Skin, Hair & Nails

Skin and hair respond slowly and to consistency rather than intensity. Most disappointment here comes from changing products every fortnight and from skipping sunscreen.

What actually helps
  • One new active at a time, given twelve weeks.
  • Daily sunscreen, without which pigmentation treatment will not hold.
  • Treating the scalp for most hair complaints.
  • A barrier that is intact — nothing else works on skin that is irritated.
