Skin Colour or Tone
Healthy skin has a consistent tone all over. With unhealthy skin, it is easy to notice patches of different tones all over the face. One of the most common signs of unhealthy skin is excessive darkening around the eyes. This could be the result of many unhealthy habits or an underlying health condition. For example, stress and lack of sleep can cause it, lack of water intake.
Skin Dryness
When your skin is extremely dry, flaky, and itchy, your skin is trying to tell you something. Dry skin will be especially prominent in areas like around the lips, under and around the eyes, elbows, knees, and ankles.
Skin Texture
When you feel your skin, you’ll be able to either feel smooth, healthy skin, or bumpy, rough skin. Bumpy skin could be early development of acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. Skin needs to be cleaned regularly so the pores don’t become clogged. Otherwise, they start developing sebum, which is the result of accumulation of the skin’s natural oils mixed with impurities.

Through personal measure, many unhealthy skin issues can be improved. Above are the three most common signs, so what are the remedies/treatments?
Cleansing and moisturising, eating skin-friendly food, increased water intake, and applying quality skincare products will all help. But let’s get more into detail...

Step 1
When washing your face whether in the shower or sink side, use appropriate face wash and not any cleansers or soaps rich in chemicals that will damage and dry the skins natural moisture. We recommend our cleansing Face Wash that provides mild detergency and gently foaming properties to remove dirt and oil from the skin. Rich of Propolis and Honeybee Moisture Complex that have anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties to enhance skin renewal whilst also boosting and retaining the skin's moisture.
Step 2
Moisturise skin after every wash. Natural skin oils may be washed away during the wash phase, potentially leaving your skin to feel dry. If this is the case use appropriate moisturisers for the face, like our Revitalising Moisturiser. This easily absorbed cream will rehydrate and revitalise skin without an oily residue. It contains Myramaze, an ingredient which can have resurrecting effects, leaving skin feeling rejuvenated and invigorated.
Step 3
For the dedicated skincare user or if you want faster results, consider using a serum before bed. Moisturising before bed is a great way to allow your skin to recover and heal while you rest. Repairing from environmental damages, plump cellular structures, refine wrinkles, and minimize the effects of aging. Ensure your face is clean and all the dirt and bacteria attracted during day is washed away and then apply our Day & Night Face Serum. This moisture-rich Ceramide complex repairs skin whilst you rest and Filagrinol helps keep filagrin (a protein made by skin cells that keeps the skin naturally moisturised) production at optimum levels. It is the ultimate natural ingredient to improve skin moisturisation, boosting your morning look.

General Skin Care Health Tips
Ensure your nutrition is on point. Drink enough water and less alcohol/fizzy drinks and eat more fruit/vegetables basic stuff but it all adds up to ensuring your skin is looking its best.: Water is important for overall good health because it aids in digestion and helps with the health of our skin. It is a very important part of moisture for your body and if your skin is not getting the enough amount of water it needs, the lack of hydration will present itself by turning your skin dry, tight and flaky. Same with fruit and vegetables, as they contain various vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants which can help keep your skin healthy.
