Making sure you get just the right amount of moisture to your skin is crucial if you want it to look soft and youthful. Gatineau Melatogenine Emulsion moisturizer provides just the perfect amount of moisture which contains a patented youth molecule that is endorsed by as a breakthrough against ageing by top scientists. Gatineau Melatogenine Emulsion moisturiser is exclusive to Gatineau and it is peerless as there is currently nothing on the market that’s comparable.

This cream is specially made to prolong the life of your skin cells as they migrate through their natural life cycle. This life cycle begins at the lower levels of your skin and gradually the cells keep moving up to the surface where they eventually dry up and are shed through the natural exfoliation process.
Gatineau Melatogenine Emulsion prolongs the life of the skin cells near the surface of your skin. These cells are fatter and contain more moisture than your other cells. This means they’re much more like the cells when you were younger in comparison to their present condition.
Gatineau Melatogenine Emulsion protects your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun too. Avoid the eye area when you apply this moisturiser to your face. Apply it to your face and neck in the morning and in the evening.

• Fights against the ageing process by prolonging the life of skin cells as they journey to your skin’s epidermis or outer layer.
• Exfoliates naturally
• Protects against the harmful rays of the sun.

If you have problems with dry skin then you need to give extra care during the winter months. The winter skin care advice tips you are about to read will help you to protect, provide for and nourish your skin during the coldest time of year. You’ll be glad you gave your skin the extra attention it needed during the winter season once the warmer months arrive and you are ready to show some extra skin.
Obtain and maintain healthier, better conditioned skin by following this extensive list of winter skin care advice tips:

1. Hot water strips your skin of natural oils required for proper moisture balance so avoid taking hot showers and baths during the winter.
2. Use gel cleansers instead of foaming cleansers because excessive use can also strip your body of its natural oils.
3. Wash with warm water followed by a cream moisturizer while skin is still damp.
4. Layer your clothing when going out in wintery temperatures. Cold weather dries your skin out faster than when it’s warm.
5. Use a heavier moisturizer like Gatineau Nutriactive Nourishing Day Cream on your hands, feet, knees and elbows
6. Be prepared for extra skin care by carry moisturizing cream with you when you are out.
7. The ingredients to avoid would be those with fragrance oil, alcohol and an other un-natural ingredients or products.
8. If your moisturizer doesn’t contain sunscreen, apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 at minimum. I normally recommend SPF30 or higher but since you are less likely to spend an extended amount of time out doors, SPF15 is sufficient.
9. Upon returning home nightly, after bathing, showering or whatever it is you to do clean up, moisturize! Moisturizing no less than twice daily is recommended during the winter.
10. Bathe in a mixture of milk & honey, oatmeal or add a few drops of almond oil to your bath water.

It is often referred to as ‘oily skin’, and manifests itself with a shiny appearance, accompanied by pimples and open pores. In the worst cases, it can develop into full blown acne, and blight a person for life.

How is excessive sebum produced?

The problem is caused by good old bacteria, which breakdown the sebum into fatty acids, often causing an inflammatory reaction in the follicle (skin pores). The result is that skin pores are then blocked by ‘sticky plugs’ formed by the mixture of dead skin cells, bacteria and sebum, a condition known as a Microcomedone.

How do you reduce sebum production?

To reduce the production of sebum, it is recommended that you follow a cleansing regime that affects both the sebum levels on the skin and within the follicle. Sebum production is a continuous process, and needs to be removed by washing the skin at least twice a day with a quality foaming wash such as the Gatineau Refresh range. It is helpful to wash with a product that is lightly medicated, with at least 2% Salicylic acid, which prevents the formation of plugged pores. The process of gently washing also provides an exfoliation, which is necessary to remove the detritus that builds up during a day. How to apply:

• Gently wet the skin and rub the lotion in with your fingertips for a few minutes, making sure that all the areas of the face are covered, particularly around the sides of the nose.
• Leave for a few minutes, and then rinse with warm water. NOTE: It is important to ensure that the water is warm and not hot as this can have a damaging affect.

Bacteria removal

If your skin condition is particularly bad, it may be wise to consult your doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics. Antibiotics have an anti-inflammatory property and will aid in the destruction of bacteria populations on the skin. Not everyone responds positively to antibiotics, and it may be because there is some dilution of the concentration of the antibiotics in the follicle caused by the excessive build up of sebum. Another reason could be a common bacterial resistance to the antibiotic. Many people advocate the use of Tea tree oil to stop the spread of harmful bacteria, which cannot develop any resistance.
