Our skincare experts offer you guidance and tips on how to best care for your skin and that of your loved ones. We explore cutting-edge clinical research and translate it into clear, relevant findings and meaningful advice that you can understand and use.
Sharing all we have learned about skincare is part of our mission to help you do what you do best: take care of yourself and those you love.
Healthy skin provides your whole body with a two-way barrier: it keeps contaminants out and locks moisture in. It shields you from UV rays, pollution, bacteria, viruses and other harmful stimuli.
Healthy skin holds a constant body temperature of 37ºC, maintained through perspiration and the constriction and dilation of blood vessels.
Skin is covered with receptors that allow you to feel heat and cold, pain and sensory pleasure. It reveals your moods and is intrinsically linked to your physical and emotional wellbeing.
Your skin can recognise infectious agents and trigger defence mechanisms.
Your skin sheds its dead cells on a daily basis, creating a new layer of skin every 28 days. Even while you sleep, your skin is busy exfoliating and renewing itself.
Your skin is a resilient and complex organ, with multiple layers of tissue, collagen and glands. It is a vital living reflection of your inner health and wellbeing, and vice-versa.
Helping your skin to work at its natural best starts with choosing the products you want to use every day, and which are suited to your skin type. Healthy skin adapts to seasonal or environmental changes, regulates moisture and temperature, and protects you against external elements.
A daily skincare routine can constantly replenish your natural resilience. By working with our skin a little every day, we prime it to work for us.
There’s more to skincare than meets the eye. Products that respect and restore your skin’s natural pH balance should be the basis of your daily skincare routine. The ideal pH level for skin ranges from 4.5 to 5.0. If you use products that lower the pH levels in your skin, its natural barriers can be compromised, causing irritation. If pH levels are too high, your skin can feel tight and dry.
