80% of skin results are gained from what you do at home.

31% of your skin’s appearance is genetic, the rest is up to you!

These statistics show that you are the beholder of your skins appearance! Daily home-care is vital for optimum skin results. Once we have given you the “tools”, the continued results are up to you. In order for your skin to function effectively and have a glowing amazing appearance it takes a little care on a daily bases.

It is important that you have a skin regime, this not only helps your skin but also your state of mind. Stopping for 5 minutes and completing your regime gives you time to take a couple a deep breathes, and relax.

Below is a step-by-step guide for your skin regime.
1. Cleanser:
This is the first and an essential step in your skin regime, as it removes dirty, grime, sweat and make up from the skin surface. This ensures that the surface is clean for the actives to follow; congestion is reduced and skin cells that are ready to desquamate (be removed) are supported. I believe that unless you have an extremely oily skin you should only clean your face once a day – at night time. This will ensure that the days grime is removed but the skin is not being over cleansed and stripped.
Dilute a small amount of cleanser with water; apply to your face and massage in a circular motion. Remove with a clean face cloth. If you are wearing make up a second cleanse is recommended.
2. Soaking:
Soaking is a new step that I have added into regimes. Soaking is a gentle way to hydrate the upper layers of your skin by giving it a topical ‘drink’. Free water in the skin is essential for cellular function. In order to achieve a healthy functioning skin that glows you need to be giving your skin a topical drink.
Quarter fill your basin with warm water add 3 drops of soaking drops to the water – this demagnetises the water: immerse the soaking cloth into the water; squeeze out excess water and apply the cloth to the whole face; hold for 10 seconds. Repeat this process 3 times before applying the following products quickly.
3. Tonic / Mist:
Tonics or mists are the beginning of the active treatment products used for hydration and specific conditions.
Tonic and mists can be applied by either spraying the face directly and massaging into the skin or spray into your hand and apply to the skin. You should use 2-3 pumps per application.
4. Intense Serum
A serum provides a potent and targeted delivery of pure and active ingredients to the skin, working on skin health or specific conditions or concerns. A good quality serum should have 100% delivery to skin cells providing an intense treatment.
Applying a small pump of serum to your fingertips and apply either over the whole face or specific areas. Due to the products intensity a limited amount is required.
5. Eye Cream/Gel
Eye creams and gels are designed for the delicate skin around the eye area, where the skin is finer (3 times finer than the rest of the skin on the face) there are also no natural lipids, meaning it has no ability to naturally hydrate itself and relies solely on products for its hydration. The eye area is the first place to show ageing and the skins true appearance, therefore it is vital that an eye product is applied.
Apply an extremely small amount to your finger tips; apply the product first under the eye area, along the orbital bone and then over the lids.
6. Moisturiser
Moisturiser is a key product that everyone should be applying twice a day. Moisturiser maintains the natural skin barrier, effectively aids in the prevention of ageing; provides hydration and topical nutrients to the skin and ultimately ensures cell health and appearance.
Apply a pea-size amount of moisturiser to your finger tips; massage in a circular motion over the whole face (including the neck) until completely absorbed. Moisturiser is to be applied both Morning and Night.
7. Suncare
Sunscreen is always the last product to be applied to the skin (other than make-up). It must be applied every day and is essential for protection from damaging UV rays. Skincare is the cheapest anti-ageing product out there as the sun is our biggest ager!
Apply a good amount to your finger tips and then massage in a circular motion over the whole facial area prior to UV exposure. If swimming, sweating or in repeated UV rays always reapply every 2 hours.

Now you have the steps, make this regime a reality.

You only get 1 skin so its appearance is up to you!
