A. Skin Cleaning
Products used for skin cleaning include:
1. Skinusa Collagen Gentle Cleanser
3. Anti-bacterial astringent, if prescribed.
To clean your skin properly, you will wash your face gently in the morning and the evening using cold water (never hot) and a cleanser selected for your skin type. After washing you will apply a toner to enhance the cleaning action and restore the natural acidity of the surface skin. An astringent (Erythromycin, Acnemycine or other), if prescribed, will be used to destroy any bacteria present on the skin's surface. Astringents reduce skin infections and acne breakouts as well as helping other medications work more effectively.
B. Skin Color Balancing
Dark spots, dark circles around the eyes, and uneven color tones from the sun, weather and hormones can make skin color dull and unsightly. The first step in restoring an even color tone can be achieved by using a lotion called Clear Tone Pluswhich acts as a bleacher in the treatment program. This product is usually needed only for the first few months on the program.
C. Skin Protection:85% of sun aging and dark spots are caused by the sun. Most sunscreens are designed for the body and not for the sensitive skin of the face.
They become much less effective when left in the sun or heat such as the beach or the car. They are greasy and too harsh for the delicate facial skin.
Safesun Z is the ideal sunscreen for the face, effective against UVA and UVB, non-greasy, photostable in the heat and does not react with the skin (no chemical reaction like other sunscreens) but is rather a physical transparent barrier.. It is ideal for the sensitive skin of the face and neck and for long term use.
D. Skin Renewal
Skin
renewal results from enhancing skin cells function and reproduction thereby
shedding the old skin. The evening renewing agent Skinusa
Anti-Aging Cream is used with variable quantities depending on the
strength of the program, see the different approaches below
The Renewing Agent (The Skinusa Anti-Aging Cream)
Retinoic Acid (Retin A) alone is an excellent agent to control acne but is too harsh for treatment of blemishes and wrinkles. In the SkinUSA Program, Retinoic Acid (Retin-A) is formulated in a rich emollient to decrease irritation with the addition of a botanical anti-irritation agent derived from a water lily flower extract. Lactic Acid is added to enhance skin renewal along with the essential anti-oxidants.
Our patented product also includes three natural agents to treat blemishes, brown spots, melasma or mask of pregnancy and dark circles under the eyes.
The Skinusa Anti-Aging Cream is applied usually at night, although morning application several times a week may be recommended depending on your individual program.
E. Skin Reaction Control
Moisturizers – Activia Plus Lotion
Activia is recommended during the treatment to alleviate the discomfort caused by temporary skin dryness, or to improve the appearance of the skin for a special event. The Activia moisturizer reduces the effectiveness of the cream program and slows down the processes of correction and stimulation.
We suggest the following steps to stop the anticipated skin reactions at any time you desire to go on a trip, for a special event or just simply for comfort and rest for a few days.
1. Stop the Skinusa Anti-Aging Cream.
2. Use the (Activia moisterizer) lotion morning and night. The reaction should stop within two days. After that you can resume your treatment program.
As the health of your skin is restored, skin reactions subside and the need for moisturizer will diminish. Healthy skin rarely feels dry, which is why the healthy skin of children rarely needs moisturizing.
