 Why do
I need to thoroughly cleanse my face and pores?
The skin's natural moisturizer (sebum & perspiration)
is very beneficial to the skin, however, in time, it oxidizes on the
surface of the skin, becomes sticky, changes color and can even
produce an odor. As the natural moisturizer becomes sticky, it can
attract airborne impurities and pollutants. Therefore, it is
important to thoroughly cleanse your face each day.
What
does it mean to thoroughly cleanse my face?
To thoroughly cleanse your face means to remove all
oil based and water based impurities from the skin.
How do
I know if my face is thoroughly cleansed?
Generally, if you first start with a cream cleanser
and massage your skin, effective removal of all oil based impurities
such as sebum, makeup, and air pollutants will result. This should
be followed with a water soluble cleanser to remove all water based
impurities such as perspiration, dust, and airborne materials. If
these two steps were followed, you can be assured that thorough
cleansing has been achieved.
Why
won't a product that contains mineral oil thoroughly cleanse my face
and pores?
Mineral oil is an inexpensive material that is
derived from crude oil. Since by chemical nature it is very
different than the components of skin sebum, it cannot intermix and
suspend oil based impurities on the skin. Since mineral oil cannot
suspend oil based impurities efficiently, some residual impurities
are left on the skin.
Why
won't a product with mineral oil hydrate or moisturize my face? (or
will it?)
A product with mineral oil will hydrate and
moisturize your face; however, it will not allow the skin to breathe
as efficiently as a product that is formulated to be compatible with
the skin's natural moisturizer. Mineral oil is occlusive, meaning
that it is almost like applying plastic wrap around your face.
Moisture is held in; however, adequate breathing will be
compromised.
Is a
skin care regimen recommended when using Renova (Retin A)?
The prescribing information that is provided to
physicians recommends that "Renova should only be used as an adjunct
to a comprehensive skin care and sun avoidance program".
Why do
I need to use a balancing lotion/toner?
A balancing toner helps close the skin's pores and
restores the skin's natural pH after being cleansed with an alkaline
foaming cleanser. It is important to restore the natural pH to the
skin, since this provides natural chemical buffering and
bacteriostatic properties. Additionally, if you are using alpha
hydroxy add products, it is particularly important to restore the
natural pH to the skin with a balancing lotion, to assure
effectiveness of the alpha hydroxy acids.
What
will a mask do for me?
Regular masking will help remove dull looking dead
skin cells and imbedded impurities to reveal smoother, more
translucent skin. Masking also helps to unclog pores and allows for
effective ingredients to be more beneficial to your skin.
If my
skin is oily should I use a moisturizer? They usually make me break
out and make my skin too oily. What kind should I use?
It is recommended that a light moisturizer designed
for oily skin be used. Although your skin is oily, this condition is
more noticed in the T -zone area of the face. Areas outside of the
T-zone could become dry and may benefit from a light moisturizer.
What
types of moisturizers work best? What should I avoid?
The best type moisturizers are those that use quality
ingredients that are natural to the skin. Natural to the skin means
ingredients that replicate the components of the skin's natural
moisturizer {sebum
(oil) + perspiration (water)}.
We know sebum has several important functions: to provide an
emollient film to reduce water evaporation; to provide protection
against de-fatting substances; and to help prevent bacterial
infection. Quality ingredients that are compatible with the skin's
natural moisturizer include squalane, stearic acid, beeswax, jojoba
oil, cholesterol, ceramides, and sodium PCA.
Ingredients to avoid would be mineral oil, synthetic
emulsifiers, and artificial colors.
