Almost 20% of white women above the age of 30 are affected by Rosacea. Yet most people know very little about it. Does the following sound familiar? Then you probably suffer from Rosacea.
The price of beauty products varies enormously. An expensive moisturiser does not guarantee its effectiveness. In fact you should certainly be suspicious if you have to pay more than 60 euro’s for a product. There is no combination of active ingredient which can make your product so costly. Not even if the product contains high concentrations of active ingredients (and sadly this is seldom the case…).
After explaining yesterday what a moisturiser does for your skin, I am now going to tell you about its use.
The majority of people need to use a Moisturiser. In the step by step plan this step comes before sun cream. Some Moisturizers contain a Sun Protection Factor (SPF), but in general I think it is wise to use a separate product. I will explain this later in my blog.
I received a mail concerning babycare skin products after my story was read in a national newspaper. It was someone who had noticed that the products she used for her children contained irritants. Because I have four young children I am always scrutinizing ingredient lists on baby products. To my amazement it appears that there are a large number of baby products that are far from mild. It is also not so surprising then, that the number of skin problems amongst young children is rapidly rising.
As you get older wrinkles appear, that’s nothing new. But it takes a long time and energy before the first wrinkles start to show. The older you become the less able your skin is of completely recovering from damage (for example due to harsh cosmetic products, the sun or air conditioning).
A separate night cream is not necessary. A good day cream is also just as good for night time. There is no difference in the creams in terms of the formula. The only difference between a day and night cream is that a sun protection factor is incorporated into the day cream, which is something that is not required for the night cream.
The optimum care for your skin starts with a Cleanser. Below is an explanation of what a Cleanser is and what it does.
I was really impressed to read that more leading dermatologists (Goldberg, Kligman etc.) point out that skin products with perfumes and other irritating ingredients not only disturb the barrier function of the skin, but also accelerate ageing of the skin.
