Cleanser

Apply dime size to damp skin and massage over face and neck. Rinse with warm
water. Cleanse twice at night (especially for acne-prone or oily skin),
1 minute each (2 minutes total). The 1st wash removes excess oil,
dirt, make-up & impurities. The 2nd wash cleanses deep into
pores. Cleanser can be used alone or mixed with a facial scrub. Use A.M. and
P.M. 

Exfoliation

Gently polish away dead skin cells to leave your skin feeling smooth. Exfoliation also helps aid in better absorption of products. Apply to clean, damp skin or mix in with your cleanser and gently massage over face and neck. Depending on your skin conditions, use at least once a week. Don’t forget to exfoliate the crease of your nose, temples, and under jaw line!

Chemical

Also known as a peel. This form of exfoliation could include various hydroxy acids (i. E. Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid), Retinol, or enzymes. Each type of exfoliation contains different properties that improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. 

Mechanical

This type of exfoliation uses gentle scrubbing beads to loosen dead skin cells and smooth out skin texture. A combination of both mechanical and chemical exfoliation can be a great option for your skin! Ask your esthetician which is best for your skin type!

Toner

This step hydrates, balances and preps skin. Spray evenly over the face and neck used throughout the day to refresh your skin. Do not let the toner dry! Apply serum on damp skin.

Serum

Super concentrated ingredients, depending on the concentration can increase hydration level, firm skin, improve skin texture, clear the skin, and prevent signs of aging.  Depending on the serum, it can be used in the morning, and/or at night. Use before moisturizer and after a toner (toner should not dry when applied). Toner, serum, moisturizer.

Mask

Depending on the mask, it can increase hydration, promote firming, reduce sensitivity, deep clean, and/or provide multiple vitamins & antioxidants. Apply a thin layer to a clean face and neck for 10-15 minutes (1-2 times per week).  Use a mask after cleansing and exfoliating your skin, but before all other products. After you rinse off the mask, apply the rest of your regimen in the proper order.

Easy Skin Care Tips

With our busy life’s sometimes we don’t give our skin proper attention it deserves. To take care of your skin between regular visits to your esthetician (i.e. Irina, Adriana, or Lana),  follow these easy at home skin care tips.

  • Start with Cleanser – apply a small amount (about dime size) to a damp skin and massage over face and throat. Rinse with lukewarm water.  Removes excessive oil, dirt, make-up, and impurities. Can be used alone or mixed with a facial scrub. Use A.M. and P.M.
  • Continue with Toner – apply evenly over the face and throat after cleansing and immediately apply serum and/or moisturizer (do not let the toner dry!)   Hydrates and balances skin. Use A.M. and P.M. Also can be used throughout the day.
  • Finish with Moisturizer -apply right after the toner or serum to the face and throat using upward strokes.  Morning moisturizer has to have (at least) SPF15 or use a separate sun protection cream.  Depending on moisturizer concentration it can provide extra hydration, nourishment, firming affect, and protects against environmental aggressions. Use A.M. and P.M.
  • At least once a week Exfoliate – gently polishes away dead skin cells, leaving a soft, smooth skin with a better absorption of treatments and products. Apply to a cleansed, damp skin or mix with your cleanser and gently massage over face and throat. Depending on skin conditions use at lease once a week.
  • Once or twice a week use a Mask – apply a thin, even layer to a clean face and throat for 10-15 minutes. Depending on a mask it can increase hydration, firm, reduce sensitivity, deep clean, and provide multiple antioxidants.
  • Fore even better results use Serum – super concentrated ingredients, depending on the concentration can increase hydration level, firm the skin, improve skin texture, clear the skin, and prevent sings of aging.  Use at night or in the morning before moisturizer after a toner.
  • And don’t forget about the Eye Cream- gently tap a small amount around the eye area, blending inward from the outer corner. Improves and/or prevents fine lines, hydrates, and reduces puffiness. Can use A.M and P.M.
