30's skin!

 skin practices you should do away with and begin practing when you hit your dirty 30's.

1) Up your routine to include 6 steps...pre-cleanse, cleanse ,tone, serum,  micro-exfoliation, am&pm moisturizer.

2) AVOID-using hot water in the shower to cleanse your face. BEGIN to cleanse at the sink with barely warm water. The cooler the better.

3) Make a budget for regular facials.

4) Avoid using oil stripping products such as lathery gel cleansers and scrubs that leave the skin feeling squeaky clean. Squeaky doesn't equal clean .

5) Don't skip using a toner, and avoid toners with alcohols and synthetic acids.

6) Eliminate the usage of cleansing wipes.

7) Don't use a sunscreen on the face at night. Use one for day, and one for night. Or you can also use a solo sunscreen and cocktail it with your am moisturizer!

8) Understand that when it comes to a skincare system…there is no one size fits all because your skin care is your clothing for your face. And as we switch up our wardrobe to accommodate the changing climates we must do the same for our skin.

9) Be sure to never skip cleansing in the morning. It's  just as important.

10) Stop treating acne/breakouts with acne skincare. Over the age of 30 your breakouts become hormonal which needs to be treated differently that teenage acne.

11) Find a good Esthie, and make her/him your best friend for life!!

cheers to you 30's
