What Skin Type Are You?

  • Dry Skin Care

  • Dry skin is caused by a low level of sebum (oil) and/or a low level of collagen in the skin. As we age and oil/collagen levels decrease, dryness tends to increase. Fine lines, chapping and, in extreme cases, cracking, are signs of dry, dehydrated skin.

    1. Dry Skin Care Tips

      1. Humidify During winter months, consider investing in a humidifier and placing it in your bedroom. The additional moisture in the air will help your skin condition improve almost immediately.
      2. Ingest Good Oils Dry skin is prone to eczema and other skin conditions. A good preventive measure is to add essential oils to your diet like raw organic butter, cod liver oil, Omega-3 eggs, coconut oil, and fresh cold-water fish.
      3. Cleanse your face well as a buildup of dead skin cells can keep beneficial products from being effective and pores can get clogged. Use a gentle foaming, non-drying cleanser (such as Cloud 9 Cleanser) or milky cleanser with water and a cloth once or twice a day. Make sure you wash makeup off at night so your skin can breathe.
      4. Add a moisture-drawing serum (such as Swiss Collagen Fluid) and moisturizer after cleansing your skin. This will help your skin hold more moisture in each skin cell and decrease the need for heavy creams.
      5. In winter, air is drier and you may need to increase the intensity of your moisturizer to protect surface skin. If your skin is tight and dry 5-10 minutes after moisturizing, you can substitute your night cream during the day to compensate.

  • Combination Skin Care

  • Do you have over-productive oil glands in your forehead, nose and chin area? Are the pores in this oily "T" zone larger than the outer areas of your face? You have "combination" skin. The good news is this skin type is generally slower to show fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. The downside can be more frequent breakouts, large pores and a greasy appearance. The following steps can minimize the negative effects.

    1. Combination Skin Care Tips

      1. Stick with the basics The experts suggest cleansing your face 2x daily with a foaming cleanser and water. Make sure you use a clean wash cloth each time you cleanse.
      2. Follow the recommendations of dermatologists and shower or bathe in warm rather than steaming-hot water. Hot water can strip your skin of needed moisture, while cold water can shock your skin.
      3. Avoid using cleansers that tend to overdry skin. This paradoxically causes your skin to produce even more oil than usual.
      4. Don't neglect moisturizer but choose a light, daytime moisturizer (such as Perfect Balance) or moisturizing sunscreen that won't clog pores (such as Collagen Solar Spray).
      5. If you have break-outs make sure you are only touching your face with clean hands. Change your pillowcase more frequently, as a pimple occurs when bacteria interracts with oil in the pore.

  • Oily Skin Care

  • Do you have overproductive sebaceous glands, which are responsible for oily skin? The good news is this skin type is generally slower to show fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. The downside can be more frequent breakouts, large pores and a greasy appearance. The following steps can minimize the negative effects.

    1. Oily Skin Care Tips

      1. Stick with the basics The experts suggest cleansing your face two or three times daily with a top-quality foaming cleanser with soothing rather than irritating, drying ingredients. Drying cleansers can actually cause skin to produce even more oil. Pack a premoistened cleansing pad if you won't be around a water basin throughout the day.
      2. Make sure you use a clean wash cloth each time you cleanse.
      3. Look for tea in the ingredients such as African Redbush Tea (rooibos) or Green Tea, as they are full of antioxidants. African Redbush has been shown in studies to improve skin in chronic acne sufferers (see our article on Redbush Tea)(link)
      4. Use a "spot" product on acne break-outs that has salcylic acid or benzyl peroxide to kill bacteria and dry up the infected area.
      5. Water-based sunscreen (such as Collagen Solar Spray) is a must during sun exposure, as the UV radiation can discolor irritated or broken-out skin.
      6. Hormones, heat and heredity all play a part in acneic skin, and you may need the help of a professional to combat this problem.

  • Sensitive Skin Care

  • Do you have a hard time finding skincare and makeup products that don't irritate your skin? Do you have allergies to fragrance and specific ingredients? You have sensitive skin. While it is less common for olive, dark and oily skin to be sensitive, this condition spans all skin types and colors.

    1. Sensitive Skin Care Tips

      1. Look for a cleanser that has soothing, natural ingredients and no fragrance, plus low amounts of preservative (such as Cloud 9 Cleanser)
      2. Hypoallergenic is a term that is used often to describe products with a low degree of allergic tendency, but there is no regulation over the use of this term, so read the labels carefully. Ask questions as often as you need to (see "ask the expert").
      3. UV radiation from the sun and heat can increase sensitivity. Protect your skin with an SPF of 20 -30.(more than 30 is not necessary, as the SPF benefits plateau at higher numbers and you are putting more chemicals on your face than needed.) Wearing a hat and long sleeves can provide additional protection in periods of extended sun exposure.
      4. Test products on the inner forearm or behind the ear, where skin is most sensitive. It will tell you within 24 hrs if you are having an allergic reaction to a particular product. Make sure you purchase products with a money back guarantee.

  • Normal Skin Care

  • Your skin is the easiest of all to care for. With light but even oil production and low sensitivity, you can experience good skin condition for many years. Stick with a regular skincare routine and light products that don't clog the pores.

    1. Normal Skin Care Tips

      1. The experts suggest cleansing your face two times daily with a good foaming cleanser and water. Make sure it is not too drying and leaves skin feeling soft and clean (such as Cloud 9 Cleanser & Chamois). Regular soap can leave a residue which builds up on the skin, causing pores to clog.
      2. Use only noncomedogenic moisturizers and sunscreen products (this means they're oil-free and won't clog pores). Adjust moisturizers to conditions such as weather (i.e., hot weather, lighter moisturizer) and body changes (age, hormones, etc.)
      3. Protect your skin from the aging effects of the sun. Wear a good sunscreen every day, no matter what the weather. Solar UV radiation is responsible for approximately 80-90% of skin's aging, according to the experts. Stay away from heavy sun blocks for everyday use.
      4. The eye area is especially delicate and has thinner skin than the rest of the face. Use a special gel or serum moisturizer designed specifically for the eye area, one that feels light and can be applied under eye makeup without creasing or smearing throughout the day (such as Eye Therapy Gel and Swiss Collagen Fluid).

The Pure & Simple Story

Ask The Expert

How long will it be before I see results when I use Pure & Simple Skincare?

Response time varies with your skin type, condition, age and consistency of use, but the guideline is approximately 2 weeks of faithful use to see real results. The Swiss Collagen Fluid can often produce visual results much faster than this. Best results are achieved with faithful use of the products 2 times daily.

How do I know what products I need?

We have provided guidelines to help you determine your skin type and choose the products that will be best suited to your skin type.

What if I have a special skin condition like rosacea or eczema?

As with any medical skin condition, it is always best to check with your dermatologist or doctor before starting a new skincare routine. I recommend taking the products to your doctor and getting approval, or have your doctor look at our website. You or your doctor can always contact Sally Peoples through our Ask the Expert Direct Help line (link here). Rosacea manifests in various ways, but the anti-inflammatory benefits of African Redbush Tea, found in many of our products, have been found in in-vivo studies to reduce redness and irritation associated with Rosacea. (link to African Redbush page).

I have very sensitive skin. Will my skin break out when using Pure & Simple skincare?

Our skincare products have been designed with sensitive skin in mind, so you are less likely* to react to Pure & Simple products than other OTC products you have tried. Note: If you have specific skin allergies to certain ingredients, read the back of the label before applying ANY skin product, whether skincare, sunscreen or makeup. It will tell you whether to go ahead with the product or not. Additionally, you can test a product for 24 hours on your inner arm between wrist and elbow, or behind your ear where skin is even more sensitive. Any stinging, burning or itching means you should not use that product on your skin. Return it for a full refund.

I have extensive sun damage to my face and lots of deep lines and wrinkles. What will help me look my best without resorting to injections or surgery?

Skin that has been overexposed to the UV radiation of the sun will always age much faster, as the rays destroy the skin's own collagen and elastin. That's why our collagen-rich products are so effective to help skin hold moisture and restore vital collagen supplies to the epidermis. The Swiss Collagen Fluid, Microderm Exfoliation Cream, Collagen Infusion Mask and Eye Therapy Gel will be your best friends to help restore plumpness, softness and glow to the skin. The Cloud 9 Cleansing System and Collagen Solar Spray used daily will properly cleanse and protect the skin to prevent further damage. Also, wearing long sleeves whenever possible, a large-brimmed hat and other protective garments can minimize further damage from the sun.

What is collagen?

Collagen is the protein in our skin cells, and is responsible for working with elastin to hold moisture in the cells. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, resulting in dry skin, sagging and eventually wrinkling. In nature, mammals have fairly similar collagen molecular structure, so the top source of collagen for medical use and injections is derived from mammals. Using "marine" (from the sea) or "phyto" (from plants) collagens may not produce as effective a result as they are not as able to mimic our own collagen. Swiss Collagen Fluid uses patented-process micronized soluble collagen to help skin retain elasticity and moisture at the cellular level, producing younger-behaving skin over time. It is the most intense daily collagen treatment available.

I've seen a remarkable improvement in my wife's complexion and now I would like to try Pure & Simple. Are these products suitable for men?

Because it contains no added perfume or fragrance, our skincare has been well-received by our male clientele. The classic packaging and fresh, light consistency make it very "gender-friendly" for men wanting a healthy complexion. Water-based ingredients make the products ideal for an oily skin, and it is easy to take to the gym or to outdoor activities. Golfers, Tennis players, skiers and hikers have all been using Pure & Simple for years.
