Becomes hairy in certain areas of the body that we then have to pluck, shave, wax & laser - or not.
Has 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes, and more than 1,000 nerve endings attached to it. (Statistics taken from Google). Melanocytes are cells that give us our skin colour.
Sometimes has the need to purge and leave breakouts, especially before an event!
We paint on make up to cover up.
We should be slapping on SPF to protect.
So why are we neglecting our largest organ of the body?
Why do we skimp on skincare but spend 100's of dollars on make up?

And why is it that once premature ageing has set in, we panic?
Skin needs to be nutured as soon as we hit puberty. Hormones play a huge role when it comes to our skin's behaviour. At birth - skin is normal; although we may be presented with birth marks and conditions that are out of our control.
At puberty, males especially will notice the oil set in, large pores and breakouts. An increase in the hormone androgen is to take responsibility. Although a male hormone, it is also prevalent in females. An increase of facial hair on a female could be a sign of too much androgen.
Girls will notice breakouts, especially on the jaw line and below the cheeks just before and during their period. Hormones are to blame! Lifestyle, cleanliness and poor diet will also attribute to problem skin.
Pregnancy and skin! You will either be glowing or your skin will go crazy. Those hormones are working overtime.
Menopause.....don't get me started!!! What the hell, breakouts again? Moustaches on woman???? Dryness, itchy and pigmentation to add to the list.
CLEANSING should be done every night to remove make up and excess oil. Not sometimes ..... but EVERY night and morning.
EXFOLIATE only once a week, or you will strip the oils on your skin, which in turn will produce more oil. Vicious circle!
MOISTURISE to hydrate and lock in moisture. If you are too dry, chances are your fine lines and wrinkles will be accentuated.
Remember to always wear SPF SUNSCREEN when outdoors. Sun damaged skin will AGE you. Rubber-like skin is not a good look. Hyperpigmentation will set in too.
Once you establish your skin routine; add on your serums to nourish the cells and rejuvenate your collagen and elastin- the building blocks that give your skin plumpness and stretch.

Add your eye cream to nourish the soft skin under the eyes. Include a masque - but don't just slap it on without cleansing and exfoliating first. This will give the the full benefit of penetrating further into the skin layers.
