Sher Programme for Active/Outdoor Life
Special Skincare Strategies for Sports Minded People
The Sher System is a skincare company with integrity. It is also a place of learning; we teach as well as treat.
The impact of physical activity and weather conditions on the skin is well established. The Active/Outdoor regime is based on water therapy. Water is referred to as the silent nutrient, reflecting the extent to which its presence and availability are taken for granted. As with all nutrients, a regular intake of water is required for the body and skin to maintain good health. Dehydration has a negative effect on physical performance as well as overall health.
Helen Sher is one of the world’s leading experts on non-invasive skincare and a true believer in regular exercise. She is a living example of the benefits of water therapy, a routine she has been following all her adult life.
Active/outdoor advocates are among those most exposed to the damaging effects of the sun, pollution, perspiration, dehydration and extreme climatic conditions. The programme for sports-minded women and men is specifically designed to strengthen, protect and hydrate the skin from the outside.
Developed in the UK and exhaustively researched in conjunction with leading dermatologists, The Sher System has achieved a world-wide international following through reputation, excellence of product and, most of all, resounding results.
The Sher System studio is based in London at 30 New Bond Street and is known throughout the world by active/outdoor individuals who take their skincare needs very seriously.
The Multiple Rinse Philosophy
Skin and its care are our top priority. The benefits of water go well beyond the surface. Insufficient water, both inside and out, along with dehydration from the environment can accelerate skin problems. We can live without food much longer than we can without water. The human body is made of 70% water.
Using warm water on the skin thoroughly cleanses, gently exfoliates and hydrates the face. Your skin is like a plum; if it lacks water, it becomes dehydrated and turns into a wrinkled prune. But soak that prune in warm water overnight and it plumps up again.
Simple? – yes, but it works.
It is never too early to start on this routine, but it is also never too late. Skin has great powers of regeneration and responds well to this multiple rinse routine.
If the skin is to function as nature intended, you need to consistently replace the water you lose on a daily basis.
The Importance of Water Inside & Out
Water has 5 important functions; it is a lubricant, a solvent, a transportant, a coolant and a dispersant.
In sports medicine physicians advise athletes to drink pure water rather than mineral water because it is easier for the body to convert pure water into intracellular fluid. Research shows that water consumption during activity increases endurance and muscles remain relaxed rather than tense when activity is over.
The multiple rinsing routine replaces lost moisture and protects the skin of athletes against the environment hazards of modern active/outdoor life.
At The Sher System it is our mission to help people take that positive step to improve the quality of their skin.
An active/outdoor life is a basic bodily need. The human body is built for use and without it will deteriorate.

Our Skin Support Formula and why the importance of nutrition is reflected at all levels of sport
Vitamins and minerals play a key role in optimising the health and performance of active men and women. In many cases there may be an increased requirement for a particular micronutrient, arising from the commitment to a regular exercise schedule.
SKIN ALSO NEEDS HELP FROM THE INSIDE THE SHER SYSTEM SKIN SUPPORT FORMULA
Please remember that no matter what the condition of your skin, no therapy can ever be complete without careful attention to your diet. A junk food diet produces irritating toxic wastes which, as they are eliminated through your skin, will exacerbate existing conditions and frequently trigger the onset of further problems!
The Sher System has developed the ultimate nutritional supplement designed to supply your daily skincare needs.
Most of us lead active lives, often miss meals, suffer from too little sleep and too much stress. Our facial skin is under constant pressure from the environment in which we live.
The supplement works by helping to maintain normal digestion, blood sugar balance, skin nourishment and healthy elimination.
Suggested intake: 3 capsules daily, one with each meal
No added: sugar, salt, starch, soya, wheat, gluten, maize/corn, yeast, lactose, dairy products, artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings.
GM Free. V V. Hypo-allergenic formula.
Available in a bottle of 90 vegetarian capsules.

Your Questions Answered
What does each product do?
The Sher System programme produces exceptional results. Each preparation has its purpose in order to cleanse, balance, protect, strengthen and replace lost moisture. This group of interactive products is comparable to preparing a great recipe, combining the best ingredients and bringing them to perfection.
Are there instructions?
The most important aspect of the programme is the water therapy routine which is explained in explicit detail in the instruction booklet that is provided with each system.
How long before I see results?
Every skin is different and much depends upon the condition of the skin, as well as your general health and whether or not you are on medication. It takes at least a month for the old cells to shed and a new healthier skin to appear. However, most people experience positive benefits almost immediately.
What about the ingredients?
All the preparations are formulated in England, using the finest quality ingredients. All have been tested and approved under the strict supervision of a leading dermatologist.
All the ingredients are listed on the products as required by law. We use natural plant-derived ingredients wherever possible and have a fantastic twelve-year record of success.
How long will the products last?
The Sher System is an achievement of technique and technology. The products do not run out at the same time; some products are used only once a day, some morning and evening. The products are gentle and long lasting and, once on the programme, the upkeep is extremely cost effective.
Are facials necessary when on The Sher System?
Facials are not recommended, nor are they necessary, when on the system. The warm water routine has the same effect as a facial, without being invasive, in the privacy of your own home.
What do men really think about skincare?
85% of men think it is important to look after their skin, rising to 97% of 21-35 year olds.
Over a third (37%) of men think they have sensitive skin, although it is more likely that their shaving routine is to blame.
Men favour a simple, no nonsense approach which they can carry out at home.
It’s your skin that says the most about you!
