At Home Skin Care 101

You probably wash your face and apply skin care products about 740 times each year. The use of quality products formulated for your skin’s needs are important to maintaining or improving health and appearance.

A good basic at home routine will include:

1. Facial cleanser that leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean and comfortable.
2. Hydrating toner (these often have additional benefits)
3. Antioxidant serums include ingredients such as vitamin c, green tea, rooibos tea or resveratrol, for example. This helps provide additional protection to your skin from free radical damage and premature aging.
4. Sunscreen and protective clothing during the day.
5. Nighttime use of retinol. Retinol has many benefits that help to facilitate clarity, even skin tone and healthy cell turnover.

Using the products listed will help balance your skin and maintain its health and beauty. If you have concerns about your skin that need correction there are other specialty serums and treatments that address issues such as aging, sun damage, acne and uneven pigment. You can accomplish great results with consistent use of good products. The best results are obtained from good product usage and monthly facial treatments.
