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.

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.

Natural skin care is the current ‘buzz word’, as many natural remedies appear to be out performing the man-made alternatives. As with any other natural beauty products, the old adage “you get what you pay for” applies literally in this case.

If you’re spending very little, you are almost certainly getting a watered down or poorly manufactured version of the primary natural ingredient. This is important as you are likely to be seeking to receive the benefits of a skin repair remedy. Natural skin care products must contain a high enough concentration and quality of the essential nutrients, vitamins or compounds in order to have the desired effect. Basically, don’t spend more than you can afford, but make your money stretch to the limit.

One of the key elements that I look for in a skin care product is high quantities of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to protect the skin from harmful sun light damage, and in some cases, can help to reverse the effects. It is the only antioxidant that has been proved to have a positive effect on the production and synthesis of skin collagen.

To give you an idea of what to concentrate on, here is a summary of a few of the most potent natural skin care products focusing on my favourites Gatineau and Equavie. Some can be taken orally as skin supplements, while others can be applied topically. The complete ranges are one of the most powerful skin repairing agents available on today’s market. You may find it hard to believe the difference these products can make to your skin tone, clarity and firmness. I have also noticed an effect on the reduction of lines and wrinkles that are the bane of most women’s lives. I am also amazed that these products can be made from nature’s own store, and include plant and marine extracts.
