So skincare is outside your normal wheelhouse. A good place to begin is by always listening to your skin. #skinissaying. Hands down it beats what others tell you to do or use. Why? Because skin is pretty darn cool without us. Left to its own devices skin is keeps you protected from the sun, environment, the cold or heat. It makes vitamin D, patches itself up when it takes a knock. Pretty marvellous. It tells you when it’s happy. It tells you when it's not.  It’s your job (or with the help of a skin coach) to work out why when it’s not. Is it down to your genetics, age, health, hormones, the weather or things within your control like your diet, stress levels, lifestyle. One rule to always hold dear is to know that strength solves. Drier skin types have a harder time keeping skin strong, oilier types often weaken skin by stripping it of its strengthening oils. You don’t need a big routine, just something that keeps skin pure, healthy and ingredients that bring it back to balance.
