I want to take care of my face and look more youthful but I don’t know where to start!

We aren’t celebrities with a huge budget to spend on skincare treatments. They are using lasers, microneedling, plastic surgery, fillers, Botox and more….

Skin Care is a huge part of the prevention and treatment of the skin aging process. I think this gets ignored too much and should NOT be skipped. I know that I was guilty of this for a very long time. I have always been budget conscious and never wanted to take the leap to try the medical grade products that cost more. Once I did, I seriously wanted to kick myself that I didn’t do it sooner. I’ve always struggles with acne and skin discoloration. WHAT A DIFFERENCE in my skin with the SkinBetter Science line of medical grade products I started using!!

Clean Skin

1)     CLEANSER. Wash face twice daily, morning and night. Good cleansing will remove oils, sweat, impurities that clog pores, makeup, sunscreen, etc and help prevent acne breakouts.

SkinBetter Science Cleansing Gel- 8 fl oz $48 (sulfate-free)

It’s a mild foaming gel cleanser that is good for all skin types.

I love the way it makes my skin feel. It’s easy to wash off and doesn’t leave any residues. My skin is fresh and clean, but NEVER dry or tight feeling.

Seems simple, but shockingly hard to find in a cleanser. I’ve tried many.

The closest store brand I could find that I liked was CeraVe foaming facial cleanser, so that would be my runner up product.  

Prevention of aging

1) PROTECT your skin from the SUN. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!  The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays) SPF 30 or higher. The product I recommend is SkinBetter Science sunBetter TONE SMART with SPF 75-1.7 fl oz Retail price: $75. Advanced Mineral Protection.

Most facial sunscreens feel so heavy on your face, but this product feels amazing on your skin like there is nothing there! I’m normally prone to breakouts with sunscreen on my face, but this doesn’t do that to me. I’ve tried so many products through the years and this is hands down my favorite. I will never use anything else again.

I realize that it is expensive, so this is one area where I will say that you don’t have to stick with a medical grade product. If you already have one you like and it doesn’t break out your skin, feels nice, and has the 30 SPF or higher, it’s okay to stick with what you have. 

2) PROTECT your skin from oxidative processes with products such as vitamin C and E. I love SkinBetter Science Alto Advanced Defense & Repair Serum- 1 fl oz Retail Price: $190

It has Vitamin C, E, plus 17 additional free-radical fighters and antioxidants. It will give you a brighter, more radiant, softer, better hydrated skin when used twice daily.

This is one area that I would NOT skimp on and buy a department store brand. A small amount goes a long way on the skin, it feels lights, and it works amazing.

3) LOCK IN MOISTURE with SkinBetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment- 1.7 fl oz Retail Price: $150 

It delivers heavy hydration without the weight.

I’m extremely picky about how heavy products feel on my face, especially if they feel tacky. If a product is heavy/tacky then it makes your makeup difficult to apply and looks too heavy. This product is amazing and feels very light on the skin. I love it!

I realize this product is expensive, so if you already have a product that you absolutely love and works really well, then maybe this would be an area that you wait to upgrade.

 

Treatment of fine lines and wrinkles

1) RETINOIDS treat acne, unclog pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and can increase collagen production and increase cell turnover.

SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream- 1 fl oz Retail: $135

It contains retinoids, alpha hydroxy acid, glycolic acid and other skin-hydrating and supportive ingredients.

This is a fantastic product that has radically changed my skin! It has decreased my acne and improved my overall skin texture like nothing else ever has. I’m also noticing improvement in my fine lines and wrinkles.  I would NOT substitute any other Retinal products from the department or drug store. They are NOT going to have the same powerful ingredients and outcomes. You really need medical grade on this one!
