DRY, SCALY OR ITCHY SKIN
The appearance of dryness is a result of rough, fine scaling skin. Dry skin is made worse in the colder winter months when wind and extreme temperatures can lead to severely dehydrated skin. This condition responds well to a gentle cleansing regimen combined with the use of products that provide barrier protection and deep hydration.

SENSITIVE SKIN
The first step to fighting sensitive or "reactive' skin is to prevent flares in the first place. Sensitive skin types should avoid harsh chemicals and irritant products that can trigger prolonged outbreaks. Top offenders commonly found in skincare products include propylene glycol, phthalates, fragrance and alcohol.

UNDEREYE PUFFINESS & DARK CIRCLES
Fat deposits around our eyes help protect them. Over time, fat collections migrate downward resulting in a sagged appearance. The skin in this area is so thin that it cannot mask the dark veneous blood just beneath the skin's surface. A lack of sleep or poor hydration can also lead to undereye puffiness.

ACNE
Acne results when sebaceous glands that lie beneath the skin's surface become clogged with "sebum," an oily secretion that usually helps to keep skin healthy. When this occurs, bacteria can multiply, causing a pimple on the skin's surface. Light to moderate acne can be controlled effectively with over-the-counter treatments.

FACIAL REDNESS
Facial redness is frequently caused by rosacea, a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, pimples and thickened skin. Facial redness may occur without carrying a diagnosis of rosacea, for example, in individuals with “ruddy” complexion or sensitive or excessively dry skin.

ECZEMA, DERMATITIS
Eczema just means inflamed skin! There are myriad causes for inflamed skin, ranging from severe dryness to poison ivy. The treatment of eczema/atopic dermatitis requires a gentle cleansing regimen along with the application of products that will provide barrier protection and heal and protect inflamed skin.

BITES, RASHES & ALLERGIC REACTIONS
Insect bites are an unpleasant fact of life and often manifest as itchy, red bumps on the skin. Rashes and allergic reactions are a result of contact dermatitis. Typically, a contact dermatitis reaction can take several days to weeks to heal if left untreated. These conditions respond well to topical, over-the-counter hydrocortisone treatments.
