A few skincare habits that actually make a difference
From Eva, who has been doing facials for 23 years.
Most of what helps your skin is dull and cheap. Here is what we tell clients when they ask.
Wear sunscreen, even on the Island in winter
UV gets through cloud. A moisturiser with SPF 30 that you will actually put on every day beats a fancier one you use twice a week.
Do less, not more
If your skin is red, tight or flaking, you are probably exfoliating too often or using too many actives at once. Pull everything back to a gentle cleanser and a plain moisturiser for two weeks and see how it settles.
Patch-test anything new
A little on the inner arm for a few days. It saves a lot of grief.
Book a facial when the season turns
Spring and autumn are when skin changes the most. A proper cleanse, exfoliation and a mask suited to what your skin is doing that month goes a long way. We use Eminence Organic products and match the treatment to your skin on the day, not to a script.
