Kyoku’s Skincare Tips

285368_1After cleansing you should use an exfoliating scrub on the skin. This allows for a much deeper cleansing experience, as it works deep down to cleanse pores, in turn this will aid in removing blackheads as well as the top layer of dead skin cells that can leave your skin dry and uninspiring.

The Exfoliating Facial Scrub from Kyoku contains an array of ingredients such as volcanic ash, this particular element works to remove surplus oils and poisons from the skin, while both the added extracts of Japanese Adzuki bean and walnut shells work to gently exfoliate and remove any dead and unsightly skin cells that appear on the surface of the skin. The exfoliating scrub will also combat ingrown hairs as these can clog pores, leaving your skin looking more youthful with a vibrant appearance.

The skin is 70% water so it is therefore extremely important to maintain this water content but when exposed daily to the sun, wind and pollution, your skin can become dry, causing a decrease in collagen which in turn alters the connective tissues that present suppleness and firmness to the skin, causing unsightly wrinkles and fine lines.

The two standard ways of hydrating your skin includes keeping water levels high and applying a good moisturizing cream daily in order to restore vivacity.

Kyoku’s Facial Moisturiser is an all-in-one everyday moisturiser that houses UV protection with an SPF 15. It also contains a variety of skin-friendly antioxidants in the shape of bamboo and pea extract. Both these elements help to promote anti-ageing, whilst the added sunflower oil hydrates, avocado oil smoothes and a patented Micro-Particle delivery mechanism ensures each of these active ingredients enters deep into the male dermal coating.
