Expert Answers To Your Skincare Needs
Skincare can be overwhelming, when browsing through countless products, routines, and advice. But we are here to help! In this blog series, we have teamed up with our trusted Skin Wellness Consultant, Shenuka Fernando to dive into real skincare concerns, provide expert advice, and share tips to help you achieve healthy, glowing skin.
Question: Can you select a good cream for my skin?
I don't know what my skin type is. How can I know that?
Answer: If you are unsure about your skin type, you first need to do a consultation. At Spa Ceylon we provide free skincare consultations, where you can speak to our wellness experts to get the best advice for your skin.
How to identify your skin type:
Next, to identify your skin type, you need to do a skin test. Wash your face with a Face Wash before bedtime, and leave face without products overnight. In the morning, take a tissue and press onto your skin and observe. If you see oil patches, you have oily skin. But if only your T-Zone is oily, you have combination skin. If the tissue falls off your face, dry skin is what you have, while red or pink areas around your cheek and nose area would mean you have sensitive skin. If there are wrinkles, and fine lines on your face, you have mature skin. Finally, if your skin is slightly damp and looks fresh, after the skin test, you have hydrated and healthy normal skin.
How to select a Day Cream to suit your skin type:
After identifying your skin type, you can start using a day cream that is suitable for you. If you are using any product for the first time, we always recommend that you first do a patch test. Here’s a list of Spa Ceylon recommendations for day creams, both for your skin type and age group:
- White Jasmine - Normal to Dry Skin (16 to 25 years)
- White Rice - Normal to Dry Sensitive (30+ years)
- Lotus & Rambutan - especially for Sensitive Skin, suitable for all skin types
- Sal & Saffron - Dry, Dehydrated Skin True Turmeric - Normal to Dry Skin
- Frankincense for Men - Normal to Dry Skin
- Neem & Tea Tree - Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
97% skin damage happens from the sun, which means your day cream or day moisturizer needs to be followed by sunscreen. Spa Ceylon day creams are infused with SPF, so you can get the essential nourishment and hydration for your skin, along with sun protection, with one product.
Question: I have dark marks around my eyes. Any good cream?
Answer: Selecting suitable products for the skin around and under your eyes depends on your age and lifestyle. If you are a younger person who has dark circles due to studying, or regular online browsing, you can use the Spa Ceylon White Sandal Soothing Eye Serum. This serum helps to cool the skin around the eyes, offering soothing nourishment.
If you have more permanent dark circles with pigmented skin, and a few fine lines around your eyes, we recommend the White Rice Intensive Under Eye Treatment Concentrate, which is best for tired under-eyes with puffiness, dull tone and discolouration around the eyes. This product has a smooth texture, and can be used during both day and night. Ideal for night time; to be applied before bedtime on cleansed skin.
For dry under-eyes with wrinkles and fine lines, our recommendation is the Sal & Saffron Eye Zone Day & Night Treatment Concentrate. This is a powerful, and effective treatment infused with nourishing Sal butter, and Saffron, rich in Vitamin E, to soothe and protect the skin around as well as under the eyes, while defending against visible signs of skin aging.
Question: I have pimples. What's the best cream you have to reduce marks and clear my skin?
Answer: Pimples are a symptom of acne, and often caused by excess oil on your skin, so it is recommended to not use a cream until your acne clears out. If you have acne and oily skin, you need to cleanse your face and control oil.
We recommend you use the Spa Ceylon White Mint Facial Cleansing Foam to cleanse your face thoroughly both day and night. At night before bedtime, after cleansing your face, apply the Spa Ceylon Neem & Tea Tree Overnight Treatment Masque. It is a gel-like masque that helps to cure and soothe pimples.
