She Knows the Truth

Skin Care Myths or

Don’t Waste Your Money

Part II

“(The role of) a skin care professional has a large educational component that mandates remaining current in the field, as well as providing education on skin health to clients and patients…(We) are not selling hope in a jar, but rather providing realistic and truthful solutions to help deal with extrinsic and intrinsic aging.”

Here are 5 important facts from an article in Skin Inc.
by Carol and Rob Trow:

1. Be careful how you wash your face. Overuse of scrubs can remove protective oils and contribute to aging.  Less is more, and a gentle cleanser and light moisturizer work well for most people.
2. Packaging IS important — not for aesthetic reasons, but to protect the integrity of the ingredients. Don’t waste your money on clear or transparent containers.
3. There is NO evident that the topical application of collagen or elastin can penetrate the dermis.
   
4. If a product sounds too good to be true, the claims are probably false. Skin damage and signs of aging cannot be repaired quickly.
   
5. Less is more when it comes to skin care products.  You should use only what you need, usually about a pea-sized dot.

I know that skin care products are expensive but I hope you
get an expert’s opinion about what is best FOR YOU.

Have you bought some products, even expensive ones,
and then been disappointed?

Ageless Eyes

Ageless Remedies Med Spa
Products for Your Eyes 

Why are the products you get at our med spa  better?    

Because professional products are made of 
ingredients that get real results.
The formulations are based on scientific research.
And a knowledgable skin care professional chooses
the best product for you.    

And then she explains how to use them:    

How to Use Your Eye Products

• Apply eye products AM and PM after cleansing and before “facial” treatment
  products, since this protects the eye area and uses only products designed
  for this delicate tissue.     

• Use only a small pea size amount for application—
  Less is always more in this area.     

• Begin application at outer area, working inward towards your nose.
  (This reduces pulling or tension on delicate tissue.)     

• Pat in product with light tapping motion. (Index, ring or little fingers
   are recommended).     

• Pat remaining product lightly under brow area with light tapping motion.
  (Apply from inside out with light patting motion.)     

• Extra eye product can go on and around lip area for great benefits.
This is my personal favorite…I hate to waste product.
