 Do you know how to meet the needs of your skin? Determining and meeting your skin’s essential needs with a comprehensive skin care regime is critical to maintaining skin’s healthy function, and beautiful appearance.

The key to optimal skin health and beauty is to meet your skin’s basic needs with a comprehensive skin care system. You can maintain beautiful skin, and slow the rate at which it ages with a regime that both supplements and protects the structure and function of the skin.

Before going into the various ways of caring for your skin, always keep in mind that the biggest enemy your skin is up against is the sun. So if you can only afford one skin care product make it the best you can afford sun-screen, and use it every day just as you would a moisture cream, but unlike a moisture cream it needs to be topped up during the day.

Basic and Advanced Skin Care Needs
Your skin has up to 10 essential needs for optimal health and beauty. These needs can be divided into two categories: basic and advanced needs.

If your skin is reasonable healthy it needs a basic daily regime to meet its minimum daily needs. If your skin has more specific concerns that need addressing you will need a more advanced daily regime to meet those concerns.

Starting in our late 20s, our advanced needs steadily increase. Together, basic and advanced needs form the essential needs of the skin.

Basic Needs
Although the skin has 10 essential needs to maintain optimal form, meeting the basic, daily needs with four regime steps creates the foundation of daily skin care. The four essential steps are cleanse, tone, protect, and hydrate. A look at each step individually will help to clarify how it specifically addresses the essential needs of your skin.

Cleanse: This step meets the skin’s basic need to be free of excess oil, dirt, and pollutants. If these impurities are not removed, you may experience dull, sallow skin; clogged, inflamed pores that can discolour and scar; along with free radical oxidation that can damage cells, affect healthy cell renewal, irritate the skin, and initiate hyper-pigmentation. To avoid these negative effects, cleansing should be performed twice daily.

Tone: Toning fulfills a basic daily need by preparing the skin to receive the benefits from other products, and should be performed twice daily, after cleansing. Toning works in several ways by calming and soothing the skin. Toning also minimizes the appearance of pores and balances the skin’s pH.

If you suffer with Rosacea avoid toning, because toner has a drying effect on the skin and this should be avoided with Rosacea.

Protect: This step meets the skin’s basic need for a morning moisturizer with SPF, to guard against harmful UV rays and environmental stressors. Sun damage degrades the moisture barrier structural proteins, and promotes discoloration – all signs of premature skin aging.

Hydrate: The need hydrate is vital. This step provides vital lipids, replenishes moisture, and repairs key components for optimal nighttime recovery. Nighttime hydration should be applied once daily in the evening.

Advanced Needs
In addition to the basic daily needs, your skin may also have advanced needs. When specific skin concerns such as discoloration, acne, free radical damage, and ageing exist, addressing these concerns is critical for skin health and beauty.

Daily steps to target the skin’s advanced care needs will give your skin the extra care it   requires to combat ageing. Consider some of the following advanced needs:

Nourish: For protecting skin health and maintaining youthfulness, the nourish step is essential. You can nourish the skin with powerful antioxidants to neutralize free radicals that damage, and prematurely age the skin.

Treat: Treatment products are specially formulated to target your skins need to meet essential advanced needs of the skin when key components, such as functions, or structures within the skin are compromised, which all lead to signs of premature ageing. Treatment products are specially formulated to target those key skin components.

Refinish: The refinish step focuses on skin that has become dull and rough. Refinishing helps to resurface and polish the skin for a fresh, glowing complexion.

Exfoliate: When environmental stressors and intrinsic ageing begin to interfere with healthy cell renewal, exfoliating becomes important. Exfoliation helps remove dead cell buildup for smoother more youthful looking skin, and it can stimulate the cell renewal process.

If you have acne avoid a harsh exfoliant, a gel would be better and kinder to your skin.

Mask: When your skin requires concentrated key ingredients for an extended period of time, masks are an excellent way to do this. Using a mask meets an essential advanced need of the skin, and some can deliver necessary key ingredients into the skin, whilst others will draw out impurities.  

Revitalize: Tired, stressed skin requires the essential step to revitalize, restore vibrancy and promote cellular energy. This need should be met once per week after cleansing.          

Regime: Rules
By understanding both the essential, daily needs and the advanced needs of your skin, you can easily create a regime that meets those needs.

It’s important to remember that the best skin care products are designed to work together, to meet the essential needs of the skin. As they do this, they maintain and enhance the health and natural beauty of the skin. www.agelessathome.co.nz

When following a skin care regime it is vital that you use each product correctly. In addition to following correct usage, regime order, and instructions for each product keep the following tips in mind:

The advanced steps refinish, exfoliate, mask, and revitalize can be performed either morning or evening, but not twice in one day. Carry out these four steps together three or four times a week, depending on how your skin is looking.

With some treatment systems, the refinish, exfoliate, and mask steps are not recommended for simultaneous use (refer to individual treatment systems for more information).

When applying more than one treatment product, apply those products that do not form an impenetrable film on the skin first (i.e. apply serums, and then gels).

Allow serums and gels to dry completely to let the active ingredients soak into the skin. After the serum or gel has dried, apply any lotion or cream treatment products. Allow them to set.

Day moisturizers with SPF should be applied after the treatment lotions or creams have dried to prevent wiping away the active ingredients. You should wait for day moisturizers to dry completely before applying cosmetics.

There you have it. All you needed to know about how to take care of your skin, and apply serum, gels, creams and lotions.
