#1 REMOVE ALL SKINCARE THAT HAVE PASSED THEIR SHELF LIFE. Most products have a shelf life. This is the life of the product until it loses its claimed efficacy and...God forbid...starts to deteriorate. MOST skincare products are consumables. Therefore, most are made to be good to use for 6 to 12 months on average. I have seen the little 12M symbol on the back of most products which means it is good to last 12 months unless noted otherwise. Good quality products last until around the 12 month mark. Most products that go past this timeframe start to deteriorate and lose efficacy thus may cause more harm than good. For example, most have heard that expired sunscreen can burn the skin after the expiration date. If it has been with you for quite some time...lets start fresh! Some people think, "if I just use it sparingly, it will last longer, and i will get more out of it." NOPE! Cherish your products but don't hoard them.
#2 START WITH YOUR SKIN TYPE AND GET YOUR 3 STANDARD PRODUCTS. Everyone has a skin type. Take into consideration the feel, look, and texture of your skin. Most fall into the general categories of NORMAL, DRY, OILY, COMBINATION, SENSITIVE. If you are at all confused by finding out your skin type, consult with someone like me, a Professional Esthetician.

#3 ONCE YOU HAVE A RHYTHM WITH YOUR 3 STEP REGIMEN, ADD IN A TREATMENT SOLUTION. This means, ask yourself what it is you want to address with your skin. Is it pigmentation, or dark marks, uneven skin tone? Is it wrinkle prevention and tending to fine lines? Is it dullness, redness, or overall luminosity? This is where I come in. As your Esthetician, I can help you sift through the jungle of skincare products. We can find solutions that multitask and bring you the best results possible. Here are a few of my favorites!
