The eye life

 

My face always looks tired no matter how much sleep I get, and no matter how much water I drink. I have tried High Street shops for facial masks but they either have no discernable effect, leave me with a greasy face or end up leaving me spotty. Any ideas? T Harris

It is a tricky one to answer since everybody’s skin type is different, but with health and beauty products you usually get what you pay for. Don’t get caught out by cheap brands offering the world, which will probably contain nothing but synthetic ingredients that may in fact make your skin condition worse.

Sensitive skins need sensitive treatment and you may have a combination of both oily and dry skin, which is why your skin is reacting this way. You must treat each area carefully using specific products designed to benefit both. You do need a consultation with a therapist to establish your skin’s needs and do try a fresh regime.

Thalgo have the most amazing range of natural products. Carefully chosen, their marine mineral range will give back energy and vitality to the skin without the fear of caustic ingredients doing more harm than good. Our deep cleansing Thalgo Facial for oily or slightly acned skin would rebalance and purify the area. Do remember that acne has many causes and sometimes a visit to your doctor may still be needed. But as I always say, use something that is correct before trying anything else.

The eye area always suffers when you are tired. Dark circles become more apparent and again you more than likely need something like our Gelatine Verbena Eye Treatment, which is designed specifically for this concern and also helps with puffiness around the eye area.

To cleanse from within, Thalgo do have a range of marine supplements that will in turn give the skin a boost.

Ocea Draine for example is a 100 per cent natural formula to cleanse out your system and restore well-being. Thalgo Tonic capsuals may also help, containing vitamin C, B6 and B9 with marine magnesium and ginseng. Remember good skin condition usually comes from within, so do eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

At home, try meditation and do get plenty of sleep, because the poor condition of your skin could be just associated with a stressful life.

Keep up the good work and still drink plenty of water and try the marine algae treatments I’ve suggested... you’ll be impressed, I promise.
