Did you know there is a non-prescpription option? It's called Retinol. Consistently using the right dosage in the right order will result in Retinol quickly becoming one of your favorite skin care products! If Retinol isn't on your holiday wish list, it should be!
Before you head out to make a purchase, here are some important things to note:
Retinol...
- Speeds up cell turnover, sweeps away the dead cells that cause dullness, and boosts collagen and elastin by stimulating cellular repair at the deepest level of the skin.
- Is degraded by light and air, so proper packaging is critical.
- Pumps up circulation by increasing blood-vessel formation, so skin looks healthier.
- Is the vampire of the skin-care world, as it works best in the dark.
- Is best applied after washing your face with warm water and thoroughly drying. Then, blood vessels and pores are dilated, making more space between cells for absorption.
- Can be dabbed around the eye area every third night. It's great for undereye crepiness.
- Is best followed by a layer of moisturizer, which helps skin tolerate the Retinol better by strengthening the skin barrier, making it less prone to irritation.
My nighttime routine (below) includes Retinol and I have seen a significant improvement in the texture and firmness (as well as minimized pore appearance)! ---
Love The Skin You're In!
