Natural Skincare 101
Let a Pro Solve Your Skincare Problems Naturally

Some products claim to solve all your skincare problems.  Many will work well for a while and then the problems reappear, sometimes worse.  Harsh ingredients or the incorrect products can be the cause.

So I turned to my own inner circle trust expert, Martha Sikes PA-C of The Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center.  Here she gives us insights to skincare basics. Below she answers some questions about how to properly care for your skin.
What is the proper way to cleanse all skin types?
“Keep it simple! All skin types benefit from using a gentle cleanser and applying it with a light fingertip touch.  Splash your face with water to remove, pat dry and apply moisturizer for protection. Apply sunscreen every day. “ 

 

What advice can you give to those with oily, dry or sensitive skin?
For oilyskin the most important aspect to remember is to be gentle.  Don’t overly exfoliate or dry out skin with harsh ingredients or over use a brush cleansing system. Both can remove the skin’s own natural barriers. Oily skin has natural moisturizers, but don’t forget your sunscreen”.
Dry skin also needs a gentle cleanser to maintain nourishment and not strip away the skin’s own natural protective layer of essential oils. Follow with a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid to maintain balance.”
Sensitive skin should never come in contact with harsh detergents, alcohol and unnatural fragrances.  Always complete a patch test before the use of any new product. Then follow the basic cleansing steps above.  If any product causes sensitivity keep track of what ingredients were included so you can avoid.”       
                                                                           
What do you feel are the benefits of natural skincare products!
“Natural products mimic your own skin.  They do not contain harsh ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  This strong detergent will dehydrate the skin causing irritation.  Your skin will react by overproducing oils to replace required hydration.  Natural ingredients help replace, not strip the skin of its own shield.”
