1. What is the best way to cleanse your face?
We recommend cleansing your face mornings and evenings with one of our water-soluble cleansers or scrub according to skin type.
It is always best to use a toner or astringent after cleansing to rebalance your skin.

2. What do I do to protect my skin from the sun?
No matter the season or the climate you should always protect your skin from the sun. Apply sunscreen after you nourish your skin in the morning. Let the sunscreen set before applying your make-up. Be aware that as you sweat or swim the sunscreen dissolves so you might have to reapply.
NOTE:
Using Vitamin C in an external skincare product will give you a much higher protection from the sun as well. This takes place in the deeper layers of the skin and can't be washed or rubbed off.

3. What do I do to maintain a healthy well balanced skin?
After your daily cleansing routine, nourish your skin with the appropriate serum and moisturizer to maintain a healthy looking skin. (see chart)
Consult a skin care professional every 4-8 weeks and eat a well balanced diet and take multi-vitamins. Healthy skin is not just about topical intervention but needs to include the entire body and well being of the person.

4. Can I fix damage that resulted from frequent sun exposure?
The general rule of thumb is that it takes as long to repair damage as it did to create the damage. There are many things that we can now do to help alleviate and in some cases repair existing sun damage. For milder damage the simple act of the topical application of restorative products and the prevention of any further damage has shown great results We recommend: Lipo C Plus which contains vitamin C to build your natural collagen and "DNA" or "DNA Plus" to repair your skin. (See Chart)
For more severe damage it is recommended that you consult a Dermatologist.

5. I just had micro-dermabrasion or laser peel what product do you recommend?
The Collagen 2000 is an excellent product to encourage wound healing. It has also been beneficial in the treatment of burn patients, post procedural irritation and scarring.
Collagen 2000 hydrates the skin, attracts moisture and aids the skin in its ability to retain moisture. The DNA and DNA PLUS helps rebuild skin by nourishing skin cells.
(DNA for oily/acne skin. DNA PLUS for dry and/or mature skin.) Both of these serums can be used after a peeling or acid peels, and it improves damaged skin.
During the actual procedure we recommend the Phyto/Moor Mask as the final step to help cool the skin and help the healing process.

6. Can I put products on together or do I have to put them on separately.
Our products may be applied together and layering is encouraged. Wilma Schumann Skin Care recommends applying one of our moisturizers last because it will form a barrier on the skin to hold in moisture. Lipo “C” Plus should be applied preferably in the morning after cleansing the skin. After application allow the product to be absorbed into the skin. Glycolic 10 should be applied only at night after cleansing.

7. What products do you suggest for acne?
O2 Oxygen Blu - powerful antibacterial effect. Acne bacteria cannot live in an oxygen rich enviornment present in the O2 Oxygen Blu.

Glycolic 10 - helps clear the pores of acne prone skin and exfoliates dead and damaged skin cells, but is not recommended for red, aggravated breakouts.

DNA - especially formulated as a repair treatment for oily, acne or damaged skin. Derived from the Salomon Roe (caviar), this substance provides the skin with the building blocks naturally used by the skin cells in rebuilding healthy tissue.

The Solution - has ability to disinfect and assist the skin in its healing process.
