Are natural products better than commercial ones? Well, there is a matter of preference as well as how your skin reacts to different products. However, an effective skin care regimen is one that is done consistently over time before results will begin to develop.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating 1-3 times per week will help to remove old skin cells, dirt, oil, and leftover products from your skin. This will prepare your skin to absorb all the goodness in the other products.
At Altus Advantage, we have two types of products to exfoliate your skin. We propose a soap for your face, with yogurt and cacao. The lactic acid from the yogurt and the cacao grains will offer a gentle exfoliation, leveraging the properties of the natural products.
For your body, we have individual body scrub bars for one or two uses each, that you rub on your skin. It will lather, exfoliate and moisturize your skin. No need for preservatives, perfect for sensitive skins.
Avoid Constant Sun Exposure and Tanning Beds
In addition to being dangerous where health is concerned, these may also lead to early signs of aging. Everyone loves a suntan, but there is no reason to sacrifice your skin or your health in order to achieve it.
If you are in a position where you need to be in the sun frequently, make sure to wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30. If you do want to look tan, (let’s be honest, who doesn’t?) and a self-tanning lotion.
Before applying the lotion to your entire body, apply it to a small test area just to make sure there is no irritation.
Chapped Lips
If your lips have a tendency to become chapped, using a natural chapstick will help keep lips hydrated and happy. Pro tip: purchase a value pack to always have one handy!
Hydrated Skin=Happy Skin
Dry or cracked skin can be very unbearable. Keep a small container of body butter to moisturize on the go! And make sure to use lotion after bathing, especially on parts where the skin is roughest: elbows, knees, and heels.
