Note that when using any product it will go further and work better when used on damp skin. This means that you will use less product than recommended on the bottle.
Evening
- Use a gentle cleanser such as Dermed surface lotion cleanser or Janson Beckett organic cleansing milk to remove any make-up, dirt, grime, pollutants,or sweat from the day. Wash your hands, rinse, add a small amount of product to your hands and wash over entire face. Cleanse with the magic mitt (available at Skin Deep. A antimicrobial cloth to clean your skin) or cleansing pads. I recommend you do not use a face cloth as the detergent it was washed in can be released when the cloth is wet, this can irritate sensitive and acne prone skin.
- Second treatment cleansing. The first cleanser was to remove surface impurities and to prevent these impurities from going deeper into the skin with the treatment cleanser. The treatment cleanser is to cleanses and treat the skin at a deeper level. Skin Deep recommends Dermedacne, sensitive, dull and or dry. These cleansers clean deep into the skin and help to correct problem skin. You will notice the differences right away. apply and remove same as first cleanser.
- While the skin is still damp add a small amount of Dermed or Janson Beckett toner for your skin type to your magic mitt or damp cleansing pad and apply to skin. Note that all toner are not made the same. The purpose of a toner is to replace your acid mantel which is the protective barrier of your skin. This protective barrier is broken when washed with water and takes your skin 6 to 16 hours to replace it, leaving your skin exposed to the elements which will do damage to your skin over time. Therefore, it is important to make sure the toner you are using is pH balanced. You want to apply the toner to damp skin. Leaving the skin damp.
- Now you will add treatment serums if recommend for your skin care regime. This would be Intensive lightening serum,( which is a must for anyone receiving or planning to receive advanced chemical peels) this serum can be used as a spot treatment on dark spots and or all over if being used as a prep for facials, Vital C serum,( this is a potent antioxidant use to strengthen the collagen in the skin. It is one of the few topical products that has the ability to support the collagen system helping to prevent sagging in the skin. Dermed Vital C serum comes in an airless pump. This is very important. The form of vitamin C in this product is L-ascorbic acid,which when exposed to air, the antioxidant value becomes unproductive making unbeneficial to the skin. Dermed's packaging does not allow air to get into the product. Making it very effective until completely used.),and or anti acne serums. Apply small amount to damp skin.
- Apply a small amount of eye serum around the eye area. Making sure to put some on the glabella. (a.k.a. as your 11 or frown lines). Janson Beckett Dermal excel 7 is the Cadillac of eye serums. If you have not tried this product then you are missing out. It helps to stretch out your Botox treatments. Okusil by Janson Beckett on the under and over eye area. It helps to tighten the skin. Remember you need a small amount. Pat gently into the skin with your ring finger.
- Apply 1/2 pump of Janson Beckett Skin Prep. This product will help you to maintain the moisture in the skin. When you are using treatment products and receiving treatment services moisture will escape the skin. It is very important to replace it constantly. I love Janson Beckett Skin Prep because it contains hylauronic acid, which occurs naturally in the skin to bind water to the skin. This is diminished when we expose our skin to the elements and more advanced skin care treatments. The Skin Prep also contains trace vitamins and minerals which are very beneficial to the skin. It is great for all skin types, even oily.
- Apply night cream. This is an important step. The skin does not produce moisture when you sleep. Skin Deep offers Janson Beckett anti aging Night cream or Dermed depending on your skin type. Apply a small amount to damp skin.
- Now look in the mirror and tell yourself one positive thing about yourself. You're done!
Morning Skin Care
- This is the best time to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation is one of the key steps in anti aging the skin. The skin renews its self while you sleep, pushing old skin cells to the surface of the skin. Exfoliation helps to remove the build up of dead skin cell, stimulates circulation which brings oxygen and nourishment to the skin, while helping to eliminate toxins, leaving the skin polished and allowing other beneficial ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. Soft net deep cleanser by Nelly Du Vuyst is our most popular skin exfoliant. Apply a very small amount on a soft facial brush that has been wetted with warm water. Use the brush in soft circular motion all over the face and neck. You will love this step. It can be done in the shower as well. Rinse the skin with the magic mitt or a cleansing pad when done. Leave skin damp.Note when you are finished using your brush rinse it out with warm water and store on a clean cloth brush side down. This allows the brush to drain and dry out. Do not store with the cap over the bristles. The cap is used to protect the bristles on the brush when traveling.
