Skincare is a science. A delicate science that takes years to master and years of research to achieve the best skincare your skin deserves. Naked Klay skincare is developed by cosmetic chemist Danielle and Pamela a mother and daughter duo focusing on skincare that combines innovative scientific research with ancient traditions of medicinal herbs.

We often get asked how to achieve “flawless”, “porcelain” skin. The biggest query being how to prevent ageing and to manage/ battle oily and/or acne prone skin. Through studies and research we created advanced skincare bundles which complement each other to help achieve these desired results. 

Anti-Ageing

Firstly, what does anti-ageing mean? According to the dictionary anti-ageing means (of a product or technique) designed to prevent the appearance of getting older; e.g. an anti-ageing cream. 

At NK we know despite whether your skin is oily, normal, combination or dry, young, fresh looking skin is something we all desire. Therefore our entire skin care range is carefully formulated with natural anti-ageing ingredients for your added benefit. 

How to reduce/prevent premature ageing

1. Protect your skin from the sun, use a 30+ sunscreen daily.
2. Use an antioxidant rich moisture day and night with anti-ageing specific ingredients.
3. Implement a hydration mask into your skincare routine regularly. 
4. Practice exercising your face daily. Either with your hands, facial roller or a facial sculpture.
5. Stay hydrated, drinks lots of water.
6. Have a vitamin rich diet.
7. Don’t smoke, take drugs of drink excess alcohol.

• Ginko Biloba - Potent antioxidant protection, increasing hydration and ageing defence, this soothing ingredient helps retain moisture and ensure a dewy, youthful glow.
• Burdock Root - Abundant with Vitamins A, B and C. A powerful antioxidant. 
• White Tea - Is the least processed of all the teas derived from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Due to this, it retains higher amounts of antioxidants making it an effective anti-aging ingredient in skincare. 

Oily and Acne Prone Skin

The positive side to oily skin is that it ages slower than dry skin. However, oily skin types tend to have larger pores, is prone to acne and can lack brightness. Excess oil in the skin can lead to blemishes and acne flare-ups.

So what are some ways we can control oily skin and fight acne?

1. Cleanse your skin well, morning and night.
2. Use a Charcoal Mask 2 to 3 times a week, no more. Charcoal is a great toxin magnet attracting dirt, impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oils from the skin.
3. Use products with powerful ingredients that will balance oil and fight bacteria. 
4. Don’t forget to moisturise. We often hear people of stripping their skin of moisture (even over-cleansing) because they are worried more oil will produce. However, moisture loss will in fact increase oil production. When you strip away the oils your skin naturally produces, it will over-compensate and produce more oil than it think it should, therefore, staying balanced and hydrated is key. 
5. It is equally important to stay hydrated, eating a well-balanced diet, avoiding smoking, drug and alcohol. Exercise regularly and maintain your mental health.
