Let’s be honest – it’s been a challenging year and 12 months into a pandemic, you cannot fault yourself for having stressed and fatigued skin. Fortunately, there are ways to combat and manage tired, dull looking skin without spending a fortune and dedicating huge amounts of time on your skincare regime.

Skin Functional’s Kevin Khosa advises to: “Take this time to invest in yourself and your skin’s health. Learn to love the skin you are in and be patient with your skin. Replace the time getting ready in the morning for work and the hours spent in traffic with time dedicated to caring for your skin. Skincare offers no miracles, rather it is about consistency and understanding that your skin is constantly in flux. Skincare results take at least eight weeks and any assessments sooner than this should rather focus on skin smoothness rather than physiological changes.”
