Ask the Esthetician: Changing Your Skincare Routine

Happy Spring to all!

Now that we are entering a new season, it’s time to switch up our skin care routine.  Getting facials and switching products on a quarterly basis is encouraged.  By doing this, you will notice your skin appears brighter, moisturized, less breakouts and an even tone and texture.

For pregnant women or new moms, you may notice many changes in your skin. Acne, dryness, inflammation and discoloration are the most common problems women face. Don’t be discouraged! By having a good skincare routine, this will conquer all of the pre and post pregnancy symptoms and changes in the skin.

Here are some specific examples of how our Eminence Organic skincare line can be useful to you!

DRY SKIN

  • Apricot Oil– This oil is amazing! It is extremely hydrating and soothing.  It will assist the skin in retaining elasticity, clarity and suppleness.
  • Rosehip and Maize Exfoliating Masque – This gentle treatment removes dead skin cells for better absorption of your moisturizer.
  • Linden Calendula Treatment Cream – A rich and intensive hydration.

ACNE

  • Eight Greens Moisturizer– Not only great for acne, but for mature, dehydrated and devitalized skin.  This cream will stimulate and add oxygen into the skin and also reduce inflammation.
  • Herbal Spot Serum– a high potency blemish gel that’s an astringent. It reduces swelling, and calms irritation.

DISCOLORATION/MELASMA

  • Stone Crop Moisturizer– This cream will revitalize, brighten the skin while prevent any further pigmentation.
  • Stone Crop Serum– Penetrates even deeper than your moisturizer to minimize pigmentation.

INFLAMMATION

  • Echinacea Recovery Cream– Hydrating calming fluid for irritated skin. Softens and reduces inflammation, promotes elasticity, and promotes skin from environmental aggressors.
  • Apricot Calendula Nourishing Cream– A healing nourishing treatment for dehydrated sensitive skin. Hydrates, lubricates, and promotes elasticity of the skin.

Don’t forget that for the month of May, you will receive 25% off your purchase of Eminence products with any facial valued at $80 or more.  Watch your skin bloom with our customized Flourish Facial using Eminence Organic Skin Care.  The live ingredients enrich your skin, leaving you radiant and toned.
