WHETHER YOU ONLY WANT A 2-STEP ROUTINE OR 7, WE RECOMMEND THE
BELOW ORDER FOR MAXIMUM BENEFITS. EACH AND EVERY STEP WILL HAVE
AN IMPACT ON YOUR SKIN AND EFFECT THE WAY IT LOOKS AND FEELS.
|
CLEANSING SKIN SHOULD BE THE BASIS OF YOUR ROUTINE In the evening, it is important to remove make-up and impurities, but also dead skin and excess oils. Morning cleansing, on the other hand, refreshes the skin and also eliminates toxins that might have accumulated on the skin overnight. Cleansing also prepares your skin for better absorption of skincare products. Choosing the right cleanser is essential. Majority of cleansers not only contain harmful toxic chemicals, but they also strip your face of its essential oils and acidic barrier that protects your face from bacteria and evironmental pollution. That barrier is very important in your skin's health and overall appearance. Harming it can not only make your skin dry, and thus looking older, but also prone to rashes and other skin issues. Our VITA C cleanser will not strip your face off its essential oils, and disrupt its happy pH level as it does not contain detergent-like ingredients nor any harmful ingredients. It will cleanse your face effectively leaving it hydrated and refreshed. For extra benefits, we have added an eight-fold antioxidant protection, which refines skin texture, and helps protect your skin from the abuse of elements. Toxins and environmental pollution are one of the biggest reasons we age. Why piling them up on your skin!? Reveal radiance and enjoy a healthier and cleaner skin with VITA C. It is safe for any skin type including acne. |

EXFOLIATING SKIN IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT, YET OFTEN NEGLECTED, STEPS IN SKIN CARE. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that not only accumulate on the top of your skin and prevent all the expensive ingredients from permeating into deeper layer of your skin, but also make your skin dull and pasty looking. When we are young, our skin cells turn over every 21 to 28 days, but as we age, this process takes longer and longer. When we reach our 40ies, every 50 + days, which is why it is very important to exfoliate. Jojo Beads will help you shed those stubborn old dead skin cells allowing for better penetration and absorption of other skincare products as well as helping you reveal a fresher look. In addition, microdermabrasion will also help you invigorate and thicken skin by helping with collagen production which will result in younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin that is most abundant when we are very young. Our skin is then most smooth and taut. Its production declines with age, resulting in looser, uneven skin. With consistent use of our microdermabrasion cream, you will improve your skin texture in addition to the appearance of age spots, black heads, fine lines and pores. Use this product in the PM twice or three times a week before or after cleansing or in between when double cleansing. |

REBALANCE, HYDRATE AND REFRESH YOUR SKIN AFTER CLEANSING AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY
In general, toner is used to rebalance skin's PH level if you use a harsh cleanser. If you use a cleanser such as our Vita C, you do not need to worry about that, but many cleansers can indeed strip your face of their pH level, and using a toner will help you rebalance it. A toner can also be used to remove what's left after cleansing. Marine Rejuvenator, not only does this, but this versatile product can be also used to revitalize your skin and replenish hydration throughout the day.
You are going to love how refreshing this toner and facial mist is! It can be used over the make-up, and in fact, Marine Rejuvenator will help you set it. Feel free to mist it as you go through the day and your make-up will stay! Use it as your step 1 upon waking up or as step 2 upon cleansing. Use it throughout the day to hydrate and rebalance your skin throughout the day or refresh post workout. Your face will love these gentle yet healing ingredients straight from the marine world.

APPLY A SERUM BEFORE A MOISTURIZER Serums contain a high concentration of certain ingredients, such as Vitamin C, Retinol, Peptides, Stem Cells. They penetrate skin better and protect it from free radicals as well as help repair it. Depending on their content, they should be applied in the AM or PM or both. We carry 4 different serums. Super Hyro C to be used in the AM, and Brightening Hydration or Retinol Smoother in the PM. Our Peptides Repair serum/treatment can be used both in the AM and PM after the application of the other serums and before or instead of a moisturizer. Our serums are also double sized, so they last longer. Email us or talk to one of our consultants if you are not sure how to use the products. |

SKIN UNDER THE EYES REQUIRES A SPECIAL TREATMENT
The skin around your eyes tends to be thinner and more sensitive than the rest of your face. It is also prone to signs of aging more, including fine lines, puffiness, and darkness. A good eye cream, such as Cutting Edge, will brighten, smooth, hydrate and firm up the area. |
|
ONE BUT LAST STEP IN YOUR SKIN CARE Depending on the number of skincare products you choose to use, a moisturizer is to be used as your last step in your routine, but before sunscreen, unless you choose to use a facial oil. A moisturizer is used to lock in moisture and to soothe and soften skin. Dry skin types should opt for heavier moisturizers, such as our the Reverse. Normal or oily skin types, Peptide Complex or 2.5% Retinol Power. |
YOU MAY WANT TO ADD A FACIAL OIL OF YOUR CHOICE
Oils are best suited for dry skin. Our moisturizers contain them, but if you would like to add extra, apply over your moisturizer and best if at night time or after a facial and masking. We do not offer facial oils in our store.
SKIN DO NOT FORGET ABOUT A SUNSCREEN
We did not include SPF as the last step in the above suggested skincare regimen, but we do recommend Zinc Oxide based SPF. It is the only natural SPF that will protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays by blocking them or "scattering" the rays instead of penetrating skin. Studies have shown that chemicals used in sunscreen, such as PABA, Oxybenzone, Cinnamates, and more can create damaging free radicals and ironically increase the risk of skin cancer. Chemical sunscreens have been also linked with hormone disruption. They can act like estrogen and increase the risk of for example breast cancer. Be mindful of the fact that chemical sunscreens have the potential of penetrating skin and getting inside the body (1). In 2008, CDC ( Centers for Disease Control) revealed that 97% of Americans are contaminated with oxybenzone that has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage. A companion study published just one day earlier revealed that this chemical is linked to low birth weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy (2).
