" I have very dry skin lately, and now it's flaky and it burns. The problem is that I am using a moisturizer for
dry skin and it doesn't seem to help at all..." - Rhonda, Vancouver B.C.

Hi,Rhonda
In order to recommend you the right products that you suppose to use I need to investigate more. I need to
ask you some additional questions
about your skin type and condition. But till then what I think is going on
with your skin right now is that you are extremely dehydrated. You are telling me that you are very dry lately (so
usually that's not one of your concerns). It happens a lot when the weather is cold. It burns because now it's
enough water into your skin right now and gets irritated. Using a richer texture for you treatment moisturizer
won't help at all. You might even break out if you are a combination to oily skin. What you need right now is to
use a water based moisturizer to balance the level of water into your skin. This will calm down your skin as
well.( Recommended product - Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief - Clinique)

" I'm 30 and I'm getting the first signs of aging. My skin has changed a lot lately. I'm getting lines under my
eyes..." - Alice, Vancouver B.C.

Hi,Alice
I've been through  this myself. What you need is to stimulate the collagen and elastin production into your
skin. At the same time you have to wear sun protection all the time (even if it rains), because you have to
prevent the further damage. Unfortunately collagen and elastin production of your skin slows down as the
time goes by. So, you have to help it a little bit. Keep in mind skin around your eyes is very delicate and is the
first area that shows the first signs of aging. You need a very good eye cream to help boost skin's natural
collagen production for a younger look .
