Intensive Skin Care Routine
Address All Your
Aging Skin Concerns
An
intensive skin care regimen takes advantage of the layering
technique
to include a variety of anti-aging treatments that addresses the widest
range of aging skin issues possible.
Intensive,
yes! Difficult?
Not even a little bit!
The intensive skin care routine adopts the strategy of including a late afternoon mini-skin care
treatment which can be extremely beneficial, especially
for dry skin types.
The addition of introducing a moisturizing
treatment in the late afternoon can significantly help the skin
maintain hydration, provide essential nutrients, and enhance its
ability to protect itself from
harmful environmental effects.
Remember, the older your skin becomes, the more
moisture it needs!
This routine
provides an ideal opportunity to include yet another skin rejuvenation
treatment in order to take full advantage of using a wide
range of different anti-aging ingredients in a well thought out skin
care plan.
The intensive skin care routine might look overwhelming at first but it
is
actually quite easy and truly involves just a few more minutes a day.

If you feel like a bit of extra pampering or
just
want a little fun with some swirling action try one of the home
microdermabrasion spa kits, like the Neutrogena
Advanced Solutions At Home MicroDermabrasion System
which utilizes the same aluminum-oxide crystals that the professional
spa treatments
use.
Once you have established a basic facial rejuvenation regime, then
start to slowly integrate the layering
technique to expand your basic
skin care routine into a more comprehensive strategy.
