Frequently Asked Questions

• Normal: Balanced skin, not too oily or dry.
• Oily: Shiny or greasy T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).
• Dry: Tight, flaky, or dull skin with visible dryness.
• Combination: Oily in the T-zone but dry or normal in other areas.
• Sensitive: Prone to redness, irritation, or allergic reactions.

Serums: Lightweight, concentrated formulas targeting specific skin concerns (e.g., wrinkles, acne, pigmentation). They typically contain active ingredients like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and so on.

Moisturisers: Hydrating products that lock in moisture and provide a protective barrier. They tend to be thicker than serums and help keep the skin soft and smooth.

Non-comedogenic means a product is formulated not to clog pores. It’s a good term to look for in moisturisers, sunscreens, and makeup products if you have acne-prone or oily skin.

• Morning Routine:

• Exfoliation frequency depends on your skin type:
  • Sensitive skin: 1-2 times per week.
  • Oily or acne-prone skin: 2-3 times a week.
  • Normal or dry skin: 1-2 times per week.
• Over-exfoliating can cause irritation, so listen to your skin.

• Hydrating eye creams: With ingredients like hyaluronic acid to plump up the area and reduce dryness.
• Adequate sleep: Ensure you’re getting enough rest to avoid dark circles caused by fatigue.

• Apply body lotion or body butter while your skin is still slightly damp after showering. This helps lock in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated.
• For extremely dry skin, try a thicker body butter or an oil-based moisturiser.

• Body Lotion: Lighter in texture and absorbs quickly. Best for normal to slightly dry skin.
• Body Butter: Thicker and richer, often containing shea or cocoa butter. Ideal for dry to very dry skin.
• Body Cream: Generally thicker than body lotion but not as rich as body butter. Works well for normal to dry skin and provides longer-lasting hydration.

• To use: Add a few drops to your bath as the water runs or massage it into your skin after your bath to lock in moisture.

• Exfoliating agents: Sugar, salt, or coffee grounds or collaidal oatmeal are common. Sugar scrubs are gentler, while salt scrubs are more abrasive.

• Apply your lotion immediately after a shower or bath while your skin is still slightly damp to help lock in moisture.
• Use a body oil or body butter for extra hydration and to seal in the moisture for longer-lasting softness.
• Keep your lotion in a cool, dry place to avoid it becoming too runny or losing its effectiveness.

While some gentle body scrubs can be used on the face, it’s important to choose one with a fine texture. Avoid abrasive scrubs or those with large particles that could irritate the delicate skin on your face. Consider using a product specifically formulated for facial exfoliation.

• Deodorant: A product that helps to mask or reduce body odour caused by bacteria. It doesn’t stop sweating. Recommended for usage.
