How to Love Your Skin
Your skin is the body's largest organ. It weighs between two
and four kilos, covers between one and two square metres and
completely renews itself every seven to ten weeks, with
approximately five million dead skin cells rubbing off on a
daily basis.
Your skin reflects your state of health and your biological
age, being soft and smooth when well-cared for, or dry and
flaky when taken for granted.
To be the proud owner of beautiful, soft, young-looking
skin, you need to take care of it. When taking care of your
skin, it's vital that you take care of the part of you that
everybody sees - your face and neck.
The absolute golden rule, before you start using products on
the delicate skin of your face, is to determine your skin
type...
