We often hear complaints from women who take meticulous care of their skin but still have skin problems.
Some says their skin looks greasy though it feels tight. Others say moisturizers make their dry skin worse. And some with oily skin complain of too much oil.
All of these gripes have one common factor. Each person used over-the-counter products to try and treat their skin condition.
Drugstore products have a fixed formula and dosage. But not everyone has the same skin types or the same problems with their skin.
In order to get the proper treatment for your skin condition, you need to have a professional take a look at it. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it’s complicated! So having a highly trained aesthetician conduct an analysis will help immensely.
Skin craves ceramides, essential fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, and sodium PCA, (an amino acid derivative). But please, take note:
You have to know which one (or more) works best for your skin type and apply it in the right amounts.
Secondly, even if you do guess correctly about your skin condition, drugstore products simply do not have the potency of our professional line.
There is a secret to unlocking the natural beauty of your skin. Whether you have oily, dry, mature, or combination skin; pay attention to the symptoms. It’s your skin telling you what it needs.

Habits that Sabotage the Skin
Skin saboteurs…. There are three common habits that can wreak havoc on your skin. Let’s see what they are and what you can do about them.
Keeping outdated cosmetics – If you can’t remember the last time you used it, it’s probably been longer than three months.
Throw them away! Outdated products are bacteria-breeding farm. Everyone wants to save money, but you might end up spending more if your skin starts having problems. Mark the date on the container when you buy it. Better to be safe than sorry!
DIY Facials – We’ve all done this at one point or another, squeezing a zit, peeling off a scab, or picking a pimple until it bleeds. When you do this, you’re injuring your skin, which can lead to scarring.
Try to resist the temptation and let us handle these problems with the greatest of care.
Sleeping with your make-up on. You’ve been warned against this time and time again. Why? Because this bad habit not only ages your skin up to four days in one night, but it also creates a breeding ground for bacteria. That means blackheads and pimples.
If you think you can’t wash your face before hitting the hay, wipe your face with a pre-moistened towelette to remove the day’s make-up and grime.
These three skin saboteurs are really more about lifestyle choices. They’re easy to slip into, but with little effort, just as easy to slip out of.

Should You Change Your Routine?
A lot of women fall into a time warp when it comes to taking care of their skin.
After spending years battling oily, dry or combination skin, they don’t realize that their skin have changed with time. And because of that, they haven’t changed their skincare routine.
If you’ve noticed that your skin just doesn’t feel as clean as it once did, or it’s getting oilier quicker, or your make-up fades away quickly, then we can say with confidence, it’s time for a skin consult.
Yes, you’ve been using your brand since you were a teen. And that’s where the problem lies! It’s time for a change, and we promise, you’re going to love it.

Excuse #2: “My Mom Always Used Soap And She Has Good Skin
Excuse #2: “My Mom Always Used Soap And She Has Good Skin
This is an interesting excuse. So let’s take a close look at it. Because mom always used soap seems, on the surface, to be a strong enough justification to do the same thing, right?
Well, mom also used:
• A rotary phone or push button phone
• Waxy lipstick
• A sink to wash dishes
• The newspaper to catch up on what’s happening
Done any of those things lately?
The truth is times change. And in the case of skin care, they’ve changed for the better. Women no longer have to rely on soap and cold crème, which clogs your pores, to moisturize their skin.
Remember, skin is the largest organ of the body. It houses your insides, protects you from the elements, and gives you form. And most importantly, it’s the only one you have!
No doubt mom may have had good skin, but why settle?
Today, we have the resources for skin that goes beyond “good” to defying your age. And it all starts with professional skin care products designed specifically for your skin type.
Take a hint from mom. Use the resources you have available to get skin that skips a generation from good to fabulous!
