FAB TIPS:

Wash your face before bed! This is especially important for people with rosacea. Let your skin air dry before applying topical treatment, such as FAB Anti-Redness Serum, at night.

The outdoor elements: sun, heat, humidity, wind, and cold may aggravate rosacea for many. Be sure to use your SPF, stay cool and dry in the heat and humidity, and protect your face from the wind and cold. Try FAB Daily Face Cream as a gentle daily moisturizer - it's fragrance free so it will moisturize without irritating your skin.

A smart choice for men with rosacea is an electric shaver, which is less irritating than a blade. FAB Anti-Redness serum is the perfect post-shaving solution for men with rosacea or sensitive skin. It reduces redness due to shaving while soothing the skin.

Be gentle with your face! If you experience facial redness, avoid rough washcloths, loofahs, brushes or sponges as they lead to further irritation.

You should wash your face twice a day, right? Not always! For dry, sensitive skin, it's best to wash with a gentle cleanser at night and simply rinse in the morning. For oily or acne prone skin, you may need to wash several times a day with a gentle cleanser. Our FAB Face Cleanser is gentle and effective for all skin types, no matter how often you need to cleanse.

All skin needs a little exfoliation. Otherwise dead cells sitting on top of your skin can cause it to look dull and uneven and may even lead to acne. Further, dead cells create a barrier on top of your skin, so your product won't be able to penetrate to get to where it needs to go! Exfoliate your face and body regularly to maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Often confused with acne, Keratosis Pilaris appears as small, hard bumps on the back of the arms.  It affects 50% of the population, although these bumps will not disappear on their own, the condition responds well to the combination of exfoliation and intense moisturization.  Cleanse and exfoliate the area on a daily basis with gentle products, and avoid vigorous scrubbing, as this will only lead to more irritation.  Hydrate to lock in moisture and relieve irritation - FAB Ultra Repair Cream is perfect for this critical step!  Start now and you will have smooth, silky arms in time to dawn your short-sleeved spring frocks.
