Head to toe dry skin regime

Minimize risk and maximize results with ELAVE Happy. Skin. formulations that work together to deliver top-to-toe solutions

Many factors, extrinsic and intrinsic, play a part in achieving and maintaining healthy skin. As the largest organ in the body, skin plays a key role in protecting us from micro-organisms, dehydration, ultraviolet light and mechanical damage. When the dermal barrier is compromised, it negatively impacts our general good health.

To maintain healthy skin eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit, drink lots of water, avoid alcohol, cigarettes and sunburn, try to manage stress, and get a good night’s sleep. These are simple steps which arm our skin against environmental damage and keep it looking fresh, young and glowing.

At ELAVE Happy. Skin. we believe that how our skin looks and feels affects our
confidence. Healthy skin is happy - and so are you! But what we put on our skin on a daily basis can trigger issues, rather than solve them, especially for people with especially dry, sensitive or eczema-prone Irish skin.

A basic skincare regime should include a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. if you are feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of skincare products on your shelf, it is likely you have too many for them to be effective. Also, contrary to wishful thinking, skincare formulations do not last forever - over time they become ineffective, or can actually cause irritation.

Sticking to the same range is safest for sensitive skin

Sticking to the same stable of products, especially if you have sensitive skin, is the safest choice. Using the same brand of skincare in a top-to-toe regimen is less likely to cause irritation because all the products are designed to work together to produce the best results.

Mixing and matching products raises the risk that some of them may clash, but it
may prove difficult to pinpoint which formula or ingredient is triggering a reaction. In that case, it is better to strip back to basics from the one brand and assess how that is working before adding any other formulas into the mix.

When too many active ingredients are used, skin may become overstimulated and
overwhelmed, making it more difficult to identify and treat specific concerns like
breakouts, fine lines and hyperpigmentation. One visible sign of this is ‘pilling’
where products react against each other, forming tiny particles that lie on top of
the skin rather than soak into it.

All Elave formulations are subject to the same high international standards of
accreditation, meaning they complement each other and work together more
effectively. That is not always the case. For example, retinol and vitamin C
should not be used together and can cause irritation to sensitive skin.
