Dry, Sensitive Skin? You’ll Love This Cleanser

Cleansing creams have long been known for their ability to effectively dissolve and digest makeup (especially foundation) and to thoroughly clean the skin; however, they often contained pore-clogging ingredients such as Mineral Oil and were often, “wipe-off” formulas.  They also left a heavy residue on skin that made it difficult for a toner, serum and moisturizer to properly penetrate the skin. 

Our Calming Chamomile Cleanser is a cleansing lotion for sensitive skin that was created to effectively remove makeup, but contain lighter emollients designed with a “rinse-off” formula that doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue.

It provides soothing comfort to skin with redness, irritation, and rosacea-like symptoms. This lotion-like cleanser gently dissolves oil, dirt, and makeup without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue behind.

Do You Have Rosacea? We Can Help.

Anti-Redness Treatment address the principle influences that lead to chronically red skin and other aggravating factors linked to rosacea. This exclusive complex cools heat-activated skin, lessens puffiness, while discomfort and surface tenderness are also brought under control.  Anti-Redness Treatment also helps to avert future flare-ups and limit the growth of undesirable flora and lipase- enzymes known to trigger redness episodes.

Unlike moisturizers, serums have a smaller molecular structure for maximum delivery deep within the skin providing the best results. Results are apparent within one to four weeks of daily use.

Wake Up Your Skin with a Splash of Cold Water

Sleep deprived? There’s nothing better to wake up your skin and your mind than splashing your face with very cold water. Lack of sleep interferes with proper blood flow to the skin making the complexion sallow so the cold water will give a quick boost of circulation to get your skin looking fresh.

Also, studies show that using mint (peppermint and spearmint) as an ingredient in skin care products can increase mental alertness for a morning pick-me-up. Additionally, mint helps to stimulate blood circulation to bring new nutrients to the skin cells… Read more

How Will Your Skin Age? It’s Based on Your Ethnicity

For every ethnicity, you’re prone to certain skin characteristics. Here is what you can expect:

Light skin tone (for example: Norwegian, Swedish, Scottish, Irish)- small pores, thin skin, prone to dryness, prone to sensitivity, less likely to develop acne, prone to redness, visible capillaries, increased chance of getting rosacea, more surface fine lines and wrinkles  but with fewer deep lines.

Medium skin tone (for example, French, Italian, Russian, Asian)-thicker skin, large pores, more deep wrinkles but less fine lines, oily/combination skin, increased chance of getting acne,  prone to discoloration/brown spots, under eye puffiness, loss of skin tone (sagging) with age, and a tendency towards dull, tired-looking skin.

Dark skin tone (for example, African American, Indian, Middle Eastern)-dark circles under the eyes, post-breakout dark marks that linger, oily skin, large pores, increased chance of getting acne, facial hair for adult women, fewer noticeable lines and wrinkles, and loss of skin tone (sagging) with age.

Every person and every skin is different, so these are generalizations.
