The strategy for a healthy skin is simple. It comprises four basic steps, twice a day, when you wake up and before you go to bed:
1. cleanse 2. tone 3. treat 4. moisturize/protect 1 Cleanse Washing your face twice a day, with a mild cleansing formula and warm water helps to expel dirt and makeup, build-up and oil. But all cleansers are not created the same. The best formula is one that is appropriate exclusively to your skin, designed to gently remove debris, without moving away vital moisture. After cleansing, your face should feel fresh, not tight! 2 Tone At once after cleansing, tone your skin to help re-establish healthy balance. A calming toning formula will eliminate any remaining traces of dirt, makeup or cleanser, hydrate and return your skin to its natural pH level. In accordance with your skin type, toners should be free of oil or alcohol. Search for natural ingredients like coneflower, chamomile or bitter orange peel that will treat your skin gently and naturally. 3 Treat Now let’s home in on your skin's special needs. In this restore stage, you'll deal with fine lines, discoloration, sun damage, blemishes or uneven skin tone. Soothe, brighten, smooth and refine your skin with such advanced components as alpha hydroxy and salicylic acids, green tea extracts, Vitamins A, C and E. 4 Moisturize/Protect Your body needs water to flourish, and your skin is no exception. Complete your twice a day routine with an combination of refreshing moisture. The right formula will plump up thirsty cells, making skin shine with brilliance. It will also create an invisible barrier, averting vital moisture from escaping and keeping damaging environmental stressors from piercing.
