What constitutes a good facial skin care regimen?

In our office, we offer SkinCeuticals facial products. So let’s look at a typical regimen using these products.

Your morning regiment should begin with a cleanser. For dry skin, we recommend SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser. Oily skin would benefit from the Purifying Cleanser. The next step is to feed your skin with vitamin C and other antioxidants. CE Ferulic provides these environment-fighting ingredients and potentiates your sunscreen. You may also desire a nourishing anti-aging moisturizer, such as A.G.E. or Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. The final product is the most important, your sunscreen. Skinceuticals’ Physical Fusion UV Defense comes in sheer or universal tint. Applying sunscreen to your face, neck and chest daily may be one of the most important methods to prevent aging. Sunscreen is not just for the beach or pool. You can incur sun damage driving your car!

Your evening regimen also begins with a good cleanser to remove all makeup and the day’s impurities. SkinCeuticals Replenishing Cleanser is excellent at removing stubborn makeup, while maintaining moisture. An essential product to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, skin texture and blemishes is Retinol. This product comes in three strengths so that you can choose the best fit for your skin type. You should begin applying Retinol two to three times a week and moving toward every other night. You will likely experience some flaking and redness as the old you sloughs off and the new skin underneath is revealed. An exfoliating scrub, such as Clarifying Exfoliating Cleanser or Micro-Exfoliating Scrub, will help with removing the flaky dead skin. Between your Retinol treatments, we recommend the concentrated night antioxidant serum, Resveratrol BE, to enhance radiance and firmness. You may finish your night regimen with one of the buttery, nourishing moisturizers mentioned above. Don’t forget your neck and chest!
