Skin Care 101

Daily facial cleansing removes dirt, oil, other unwanted debris. Pollutants, bacteria, viruses, dirt, and old (dead) skin cells that cover your face. This ritual washes these impurities to provide the skin with a fresh look. Removing this step allows your skin to be coated with dirt that prevent other products to perform their job and penetrate the skin properly.

Toners should be used directly after cleansing to re-infuse the skin with ingredients that will replenish, repair, and restore. An essential part when packed with ingredients such as antioxidants and nutrients. Supplying these ingredients post-cleanse is the perfect time, as pores are open and ready to absorb. Regular use can aid in radiant skin.

The natural process of skin cell turnover slows as we age. Exfoliating the skin 2 to 3 times a week aids in the removal of old skin, blocked pores, and reveals a younger and fresher look. This is instrumental in allowing maximum absorption from the skin care products that follow to make them more effective.

Applying an eye serum is the number one step for minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines around the eyes.

Serum is a skincare product applied before you moisturize. Serums are the movers and shakers of skin care, because they deliver powerful ingredients directly into the skin to target specific concerns, such as wrinkles, age spots, etc.

Daily moisturizing can counteract the effects of our everyday habits and the environment, reducing the chances of developing skin problems. Skin Care professionals recommend to moisturize after washing because it traps water, which is needed to remain healthy, prevent dryness, maintain its balance, and provide support for its optimal functioning.
