I had a really interesting conversation with a Pai customer this week which I thought might be worth sharing with anyone suffering with eczema. While she didn’t really have any eczema patches on the face, she did suffer really badly on the body – a good skin day for her meant very dry, flakey skin [...]
The world of skincare may seem complicated, but it doesn’t need to be. Rather than worrying about the latest “quick fix” or laboratory-crafted ingredients, it’s much more effective to think of good skin as we think of good health.
