Normal
Skin System
Normal skin needs to be nourished and
supported so it can be translucent and glowing. Normal skin is
alive and it changes from day to day, week to week, and month to
month. Your life style, stress, diet, medication,
make up and hormones all affect your skin. To have
beautiful, radiant, youthful, glowing skin is the goal of most
people. To achieve this goal requires an ongoing, daily focus and
routine that can be fun, interesting and expanding. As your life
changes, your face changes, therefore, it is important to change your
facial routine to match your current life style. There are a few
areas that always seem to require extra attention and care: the
eyes, the nose, the chin, and the forehead.

Dry Mature Skin
As we grow older, our
skin experiences several significant changes. The skin’s natural
support system begins to break down, causing fine lines, wrinkles and
loss of elasticity. Additionally, the skin’s surface begins to show
dark and light spots, roughness and redness. Even though our skin
does age through time, research has shown that 90% of premature aging is
due to harmful environmental elements, particularly UV radiation or sun
exposure, as well as stress, pollution, smoking, pesticides, diet and
other modern day hazards. Your skin needs extra support from a good
skin care routine if you have any of the following symptoms: you have
fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, forehead, neck, you
notice skin discoloration, your skin appears to be thinner with visible
capillaries, or your skin feels rough and looks dull or lacks luster.

Acne or Oily Prone Skin
There are several
things that contribute to oily skin and enlarged pores. Genetics,
hot or humid weather, some medications, cosmetic ingredients, and/or diet
can generate oily skin. Stress can also trigger the over production
of skin oil by stimulating excessive hormone production. Dead skin cells
fall into your skin pores and mix with excess oil and bacteria
grows. The skin becomes inflamed causing skin blemishes or acne
within 24 to 48 hours. This inflammation may be in the form of
large visible eruptions. If your skin becomes shiny and/or greasy a
few hours after cleansing then your oil glands are over producing.
If your enlarged pores become clogged, you will experience blemishes or
breakouts.
