There are a few essential steps to basic daily skin care.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, absorbs 60% of what is applied to it, and can easily become malnourished. Every day your skin needs to be nourished and treated with care.

There is definitely a lot of skin care confusion in our market today, but it actually only takes a few simple steps to maintain healthy and vibrant skin. Proper care and nourishment will take years off of your appearance later in life.

Essential Steps:

© Cleanse your face and neck every morning and night. Always cleanse in circular motions in an upward direction. Be gentle with your skin, you do not need heavy pressure to cleanse and you don’t need to use anything but your hands or a washcloth if you prefer.

© Tone your skin every time you wash your face and neck with a toner, using a cotton ball in gentle upward strokes. A toner adjusts the pH of your skin back to normal. A toner is critical in keeping your face balanced and healthy and will also remove any stubborn dirt left on your face and prepare your skin for moisturizing.

© Moisturize your face and neck every morning and night after you cleanse and tone. Always moisturize your face and neck in upward motions. Moisturizing is important for all skin types. This is the step that actually provides essential nourishment to your delicate facial skin. Use circular, upward motions with a gentle touch on your face.

Essential Extras:

© Exfoliate your skin no more than every three to five days. Exfoliate your face and neck in circular upward gentle motions with very gentle products. Remember that you are simply exfoliating off dead skin which takes very little pressure and abrasive loofahs or exfoliants are just not necessary.

© Eye Crèmes are designed to super moisturize the finest skin on your face. When you apply eye crèmes always use your ring finger or pinky to apply products around the delicate area of your eyes. Your pinky and ring finger are weak by nature and force you to apply gentle pressure.

© Mask one to two times weekly to detoxify, renew, and tighten your pores. Before you mask, it is important to cleanse and tone. Be sure to leave the mask on your face and neck for five to twenty minutes depending on the mask type. Gently and thoroughly remove the mask with warm water. After you mask always tone and moisturize your face and neck.

Everyday our skin is exposed to the sun, smoke, pollution, and toxic air. If you nourish and care for your skin it will make a difference in your appearance. Choose your skin care products carefully, as they should be designed to nourish your skin with vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Really be aware of the ingredients in your products. There are natural and/or chemical filled products in abundance. Your skin needs proper nutrients for cell growth and renewal .

The key to healthy-looking skin is a healthy body and good skin care. If you drink plenty of water, avoid caffeine, eat whole foods, and exercise, your skin will be luminescent.

Cosmetics should provide your skin with nutrition and not smother, or inhibit your skin's natural abilities.
