In Ireland, 8 out of 10 people have Type I and II skin – that is, fine, fair, freckly and sensitive. Winter weather can be particularly harsh on Celtic skin, with temperature fluctuations and cold winds stripping moisture and oil from the skin barrier, drying it even further and leaving it vulnerable to itching, cracking and redness.
In a winter skincare survey carried out by Gardiner Family Apothecary, 7 out of 10 people reported having dry, sensitive and eczema/psoriasis prone skin which needs particular care at this time of year. The Elave Skincare range is ideal for sensitive skin types all year-round, but especially when temperatures dip.

Our winter skincare survey found that 9 out of 10 of those who took part said the most important thing for them is that their face looks good. At this time of year, you can cover up the rest of your body – but your face is always on display and, ironically, is the part of your body most exposed to the elements.

Elave Skin Balancing Cleansing Gel 200mlcontains Manuka honey, vitamin E and camomile to rebalance the skin and protect it from environmental damage.

Elave Sensitive Daily Skin Defence SPF45 50ml is a high UVA & UVB protection in a vitamin-enriched, invisible zinc formula.
One in three people who took part in our survey said that cleansing was an important part of their skincare regime, however many of them had difficulty finding the right cleanser for their skin type and frequently experienced reactions when they tried something new, sparking redness, drying and breakouts.
