Skin Prescription - Skin Type #6
NORMAL / ANTI-AGING

We have recommended an extensive routine for those who want to "get serious" about their skin, but we realize there are others who want a simple approach. Check out our Basics and The Collection Kits below.

Extensive research brings you results-oriented anti-aging formulas. A unique blend of AHAs boost cell turnover, antioxidants fight daily skin aging, and skin stimulating ingredients like Ginseng and Rosemary work to keep your skin glowing. Your skin will be healthy, soft, and youthful-looking. *With any new skin care routine, it is advised to introduce one new product a day.

NOTE:

You will notice that we recommend different cleansers for the morning and the evening. We suggest a sulfate-free gel cleanser in the morning to give the skin a deep pore cleansing, while a cleansing lotion in the evening are more effective for dissolving and melting makeup out of the pores. If you'd like to start with just one, we suggest the morning gel cleanser to be used both morning and evening.

Morning Routine

We recommend a separate routine for morning and evening simply because your skin's needs differ from day to night. During the day, you want to focus on giving your skin protection from the sun and environmental abuse, while providing lightweight hydration under makeup.

Recommended Products

STEP ONE
Cleanse your skin with GENTLE GEL CLEANSER. This provides a deep pore cleansing without stripping and over-drying your skin. On damp skin, apply a dime-sized amount of gel, work through, and rinse well.

STEP TWO
Saturate a Toning Cloth with our alcohol-free REVITALIZING GINSENG TONER. Wipe over entire face. Leave your skin damp with the toner and proceed to Step Three. (By leaving your skin damp with the toner, you are giving your skin a drink of water, which is essential for healthy skin. All of our toners are alcohol-free, so they will not dehydrate the skin.)

STEP THREE
On damp skin, apply 1-2 pumps of VITAMIN C&E COMPLEX. This provides the skin with daytime antioxidant protection to prevent free radical environmental damage. A must for anti-aging!

STEP FOUR
Rub a nickel-sized amount of DAILY PROTECTION SPF #30 onto fingertips. Apply to entire face, neck and ears, (even the back of the neck for those with short hair). Our sunsblock is lightweight, greaseless, and will not clog the pores or cause breakouts!

STEP FIVE
Proceed with makeup and an eye cream or eye gel, if you prefer.

Evening Routine

We recommend a separate routine for morning and evening simply because your skin's needs differ from day than from night. In the evening, your skin is at rest and in its "repair" mode, trying to heal the environmental damage that occurred during the day. You want to focus on calming, healing, removing surface dry skin cells and absorption of performance products.

Recommended Products

STEP ONE
Apply a generous amount of ROSEMARY MINT CLEANSER to dry skin. Massage through the skin, wet fingertips, work through again, and rinse well with lukewarm water. We recommend applying the cleansing lotion to dry skin first, as cleansing lotions work to melt and dissolve makeup and oil out of the pores. If your skin is wet, it will dilute the cleanser and not perform as well. Many of our clients enjoy using our Facial Sponges, instead of a wash cloth, for a gentle cleansing.

STEP TWO
Saturate a Toning Cloth with our alcohol-free REVITALIZING GINSENG TONER. Wipe over your entire face. Leave your skin damp with the toner and proceed to Step Three.

STEP THREE
For seven nights, apply 1-2 pumps of GLYCOLIC SERUM 17% to damp skin. It may cause a mild tingling sensation, which is considered normal. By treating your skin for seven nights with our Glycolic Serum, you are exfoliating the skin by dissolving the glue that holds dry, dead skin cells together to smooth the skin, refine the pores, and accelerate cellular turnover.

You then want to discontinue using your Glycolic Serum for a week to avoid exfoliation overload. The new research indicates that when the skin is in a constant state of exfoliation, visible or invisible inflammation which can accelerate the aging process. Also, Glycolic Serum performs more effectively when not being used all of the time.

So, for the next seven nights, apply 1-2 pumps of SKIN DRINK to damp skin. Using a serum on your opposite week works to build up and feed your skin with nourishment and performance ingredients.

STEP FOUR
Apply a small amount of MULTI VITAMIN CREAM to entire face and neck.

STEP FIVE
Apply a small amount of SYNERGY EYE CREAM to the area under the eyes.

Home Mini Facial (Once a Week)

Mini Facials are a must for keeping skin healthy and smooth. Give your skin a boost with a Mini Facial once a week. Your skin will thank you for the extra attention! The proper way to perform a Mini Facial is as follows.

Recommended Products

STEP ONE
Wash your face with your morning or evening cleanser. Apply a small amount of MINT BUFFING BEADS to damp skin. Follow instructions on back of jar. (Use 3 times a week, once with your 3-step mini facial, and twice on its own; or 3 times a week, if you don’t perform your mini facial.)

STEP TWO
Apply 1-2 pumps of SKIN DRINK. Masks are designed to push serums into the skin, which is why you will get better results with your Mini Facial by using a skin serum underneath the mask.

STEP THREE
Apply a thin coat of VITAMIN C MASK to entire face. (Neck is optional). Let dry for 10-20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and apply your evening moisturizer and eye cream.
