Advices
You can keep your skin healthy by following a few practical tips:
- Clean, treat and prevent. Don’t let more than 12 hours go by without using some kind of treatment or product on your skin (sun protection factor).
- Use sun cream 365 days a year. This will help to prevent sun damage that leads to wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancer.
- Make the most of moisturising body lotions. In winter apply it to damp skin as soon as you come out of the shower to lock in moisture.
- Consider trying dual skin care products.
