Purely Personal Skin Care

Want the skin you had when you were younger, but want to stay within the family budget?  Well, that may be possible.  Depends on how long you’ve waited to get serious about your wrinkles.

Let’s assume you haven’t waited too long.  You don’t have to resort to surgery or a spa for the celebrities.  If you really aren’t sure how to classify your skin, a visit with your dermatologist is a good start.  Knowing your skin type is basic.

Now you can shop for the anti-aging creams, skin lotions, tightening masks…and stop to read the labels on those products approved and formulated by dermatologists.  With confidence in your healthy skin care products, you’re on your way to scheduling a well-planned skin rejuvenation program.

With a determined, serious YOU in charge…your wrinkles are in deep trouble.

At certain stages in your life you wait for help…or you decide you’ve just had a calling.  “You are about to be in charge of a siege of Acne”, or “You’re now the chief Care-Giver tending your own Anti-Aging Program”.

These realizations pop up as a natural part of our maturing process.  Look for tips on how to establish routines as well as equipment and necessary skin care products.

Obvious tip:  The Internet is full of tips for all Care Givers.

If you really feel short of experience in some area, your dermatologist is another obvious answer.  Dermatologist formulated skin care offers your best options for quality products with active ingredients in higher percentages than most Big Brand companies.

Now, consider where you will store your personal care products.  You know, the products for exfoliation, facial cleansers, anti-aging moisturizers, sugar scrubs and sun screens.  That decided, you’ll be comfortable accepting your new mission.

Senescence – the organic process of growing older.  Catabiosis – normal aging of cells.  We aim to fight both of those with our skin rejuvenation skin care.  Most of us want to reduce or eliminate the changes that occur with time and age.  Of course good nutrition, exercise and care to protect against the environmental onslaught of the sun and pollution can definitely help.  We can also improve our appearance at any age by smiling.  In fact a smiling older woman is considered more attractive than a non-smiling younger woman.  Some other small changes, such as sleeping on your back rather than you stomach can make a difference.  When you sleep on your stomach, your face gets scrunched up by the pillow.  Speaking of sleep, there’s another way to combat our senescence.  No matter what skin care beauty routine you follow, if you are sleep deprived, your face will show it.  No anti-aging routine can fix the effects of lack of sleep.

Find a good skin rejuvenation kit to begin with.  We recommend dermatologist-formulated beauty products as they are more likely to be natural.  Whatever you do, keep a daily skin care routine, morning and night and in between if you’re out in the sun.  Faithfully cleanse with a natural cleanser and tepid, never hot, water.  Exfoliate – this can be done while cleansing if you use a cleanser with salicylic acid.  MOISTURIZE – it’s a must.  At night use a rich night cream.  Lastly, use your sun block regularly – hopefully one with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Facial cleansers come in many packages and are formulated to produce different results. For example:

A cleanser containing chamomile extracts and algae peptides aims to soothe and hydrate the skin. Daily use promotes softer, smoother skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and surface dryness.

A combination of Vitamin E, lavender and aloe combine to provide a creamy wash that soothes and replenishes moisture to your facial skin, leaving it ultra soft and clean.

Then there are exfoliating facial cleansers produced to wash away skin debris, and refine and minimize the appearance of pores. A dermatologist-formulated product will contain a higher concentrate of salicylic acid than most over-the-counter products. The benefit to you is a cleanser for all skin types and especially formulated to calm and clear skin and remove dry, flaky areas.

Choose your facial skin cleanser carefully – use a combination during the week to produce various desired results. Cleansing is the first step in a daily facial skin routine.

Facial masks answer different needs for each of us.  Some are designed to boost the skin’s hydration, improve skin tone and elasticity while firming the facial skin’s texture.  They impart a healthy radiance.  Others draw out impurities from below the surface and absorb excess oils.

Facial masks often include vitamins, minerals and sometimes fruit extract and moisturizers.  All of them leave the skin with an ultra-fresh feeling and should be part of your weekly routine.

A facial mask can be for rejuvenating, revitalizing or just for a rewarding refreshment.  In fact, word is out that men will endure the perceived somewhat less-than-manly treatment to gain the refreshment high.

As we age, our natural process combines with environmental insults which result in the lessening of skin lipids.  Skin lipids are essential structural components of living cells.  They are an oily organic compound which is insoluble in water – a fatty acid that protects the skin when we are younger.

Lipid drops immediately impart a lustrous skin texture and a satiny soft feel to the skin – like a baby’s smoothness.  As we age, lipids deplete and we need to replenish them.  Lipid drops absorb rapidly and result in quickly producing an amazing improvement in skin texture – even after as little as 6 hours.

A small amount of serum will cover the whole face – a 1 oz bottle will last for months.  Apply twice daily for best effectiveness.  Apply lipid drops as a pre-moisturizer before application of an alpha hydrolic acid moisturizing cream for best effectiveness.

Clinical Laboratory Testing shows that after just 14 days of twice a day use, skin smoothness increases 55%, skin hydration increased 47% and the appearance of fine lines decreased by 15%.
