Dehydrated Skin

Dehydrated skin is defined as the skin in which surface dehydration takes place. It is the problem affecting about ninety eight percent of the population. It has different problems associated in varying ways. It leads to scaly, taut, premature ageing and various symptoms.

This is taut skin with a scaly feel, revealing a lot of superficial lines and prone to premature ageing. As is obvious, this skin condition is caused by the rapid loss of water on thin surface of the skin.

The most important thing is to point out the cause for dehydration and take necessary steps to overcome it.

Recommended Daily Care: (twice daily, morning and night.).

Cleanse: Pour a small amount of Essential Cleansing Solution into the palm of the hand. Apply with the fingertips to the face and throat using smooth upward strokes. Concentrate on any areas of impurity, allowing the solution to completely liquify stale makeup and debris. Rinse well with warm water.

Tone: Follow with a Multi-Active Toner. Toner evens out porosity of the skin to allow moisturiser to be more evenly absorbed. Excellent for men as soothing after-shave spritz.

Moisturize: Apply Super Rich Repair over damp face and throat with light, upward strokes. Can be applied over or mixed with Skin Hydrating Booster for additional results. Pat Intensive Eye Repair gently around the eye area, blending inward from the outer corner.

Recommended Weekly Care: (twice weekly)

Exfoliate: After cleansing apply Multivitamin Thermafoliant to damp skin in circular motions for 1-2 minutes, avoiding the eye area.Rinse thoroughly with warm water. A more intense result can be acheived by applying directly to dry skin. Use two to three times a week.

Hydrate: Apply Intensive Moisture Masque generously to clean face and throat. Allow masque to set for ten minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
