Dry skin occurs when the outermost layer of the skin is lacking moisture or sebum. There are two types of dry skin: simple dry skin and complex dry skin. Simple dry skin mostly affects men and women under the age of 35. It can result from a lack of natural oils. Complex dry skin lacks both oil and moisture, and is characterised by brown spots, enlarged pores, fine lines and sagging skin.

Complex dry skin can occur with ageing.
Dry skin may be dull-looking, scaly and cracked. It can be hard to touch, wrinkled, develops fine lines and often feels ‘tight’. Skin problems, such as psoriasis and contact dermatitis, may show similar symptoms. Hypothyroidism may also lead to dry skin. Certain drugs such as diuretics and antihistamines may also aggravate dry skin. Dry skin is common on areas of the body, which are exposed to the elements, particularly in winter. Dry skin may be hereditary in some people.

A balance of oil and moisture is necessary for healthy skin. Oil is secreted by the sebaceous glands and lubricates the surface of the skin. There needs to be sufficient water in the skin cells, as well as enough oil to act as protection. This prevents excess evaporation of moisture from the outermost layers of the skin.

Dry skin may be caused or influenced by a poor diet. A diet low in essential fatty acids and other nutrients can cause the skin to become dry and flaky.

The long winter and the resulting weight gain and lack of motivation that comes from it. Spring is just around the corner and you’re deathly afraid of trying on some of your spring and summer clothes, aren’t you?

There’s time to make changes.
10 simple and effective methods to jumpstart your fitness program:

1. Three 10-minute workouts spread through the day can be just as effective as one 30-minute session.
2. Eliminate one portion of food from one daily meal. If you usually have a sandwich with cheese for lunch, just eliminate the cheese. If you have a salad for lunch, but it’s smothered with croutons, just eliminate the croutons.
3. At work, don’t e-mail or use the phone if you’re in the same building as the person you wish to speak with, get off your butt and walk over to the person.
4. Go for a big group walk after dinner. Make family outings include physical activities.
5. Turn on the music and do aerobic housecleaning. C’mon, make it fun!
6. Perform calf lifts (toe raises) while cooking dinner.
7. If you have kids, teach them how to perform jumping jacks and then help them “practice” each day (very entertaining as well as good exercise).
8. Pack your lunch three days per week.
9. Take your kids to the park and then walk or jog around the playground area.
10. Work on your posture. It’s amazing to see the number of people who slouch. If you stand up straight you’ll look leaner, younger and healthier.

If you take two to three of your favourite tips above -- that will be the beginning of something great.

Throughout the 75-minute duration of the complete Orange Experience treatment, your whole skin is submerged in a bath of pure vitamins from the Mediterranean countryside,
so that you can feel their beneficial effects immediately.

The vitamin levels that this treatment provides for the skin, are 30 times greater than those achieved when the vitamins are administered orally.

Together with the vitamins of citrus origin (C, A, E, B and P), the treatment also includes grape flavanoids, the vegetable oils Omega 3 and 6 and rice oil. DU complements this exclusive and unique treatment with alphahydroxyacids, algae extracts and elements of state-of-the-art cosmetic technology such as: Argireline, Antartcicine and Seriseline.
After two years of research and development, the scientific and technical team at DU have managed to ensure that the active ingredients of the Orange Experience treatment do not only remain on the most superficial layers of the skin, and instead form a concentrated gradient from the corneous layer to the dermis. This way, in just one session, the skin
is revived, revitalised and immediately changes its texture and feel.
