Simple Skin Care Recommendations
Here is what you can do to ensure optimal penetration of active ingredients:
- Cleanse your skin before applying skin care products. The best time to apply skin care products is after you are fresh out of a warm shower or bath because not only is your skin clean but it is also thoroughly moist and should better absorb whatever you apply to it. CAUTION: Do not wash your skin with hot water, excessive heat accelerates skin aging. The water should be comfortably warm but not hot.
- It is best to apply most products when the skin is moist because active ingredients can penetrate better when they are dissolved.
- Don't wipe your skin dry after you cleansed or washed it if you intend to apply products. If the skin is too wet, just pat a little with a towel.
- Warm skin absorbs ingredients better. Before applying a product, make sure your skin isn't cold. Apply a warm towel if needed.
- For most people, a gentle scrub that provides mild exfoliation without doing any harm is a safe and sensible alternative. Furthermore, an excellent facial scrub can be done using very low cost natural materials. For instance, table sugar can be used to prepare a scrub that is mild, safe, effective and refreshing. It enhances the absorption of active skin care ingredients without damaging your skin. Facial scrub should not be used more than four times a week.

Rosacea
Acne Rosacea is a medical disorder different than adolescent Acne. It tends to occur in middle aged adults mostly in women. It begins with break outs in the apple areas of the cheeks, which gives the patient a flushed appearance. Acne eruptions may be in the T-zone from the forehead to the chin. There are many variations from subtle redness to full-blown Acne scarring eruptions.
Oil Control
Topical products can control some of the oil production but Accutane (a prescription drug) can diminish oil production. The mineral makeup on any skin type is the most pure and none irritating makeup and will reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines. Because this unique powder contains no pigment, you can use it on the lightest to the deepest skin tone.
