Dry skin lacks both water and oil. Dry skin does not produce enough oil (sebum) to properly lubricate itself, to give it that soft, supple appearance. When your skin does not produce enough oil to trap the moisture, all the water evaporates and the skin becomes dehydrated and looks and feels dry, cracked and taut.
Proper cleansing is the most important step in the treatment of dry and/or mature skin. Proper cleansing removes make-up, dirt, pollution, and dry dead cells that are always being shed. It will allow the complexion to look and feel its best; that is, bright, clear and smooth, without that dry taut feeling which often accompanies the use of cleansing soaps, which are too alkaline for dry/mature skin.
Before going to bed always first properly cleanse the skin and apply a nourishing/moisturizing cream, which helps the skin hold its water while encouraging cell growth. Lightly massage the face to stimulate circulation. At least 2-3 times a week apply Renovador Mask to remove the dead dehydrated cells from the surface of the skin.
IN THE EVENING
1 Moisten skin—Prepare for treatment
Spray with Mineral Freshener before cleansing skin.
2 Cleanse
Cleanse skin with Carrot Oil Liquid Cleanser. Shake well and apply to cotton pad. Cleanse skin with gentle upward and outward movements. The eye area should be cleansed from the outside toward the nose in a circular and very gentle motion. Cleansing should be repeated until your pad shows no more signs of dirt or grime. Eye make-up can be removed with the cleanser
3 Moisten skin
Spray face and neck with Mineral Freshener before applying night cream; never put cream on dry skin.
4 Moisturize
Apply a small amount of Petale Blanche, My Best Cream or Always Me and massage over face and neck until cream vanishes. A gentle massage will promote circulation and maintain skin tone. Specific massages and facial exercises have been shown to greatly improve the general appearance of the face. Through proper massage, blood circulation will increase, bringing vital oxygen and nutrients to the muscle tissue and carrying away impurities and damaged cells.
