Applying Products Properly

In trying to educate others about healthy skin, I've come across many different skincare applying techniques. I won't go through them all but after reading this, you should know who you are.

A skincare routine takes time.

Please, don't rush washing, drying or applying products. You will only shave mere seconds off your time and it's way more important to rejuvenate your skin. I've seen rough towel drying, one finger facial application, and vigorous washing. Not ideal.

Face first.

In the morning, it's ideal to give your skin a light washing with warm water. I don't even use soap at all. Especially in the winter months where skin tends to try out it's important to start the mornings hydrated.

After patting your skin dry, apply Daily Defender with a couple of fingers on each hand and rub it into your skin in an upward motion, massaging it into winkles or laugh lines until it is absorbed. Let it sit for at least two minutes before applying makeup or sunblock.

Try to avoid touching your face throughout the day, the germs and bacteria from your hands lead to break outs.

In the evening, use ReFresh facial scrub with warm water and with small round circular movements make your way around your face, removing dirt oil and makeup from the day. Splash with warm water and pat dry.

I really like using masks, but since this line doesn't have one YET, I use other brands, but now is the time to apply it if you choose to do so.

If not, start with Smooth Eyeperator and dab it around the eye area in a circular motion until it is abosrbed. Massage any extra into your crows feet and temple area.

Then apply Dream Beautifully all over your face and neck, rubbing it in with slight pressue on your fingertips until your skin's thirst is quenched.

Let me know how it goes!

The Pump

I just wanted to post a note to those who have experienced some issues with the pumps. I apologize for this and I wanted to give you some tips as to how to "fix" this problem.

If you've received a bottle that doesn't start pumping cream after numerous tries:

- DO NOT OPEN IT
sometimes when airless pumps get filled it can take a little more enthusiasm to get them started but please don't expose the products to air unnecessarily, I would rather send you a new one than have you ruin the product

- GIVE THE BOTTLE FOUR CEILING TO FLOOR HARD SHAKES
you may look a little silly doing this, but believe me it works! consider it a workout :)

- TRY PUMPING THE BOTTLE AGAIN

If shaking and pumping attempts fail, just send me an email to let me know. And possibly a hilarious video of you trying to shake the product silly.

Thanks,
Allison
