Terra Firma - BASIC SKINCARE

The best way to keep skin naturally healthy and radiant is often to keep your skincare routine simple. Get back to basics with a cleansing and moisturising regime to revive skin, and maintain its beautiful condition.

• Use a gentle cleanser morning and night to refresh skin and remove dirt and impurities - look for a cleanser that won't disturb the skin's natural pH balance so you don't strip the skin of natural oils

• After cleansing, tone skin with a gentle toner to remove make-up and hidden residues, and complete the job your cleanser starts - your face will become like a fresh canvas, ready for you to nourish and moisturise.

• Use a light moisturiser during the day to keep skin hydrated, and follow this at night with a night cream for more intensive rehydration - applying a heavy moisturiser during the day can weigh skin down, but your skin is more receptive to moisturising at night

• Look for products with natural ingredients like cucumber and chamomile to refresh, soothe and revive skin

• Most importantly, always apply a sunscreen to keep skin protected from the elements
