Ellen’s advice
How to choose
This collection is for skin that feels rough, bumpy or uneven. That happens when dead skin cells build up and don’t shed fast enough, because of slow cell renewal, dehydration, too little exfoliation or a predisposition such as keratosis pilaris. The basis is regular exfoliation and good hydration.
How to choose:
- Exfoliate: a scrub such as PCA Daily Exfoliant, Self Glow Inducing or Mokosh Active Face Scrub, or an exfoliating serum such as Routinely Sunday Exfoliating and PCA Resurfacing Serum.
- Hydrate: PCA Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum, Hydrating Serum or the Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask.
- Skin renewal: a retinol for the evening, such as the PCA Intensive retinol treatments, also available for sensitive skin.
- Body: Dry Skin Relief Bar, PCA Body Therapy, Self Deep Nourishing Body Butter or this is sweet SOS cream.
During the day, always finish with SPF, such as PCA Hydrator Plus SPF30. Not sure what your skin needs? Take the free skin analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
How often can you exfoliate?
A scrub 1 to 2 times a week. A chemical exfoliant such as AHA or BHA can be used more often, but build up slowly: start once a week. Over-exfoliating makes your skin more sensitive and rougher.
What is the difference between a scrub and a chemical exfoliant?
A scrub removes dead skin cells with small grains. A chemical exfoliant such as AHA or BHA loosens them without rubbing and is often gentler for rough or sensitive skin. You can use both, just not on the same day.
What skincare should you choose with psoriasis?
Choose calming, fragrance-free products without alcohol and moisturise every day, even when your skin isn’t itchy. Always have active psoriasis followed up by a dermatologist.
