It’s important to always touch your face gently – never rub your eyes hard, and apply skin care products on yourself the way you would apply them on a baby (gently and with respect). We can sometimes forget that our skin, particularly our face, is delicate. Pulling, tugging, and scrubbing the skin will only wear it out faster.

To properly take care of our skin, we need to address all of its layers. Many people use several different products from several different companies all at once. I used to do this too, but when I finally settled on one system I was amazed at the difference. Skin care lines create their products to work together surrealistically. This means that each product builds off another to ensure proper acidity is restored to the skin.

Remember the acid mantle that sits on the surface of your skin? It turns out that thin layer of sweat and oil is actually very important to the way your skin feels and looks! When you “hodge-podge” or use products from several different companies, your skin is left out of balance. Oily people tend to have skin that is less acidic, even basic, which is why they’re so prone to blemishes. Their skin isn’t able to properly protect itself from bacteria. Dry skin people tend to have very acidic skin.
