Q: I have skin that is oily and prone to breakouts. What type of facial products should I use which will be best for my skin?
A: The skin sheds dead skin cells daily. Excessive oil production binds these dead skin cells together, forming a blockage at the opening of the pores. This blockage traps oil and bacteria, resulting in the formation of blemishes.
Daily cleansing, toning and moisturising with any tea tree range will help to prevent oil build-up and blemishes from forming. It controls shine, prevents excess oily and impurities, without over drying the skin.
Q. I am concerned about the uncontrollable environmental factors which could have adverse effects on my skin,. What should I do to protect my skin?
A: The skin is constantly being subjected to harsh conditions such as the UV rays from the sun and pollutants. For your skin's daily protection, apply skincare products with Vitamin E which is one of the best and powerful antioxidants around. It helps neutralise free radicals. These are destructive molecules that attack the skin cells.
