Its time to start the skin care regime you’re always talking about. Caring for your skin can begin at any age from your twenties, thirties, forties and up it’s never too late. Don’t be overwhelmed with the huge choice of skin care available to you and just start with the basics. Dermalogica have excellent products and is the skincare range we use here in the square spa. It has also won product of the year the last five years. The four most important steps to a skin care routine are

2. Tone
3. SPF
4. Moisturize

You should also use a mask and exfoliate once a week but as long as you do the 4 basic steps you can incorporate this in time.

Skincare Tips You Should Know:
• An SPF is the most important product to have in your skin care regime to prevent ageing, as sun exposure is the no1 cause of wrinkles.

• At the age of 25 we begin to lose our collagen which means at the age of 60 we will have lost 50% of our plump, healthy young looking skin, which is shocking but this can be prevented.

• You need to invest in a quality skincare product. Its no good applying creams to your face that are just going to lie there and take no action, you need to see results.

• When the seasons change your skin changes with them too. So you need to be having consultations with a skin therapist whom you trust to make sure your using the correct products all year round.

• Plan a skin care routine for 2010 and fit it in to your schedule lets face it if you treat it as a task you’re not going to do it.

• When drinking water your body takes it first and your skin is actually the last organ to receive it, your skin needs plenty of water if you want that glow so drink, drink and drink.
