Have you ever caught yourself overfilling your beauty bag with several different product brands that are untouched, or half used? Just like make-up, the various brands of skin care cause many of us “beauty gurus” to overbuy instead of finding the right products for our skin. For example, products you see at the drug store for $5 seem too good to pass up because of the price tag, or that “compelling” commercial you saw on TV, so why not snatch one for yourself, right? Wrong!
Less is more for your skin, and consistency is key. You are in control of your skin and seeing remarkable results, but it will not happen overnight. It is particularly important to follow an everyday skin care routine with consistent medical grade products to achieve the best results! Every beauty bag or vanity counter should contain the following products: Cleanser, Toner, Exfoliant, Antioxidant, Retinol, and Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen. Read on to see what is in our bag!
At Aesthetic Specialists our bag is chock full of products that will take your skin to the next level. Here is our list of the top five medical grade skin care products that will give your skin the boost it needs!
For the best cleanse, ZO Gentle Cleanser is our clear favorite. It is a gentle cleanser for all skin types designed to remove impurities and leave the skin feeling refreshed, clean and hydrated. ZO Gentle Cleanser is a clear cleanser but in a few minutes after you apply to your skin it gives a nice rich lather that just speaks clean!
Toning is a must and ZO Complexion Renewal Pads win the prize in this category. Used daily, these moistened pads help minimize surface oil and exfoliate pore-clogging dead skin cells and dirt, leaving the skin ready for the next step of exfoliation.
For step three in your daily routine, ZO Exfoliating Polish contains tea tree oil and magnesium crystals that exfoliate dead skin cells to create a clear – smooth and even-toned complexion. Exfoliation is the best part of any good skin care regimen.
Aesthetic Specialists’ favorite in the antioxidant family is CE Ferulic by SkinCeuticals. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is an antioxidant daytime serum for normal to dry and sensitive skin, with signs of aging, discoloration, and dehydration. With a revolutionary antioxidant action, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic provides advanced environmental protection against photoaging.
A great retinol is ZO Wrinkle and Texture Repair. This strong effective retinol blend reduces the appearance of uneven skin tone, age spots, and fine lines and wrinkles, while stimulating collagen production.
Daily use of a medical grade sunscreen is the most important part of our skin care regimen. Fighting off those harmful rays is key to the best skin of your life. EltaMD Elements 44 tinted sunscreen is the perfect match for protecting and elevating your skin’s natural beauty. The one size fits all tint makes this product wearable anytime anywhere which is what you want in a sunscreen. After all, the best sunscreen is any sunscreen that you will wear!
Remember, keeping your beauty bag full is important, but it is having the right products in your bag that will give you beautiful and flawless skin! On a final note, keep your beauty bag open and filled with the best!
