KNOW YOUR SKIN
Sensual & Gorgeous
TRUE DRY - EXTRA DRY; DEHYDRATED
Characteristics are most visible on face, neck, décolletage and hands.
rough texture
loss of elasticity
uneven skin tone
flakiness
fine or deep lines
dull complexion
broken capillaries
lack of moisture caused by inadequate production of the sebaceous glands
proliferation of cracking and chapping
DRY SKIN
lack of moisture caused by low level of sebum
tightness
looks dull especially around eyes and cheeks
prone to fine lines
slightly flaky
never gets shiny - has a matte appearance
has very small or invisible pores
feels uncomfortably dry until moisturizer is applied
may be exacerbated by excessive sun, harsh products, medications
worse with air conditioning, extremes of temperatures and by wind
poor diet and minimal water intake may also contribute
possible deficiency of Vitamin A and B
Add into the equation:
Genetics
individual genetically determined
hormonally triggered
decreasing sebum production is a natural consequence of the ageing process
Environmental damage
accelerates fine lines and wrinkles
exposure thickens the underlying layers
aggravates and deepens superficial lines
slows cell regeneration
