Daily Skin Care
cleansing Only once a day…Cleansing lotion for normal skin
The Cleansing Lotion for Dry Skin, formulated for the dry and dry-sensitive skin, is used only at night.
The Cleanser for Dry Skin is ideal for the gentle removal of facial make-up.
Use the finger tips and apply to the whole face in gentle, circular movements without stretching or massaging the skin.
Remove immediately with a wet facial cloth or sponge. Immediately apply the Skin Detox and/ or Revitalising Cream to clean skin followed by the Moisturiser for Dry and pH Balancing Freshener.
Oil-free cleansing gel
Cleansing is the easiest step in the skin care routine. Excessive cleansing, however, may have a negative effect on the skin. Problem and oily skin types are as vulnerable to excessive cleansing as any other type of skin. Continual overcleansing may aggravate the problem because the skin compensates for the removal of excessive oils by simply producing more oil.
Annique adds a patented Rooibos extract to reduce the incidence of
allergic reactions. The rich foam of the Cleansing Gel washes away impurities from the surface of the skin, leaving the skin super clean and soft. The Cleansing Gel also contains alpha hydroxy acids (extracted from bilberries, oranges, lemons and sugar cane), which gently removes dead skin cells.
The anti-bacterial ingredients of the Cleansing Gel promote the healing of problem skin and reduce the incidence of infections. Immediately apply the
Skin Detox and Annique Moisturiser afterwards.
Reveal hidden beauty of skin – Refining scrub cream
The Annique Refining Scrub contains supple granules to prevent damage to the skin. The grains effectively remove dead cells, blackheads and whiteheads. This leaves the skin glowing, stimulated and nourished with renewed blood fl ow to the surface. Do not neglect to scrub areas like ears (yes), eyelids, neck, chest, shoulders and back of neck. The grains of the scrub should be gently rolled over the skin. Only the thin layer of dead cells on the surface of the skin is removed. Remove the scrub with lukewarm Rooibos tea and a facial cloth or sponge. The Annique Refi ning Scrub is ideal for problem or acne skin and for areas such as the nose, chin and forehead. The scrub should be used once/twice per week and may be applied over the Annique Cleanser.

Moisture masque
The Annique Moisture Masque contains ingredients which “bombards” moisture into the skin. This masque is famous for its moisturising qualities. It may even be used on a sensitive skin and left on overnight. The Moisture Masque gently massages the skin without stretching or pulling it, while simultaneously removing dried cells from the surface. However, this is not an exfoliating agent. The action of the Moisture Masque is so gentle it does not harm the living cells beneath the dead cells. This masque promotes cell renewal. For a stimulating treatment the masque may be applied in a thick layer and washed off after 20 – 30 minutes. The Moisture Masque may also be applied over other products. As the masque’s action is very gentle, it may be left on the skin for longer periods than other masques.
Rooibos Antioxidant clay masque
Free radicals are the main cause of disease and ageing in living cells. The only defence against free radicals is antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralise and remove free radicals from cells thereby restoring cell damage, rejuvenating skin and preventing ageing. Rooibos has been scientifi cally proven to be one of the most potent suppliers of antioxidants known to man. Annique has combined a super fine powder of Rooibos – containing the essence of the herb – with an antioxidant clay containing essential minerals for healthy, younger skin. This combination forms a unique antioxidant “clay masque”, which brings one of the world’s greatest spa treatments to your home.
Ideal for: aged skin wrinkles pigmentation marks problem and oily skin (pimples) acne improving skin texture enlarged pores allergic and sensitive skin dehydrated, dry skin.
moisturise The essential part of life – water! – Moisturiser for dry skin
The Moisturiser for Dry Skin is one of the most complex formulations in the world. It has been developed for the restoration of the moisture content of the dry and dehydrated skin. It could be recommended for all ages with extremely dry and aged skin. Because the cream is so thick we have a unique way of application: This practical application saves product and time while it increases absorption. The method is quick; the cream is evenly applied; and the skin is not stretched.
• Spread only a small amount in the palms of the hands;
• Press lightly onto the whole the face, over eyes, neck (front and back) and breast area. Pat remainder onto back of hands.
During the day the moisturiser may be applied over foundation. The Moisturiser for Dry Skin is unique in every way. It was formulated especially for the dry and dehydrated skin, with due allowance for harsh climatic conditions. For the best results, the moisturiser should also be applied regularly throughout the day, (after all, one quenches the body’s thirst regularly – why not the skin’s?), and should be used in conjunction with the Revitalising Cream. When the reproduction of the cells is accelerated by the RevitalisationCream, the cells rise to the surface more quickly where the elements will, in turn, dehydrate them again. The moisturiser prevents the new cells from prematurely losing their moisture, causing them to wilt and flatten.
Herbal moisturiser
The Herbal Moisturiser is perfect for the normal, oily and combination skin types. The Herbal Moisturiser may also be used in summer, when the dry skin may need less moisturising. A non-greasy, hypo-allergenic moisturiser, that leaves the skin moist without a greasy, oily feel. A delightful, cooling, soft moisturiser that contains, among other ingredients, a variety of herbal extracts and Rooibos unique to skin care formulas. The Herbal Moisturizer is ideal for the in-between season, in-between skin and in-between age. The Herbal Moisturiser is applied after the Revitalising Cream, and may also be applied during the day, depending on the specifi c needs of the skin.
Hydrating moisturiser
The Hydrating Moisturiser is immediately absorbed by the skin. It protects the skin against dehydration and irritation throughout the day. Contains Annique’s unique extract of Rooibos with antioxidant properties. The Hydrating Moisturiser counteracts defi ciencies of essential moisture by
supporting the skin’s ability to retain moisture. It gives the skin a soft and healthy glow. It is a refreshing, moisturising “drink” to the skin that soothes away dehydration and replaces lost moisture. The Hydrating Moisturiser is recommended for normal, oily, combination and problem skin. Apply with Annique’s palm-press method in the morning, and evenings and throughout the day to ensure the skin feels comfortable and elasticity is maintained.
Hydra 3
Hydra3 combines science and nature to give skin three-way moisture protection.
[1] A moisturising ingredient that binds with the skin providing longlasting effectiveness;
[2] the natural extract of carob tree provides moisture in the formulation to penetrate the epidermal layer; and
[3] extract from the imperata cylindrica root preserves moisture content in skin for up to 24 hours.
Other ingredients help repair matrix at epidermal-dermal connective tissue to reduce the signs of ageing while repairing collagen structures.
Sensi Crème
The Sensi Crème is a nonirritating, hypo-allergenic moisturiser specially formulated for sensitive skin. This unique cream is used to condition and coach very sensitive skin types to accept and respond (positively) to the other Annique moisturising, cleansing and nourishing products.
Application:
Recondition the sensitive skin with Annique Sensi Crème:
Step 1:
Use the Sensi Crème as a cleanser (evenings); moisturiser (evenings and mornings) for 10 – 14 days.
Step 2:
Replace the Sensi Crème in your skin care routine every 10 – 14 days with ONE other Annique product. Start with the Cleanser for Normal and moving on to Skin Detox and the pH Balancing Freshener.
Step 3:
After another 10 – 14 days add the Annique Crème de Nuit to nourish the skin. Do not stop using the Sensi Crème as a moisturiser during the mornings and evenings.
Step 4:
After another 10 – 14 days add the Annique Revitalising Cream if rejuvenation is required. You can keep doing this until the Sensi Crème has been replaced by a normal skin care range of products.
Restoring pH balance prevents ageingpH Balancing freshener
A gentle soothing pH-restoring agent with the anti-allergic Rooibos and other calming herbal extracts. Rooibos not only calms and soothes irritated or hot skin, it also has antioxidant enzymes, revitalising qualities and anti-bacterial characteristics to protect the skin against premature ageing. The pH Balancing Freshener was formulated to restore the pH balance after cleansing, and contains, among other ingredients, an extract of Rooibos. The pH Balancing Freshener cools, calms and soothes skin while controlling dryness and oiliness to prevent irritation and breakouts. Reapply regularly during the day.
The pH Balancing Freshener is applied after all the Annique creams have been pressed onto the skin. This is because the pores are open after cleansing, allowing easier absorption of creams. Application of the pH Balancing Freshener will balance the pH of the skin, and assists in better absorption of creams.
The final result: an even more beautiful skin, faster!
UV-protection is skin’s best defenceSun Block SPF 30
Protection against full spectrum of UVAI, UVAII and UVB sun rays The Sun Block SPF 30 contains a physical block and a chemical block. The Sun Block SPF 30 is safe to use and will not cause the skin to become “sick” due to the overuse of chemical protectors.
The perfect protection against UVA and UVB-rays, cold, heat, and airconditioning in an office or shop. Ideally the Sun Block SPF 30 should be used every day as part of the skin care routine. It is not only a screen against the sun, but also protects against the drying and ageing effect of wind, cold, pollution and airconditioning. Regular use of the Sun Block SPF 30 will prevent the development of sun spots (pigmentation marks, ageing spots) on the face and hands and will lighten any existing pigmentation marks, since the skin is protected from sun damage.
Note:
The SPF on Annique sun products has been tested and certified by a pharmaceutical laboratory.
