Skin Care Basics

      Although the skin has 10 essential needs to maintain optimal levels of healthy skin, daily needs require four steps to create the foundation of daily basic skin care. The four essential steps are cleanse,  tone, protect, and hydrate. A fifth step, exfoliate, is added here because it is not typically done every day.  I recommend at least twice weekly. Some can do more depending on scrub and how much your skin tolerates it. A look at each step individually will help to clarify how it specifically addresses the essential needs of your skin.

      Cleanse: This step meets the skin's basic need to be free of excess oil, dirt, and pollutants. If these impurities are not removed, you may experience dull, sallow skin; clogged, inflamed pores that can discolor and scar; or free radical oxidation that can damage cells, affect healthy cell renewal, irritate the skin, and initiate hyperpigmentation. To avoid these negative effects, cleansing should be performed twice daily. I recommend a gentle cleanser that will clean but not strip the skin of your natural oils.

      Exfoliate:  A gentle exfoliant scrub is a must.  Twice weekly or more.  Removing dead skin cells will help to revive, renew and give you more vibrant skin plus it makes all your products work better.  They are able to penetrate the skin when the dead cells are removed. 

·     Tone: Toning fulfills a basic daily need by preparing the skin to receive the benefits from other products and should be performed twice daily, after cleansing. Toning works in several ways. It calms and soothes the skin; toning also minimizes the appearance of pores and balances the skin's pH.  Please choose one without alcohol.  Not all toners are created equal.  Alcohol will dry your skin out.

·     Protect: The protect step meets the skin's basic need for a morning moisturizer with SPF to guard against harmful UV rays and environmental stressors. Sun damage degrades the moisture barrier and structural proteins and promotes discoloration—all signs of premature skin aging.  

·     Hydrate: The hydrate step provides vital lipids, replenishing moisture, and key repair components for optimal nighttime recovery. Nighttime hydration should be applied once daily in the evening. 

      Nighttime Regimen:  Repeat cleanse and tone but use a nighttime moisturizer.  This nighttime step is many times over looked and this is a critical time where the skin will renew and repair itself. You will wake up to more beautiful skin.
