1 PLAY IT COOL
Washing the skin using hot water strips the natural oils from the skin and breaks down the skin barrier, leading to dryness and irritation. For a refreshed, healthy skin use warm tepid water to cleanse the skin for maximum benefits.
2 EASY ON THE EYES
Eye skin is more delicate that the rest of the skin on the face, so be sure to use products that are specifically formulated for this delicate area. Heavy creams can cause the eye area to break out in bumps called Milia. Lighter creams with vitamins are the best.
3 A LIGHT IDEA
With the colder months comes increased dryness in the air. Switch to a more hydrated version of your favorite products so skin doesn’t get dry and flakey. Serums are great for extra hydration.
4 SCREEN TEST
If you have sensitive skin, look for sunscreens that contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. These will block the harmful UV rays and won’t clog pores,plus it will feel light on the skin.
5 DARE TO DETOX
Use a clay mask to draw impurities, detox the skin and pull out debris from the pores. For optimum cleansing everyone should detoxify the skin at least twice a month.
6 GET THE GLOW
Exfoliate the skin every day and in the shower. This helps remove the top layer of the skin, irrigating the skin and smoothing the surface. Moisturizers and creams can penetrate deeper into the skin for maximum hydration.
7 HERE’S THE SCOOP
Antioxidants help protect against free radicals, which can cause wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. Protect yourself inside and out by eating foods with antioxidants including fruits and vegetables, along with a good topical cream with Esther-C, Lipoic Acid, Q-10, and DMAE. With antioxidants this will prevent free-radical damage to your skin. Your skin will look years younger and beautifully smooth.
8 SKIN DEEP AND A YOUTHFUL COMPLEXION
Glycolic Acid, one of the most popular alpha hydroxy acids on the market. When applied to the skin it helps to exfoliate and take off dead cells, giving us a younger appearance. What’s more, Glycolic Acid is a valuable addition to many of the super-antioxidant products (such as alpha lipoic acid and DMAE). Because they work synergistically with other antioxidants, enhancing their antioxidant activity. In short Glycolic Acid smoothes the surface of the skin, reducing wrinkles and heals sun-damaged skin.
9 BEAUTY SECRETS
The secret to beautiful skin is all in the cleansing. If you use harsh products and do not cleanse the skin properly your skin will suffer. Use cleansers and toners that are gentle yet powerful enough to clean deep within the pores and the surface of the skin. Do not use anything that includes alcohol or chemicals.
10 THE BOTTOM LINE
Although antioxidant therapy can help repair the punishing rays of the sun, it can’t completely eliminate the skin-damaging effects of a lifetime of unprotected sun exposure. So I’ll caution all readers: Use at least an SPF-15 sunscreen (in most foundations today) as a daily routine. The thinner, more delicate skin on the face, is ground zero for sun damage and aging skin.
