Send your skin to ‘bootcamp’

Strip back a complicated regime and turn to a clean, simple, sensitive regime for a week and you’ll soon notice the difference. Just like exercise improves your body tone and fitness, the right cocktail of skin care will do the same thing for your skin.

 

No matter what condition your skin’s in, it will benefit from proper cleansing. How you prepare your skin for treatment is as imperative as the products you use. Wash your face morning and night. This will help shrink pores and regulate oil production, even out skin tone and prevent breakouts. It may be tempting to slip into the sheets without removing your makeup, but your skin won’t thank you for it later. Gratiae’s Facial Milk Cleansing Lotion is ideal for gently removing impurities – gently leaving it softer and smoother.

 

Use organic products that are paraben free, since these will not irritate skin, plus they aren’t harmful to the environment. Gratiae’s skin care range is organic and kind to even the most sensitive of skin.

 

Moisturize right after cleansing, even if you think you have oily skin. If you don’t moisturize your oil glands will go into overdrive and produce even more oil. A light moisturizer is ideal for daily use, with a richer one before bed.

 

Exfoliate to rid your skin of dead cells. A light scrub evens skin tone, shrinks pores and leaves skin smoother. Do this regularly and you’ll notice how make-up glides on much more easily.

 

Use a clarifying mask to detox the skin, clear blackheads, decrease pores and generally refresh the skin

 

Don’t use hot water on the face, since this will rob skin of essential oils and dehydrate it, damaging the cells. It will also enlarge pores and might irritate the skin leaving it dry and flaky. Always wash skin at room temperature water and rinse with cool water to finish.
