There are several signs that may indicate that you have dry skin:

After washing or bathing, your skin may feel tight or stretched.
2. Flaking or scaling
Dead skin cells may flake or scale off, giving the skin a rough texture.

The skin may appear red and irritated, especially in areas that are prone to dryness such as the cheeks, forehead and around the mouth.
4. Itching
The skin may feel itchy or uncomfortable.

Dry skin tends to be less elastic, which can make fine lines and wrinkles more pronounced.
6. Lack of oil
When you press your skin, it will not leave any oil on your finger.

A growing preference for natural products free from chemicals, along with a concern for the environment is driving the demand for herbal beauty products. This means Annique, and its key ingredient Rooibos, is perfectly placed to suit your needs.
The high concentration of polyphenolic compounds (micronutrients) in Rooibos tea is what makes it so sought-after as a health and beauty enhancer. Polyphenols act as antioxidants that protect the body against inflammation. It neutralises harmful free radicals that would otherwise damage cells and cause premature ageing. Drinking Rooibos tea should form part of your daily beauty routine to ensure healthy and hydrated skin.
It also contains an abundance of the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which is an effective anti-ageing substance. As such. Rooibos reduces wrinkles and boosts the production of healthy skin cells.
The high flavonoid levels in Rooibos also help to improve skin disorders like eczema. It’s natural anti-inflammatory properties will help soothe and relieve inflamed skin. Rooibos teabags can be directly applied onto the affected skin for a few minutes. Bathing regularly or rinsing inflamed areas with the tea will provide a healing effect. Or, add rooibos in a spray bottle and apply throughout the day or when discomfort is experienced.
Inflammation is a major cause of acne and when your skin is damaged, it’s more vulnerable to bacteria which can aggravate acne. In addition to the tea’s anti-inflammatory response, it also contains antibacterial properties that will help fight acne. Drink it regularly and/or use it as a face rinse instead of water.
The polyphenols or antioxidants in Rooibos tea also strengthens hair follicles and promotes shiny and soft hair. Rinse your hair at least once a week with a strong brew of cooled down Rooibos tea for glowing locks. This is also good for treating a dry, itchy, or irritated scalp. Tired and sensitive eyes can also be treated with lukewarm Rooibos. Place tea bags on eyelids or rinse the eyes gently with the tea. Rooibos is also hypoallergenic and is therefore ideal for people with sensitive skin.
