Your Skincare Cheat Sheet
/
Are you doing your homework?
Did you know that your daily home skincare routine accounts for 50% of the overall improvement we offer you through laser RF, and injection treatments?
Luckily, good home care doesn’t have to be complicated, just consistent and fortunately we have made it easy for you with 5 simple steps.
Clean Skin- using a Clarisonic 2 times a day, full cycle prepares your skin for up to 60% more absorption of the expensive quality products you are using.
Antioxidants- (Vitamins C, E, and Ferulic Acid) are applied after cleansing each morning. They help protect the skin by fighting free radicals we encounter through pollution, sun rays, and intense physical exercise thereby reducing the oxidation and signs of aging. In this situation you really do get what you pay for. Vitamin C is a very large molecule and without micronizing the molecule so that it actually penetrates to the level where we need it is an expensive process and the reason why effective formulations like our RAGS II Riches Antioxidant Super Charge Serum are only sold through medical facilities. Antioxidants may also be used at night but they are most critical in the morning.
Sun Protection- even 15 minutes of sun exposure without protection shuts down collagen production for about 8 hours. We suggest a daily SPF of at least 30, that also contains some anti-aging properties. Facial SPF has a bad reputation for clients that suffer from acne. Our RAGS II Riches Sun Defense are formulated specifically to decrease the incidence of acne and provide protection.
Growth Factors and Peptides- best applied after evening cleansing. They work like an army of chemical messengers stimulating, preparing and nourishing your cells, aiding in your healthy cell replication. Our RAGS II Riches Growth Factor Peptide Rich Complex contains more effective and comprehensive active ingredients than 90% of the medical peptide products on the market. Growth Factor serum may also be used twice a day if desired- it would be applied after the morning Antioxidant and prior to SPF.
Retinol- this step is the single most important thing you use each day second only to SPF. Regular Retinol use keeps the cells of the skin’s surface fresh, young, non-stained and hydrated. It maintains or freezes our cell turnover rate in our late 20’s. Our RAGS II Riches Retinol is micronized so that it penetrates with the effectiveness of a 0.01% Rx strength Retin-A but MINUS all the irritation. Safe for all skin types even those with sensitive skin.
