What are the most
important steps when it comes to cleaning your skin? |
 |
| |
1. Do not excessively wash with cleanser. If
you have acne, it is incorrect to assume that
this will work; this only results in overly dry,
irritated skin.
2. Keep it fuss free. Wash with a gentle cleanser
whether you prefer foamy or not. Do not feel you
have to spend lots of money on a cleanser. MirSkin
Glycolic 5 wash is a gently foamy cleanser that
will also remove face make up and exfoliate skin.
3. Use a separate product to remove eye make
up. Remember to wash off all make up at night.

What is the worst
thing that people can do (or not do) to their skin? |
|
| |
1. Not using SPF especially when exposed to direct
sunlight; this will cause premature aging, and
increase your risk of skin cancers. MirSkin has
developed a light, oil-free spf 30 to wear every
day, alone or with make up. One easy step and
then forget about it.
2. Incorrect over-use of medications and products
such as retin-a, glycolic acids and such. It causes
excessive dryness and irritation. You want to
clear your break outs, not aggravate your skin.
3. The mistake that many people with oily skin
make is to over dry their skin with medications.
You still need hydration; try the MirSKin Ultra
Lite for light hydration without greasiness or
added breakouts.

How important is a
toner or astringent in a person's daily cleansing
regimen? |
|
| |
Astringent
on its own is tricky; many feel that it gives them
a clean sensation to their skin. However, by using
astringent you have to be careful that you are not
adding too much alcohol to your skin. Instead of
toner, use MirSkin 10/2 pads or 5/2 pads which contain
2 proven ingredients(glycolic and salicylic acid)
which will even out, retexturize and clear up your
skin. Use them only 2-3 times per week, gradually
building upward. This type of "toning"
will also help keep you blemish free. Toners devoid
of this kind of medication may only results in drier
skin and are not essential. |

Should your skin care
routine differ from day to night? |
|
| |
I believe
that a morning skin care routine should be simple
and effective. Really, all you need is an oil-free
hydrating moisturizer with SPF, such as the MirSKin
SPF 30. If you want, you can also add a light antioxidant
cream before your SPF; something like MirSkin green
tea and Caffeine will work well to increase protection
against UV rays. Using an SPF is very important
if you are using other products at night that can
make your skin more sensitive to sun, such as retin-a
or some stronger glycolic acid preparation.
Night time can really be concentrated on repair;
this is when anti-aging and acne preparations
are best used, such as retin-a, glycolic acids
and potent vitamin- c. You can refer to the product
guide for a night time regimen suited for you.
In summary: Daytime- Protect, Night time-Repair

What is the best thing
you can do to prevent acne? |
|
| |
It is difficult
to prevent acne. There is really no pill you can
take or cream to use to prevent it. Despite good
skin care and health, you may still develop acne.
Most often acne is genetically determined, if you
had parents or sibling with acne, chances are you
may encounter problems with it as well. What is
important is to see your doctor regularly, so he
or she can prescribe the proper medications, should
you encounter breakouts. You can also visit our
Problem solution guide, and Product guide to see
what treatments and products can work for you. |

What can happen if
you don't protect your skin from the sun? What can
be |
| |
done to repair sun-damaged
skin? |
|
| |
One of the main causes of premature aging is
tied to sun exposure. Sun exposure may cause you
to encounter premature wrinkling, blotchy sunspots,
photo damage, loss of elasticity of the skin and
rough skin texture as well as skin cancer.
The first step to repair sun-damaged skin is
to begin to wear SPF. The second step is to visit
your doctor. There is an arsenal of physician
strength products, medications and procedures
that can be individualized to your skin. Don't
rely on or expect over the counter creams to have
much effect or signifigance.
Remember: the best wrinkle preventer is sun protection.
