Just add water.
Does your skin look dull, flaky and dry? Drink more water. Is it feeling tight and uncomfortable? Drink more water. Have the lines around your eyes suddenly turned into crevasses overnight? DRINK MORE WATER!

Vitamin C is probably most well know as an antioxidant, but it also has a marked effect on collagen production, helps reduce pigmentation and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Corneotherapy is a treatment concept that aims to help repair and maintain the outermost horny layer of the skin (the stratum corneum), which will in turn improve the skin’s barrier function and following that it’s overall homeostasis. Think of the stratum corneum like the roof of a house – if the roof is damaged and letting in the elements, there is no point doing repair work to the rooms below until that is fixed.
