Tips and Advice
Sun Damage
Prevention is better than cure. 90% of age related skin issues are as a direct result of sun damage. I teach my clients about the importance of protecting theirskin from the sun. Prevention is better than cure so start now and use sunscreen every day.
I offer a variety of sunscreens to purchase. Sunscreens have really moved forward and cater for normal, oily or sensitive skin, with or without tint. ZO and Colorscience tinted options offer fantastic coverage meaning a lot of people do not even need to follow with foundation!
Please don’t think you’re protected from UV rays in the home or in the car as the sun penetrates glass. If you need proof, look at a cushion or fabric that’s been in front of a window

Neck and Perfume
The skin on our neck and décolleté is very delicate. A mistake ladies make is that they don’t protect these areas. Our necks take a real bashing from the sun and environmental damage. If it isn’t protected it will soon start to age. My rule is whatever you do with your face continue the routine down your neck (around the back of the neck too) and the décolleté. Use an oil or cream last thing at night and by day sun protection as well – whatever the weather.
I advise that if you spray perfume on your neck / décolleté then please stop.
The alcohol that is in most perfumes reacts with the UV rays and can easily burn your skin. The best place for perfume is on your pulse points, say inside wrists, crook of your elbow or on your body before you get dressed.

Cleansing / Exfoliation

Skin TantrumsMost of us experience ‘skin tantrums’ from time to time. Spots seem to come at the most inappropriate times. After you’ve cleansed your skin in the evening, cover an ice cube either with a damp tissue or cotton pad and run this over the spot. Don’t freeze your skin; just let the area become nicely ‘cool’. Repeat this on and off for around 5-10 minutes – it really does work at reducing the inflammation that’s lurking lower down.

Make-Up Tips
|
Please get into the habit of washing all make-up brushes every week. They harbour bugs and infections that can play havoc with your skin. Wash them in a mild gentle hand wash and let them dry naturally. You’ll find your make-up will go on so much better with a clean brush.
