Dryness & Aging

Skin care tips: 

• 2-3 x per week, use a alpha hydroxy acid exfoliating serum, such as lactic acid or glycol acid to brighten dull skin.
• Cleanse only 1x per day and use a cream or oil cleanser to help remove makeup and impurities without stripping the skin of it's natural oils. 
• Apply a hydrating toner with soothing ingredients after cleansing to help prep the skin to receive more moisture.
• Use a natural serum both day and night under your moisturizer to boost moisture levels and keep skin hydrated.
• Choose moisturizers that contain occlusive ingredients (like shea butter and rich oils) that will help lock in moisture and prevent dehydration.
• Get into the habit of giving yourself a facial massage every night using a natural fatty acid rich oil like moringa or camellia. This will help boost circulation, tone, and bring oxygen and essential nutrients to the skin. 
• Wear sunscreen daily! Most UV exposure is incidental (while in the car, sitting by a window, or walking to and from places).
