3. How do I know if my skin is Normal to Dry?
   
   Normal to Dry skin will have patches where skin cells flake, surface appears dull and fine lines, especially around the eyes and above the lop, are visible. Harsh cleansing, cold weather, indoor heat and arid climate make your skin feel tight and sensitive.

4. How do I know if my skin is Normal to Oily?
   
   Normal to Oily skin will look shinny, especially in the "T-Zone", the nose, chin, centre of forehead and cheeks. These areas have more oil glands than other parts of the face and therefore are a bit oiler and break out more frequently. Pores will be more visible, blemishes are more apparent and your face could be sensitive to harsh cleansers and drying alcohols.

5. What's different about the skin around my eyes?
   
   Skin around the eyes generally lacks oil and sweat glands. That's why you need to provide this area with moisture in order to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But not just any moisturizer will do, as heavy moisturizers can clog delicate skin.
   
   Smoking, sun damage and use of contact lenses may add stress to delicate eye skin. Allergies, stress or fatigue may also contribute to under-eye puffiness.

6. What is the difference between Eye Gel and Eye Cream?
   
   An eye gel is generally used during the day to help revive the under eye area. They provide a wonderful cooling effect that instantly refreshes and energizes the delicate skin around the eye area. Eye gels also help reduce under eye puffiness. As eye cream can be used during the day or night but generally is applied at bedtime. Richer in texture than an eye gel, eye creams provide extra moisture and vitamins top eye area. Skin around the eyes lack oil and sweat glands so it is imperative to provide adequate moisture to avoid the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
    

   	Day NouriFusion MultiVitamin Eye Gel can be used by all skin type during the day to revive the under eye area. It provides a wonderful cooking sensation and uses Eyeliss™ skin technology and cucumber extract to help reduce under-eye puffiness.
   	Night NouriFusion MultiVitamin Eye Cream has a rich texture and can be used by all skin types at night or before bedtime. Though many people use the eye cream at night, it can be used during the day, under foundation, or over the eye gel for extra hydration. Use it in addition to MultiVitamin Eye Gel to ensure your skin receives the moisture it needs.

7. Why is using Night Cream important?
   
   Never go to bed without applying Night Cream! Skin cells replace themselves faster than any other cells in the body. The peak hours for cell reproduction occur while you are sleeping, between midnight and 4:00am. It is during this time when your body repairs the damage that was done during the day. Because this is when new cells are born, it is imperative to use a night cream that is enriched with vitamins and nutrients to facilitate healthy cell renewal.
    

   Night MultiVitamin Night Cream's vitamins and nutrients facilitate healthy skin renewal. Use it every night to provide gentle moisture for the skin, leaving your face looking soft and feeling healthy and refreshed each morning.

8. Why do I need to exfoliate?
   
   Everyone exfoliates naturally. In fact, we lose about a million skin cells every minute. Using an Exfoliating Scrub helps this process along. Teenagers completely regenerate their skin every 14 days. But by age 40, the rate of turnover has slowed to every 30-40 days, resulting in dry, ashy or mottled-looking skin. Proper exfoliation reduces the time cell sites on the surface. The scrubbing particles slough off the dry, dead cells and bring the newer skin cells to the forefront, giving us a healthier and more vibrant complexion.
    

   One to three times a week Use NouriFusion MultiVitamin Exfoliating Scrub with raspberry and strawberry seeds to exfoliate, and jojoba beads to polish, one to three times a week for soft beautiful-looking skin. The scrubbing particles slough off dry, dead skin cells, bringing newer skin cells to the surface for a healthier and more vibrant complexion.

9. Why use a Mask?
   
   Masks accelerate cleansing, toning and moisturizing in one easy step. They add moisture or absorb oils from the skin depending on the type of mask. They help to refine the appearance of pores, dissolve impurities and tone the skin. The result is a soft, smooth complexion with improved texture and tone. It is a good idea to always follow your mask with a moisturizer or night cream to help maintain a good moisture balance.
    

   	One to three times a week You'll love the rich feel and whipped texture of gentle, comforting MultiVitamin Moisture Mask on your face as it softens and smoothes. Use weekly when your skin feels dry to help restore luster.
   	One to three times a week MultiVitamin Clarifying Mask deeply cleans skin to absorb impurities that can leave skin looking dull. When your skin feels a little oily or thick, use this light clay mask. It dries slowly and rinses easily to leave clear, brilliant-looking skin.

10. What influences Skin Type?
    
    Outside factors influence the way your skin looks and feels. Internal factors include: Your diet, hormonal change like pregnancy, menopause and menstrual cycle, health problems such as rosacea, psoriasis and thyroid disorders, smoking and medications. External Factors include: The climate or weather, your skin-care routine; over moisturizing or over exfoliating, using irritating or drying products, not using any products at all.

11. Will my skin type change?
    
    Your skin is in a constant state of change and can be very temperamental. It can fluctuate with the changing of the seasons, when work becomes stressful, or when your body experiences hormonal or weight fluctuations. Even those with perfect complexions go through phases of having oily, dry or blemish-prone skin. During winter months, you may need more moisturization to combat increase dryness in the air. Less moisturization may be needed when months are more humid and warm. It is important to periodically evaluate your skin care routine to be sure your skin in getting what it needs.

12. Does your skin colour or ethnicity affect skin care?
    
    All skin us subject to a range of problems, regardless of skin colour or ethnic background. Whether it is dry or oily skin that has blemishes, scaring, wrinkles, discolourations, sensitivity, and even risk of sun damage, all men and women share similar issues. Everyone can and will benefit from a good skincare regimen.

13. Why should I use SPF products?
    
    80% of sun damage to the skin occurs before the age of 18. Over 90% of the visible signs of aging are result of environment or sun damage. There are two types of damaging sun rays: UVA (the one that cause wrinkling) and UVB (the ones that cause burning). Think A for aging and B for burning. The best products contain broad spectrum sunscreens that protect against both UVA and UVB rays. The sun's rays can penetrate through clouds, glass and clothing. That is why it is so important to always protect yourself by using SPF products.

14. Can I do more to look healthy and beautiful?
    
    Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants (fresh fruits and vegetables, especially dark green, yellow and orange ones). They nourish your entire system and especially your skin. Don't smoke as this robs your cells of oxygen and also increases wrinkling around the lop and eye areas. Be sure to remove makeup and cleanse and tone before going to sleep at night. This prevents clogging of pores and helps to prevent the formation of blemishes. And always use warm water, not hot or cold when cleansing the skin. Extremes in temperature can traumatize the capillaries in the face.

15. Is it important for men to use skin care?
    
    A good skin care regimen is just as important for men as it is women. Men have higher levels of hormones, which tend to make the skin thicker and oiler. Since many men shave on a daily basis, their skin is being stripped of its normal oils. If aftershave lotion is then being applied, not only is the skin being stripped but also dehydrated. Since the skin provides immune and barrier functions, it is very important for men to establish a healthy skin care routine that most importantly includes SPF products - this is not about beauty but about having healthy skin.
