I don’t wear make up, and usually just wash my face and lotion. However, now that I’m getting older, I’d like to take better care of my facial complexion. What do all of you use for your daily skin care regime? Please provide step by step instructions. I’ve read that a cleaner, moisturizer, toner, etc are needed. Anything else? What order do you apply these things and what brand do you use? Thanks.
What is your basic skin care regime? What can someone use daily to improve their facial complexion?

You should definitely go have a facial and ask the ladies there, it all depends on you skin type, don’t use anything that anybody recommends because we all have different skin. I have dry sensitive skin and they told me what to use for it and my skin has never looked better!

“Cover up and avoid wind and cold,” says Katz, “But wear a cotton layer against your skin to protect against friction.”
“We take too many showers at too hot a temperature in the winter months,” says Russell. “Most people, especially the elderly, in winter should bathe once a week. You can wash where you need to for personal hygiene at a sink. And take a bath rather than a shower because a bath allows the skin to hold on to more water.”
Toombs agrees. “Use soap only in areas where you perspire,” she says. “When you shower, use warm, not hot, water, and do not use a washcloth because it may be too abrasive.”
“For dry, chapped hands with cracked cuticles, I recommend an old standby, Corn Huskers Lotion,” says Claire McArdle, RN, president of Beauty Therapies in Brookline, Mass. “It’s very soothing and easily absorbed into the skin. I’ve used it for years on my clients, and I’ve never found anything better.”
Moisturizing after a bath or shower is also important.
“When drying after bath or shower, pat dry — don’t rub,” says Toombs. “Rubbing will remove the skin cells and oils you’ve just applied. Immediately after patting dry, apply a quality cream- or ointment-based moisturizer.”

You can sign up to buy items at Arbonne and get everything for 35% off. Also if you spend over $100 you get any item there for free and they also offer for $20 you get up to another $100 in items. It’s a great incentive – and 45 days to return it all if it’s not for you.
I use the nutrimin c re9 regime. I have had amazing results.
I use a hydrating wash, spray on toner, a lift, serum and eye cream, and spf cream.
At night I do the same and omit the lift and add a night cream. My face/skin has never been better.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

1st – wash your face with a good cleanser, I prefer organic-based products, being that their free of harmful chemicals, and alcohol.) Make sure while washing to do your hands in upward circles. You always want to make sure you do it this way being that tugging down on your skin can damage and wrinkle your face.
2nd – Apply a toner. There are 2 application types. One is a spray that you mist your face with, the other you apply with a cotton ball. Let this soak into your face,
3rd – If using an eyecream apply in a patting motion around the eye. Be sure not to tug harshly this is the most delicate area of skin on the body.
4th – While the toner is still dewy (the above the same) Put a dime size amount of moisturizer on the upper part of fingers (from the middle knuckle to the tips) run your hands together making sure to only get the fingers then apply to face in the same circular motions as with washing. I don’t completely rub mine in, I leave it slightly and let my skin naturally absorb it. Don’t forget to do the same with your neck (but use swipping downward motions here)
Hope this helps you!

BeautiControl has spa quality products and are perfect for any skin type (dry, oily or comb.). They target the age of your skin. They have three main lines, Skinlogics (under 30), Skinlogics Gold (30+), and Skinlogics Platinum (over 40′s skin). As well as All Clear for acne and Skin Equations for sensitive skin.
Recommended is the M.R.P. approach for total skin wellness:
M = Maintenance:
*Cleanser
*Tonic
*Scrub
*Moisturizer
R = Repair:
Exfoliant
*Microderm Abrasion
*Chemical Peel
*Regeneration products – all are broken out in the different skin ages as well.
P = Prevention:
Sunscreen with broad spectrum protection of spf 20 or more.
* Cell Block-C a.m. has spf 20 and also contains vitamin c, an antioxidant.
*Eye cream/moisturizer
As far as order of application this is what is recommended, and it is also what I follow:
morning—
cleanser
tonic/toner
(regeneration product)
prevention product (cell block-c)
moisturizer
Eye moisturizer
evening—
cleanser
tonic
scrub (2-3 times per week), regeneration product (days I don’t use the others), microderm (once per week) and/or chemical peel (once a week)
moisturizer
Eye moisturizer
Hope that helps!
I could send a free sample of the maintenance. My ID# is 1088402, if you care to shop with me. Otherwise, feel free to browse products.

A basic skin care routine should be. . .
Cleanse, Toner, Nourish, Moisturize
Day time & Night time routine are similar, but not exact
Day time
CLEANSE
Gentle cleanser
Deep scrub 1-2 times a week (oily skin 3x/week)
Toner
NOURISH
hydrating vitamin mist
alpha/beta hydroxy serum
MOISTURIZE
Eye Gel
Moisturizer
One a week. . . . . . . Enzyme Exfoliator
Once a month A masque to draw out dirt & impurites, exfoliate, hydrate, nourish & soften skin
NIGHT TIME
Makeup removing Cleanser
Toner
NOURISH
hydrating vitamin mist
alpha/beta hydroxy serum
MOISTURIZE
Eye Gel
Moisturizer
This is very basic. The type of product you use will depend on your skin type and age. Cleanser, toner & Moisturizer should be customized for your skin type. If you have problematic skin, then products should be adjusted.
If you are over 35 you should be using an anti-aging line.
Eye Gel should be changed to an creme, 15SPF day time moisturizer is a must. Night Time moisturizer need to be a night repairing complex. Products should contain peptides.
In my way over 50 years of living I have tried many different product lines, from drugstore products, to department store cosmetic counter products, to home show products, to boutique products. 7 years ago, I found Aloette. I have never been more impressed with a skin care line. A few years ago the Platinum anti-aging line was introduce, and it is awesome. Products do not just sit on the cuticle of your skin. They actually work their way down through every skin cell layer you have to treat, nourish, moisturize all of you skin cells. That makes such an enormous difference in the look, feel & health of your skin.
