Hi,

I'm 28 years old. After living in the US for the past decade, my skin type has changed from oily to dry. During cold winter months, my face gets so dry that no matter how much moisturizer I piled, it'd still be flaky. My beautician recently recommended me Sothy's liposomes hydrogel. The result is great. Now, I'm considering buying some other products from your website, but not sure whether I should use the entire skin care line from Sothy's since the liposomes hydrogel is the only product i've tried. Can you please recommend me a routine? In addition, I also tend to have dark eye circles and eye bags when I don't get enough sleep. I also noticed there're some very light pimple scars on my face, but they can be easily covered by foundations.

Is your skin truly dry, or it is normal/dry with dehydration? Regardless, it sounds like your skin also needs some exfoliation; when there are dry, flakey skin cells present, theses create a barrier that do not allow your other products to do their job(s) as effectively. And, no, it's not always necessary to use everything from one skincare line. I'll make a few recommendations:

Phytomer Gentle Cleansing Milk & Face Dew Toning Lotion, Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution & Multi-Active Toner, Yonka Cleansing Milk & Lotion for Normal/Dry Skin. You may want to incorporate an exfoliant such as Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant, Phytomer's Peeling Vegetable Masque, or Decleor's Phytopeel.

Good eye products: Dermalogica's Total Eye Care, MV Power Firm for Eyes, and Sothys Active Phytocontour Creme.

Whoops! Missed those recommendations! Some to consider: Dermalogica's Skin Smoothing Creme or Intensive moisture Balance, Phytomer's Hydration Reinforce, Sothys Hydraoptimal Gel or Creme. If your skin is truly dry, use a creme formulation. If your skin is dehydrated, but not as dry on the surface, use a lighter, gel-based product. Please note that none of the above contain sunscreens, and we advise that you use one religiously, over your daily moisturizer. Cool
