Which beauty products are in your medicine cabinet?
Between last year's Oil of Olay face cream and the tube of Preparation H your mom once told you was good for puffy eyes, sits a jar of radiant skin waiting to be unveiled.
Why not get a fresh start for the new year? That over-the-counter skincare stuff you’re using, only treats the dead layer of skin on the surface.. Instead, think cosmeceutical! Our products are formulated to penetrate deep into the dermis layer where collagen, elastin, and pigmentation lay.
Here’s our top 10 anti-aging products…
1. Retinol
Why: Stimulates collagen production, which targets fine lines and can result in a tighter, younger-looking complexion.
When: At night only!! Recommended 2-3 times per week, but that all depends on your skin type and age.
My Fav: SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5% or 1.0%
Why: Stimulates collagen production, which targets fine lines and can result in a tighter, younger-looking complexion.
When: At night only!! Recommended 2-3 times per week, but that all depends on your skin type and age.

2. Daily Antioxidant
Why: Increases collagen synthesis and reduces skin damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C is an essential anti-oxidant which helps create healthy, youthful, glowing skin.
When: Every Morning.. Religiously! And anytime my skin looks dull or ashy.

4. Gentle Cleanser
Why: Because your skin needs a break from acids, sulfates, and parabens to heal and for optimal skin health.
When: I use mine in the morning and after peels, lasers, Ulthera or any intense treatment done to my face.

5. Tinted Sunscreen
Why: Do I have to explain this one? Surprisingly, so many of us DO NOT use this daily. People.. This is your fountain of youth! A proper sunscreen helps protect your skin from sunburn, early aging, and skin cancer. Need I say more…
When: Every day! (even if it’s cloudy). Don’t forget to reapply every 2 hours if out in the sun. According to American Academy of Dermatology, sunscreen needs to be at least SPF 30, UVA and UVB protectant, and water resistant.
