As a makeup artist, I feel that great skin is the first step toward an excellent makeup. Skin plays a vital role in your life ~ how you look and feel directly correlates to your skin. goal : beautiful, healthy skin.

• partaking in health and beauty rituals indiscriminately - slowing time and gravity’s tentacles continues to lead us on a trail that has been philosophised throughout history. Beauty comes from within, for the beauty that is without resembles the beauty that is within.
• making the best choices for our bodies, and ultimately our skin, is achieved through diet/ food, exercise, regular professional treatments, personalised homecare, AND A HEALTHY MENTAL ATTITUDE.

The type of skin you have depends on your genes, sex, age, environment, structure and regeneration. So ye shall reap, ye shall sow. How you treat your skin will always be evident in your face, hands and body. Its never too early nor too late to begin looking after your skin.

Skin cleansing is essential ~ pollution, grease and grime cling to the skin, clogging pores; while the body eliminates toxins through perspiration. If the cleansing process is not thoroughly undertaken, the skin will look and feel sluggish, tired, and minor skin problems and irritations will transpire.

• cleansing should be part of the daily routine ~ upon waking, and before returning to bed; before using special treatments (masks); before and after makeup; and after sport (to wash away perspiration and grime that builds up) ~ all without disturbing the skins natural acidity.

The acid mantle (or pH) valiantly guards the skin against bacterial invasion and other disturbances; warding off moisture loss, leaving the skin smooth, fine and blemish free.
