident that your skin will have started to reap the benefits and be fresh, glowing and hydrated. Time now to enhance those routines with the addition of exfoliation and masks. By introducing these into our skin care, we can improve the skins surface and deeper layers.
Exfoliation
Face Masks
On a regular basis will stimulate and increase the natural process of cell renewal. Improving skin texture and removing the barrier of dead skin cells that can clog pores causing the skin to look dull. Products applied after will penetrate more deeply providing an increased effect.
Help address specific skin concerns; are problem solving and/or give a dramatic boost to the skin. They can deep cleanse or provide intense hydration and nourishment. Again, be guided by your skin. You can ‘multimask’ ….apply different masks to different areas of the face to address specific concerns.

Exfoliator products can be physical scrubs/brushes/mitts that remove the dead surface cells or chemical ingredients within a product that break down the bonds between cells allowing you to wash them away.
Skin is unique so be guided by your skin condition and chosen exfoliant as to how often to exfoliate. Some will be suitable for daily use (if your skin needs it) or maybe 2 to 3 times per week. Cleanse first, then exfoliate. If using a mask incorporate next or go straight to toner, serums and moisturisers.
Always apply to clean skin, dry or damp, with clean hands to avoid the transfer of oils or bacteria. Alternatively, use a brush such as a clean flat foundation brush. Apply one even layer – less is more! Leave for the advised time… longer doesn’t mean it works better! Remove as advised and follow with toner, serums and moisturisers. Use consistently to reap maximum benefit, up to 3 times per week. Banish the idea that a face mask is just a treat!
