Take care of your skin with the right beauty products

Skin Care Product Tips

Your skin is your most valuable asset. Isn’t it time you showed it some love?

Use An Anti-Ager Now!

Don't wait for the first crow's feet to appear before you reach for that little tube. "Even women in their twenties should be using a topical retinoid – unless they're pregnant or nursing," says dermatologist Francesca Fusco.

Here's Why: retinoids, which contain vitamin A, are one of the most potent agents for preventing and reversing sun damage and signs of ageing. And, says Hirsch, “they’re the ultimate multitasker. They speed skin renewal by shedding dull, pore-clogging cells and increase collagen production to prevent wrinkles.”

Ask your doctor about a retinoid prescription or try an OTC.

I bought the skin products, I thought I ordered toner, but I have Skin clear blemish remover, Skin clear Mattifying as well as skin clear moisturiser. I'm not sure if I have the right products for my skin as the representative did not actually know herself the right combination for me.

Will the blemish work as a clenser and can I use moituriser during the day & night. Or combination of Mattifying SP15 and Moisturiser? Just need advise. I can't say my skin is oily cause I have been using Vaseline Blue Seal for ages. No pimples whatsoever except marks, blemishes etc as a result of sun.
Please advise which products to use. I have a light skin.

I use the Sh'Zen range of facial products, and can't do without it. It contains natural plant and essential oil extracts - my skin is in great condition. You can order the products via the website: www.shzenspa.co.za

They post anywhere in SA. Great service as well!

I use Environ and I have never been happier with my skin. They offer great products at reasonable prices and the products last long too - for example I bought my cleansing gel at the beginning of July and I am still using it - will probably need to get a new gel at the end of the month or so and I use my cleansing gel twice a day every day (costs around R110 for the cleansing gel) - Environ really is worth it.

I'm battling to find a good face wash. My skin feels oily, and I have been told it's because my skin is dry. I have tried cheaper products, expensive products, soaps advertised as being the magical cure for facial cleanliness, face masks....you name it! And my skin seems to be getting worse. I am training for my first triathlon, so perspire a lot, and work with the public, so need to look good! Please help! I'm tired of wasting hard-earned money on products that dont work!
