Your skin is influenced by a range of factors—careful cleansing and appropriate hydration are but two
elements of a healthy skin care regimen. Let us formulate your personal prescription.

How would you describe your skin at present?
Normal
Neither particularly oily, nor particularly dry, with few—if any—blemishes. It has an even texture and tone, with fine pores and a supple, smooth surface.
Combination
Tends to be oilier on the forehead, the nose and beneath the lower lip—but normal-to-dry on the cheeks and neck.
Oily
Shiny in appearance across the face, with a coarser or thicker texture and enlarged pores. It is prone to blemishes, breakouts and blackheads.
Dry
It is patchy, dull and sometimes fragile and/or flaky, with fine pores. It often feels tight after cleansing.

Sensitive
Your skin reacts readily to changes in lifestyle and environmental conditions, such as seasonal allergies. It occasionally appears red, inflamed or irritated.
Mature
Your skin has changed with age, and is prone to dryness and flakiness. You have very few blackheads or blemishes.
Dehydrated
Your skin is dull and patchy, and sensitive in particular areas. It occasionally feels tight or tough, and seems to lack moisture.
Congested
Your skin is prone to uneven texture, aggravation and fluctuation resulting from excess sebum.
No concerns

We propose a daily regimen comprising a cleanser, toner and moisturiser, supplemented by regular exfoliation, deep-cleansing, and intensely nourishing treatments.
Other factors at play
A complex equation
When considering skin’s overall health and appearance, we recognise that our products are only part of the equation.
Various other factors can also impact the skin and determine the products best suited to its care.
Various other factors can also impact the skin and determine the products best suited to its care.
Seasonality
A harsh change in climate—experienced, for instance, by those who travel frequently—can have a drying effect on the skin. Similarly, our skin often reacts to the turning of the seasons, however gradual; and to seasonal allergies such as hay fever. We have found a seasonal approach to skin care to be most effective, taking into account not only the present season, but also the coming months. In hot weather, take care to protect skin from sun exposure, and replenish moisture with a lightweight hydrator; in cold climates, introduce vitamin-rich nourishment and consider a barrier cream to shield skin from biting winds.
Environment
Spending extended periods in air-conditioned and heated interiors, extreme temperatures or polluted environments can contribute to skin feeling dry, dull or congested. Hot and humid environments can also affect the skin adversely.
Lifestyle
Various lifestyle-related factors affect the health of our skin—among them, lack of sleep, stress, smoking and overindulgence in substances such as alcohol—and may leave it susceptible to dullness, blemishes or breakouts. Eat well and heartily: we advocate home-cooked meals with fresh ingredients whenever possible, along with a healthy water intake.
Travel
No matter how wonderful the destination, travel can have a significant impact on the skin, often leaving it vulnerable to extreme changes in climate. Take particular care to replenish lost moisture when travelling, and ensure your regimen takes into consideration any differences in the temperature and environment of your destination.
Heredity
Congenital characteristics and hormones play a significant role in our skin’s condition and appearance, and the changes it experiences over time. If open pores are common in your family, for example, it is likely that you may be given to the same. While we cannot control for these biological factors, we can ensure skin remains as healthy as possible.
