luxurybeautybar Beautiful skin at any age Nov 8, 2011 11:50 PM With so many skincare products to chose from, it's hard to know what your skin needs and why. The key to getting and keeping healthy beautiful skin and successful skincare regimen is knowing when to change your products when your skin changes. CLEANSERS Skin Types: All Function: A good facial cleanser will remove makeup, dirt and oil without stripping your skin of its essential oils. Removing these impurities helps unclog pores and keep your skin clear. Considerations: It's important to choose a cleanser that complements your skin type. Purifying gel cleansers work best for oily and combination skin, while creamy cleansers suit dry skin. Sensitive skin types should opt for soothing, irritant-free formulas. If you're prone to acne, look for a face wash that's specially formulated with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Use: Most dermatologists recommend using a cleanser both morning and evening; however, extremely sensitive skin types may only require an evening cleanse. Buffing Grains For Face A true skincare innovation.These luxurious grains can be mixed with any Bobbi Brown cleanser or water to create a fully customized, gentle exfoliator for the face. Fresh Soy skincare kit What it is: A set of soy facial products with everything you need to cleanse, treat, and moisturize the face.

EXFOLIATORS & MASKS [caption id="attachment_1501" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Masks Deep Cleanse and Shrink the Pores"] [/caption] Skin Types: All Function: Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and toxins that build up over time, dulling your skin, blocking pores and even causing acne. Considerations: A good exfoliate will brighten and smooth skin without irritating it. Gentle scrubs polish away dead skin and increase blood and lymph circulation, whereas a mild glycolic toner stimulates cell renewal without irritating your skin but requires a washcloth or exfoliating mask to remove the dead skin cells. If you have sensitive skin, opt for a nonabrasive gel-based peel. Mud masques are a great in between spa visits, treatment to deep cleanse the skin. Use: Although frequency varies by product and skin type, two to three times a week is usually sufficient. Apply after washing your face, while your skin is still wet.

This power-packed mask from BIOELEMENTS unclogs pores, controls excess oils, destroys acne-causing bacteria and heals existing blemishes. More Borghese... TONERS Skin Types: All, especially oily or acne-prone. Function: A quality toner or astringent will remove excess surface oils and makeup residue that can lead to blemishes. It will also refine pores and improve skin tone. Considerations: Mild toners are ideal for acne-prone skin, because they dry out blemishes and remove excess oil. Look for a product with salicylic, glycolic or hydroxy acids, which will whisk away impurities, but be careful of an astringent with too much alcohol, since dried-out skin can produce more oil. Use: After cleansing, apply toner with a cotton pad once daily.   STEP 4. SERUMS Skin Types: All Function: A good serum (or concentrate) not only helps minimize the visible signs of aging and restores luminosity to skin, it can boost the effectiveness of your moisturizer to promote brighter, smoother skin. Considerations: Serums provide a range of targeted benefits, so be sure to get one that fits your age and skin criteria. For aging skin, opt for a wrinkle treatment with collagen-stimulating properties. To combat dry skin, look for an intensive hydrating serum. Choose brightening serums to even out skin tone. Use: Apply one to two pumps to your face and neck before moisturizing morning and night. Apply any excess to the back of your hands, since that area often ages first. Obagi Professional-C Serum Obagi is a best selling physician grade skin care range. This excellent serum delivers the highest possible level of Vitamin C to stimulate collagen production and brighten skin tone. The professional C-serum is offered in three strengths of which this is the highest, helps prevent premature signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, and contributes to collagen synthesis.

Function: Quality moisturizers infuse skin with smoothing hydrators and nourishing vitamins, so you look healthy and radiant year-round. Once properly hydrated, skin becomes the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application. Considerations: Dry-skin types should use richer, more emollient creams to alleviate itchy dryness. Combination and oily skin also require moisturizer, but look for lighter, oil-free products like lotions and gels. Acne-prone skin will benefit from a hydrator with anti-bacterial properties. Use: Massage as needed into clean, serum-treated skin in an upward motion.

STEP 6. EYE CARE Skin Types: All, including men's. Function: Eye creams and serums are specially formulated to address the needs of the thinner, more delicate skin near the eye area, including repairing and preventing fine lines and wrinkles. Some also combat puffiness and dark circles caused by fatigue and environmental elements. Considerations: Like serums, eye treatments usually target specific concerns, so choose one that addresses your individual needs, be it anti-wrinkle and firming, soothing and brightening, or a combination of these. Use: For best results, use morning and night. Starting from the inner corner, gently dab a small amount around the orbital area with your ring finger. Also, the product will travel, so be careful not to apply too close to the lash line. More Bobbi Brown... STEP 7. NIGHT TREATMENTS Skin Types: All, especially those in need of reparative assistance. Function: Night treatments work as you sleep to repair skin while it is in a relaxed state. Also, you can use more powerful products like retinols and vitamin C at night to avoid skin sensitivity to the sun. Considerations: Choose a night treatment that specifically targets your skincare concern. If your complexion is dull or uneven, look for products enriched with vitamin C, which stimulates collagen growth. If you have wrinkle- or acne-prone skin, use a retinol formula to smooth out the skin's surface. Also consider a high-performance night moisturizer for vibrant, dewy skin by morning. Use: Apply at night to a clean face and neck, avoiding the eye area. More Estee Lauder... STEP 8. TOOLS Skin Types: All skin types can benefit from at least one type of tool. Function: Skincare brushes, acne-light devices and laser hair-removal tools target specific concerns for quick, effective results—without an expensive trip to the spa. They also help skincare products suffuse the skin for exceptional results. Considerations: Skincare brushes provide gentle, yet deep cleansing and prepare the skin to absorb vital nutrients. Acne devices use light therapy to kill bacteria and clear blemished skin. At-home hair-removal tools use laser technology to permanently stop hair growth. Use: Always read the tools instructions before use to avoid irritation. Pay special attention to the instructions in relation to your skincare products—these two should work in tandem to promote beautiful skin.
