Dry Skin

If you have dry skin, you may notice your skin is usually tight and possibly even flakey. Your pores are almost unnoticeable. After you wash your skin, you can feel it begging for moisture. People with dry skin often deal with more surface wrinkles and fine lines then those with combination to oily skin due to dehydration. Not only should you be washing, toning and moisturizing in the morning, you should also make sure to do the same at night. When looking for a toner, make sure you are not buying an astringent which is made specifically for oily skin as this will leave your skin even drier..

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

Cleanse: Pour a small amount of Special Cleansing Gel 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 Skin Smoothing Cream over a damp face and throat with light, upward strokes. Pat Intensive Eye Repair gently around the eye area, blending inward from the outer corner.

Recommended Weekly Care: (twice weekly)

Exfoliate: Apply a thin layer of Gentle Cream Exfoliant over cleansed skin, avoiding the lip and nostril area. Use care around the delicate eye area as well. Let activate for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse well.

Hydrate: Apply a smooth film of Skin Hydrating Masque to clean face and throat. Allow masque to absorb for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse with tepid water.
