Choosing Your Perfect Moisturizers

Previously I posted, defining what a skincare regimen is & the steps to take to personalize your regimen. Then I went with the steps to help you choose the right products for you. We’ve discussed cleansers, treatments and now we’re moving on to moisturizers.

First, we want to go back to the earliest of questions previously discussed, “What’s your skin type”? Do you have dry, oily, combination, or even sensitive skin?

You will want to use a day moisturizer & a night moisturizer. The day moisturizer will help you replace the oils you removed from your skin while cleansing & it will keep your skin moist throughout the day. Day moisturizers tend to be lighter than night moisturizers & oil-free for a base under your makeup.

BEAUTY TIP- Keep your day moisturizer away from your eyes. Day moisturizers may contain sunscreen which may cause your eyes to burn. Use a separate eye cream.

In the evening you will want to remove all the impurities your skin attracted during the day. Things like sweat, air pollution & your makeup need to be removed. During your rest, your skin, with applied moisturizer, works harder to repair the damage you put it through. Night creams tend to be heavier than day creams to replenish moisture & help reduce signs of aging.

Day Moisturizers come in various forms like creams, gels, and even tinted moisturizers. While night moisturizers may come in those forms they also may be in the form of an oil or even an overnight mask.

Staring a skincare regimen is easy with sets like this one which includes a day & night moisturizer, eye cream & a treatment all in one bundle.

Travel size bundles are another way to experience a skincare regimen before committing to full-size products. This luxurious line, Mission Luxerev takes over 2 years to produce & uses fermentation technologies.

WITH SPECIAL FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGIES
Fermentation breaks down molecules into smaller sizes, so skin can more easily absorb the beneficial ingredients.
• Cytoferm – Combines 86 medicinal plants, harvested over four seasons for peak potency and fermented for another year to achieve maximum efficacy and help promote the look of smooth, radiant skin.
• Wineferm – Wine extract from naturally fermented grapes, which have a higher content of polyphenols than natural grapes and are rich in antioxidants to keep skin looking healthy.

You have the option to mix and match day & night creams. They don’t have to come from the same line. Occasionally I change up my night moisturizer to reap the benefits of other product lines. In my current regimen, I use the sculpting line of Isa Knox Platinum. Then, some nights I treat myself to the vegan Anew Ultimate Supreme Advanced Performance Crème for all its benefits.

The ultimate in skin performance, our luxury night crème indulges your skin with a supreme experience and rewards it with immediate and long-term results on most visible signs of aging, including deep wrinkles, creases, expression lines and skin firmness. 1.7 oz. net wt.

With Black Pearl Extract, known to enhance skin’s ability to retain moisture, our advanced performance night crème dramatically improves visible signs of aging. Born in the exotic waters of Tahiti, the black pearl is known to improve skin’s ability to retain moisture. Our luxurious yet lightweight night crème, infused with black pearl extract and our highest-level Celluvive anti-aging complex, helps repair the look of all visible signs of aging* while immersing skin in radiant moisture for the ultimate transformative experience.

I’ve covered Part 2 of Skincare Regimens, “Where to Begin” to create your personalized skincare regimen. It’s time to get started with those right products for your concerns.

Now, remember the 3rd STEP- “Give it Time” You’ll need to give your new regimen time to work with your skin. Depending on the anti-aging products you choose it may take 6-8 weeks to see results with consistent use. As you age your concerns may change & it’ll be time to revisit your anti-aging regimen to update it.
