Question 2

How do I properly use an oil cleanser?

Accepted Answer

How do I properly use an oil cleanser? Apply a small amount of your favorite oil to your face bringing it all the way down to your neck and chest massaging your skin in upwards motions. Use the oil to remove mascara by gently massaging your lashes. Without water, add a small amount of cleanser onto the oil and continue to massage. This will help breakup the oil and continue to help remove makeup, dirt and debris. When you are ready, add water to the mix continuing the cleanse process and then rinse away. Follow this step with a second cleanse so that you have a beautiful clean slate that is prepped for products

Question 3

Should I use Retinols or Retinoids?

Accepted Answer

Another option for creating a more even skin tone would be retinal or retinoid. You can use retinols from your licensed professional or have a retinoid prescribed by a doctor. Retinols come in a variety of strengths and formulations and the percentage of usage will vary from person to person. In addition to helping even skin tone, retinols can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, encourage cellular turnover, and help heal acne. Although products with retinol are popular they are not appropriate for everyone and some formulations have been known to cause irritation in sensitive skin types. Since retinols are exfoliating it is important to use these products only a couple of times a week or as recommended by a physician. The Retinol 2% Scrub from Skin Script Rx is a great way to incorporate retinol into your routine as your exfoliating step. This low dose of retinol is appropriate for even the most sensitive skin while delivering great results. The number one most important thing that we can do for our skin is to wear our SPF, every day, year round. SPF does not just protect against photo damage, it also protects against environmental damage. The secret to an ageless face is in your SPF bottle. When it comes to SPF there is so much to know that it can be tricky picking one that is the best option for you.
