Teen Skincare!

If you're in your teens, you are just at the right time to start taking care of your skin properly. This will help avoid skin care problems caused by improper habits. It doesn't take a lot of time, and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. Teen skin care differs from your mom's skin care, so don't rely on her facial cleansers which are most likely not meant for your skin type.

Protect your skin.

Use sun screen. We all know that sun screen protects your skin from the sun, and this obviously reduces your chance of skin cancer. Did you also know that this reduces your chance of signs of early aging? 90% of premature aging is caused by the sun. Sure, it may not be something that you are thinking of when you’re in your teens, but you'll be glad you did in 15 years. Apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15 (I recommend higher) when you're out in the sun or driving around with your friends and don't forget to reapply.

Ditch the bar soap you have in your shower.

Find a facial cleanser that's best for your skin type. Do you have oily skin? Many teens find that oily skin is their main concern, so look for a gel based cleanser if this is your problem. There are many affordable ones out there which include Salicylic Acid which helps clear acne. Make sure you wash your face in the morning and at night. You never want to sleep in your makeup.

Moisturize your face.

The idea that those with oily skin don't need a moisturizer is just plain false. What you do need is a light oil-free moisturizer to put on after you cleanse. Always moisturize after you wash and tone your face.

Use a weekly mask and a weekly Exfoliater.

A mask deep cleanses, while an Exfoliater removes the dry, dead skin cells. When choosing a mask, look for a clay mask like Peter Thomas Roth Sulfur Cooling Mask which will open pores and clean deep down. A weekly to Exfoliater will encourage new skin to grow healthier. Try facelogic Daily Advanced Peel or Eminence Pear and Poppy seed Microderm Polisher. Make sure you are gentle; if you over scrub, your skin may break out even further and dry out.

Men’s Skin Care Through the Ages

Men can pamper their skin too!


Admit it men! Most of you view a skin care regimen as a wash cloth and the same bar of soap you use in the shower. But regardless of gender, there is so much more involved in caring for your skin - and in fact, men are just as prone to skin ailments and premature aging as women.



The earlier you start caring for your skin, the better, if you want to keep it looking healthy or improve its condition. Looking after your skin is much easier than it was in the past, because nowadays there are so many more products on the market that are designed specifically for men. With everything from facial cleansers to exfoliators in “men friendly” container and scents filling up the shelves, you no longer have an excuse not to perform regular maintenance! Specially formulated 2 in 1 products for men are convenient to use and even Men’s facials are starting to be the number one service for men in spas!

Great Skin at Any Age

Nobody really likes looking like last year's luggage. Nearly everyone with a crocodile complexion could have prevented it.

For both men and women, the aging process can cause the skin to go through many different changes. Hormones, the environment and how well we take care of our skin all impact how we age, and it’s important to remember that what our skin needed as a teenager is quite different from what it will need when we're 30, 40 and even 50 - for example, acne breakouts are (hopefully!) a thing of the past, but we’ll have to start thinking about fine lines and wrinkles. And so it goes on, as do the years.

Tips for maintaining healthy, beautiful skin

As we age our skin goes through some dramatic changes. From the moment we hit puberty, we need to start taking good care of our skin bodies if we want to remain youthful into menopause and beyond.Starting the skincare process early will help hold off the signs of aging, and allow you to retain the soft, toned skin you’ve enjoyed in your youth.

The first defense against aging skin is cleansing. Washing you face twice daily with cool water and a good cleanser will keep your pores clear of dirt and oil and allow your skin to breathe. You will also decrease the occurrence of unsightly blemishes. The most important factor in choosing skin care products is to make sure it matches your skin type.
