Skin Care Facts & Fiction

• Basic daily skin care products cannot prevent or correct serious skin care concerns.
• The more lather a cleanser has, the more irritating it is.
• Moisturizers only hydrate skin, but do not resolve aging concerns.
• When my skin is extra dry, the best plan of attack is to use a richer moisturizer rather than adding another type of rpoduct.
• My skin is oily, so I do not need to moisturize.

If you believe any of the above, it's time to brush up on your basics. The reason? The key to your softest, most radiant skin is not about intensive products for specific concerns, but a simple 3 step daily routine that imrpoves its overall health and well-being.

1. CLEANSE - Gently removes daily impurities that can cause irritation, imperfections and premature aging. A rich creamy foam is crucial to cleansing. It provides a gentle cushion to skin while penetrating deep into pores to wash away impurities.

HINT: HAlf an inch, Half a cup! - You only need half an inch of cleansing foam plus water to create a half cup of soft lather.

2. SOFTEN - Provide instant hydration while gently exfoliating for smoothness and glowing clarity.

HINT: A cotton pad, never a tissue! - this is to maximize the effectiveness of softener. Tissue can irritate skin.

3. MOISTURIZE - perfectly balance moisture levels while protecting skin from environmental damages, which helps resist signs of premature aging. If you don't moisturize oily skin, you're actually making the problem worst. When your skin doesn't have enough moisture, it produces more oil to protect itself from dehydration.

HINT: The right amount of moisturizer! - can actually make your T-zone stay matte longer.

Time to shop for the right moisturizer, ladies! :).
