SKIN ESSENTIALS BY MARIGA HOMECARE ROUTINE:
 
One of the most common things I hear in the salon on a day-to-day basis is that women think they haven't got the time to keep up a regular skincare routine at home. I don't know where the idea got started that it is a time-consuming chore but I'm here to tell you it's not so! Of course, if you have the time and enjoy pampering yourself, go for it and take as long as you like luxuriating in your bathroom of an evening but for everyone else here is a simple routine that takes about 1 minute in the morning and all of 3 minutes at night:
 
 
 
 
Evening Routine: 
1.Cleanse your face by applying your cleanser all over to dry skin, emulsify with warm water and remove with a facecloth or muslin cloth.
2.Apply a treatment serum for your skin type.
3.Apply a hydrating night cream if your skin is dry or treatment cream if recommended.
(I like to brush my teeth between step 2 and 3 to give the serum extra time to absorb)
 
 
Morning Routine:
No need to cleanse again unless you have oily skin, a rinse with warm water will do.
Apply your recommended treatment serum.
Apply moisturiser with a high SPF.
 
That's it, all you need to keep your skin in top condition, provided of course that you are using the correct products for your skin in the first place.

''Space Age Serum'' Great Value?

A skincare article from the Daily Mail website (link below) caught my eye today. Apparantly there is a new serum utilising 'EGF' ( Epidermal Growth Factor) on the market. Now, EGF isn't new, in fact it's benefits are well documented and proven. The angle here is that this super-expensive ingredient is being sold in this featured serum for only £125 per 15ml bottle. Isn't that great?
Even better is the fact that EGF is available in the Collagen Support Serum in my Skin Essentials by Mariga range costing you €50 for a 30ml bottle. See how well I look after you. And just in case you're wondering, the Collagen Support Serum contains the required level of EGF necessary to reap the benefits of this great ingredient as well as many other active ingredients that your skin needs to synthesize and maintain collagen. (The only difference is that Skin Essentials does not utilize EGF from plants, we make it in a lab which we think is the purest, safest way.)
Read the article and find out about the benefits of this great active here:
