5. Tips

  • Always introduce active ingredients slowly.

  • Patch-test new products before use, following the product manufacturer's instructions where available.

  • Use sunscreen daily to help protect against UV-related environmental stress and visible signs of premature skin ageing.


More products do not mean better results — consistency is key.
