About SKIN
Queenbeauty Natural COSMECEUTICALS and organic products to give your skin a stunning glow in the best way possible. Before starting the treatment, we make sure we’re offering the right facial for your skin type. If you’re unsure of your skin type, here is a brief way to figure it out: Oily – Are you experiencing greasiness and a shiny forehead by lunchtime? If this is the case, you have an oily skin type. This type is also characterised by large pores and frequent breakouts. Dry – Are you experiencing flakiness, dullness, or signs of aging? If so, you have dry skin. This involves small pores and a need for products with deep moisturising and nourishing ingredients. Normal – If you have this skin type, you’re very fortunate. You don’t experience any real issues. In fact, your complexion is usually vibrant with little to no acne. Combination – The t-zone consists of your chin, nose, and forehead. When your t-zone is oily and cheeks are dry, you have combination skin. Then, of course, we keep in mind aging, acne, and sensitive skin. If you have a skin condition, it’s important you let us know. That way, we can take appropriate measures and give you a beautiful, younger looking appearance. Whatever your skin type, we’re more than happy to offer you tips and tricks to treat your problem areas
Slather on an Antioxidant Serum
While most summertime products get swapped out come winter, serums are the one exception to that rule. “As long as it’s alcohol-free, an antioxidant serum is perfect for year-round usage,” says Patricia No matter the climate, skin “gets attacked by free radicals,” she explains, causing sun spots, the breakdown of collagen, and premature fine lines. To prevent the damage, apply a vitamin C formula as a first layer in the morning, before layering on heavier products. And don’t forget the sunscreen—a daily dose of SPF 50 will keep skin covered, even on cold, cloudy days.
Switch to a Heavy Face Cream
Perhaps one of the most important and commonly overlooked steps in the dry skin game is changing to a seriously hydrating moisturizer. “Look for creams, rather than lotions, that are made with ceramides and hyaluronic acid,”Patricia says. Ceramides aid in the prevention of the skin’s barrier, which is “easily broken down during the winter.” For patients with severely chapped faces, pack on a hefty amount of product, she says, morning and night.
