The skin is the body's largest organ. It is naturally designed to hold water in it's outermost layer. Healthy skin contains in general
15-20 percent water and 10-30 percent lipids (comprised of cholesterol, triglycerides and fatty acids). They keep the skin hydrated
and help with elasticity.
As winter approaches the skin is bombarded with drying agents such as central heating, the cold, wind and partying. All this results in skin that becomes parched, dehydrated and irritated. It is at this point that it is worth switching to a richer day moisturiser that will protect the skin and help prevent moisture loss.
Restoring lipid balance is vital and this should be tackled both internally via EFA + B Complex Capsules and topically via application of lipid rich cream such as Ultra Dry Skin Cream which contains Rose Hip Oil and Evening Primrose or Double Rose Ultra.
Double Rose Ultra was designed to nourish and hydrate the skin with extracts of Calendula (to repair), Rose (to soothe irritation), Evening Primrose (to nourish) and Rose Hip (antioxidant and rich in essential fatty acids). Essential Fatty Acids are especially important in the winter months to keep the skin supple and moist and to help keep moisture in.

Winter Skin Savers:
Mix with two drops of Antioxidant Serum and apply every morning, it also makes the perfect moisturiser during the ski season.

Perfect to moisturise dry irritated patches including hands and feet throughout the winter months. Look out for the newly packaged Ultra Dry Skin Cream, on our counters soon...Tip:
Remember dry skin needs water too - spritz on your Rose Facial Spritz and drink at least 6 – 8 glasses of water every day.
