Traditional cosmetics, which are generally mineral oil or water based, often contain preservatives and emulsifiers which can effectively suffocate the skin by clogging pores. In recent years there has been a rise in the availability of specialist make-up products derived from natural minerals which allow the skin to breathe.

Our skin like other body parts is not invincible, when it comes to being susceptible to damage. As it is necessary to get monthly haircuts and weekly manicures as part of your grooming regime it should also be a necessity and not a luxury to take care of the most important organ of your body, the skin.

Dermatologists recommend DAILY use of a broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15, as the most effective way to protect the skin from photodamage - skin ageing caused by exposure to the sun.
