Five Quick Buying Tips
We can’t stress enough on how important it is to decode and analyse the ingredient list on the back of your skincare product label. Make sure your product doesn’t include nasties such as parabens, sulphates, phthalates or mineral oil that can irritate, burn, inflame and damage your skin irreparably.
If it’s a skincare product aimed at brightening or lightening, its better to avoid hydroquinone, as it leads to redness, extreme dryness and can be pretty harsh on sensitive skin.
Make sure that the product you buy is designed to suit your skin type. Certain gel cleansers can be pretty harsh and they are tailor made for extremely oily skin and therefore when applied to dry skin can strip it of all its moisture leaving it dehydrated and tight.
It's important to look for the dermatological stamp of approval since these products have been tested for adverse reactions. This becomes all the more critical if you have sensitive skin or skin prone to allergies.
Your daily skincare regimen is incomplete without Vitamin A, C, E a mix of which provides a smooth glowy hydrated finish to your skin. And lets not forget powerful Bio-Retinols which boost the collagen content of your skin helping erase signs of premature ageing, fine lines and age spots.
