One of the six differences between Annique and other skin care manufacturers is that we encourage only cleansing once a day, at night. Cleansing disturbs the delicate pH balance of the skin, which can take up to 18 hours or more to return to normal.

Cleansing only once a day ensures that the skin’s pH is restored, so the skin can function optimally. The Face Facts Cleanser has a fresh dual therapeutic fragrance which helps control oiliness and acne-forming bacteria.

Face Facts Cleanser is mild and effective but tough on acne. The inclusion of fruit acids helps to gently exfoliate the problem skin without “over” cleansing it. Oily skin should not be cleansed too harshly or too often because that will strip the skin of important natural oil and stimulate the skin to produce more oil that will in turn clog the pores.

This is a gentle herbal formula that includes problem-skin-friendly ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (a unique blend of bilberry, sugarcane, sugar maple, orange and lemon extract) that promotes smoother skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal.

The Face Facts Cleanser can be used to shave the face and legs. It prevents razor rash and stops in-grown hair and combats breakouts.

Melissa leaf (Melissae Folium), better known as lemon balm, promotes restful sleep. It is known for its antiseptic properties, and calming and anti-depressant effects. Melissa Leaf has been used to promote sleep and prevent insomnia. Rooibos & Melissa Leaf tea (previously Night Rest tea) provides a calming, relaxing effect that helps to reduce anxiety or agitation and soothe the nerves. Melissa leaf may help in treating indigestion. It can also help to relax muscle spasms, numb tissue and destroy bacteria.

It also boasts antihistamine properties and helps with allergies. Antioxidants found in Rooibos tea can help protect your cells against damage caused by free radicals, leading to premature ageing. Annique’s Rooibos & Melissa Leaf tea is caffeine free, low in tannins, rich in minerals and boasts a high volume of antioxidants

Cancer bush is an indigenous South African shrub, used over many centuries for its medicinal benefits. Cancer bush (Sutherlandia) is an adaptogenic herb, which means that it acts like a thermostat to help the body use its own processes to adapt to the environment, disease and mental and emotional stress. Rooibos and Cancer Bush have both been used by the Khoisan for many health benefits. Rooibos provides antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-carcinogenic and anti-diabetic benefits and is naturally caffeine free.
