Skin Concern Guide

While conventional skin care products cater to various ‘skin types’ (oily, combination, dry), Skin Creamery sees skin care differently. It’s not a ‘one size fits all’ approach, or that we’ve failed to recognise the individual needs of your uniquely beautiful skin. Rather, we believe that every person’s skin experiences a variety of conditions throughout its life cycle.

A younger, oily skin may become dry later in life, changing over time as a result of many different factors. These influences may be internal factors within the body (including diet, hormones, stress levels, stage of life or exercise regimes) or external environmental factors (such as humidity levels or sun exposure).

We believe that getting back to basics is key to a healthy skin and that – particularly when it comes to skincare – less is definitely more. We use high quality, certified organic ingredients and all our products are cruelty free. But best of all, our products are formulated to be used on any skin type, no matter the stage of its life cycle. In alternating the products used and frequency of use, the Skin Creamery range treats and corrects all skin conditions. So how to understand which products to use and when, for your unique needs?

Open Or Clogged Pores

Blocked pores are caused by sebum (oil produced by our glands in our skin) and pollutants or particles in the environment. They gel over a period and solidifies over time resulting in blackheads and clogged pores. When your pores are blocked, the absorption of skin care products will deteriorate, compounding the problem with acne & breakouts.

Follow cleansing with this toning product which contains essential nutrients necessary for healthy skin. It’s made from a base of rosewater, which helps to balance the skin’s PH levels and has a toning effect. The layer of baobab oil hydrates your skin and adds a protective layer to prevent moisture loss. This should be all that your skin requires as a moisturiser.

Pour a small mound onto your palm or a miniature plate, equal amount of water, mix it into a paste and apply it to your face.
Leave it for a few minutes until dry, and you will feel the tightening effect over your face. That is good sign as it is working.
Dab your face with wet hands to wet your face.
Gently, remember gently, rub in circular motion your face with wet hands.
Voila, you have cleansed, exfoliated and brightened your face. You will discover softer skin texture.
The Facial Cleansing Powder can be used as a deep cleanse exfoliator. It contains bentonite clay which will help remove excess surface oil, while the ground macadamia shell powder provides a deep pore cleansing scrub. You can expect a softer and more supple skin.

*Facial Hydrating Oil
The secret with deep absorption is that your skin cells will be hydrated and sebum production will slow down. At the same time, the skin cells will expand and pores will be minimized. You can even see lesser fine lines on your face.
Here is how you use Facial Hydrating Oil:
Mix two drops of oil and two drops of water onto your palm.
Rub it with both palms and dab onto your face.
If you like how it your pores contract after a week of use, you can use it every morning too before applying Skin Tonic. Do adjust accordingly as long as you feel happy with your skin!
