We all want it – a soft, smooth, silky complexion – but at times, it can feel almost impossible to achieve. Thanks to magazines constantly airbrushing models, and apps designed to perfect selfies, it can feel like everyone has perfect skin but you! Don’t worry: you’re not alone in your quest for softer skin. The path to perfection is easier than you think – simply follow these tips depending on your skin type or concern:
If your skin is oily:
Balancing the overproduction of oil to keep the surface of the skin smooth and not greasy is the goal. Double cleanse your skin every morning to remove debris from your skin. To double cleanse start with sudsy, detoxifying cleanser like the White Cranberry Cleanser, with naturally exfoliating and pore clearing ingredients that restore the skin into a healthy balance and keeps skin calm. Wash your face for 60-90 seconds, rinse and repeat. Washing the skin the first time helps to eliminate surface impurities while the second session is pulling debris out from the skin and helping to regulate the oil, giving you an ultra smooth, healthy complexion.
If your skin is dry:
Relieving the dryness and restoring moisture within the skin is the focus for dry skin. It’s all about exfoliation to help dry skin become soft and hydrated. Dry complexions have a built up layer of dead skin cells on the surface which make it harder for products and moisturizers to penetrate into the skin.
At least 2-3 times per week, you should exfoliate your skin with a product like Tropical Skin Smoother, an antioxidant and moisture-rich skin exfoliator that re-texturizes for a youthfully soft and vibrant complexion. By exfoliating regularly, you can remove the dead skin cells and ultimately make your other skin care treatments more effective! Not to mention, exfoliating helps your skin instantly feel smoother.
If your skin is sensitive:
Redness, discomfort and good, old-fashioned irritation are all concerns for a sensitive skin type. It’s no fun at all, and everything from genetics to environmental stressors and harsh skin care products can act as triggers. Eliminating the irritation and smoothing out the skin can be challenging whether your skin is occasionally sensitive or the condition is chronic.
To help relieve redness and smooth out the skin, incorporate Pure Harmony Mask into your weekly routine. This mask is specifically designed for sensitive skin and luxuriously softens, soothes and maintains hydrating moisture. Apply as often as needed and let it sit on your skin for a minimum of 10 minutes.
If you have mature skin:
There are many things that affect how your skin ages—everything from your genes to your daily habits and surrounding environment. With the aging process, though, the skin can lose its firmness and start to wrinkle.
Keep your skin in tip-top smooth shape by incorporating Vitamin A into your nightly routine. Vitamin A is the “Gold Standard” in skin care and one of only two topicals recognized by the FDA as anti-aging. Use Remarkable Retinal Serum, crafted with a powerhouse form of Vitamin A (scientifically known as Retinaldehyde, but commercially called Retinal) which is created through a patented 4-step process making it less irritating, more stable and 500x more effective than its counterparts. This potent Vitamin A formula, including Orange Plant Stem Cells, increases long-term hydration, reduces fine lines by 42%, reduces redness by 70%, softens appearance of sun spots and improves overall skin tone and smoothness in just 4 weeks.
