IS YOUR SKIN ON THE RIGHT DIET?

Ask any woman, and she’ll tell you that choosing the right beauty product for her skin is amongst life’s most difficult decisions. How do you decide what works best for your skin type? Start by knowing your skin and knowing the product you’ve decided upon. Although it is largely acknowledged that there are five skin types, changes do take place from time to time depending upon weather, hormonal changes, environment, eating habits, stress, alcohol and smoking.

Dry skin needs constant moisturizing. Since lack of oil causes flaking or peeling, one should apply plenty of petroleum jelly, Vaseline, glycerin or other oil-based creams.
Aids: Herb oils; shea oils; crushed almonds; carrots; honey; linseed seed; calendula oil; milk; coconut and seaweed extract – all of which help the skin to retain moisture.

Oily skin is most vulnerable to spots and pimples because of its greasy surface. To keep the open pores from producing excess oil, it is preferable to opt for oil-free and alcohol-free products. Plenty of water helps like nothing else!
Aids: Kaolin clay; grape fruit; willow, horse tail, witch hazel; apple; neem oil – these natural products can go a long way in deep cleansing, calming and disinfecting the skin.

Sensitive skin needs careful handling, since there’s no knowing which cosmetic, soap, alcohol or fragrance it might react to. Even sun exposure and environmental factors can cause redness, blotchiness and itching. So do a patch test on your skin before using any product, it could help you find the right product.
Aids: Plum nectar; stone crop, rosehip; algae; wild oat extract; rosemary extract; and vitamin E work great on sensitive skin. Stay away from cosmetics that have perfumes, dyes or chemicals as ingredients.

Normal skin types are the truly blessed ones! Since the skin is neither greasy nor dry, all you need is normal cleaning, toning and moisturizing. And voila, you’ll be the glowworm at the party!
Aids: Although you have no reason to worry, your chosen cosmetic would do well to have some of these: chamomile; tomato; evening primrose oil; odourless garlic; cucumber and strawberries. They have rejuvenating properties and nourish the skin.

Combination skin combines a greasy forehead-nose-chin area with dry cheeks-mouth-neck area. That makes the skin regimen slightly complicated…the oily T zone has to be kept dry and vice versa.
Aids: Aloe vera; red rose petals; green tea; water cress; rosemary extract and hazel are rich in properties that can cleanse, soften and soothe the skin.
