Cleansers and Toners
A cleanser is used to remove make-up, dead skin cells, oil, dirt, and other pollutants from your face and neck. This helps to unclog pores and prevent skin conditions such as acne. Toners help remove excess oils and remaining dead skin cells after washing. Toners also help the skin applications that follow, such as serums and moisturisers, to penetrate the skin more rapidly.
Exfoliators
Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface. Chemical exfoliators in skincare products include salicylic acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), and Poly Hydroxy Acids (PHAs). Salicylic acid is most often used in acne treatments as it is able to penetrate through sebaceous glands. AHAs and PHAs are most often used in anti-ageing treatments, where they promote cellular regeneration. Studies show that regular use of exfoliators promotes the production of collagen and elastic tissue to delay the process of ageing.
Eye Treatments
Eye treatments strengthen the delicate eye area and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes. Lash treatments deliver nutrients directly to the lashes, enhancing their appearance.
Moisturisers
The process of ageing and exposure to the elements tends to dehydrate the skin and disrupt its barrier function. Moisturisers help to keep skin supple, hydrated and comfortable by restoring the natural moisturising factors (NMF) and repairing or restoring the skin barrier function. The Skinsmart recommended brands often combine additional ingredients to target other specific skin concerns.
Neck and Decolletage
A holistic anti-ageing skincare approach means that treatment of the face is extended to the neck and décolletage area. There are, in addition, specific creams recommended for use in this area.
Serums
Serums are lightweight products which offer superior penetration into the skin cells. Their scientific formulation is made up of small molecules with a high concentration of active ingredients. Serums are designed to be applied immediately after cleansing and before moisturising. They often target a combination of skin concerns. Skinsmart recommended serums offer you the combined benefits of prevention, treatment and hydrating ingredients.
