Skin that is dry and dehydrated can be very difficult to manage. Fine lines appear at an early age, skin can flake and peel. Sometimes it may seem that nothing you apply even soaks in. If your skin is flaky and itchy, it may be due to an allergy or sensitivity. Choose products from the Enriching Range. Check with your doctor if you are concerned.

The lotions and creams I’ve developed have pure, natural vegetable oils which penetrate and healing herbal extracts and vitamins that are designed to nourish, replenish and protect your skin.

Special botanical ingredients are included to help minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing out the skin and helping to keep it supple.

Daily Routine:

a.m. Massage Enriching Cleanser gently into skin. Rinse off with a damp face cloth or a cotton pad. Apply Enriching Face Toner with a cotton pad to remove any traces of cleanser or dirt. Allow to dry and then apply Enriching Face Lotion. If you require further moisturisation, apply Skinflint Rosehip Recovery Serum before applying lotion.

p.m. Follow the same routine as the morning. Apply Enriching Face Lotion. Use Rosehip Recovery Serum on areas prone to wrinkles and dryness.
Once or twice a week use Enriching Face Polish in place of Enriching Cleanser.

Weekly Routine:

Once per week, apply a Clay Mask
It’s preferable NOT to use commercial soap or harsh petroleum detergent based wash off cleansers on your face. If you don’t want to use a cleanser in the morning, simply wash with a damp face cloth and warm water. Castor Seed oil makes a good cleanser and make-up remover if you don’t have anything else suitable.

Oily skin can be the most frustrating type of skin to deal with. Make up doesn’t stay on and pores can get clogged and infected, causing break-outs and acne.

Fortunately, acne generally occurs only during adolescence and early adulthood. Sometimes, though, it can continue throughout life, causing distress and embarrassment.

Oily skin does have its benefits, believe it or not. As your skin ages, it is less likely to develop wrinkles. Any lines will be softer and less obvious. Your skin will stay supple and young looking as you get older.

The tendency for people with oily skin is to wash frequently with foaming and scrubby cleansers. Be careful with the brands you choose. Many contain harsh surfactants which can cause flakiness and other reactions. Skinflint products use very gentle vegetable based surfactants that will not strip the moisture from your skin.

Skinflint Clarifying Range is specially designed for people with oily skin. The Clarifying Face Lotion contains Beta Hydroxy Acids in the form of salicylic acid, both in its natural form as White Willow Bark extract and a synthetic form. BHA’s exfoliate within the pores so are an essential part of the skin care regime for people with oily skin and blocked pores. Gentle kaolin clay is added to help with absorption of excess oil.

Daily Routine:

a.m. Rinse face with a wash cloth and warm water or use Clarifying Cleanser or Face Polish. Apply Clarifying Toner with a cotton pad or spray with Clarifying Spritzer. Apply a small amount of Clarifying Face Gel.

If using foundation, it’s best to use a pressed foundation such as Natural compatibles Wet and Dry. This contains minerals that absorb excess oil and conceal large pores.
Wet and Dry Foundation is a versatile product can be applied wet with a damp sponge, or dry with a brush or a dry sponge.

p.m. Use Clarifying Cleanser or Clarifying Face Polish to remove any make up and/or excess oils and dirt. Massage gently into skin and rinse off. Apply Clarifying Toner with a cotton pad or use the Spritzer spray. While still moist apply a small amount of Clarifying Face Lotion.

Weekly Routine:

Two to three times per week, apply a Clay Mask to draw out impurities and minimise appearance of large pores. If you find your skin is very oily in the morning, try using dry clay on a wet face as a quick cleanser/gentle scrub.

Treatments:

If break outs occur, dab with tea tree oil on a cotton tip. If you have acne, dilute the Tea Tree oil in a tiny bit of Vodka. You can also just apply some Clarifying Toner to spots to help dry them out.

Always moisturise your skin. It may feel as if it has too much moisture, but oil is only one aspect of moisture. It needs the water component as well. If you apply a small amount of Skinflint Face Lotion while your skin is still damp from Skinflint Toner, you won’t be applying too much.

A mixture of oily and normal skins, this is also tricky to deal with. People with this sort of skin usually have an oily T-zone and normal to oily skin on the cheeks. If your cheek area is more dry than normal, then use the Enriching Range.
