Skin Care

Your skin works hard every day, and a simple, consistent routine supports it better than an elaborate one you only follow occasionally.
Start with cleansing once or twice a day with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser that suits your skin type. Over-washing or harsh scrubbing can strip the natural barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out.
Moisturising after cleansing helps keep that barrier healthy. Choose a light moisturiser for oily skin and a richer one for drier skin, and apply it while the skin is still slightly damp.
Protection from the sun is the single most effective daily habit. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days, and reapply when you spend long hours outdoors.
The best routine is the one you can sustain. If you have persistent redness, itching or breakouts, a dermatologist can help you find what is causing them.
