What kind of care and protection does my skin need?
For proper skincare, ascertaining your skin type is essential, only by doing so can we choose what type of care we need. Here are some guidelines and tips for daily maintenance at home.
Combination skin
On the forehead, nose and chin (the T-zone of the face), skin shines and is oily, but in other areas of the face it is dry and tight.
Morning
For combination skin proper and thorough cleaning is essential to prevent blackheads. In the morning cleanse the skin with the Pruina Melisa Cleanser with well-soaked cotton, making gentle circular motions on the face, neck, décolleté and finally cleanse the nape of the neck in relaxed fashion, since this is where grime and tension are accumulated.
After cleansing, spray face and neck with Benzoin and Rose Water. Use this floral water at any time during the day to refresh your face. Then apply about a hazel-nut amount of Melisa Moisturizing Cream, spreading it on the palm of the hands and apply to face, neck and nape of neck gently. Extracts of melisa, chamomile and rosemary balance and hydrate your face.
Night
At night cleanse the skin with the Pruina Melisa Cleanser with a well-soaked cotton disc, making gentle circular motions on the face, neck, décolleté and finally cleanse the nape of the neck. After cleansing, spray face and neck with Benzoin and Rose Water.
Then apply about a hazel-nut amount of Melisa Moisturizing Cream, spreading it on the palm of the hands and apply to face, neck and nape of neck gently. On hot summer days, when your skin perspires more or becomes oilier, you can stop using the cream at night and finish the treatment with floral water.
Complementary treatment
In addition to daily facial cleansing, deeper cleansing is also essential, to restore and maintain skin balance. The Marine Facial Peeling and Tea Tree Purifying Mask are two products ideal for intensive care, as they remove dead skin cells and refine pores.
Once a week we recommend gentle and natural exfoliation with Marine Facial Peeling. Mix a teaspoon with Benzoin and Rose Water until a texture is obtained that is neither too thin nor too thick. Apply Marine Facial Peeling after cleansing skin with Pruina Melisa Cleanser, working face, neck and décolleté gently, without rubbing for about three minutes. Remove with warm water and then cleanse again with Pruina, until the cotton pad is completely clean.
Then apply a thick layer of Tea Tree Purifying Mask to the face, neck and décolleté, leave on for 20 minutes. For the mask to work properly you must stretch out and relax. Take a break, read book, listen to some music or simply unwind. Remove the remains of the mask with water and the aid of a sponge or facecloth. When skin is completely clean, spray face with Benzoin and Rose Water.
Apply Marine Facial Peeling and Tea Tree Purifying Mask once a week and your skin will become smoother and tauter.
Oily skin
Thick skin with a shiny tone due to excess oil. Skin is poorly irrigated, giving it a pale aspect with large pores. Secretes too much oil and often with pimples and blackheads.
Morning
For oily or acne prone skin, proper and thorough cleaning is essential to prevent blackheads or pimples. In the morning cleanse the skin with Pruina Cypress Cleanser with a well-soaked cotton, making gentle circular motions on the face, neck, décolleté and finally cleanse the nape of the neck in a relaxed fashion, since this is where grime and tension are accumulated. It is very important not to squeeze the pimples as they will form a cyst and appear again.
After cleansing, spray face and neck with Benzoin and Rose Water. You can use this floral water at any time during the day to refresh your face. Then apply about a hazel-nut amount of Cypress Moisturizing Cream, spreading it on the palm of the hands and applying to face, neck and nape of neck gently. Melisa and chamomile extracts soothe your skin.
Night
At night cleanse the skin with the Pruina Cypress Cleanser with a well-soaked cotton disc, making gentle circular motions on the face, neck, décolleté and finally cleanse the nape of the neck. After cleansing, spray face and neck with Benzoin and Rose Water to complete treatment. At night, cream is not required as skin is sufficiently protected and nourished with Pruina and floral water.

Skin blemishes
Skin blemishes can be caused by excessive sun exposure. Blemishes are very common in older people and they look more irregular and larger than freckles. Blemishes that can occur during pregnancy due to a hormonal disorder are light coloured blemishes. These appear on the forehead or cheeks and the chest.
Morning
In the morning cleanse the skin with Pruina Heather Cleanser with well-soaked cotton, making gentle circular motions on the face, neck, décolleté and finally cleanse the nape of the neck in a relaxed fashion, since this is where grime and tension are accumulated.
After cleansing, spray face and neck with Benzoin and Rose Water. You can use this floral water at any time during the day to freshen up.
Then apply a generous amount of Calendula Photo Protector Cream, extending into the palms of the hands and applying on the face, neck and nape of the neck. To prevent these spots from spring onwards you should use a total sunblock as a base cream and avoid excessive sun exposure. Calendula Photo Protector Cream is a natural self tanner with medium sun protection.
Night
At night cleanse the skin with the Pruina Heather Cleanser with a well-soaked cotton disc, making gentle circular motions on the face, neck, décolleté and the nape of the neck. After cleansing, spray face and neck with Benzoin and Rose Water.

The Marine Facial Peeling, the Tea Tree Purifying Mask, and the Chamomile Calming Mask are three products ideal for intensive care, as they remove dead skin cells, absorb grime and refine pores.
Twice a week we recommend gentle and natural exfoliation with Marine Facial Peeling. Mix a teaspoon with Benzoin and Rose Water until a texture is obtained that is not too thick or too thin.

Now your skin is well prepared to absorb the specific properties of each mask. If you have combination skin or oily, we recommend the Tea Tree Purifying Mask to help remove impurities. If you have dry and sensitive skin you should use Chamomile Calming Mask to soothe and strengthen the epidermis. Then apply a thick layer of the chosen mask to the face, neck and décolleté, leave on for 20 minutes. For the mask to work properly you must stretch out and relax. Take a break, read book, listen to some music or simply unwind. Remove the remains of the mask with water and the aid of a sponge or facecloth. When skin is completely clean spray face with Benzoin and Rose Water.
Apply Marine Facial Peeling (twice a week) and the appropriate mask for your skin type (once per week) regularly, and your skin will regain a uniform appearance.
