Below are the few products I purchased from SkinPhD and going to use in the next few months.
Cleanser - Cleansing is the basic of skin care. It is important to find a good cleanser to cleanse your face of dirt and impurities while maintaining your skin's pH balance. Cleansing should effectively clean your face to make sure that it can take in all the benefits of serums and creams.
Eye cream - As you may know, the skin around the eye is more delicate, prone to dryness and quick to show signs of aging. It is important that one keeps this part of their face moisturised. It is said that one must start using eye cream in their late twenties. Even though I started using eye cream about three - four years ago, I believe that for a black girl, starting the eye cream regime at age 30-34 is okay. For me it is paying off because one skin therapist I saw last year complimented me but then again I was thinking "I am black, I don't crack easily". If you are under the age of 35, I believe in wearing eye cream once a day - at night to get the cream working while you sleep. Of course if I feel and look tired I sometimes wear eye cream during the day too.
Serum - Serums are water based and contain active ingredients, because of their concentration they are normally the most expensive product in most skin care ranges. I was introduced to a serum about four - five years ago. Before then, I knew nothing about serums. The first serum I used was from the Innoxa range, which is now discontinued in South Africa. I struggled to get a good affordable product after Innoxa so I moved between products, for the most part I didn't wear serum. When I decided to try SkinPhD, I knew I had to get a serum too.
Skin Supplement - SkinPhD offers a range of skin supplements, I opted for the pigmentation perfect supplement because of my uneven skin tone. I've been developing visible unevenness on my forehead. This is the reason I decided to invest in the supplement, to give my skin extra boost of active ingredients and counteract the effects of photo aging and improve my skin texture.
Cream/Moisturiser - Moisturising hydrates the skin, locks in the ingredients which in turn prevents water loss through heat/wind. It is important that your skin maintains its water. Moisturising also help with skin cell regeneration, cells repair themselves quicker when the skin is hydrated and healthy. Finding a good moisturiser is a life mission since your skin is the largest organ and your face is the first thing that people notice / look at. I've had my fair share of creams/ moisturisers that were either too oily or were drying my skin. The consultant at SkinPhD promised that I will not go wrong with their Cellceutic Day Advanced Dermal Moisturiser.
