Hiding under-eye bags?
The main reason you get bags or dark patches under the eyes is lack of sleep, dehydration and too many late nights. The best way to get rid of them is to get plenty of rest, drink lots of water and moisturise regularly under the eye area.
Quick Fix:
a. Use under eye concealer to cover up the dark patches under the eyes. This will give the appearance of freshening up your eyes too.
b. Make yourself a cup of green tea. Leave the tea bag to cool down for 10 minutes. Then lie flat on your back, close your eyes and leave the used tea bag over each eye for 5 minutes. This has a real soothing effect. -
Stop shiny skin?
Do not wash your face with a cleanser more than once a day. Avoid any face wash that gives you the feeling of squeaky clean dry face straight after cleansing. Ideally, avoid all foaming face wash. These get rid of all natural oils from your face and your oil producing glands become overactive and produce more oil than normal to replace the natural oil lost through over-cleansing. This, in turn, makes your face even more oily.
Quick fix:
Use Matifiant anti-shine powder to get rid of any excess shine on your skin surface. -

Relieve dry skin?
Some people have naturally dry skin. The wind, cold air, heating and air conditioners can also dry out the skin.
Quick Fix:
Find a moisturiser suitable for your skin and moisturise your face at least once a day, usually after you’ve washed your face. This will help to soothe your skin, lock in moisture and keep your skin supple. -

Groom, wild eyebrows?
Occasionally trim your eyebrows so they’re not out of control. Try using a small amount of hair wax to keep your eyebrows in shape.
-
Treat pimples/spots?
Yes. Always use a gentle non-foaming cleanser to wash your face with. Avoid harsh ingredients that can flare up your skin. Never scrub your face too hard trying to get rid of spots by over cleaning. For a short period try using a product with Salicylic acid. This can temporarily relieve symptoms of acne although it’s not recommended for long-term use.
Quick fix:
Try using natural products free from ingredients that can cause flare-ups or pimples on the skin.
Why

My skin look dull?
Cleanse your skin at least once a day with a non foaming face wash. Never scrub your face too hard as this will cause more harm than good. Use a daily moisturiser with lots of active botanical extracts to keep your skin well nourished.
Quick fix:
Use Fonteint Hydrating Enhancer to liven up your skin and give you the appearance of naturally even skin tone. -
My skin flares up with red patches?
People are often allergic to an ingredient used in their personal care products and this is why their skin flares up. Avoid all harsh ingredients in skin care products (face wash, moisturiser and shampoo). We have list of harsh ingredients in our about page.
Quick fix:
Always use non-foaming, fragrance free face wash. Use natural skincare products with botanical extracts.
