Sensitive skin is becoming more and more common, even in well-taken care of, healthy individuals. A big reason for this is that at this point in history, our skin is exposed to more environmental and chemical irritants than ever before. Our skin doesn’t recognize these pollutants and works overtime to protect itself, often developing more sensitivity in the process. Other factors that can contribute to sensitive skin are dry weather, allergies, excessive exfoliation, or skin conditions, such as eczema. Our goal is to soothe the irritants while providing a protective barrier to prevent further damage. Taking care of ourselves and focusing on our inner health is a big step we can take to help our body do the best job it can to protect itself. A little help from the outside doesn’t hurt though! Here are a few tips to help.

1. Always remove your makeup. This step is especially important for sensitive skin. Makeup left on your skin can cause irritation, breakouts, and clogged pores. It will also accelerate the aging process. Removing your makeup will prevent bacteria growth and prime your face for the next steps of your skincare routine. Try our Micellar Skin Tonic to remove all traces of makeup while adding essential hydration.

2. Use serums that are developed for sensitive skin. Finding products that soothe and correct while protecting your skin can be a challenge. Some natural ingredients can be too potent and irritate your skin more, while some “sensitive” skin lines contain harmful synthetic ingredients. Look for products with calming botanical additions. Ingredients such as Allantoin, Bisabolol, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic Acid will provide an extra layer of protection and help your skin be the best it can be! Try our Anti-Pollution Cream and Pro Immune Serum before applying moisturizer for maximum benefits. The anti-pollution cream is formulated to protect and strengthen your skin’s natural barrier with plant-based antioxidants. The pro immune serum stabilizes your skin’s immune cells to help them combat outside stress, such as environmental factors and free radicals.

3. Use sun protection. We all know that sun protection is important, but did you know that the type of sun protection can make a difference too? Chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the skin and can contain potentially harmful chemicals. They also break down after being exposed to UV rays for a while. Mineral sunscreens, on the other hand, don’t break down in the sun. They are minerals that are not absorbed by the skin and provide effective broad-spectrum protection. Try our Optimal Tinted Complexion Cream. It contains iron oxides and titanium dioxide for effective mechanical sun protection throughout your day!

4. Moisturize. Almost all of our products are formulated to be as hydrating as possible, but it is still important to seal all of your skincare in with a good moisturizer. Using it at night is especially effective because it gives your skin a chance to renew itself and rest. Try our Night Replenisher, which is rich in hydrating oils and vitamins.

Age, the seasons, and our health can all have a negative effect on our skin, leaving it dull, irritated, or extra sensitive. With just a few simple steps, we can reveal glowing healthy skin all the time! Skin care is one part science and another part art so the most important thing is that you find something that works for YOU. Let’s look at 8 tips that might help.

1. Drink plenty of water. This will help flush out impurities and keep everything working smoothly. Hydrated skin is happy skin, both inside and out.
2. A beautiful complexion starts with a healthy diet. Eat a healthy diet full of nutrient rich foods. Fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients that your skin needs to regenerate healthy new cells, while foods high in protein and collagen help strengthen the elasticity of the skin.
3. Exercise regularly to improve well, everything! One main thing that exercise improves is the blood flow and oxygenation to your skin. Similar to the benefits of nutrition, this helps your skin regenerate healthier cells that contribute to a glowing complexion!
4. Use sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days. UV damage can occur in any season or weather. Try our Face Shield or Optimal Tinted Complexion Cream for effective protection against the elements.
5. Wash your face twice a day. To remove impurities from the skin, wash your face morning and night on a daily basis. A gentle, yet thorough cleanser, such as our Mild Creamy Cleanser will cleanse your face while preserving your skin’s natural moisture barrier. The lotion-like consistency of this cleanser also makes it ideal to remove makeup. Simply use it twice in a row to remove makeup, then cleanse. Our Brightening Face Cleanser can be used in the same way.
6. Use a rich moisturizer. Our Night Replenisher is perfect for replenishing the natural lipids in your skin with hyaluronic acid, white lupin extract, avocado oil and vitamin E.

Here are a few other products that will gently exfoliate and nourish, revealing the best skin of your life:

1. Skin refining enzyme peel for a gentle chemical exfoliation.
2. Our Brightening Exfoliator is formulated to exfoliate and brighten all in one simple step. With effective ingredients such as citric acid, glycolic acid and titanium dioxide, it is sure to reveal the best skin of your life.
3. Melafadin cleansing powder. If you’ve never used a cleansing powder, you will love the experience! Simply shake a little into your hand, add a few drops of water, and watch it transform into a luxurious foam that brightens your skin with vitamin C while deep cleansing!
4. Phase Melafadin Concentrate is our 40-day intensive treatment, designed to brighten and improve your skin’s overall health. The treatment consists of an effective Vitamin C powder, which you mix with a liquid to activate. The liquid contains powerful brightening, soothing and antioxidant compounds to promote an even, radiant complexion.

We know that you want the most effective skin care to achieve a healthy glowing complexion, and we are confident that a combination of these tips and skin care will help you find it in no time!

Much too soon, summer is waving goodbye as the sweaters and pumpkin treats make their appearance once again. As the humidity dips in the air, this is the perfect time to start preparing your skin for the harsher winter months. Drier air means that the outer layer of your skin can get damaged more easily, but there are a few things you can do to keep it balanced as the weather shifts. Remember, a little bit of prevention goes a long way!

1. Gentle exfoliation. While very important and effective when used properly, it can be tempting to over-exfoliate as skin shows more signs of dryness. There are two types of exfoliation: physical and chemical. Whichever one you use, make sure to be gentle so that you just remove the very top layer of dead skin cells. Aggressive exfoliation can lead to micro-abrasions in your skin that leave it open to bacteria and other irritants. For physical exfoliation, try our Intensive Face Scrub, made with finely ground peach granules. For chemical exfoliation, try our Brightening Exfoliator or our Skin Refining Enzyme Peel.

2. Hydration. When the winds pick up, the furnaces kick on and the wood stoves are lit. Cozy fall is right around the corner! Unfortunately, the wind and dry heat also suck the moisture from our skin so much faster! Stay ahead of the game by switching to a richer moisturizer now. For more mature skin, try our Rich Recovery Cream, and for more sensitive skin, try the Night Replenisher. For the ultimate luxurious experience, try our Night Cream, with colloidal platinum, silk acacia extract, lipid complex and more. We promise you will feel pampered and immediately refreshed!

3. Don’t slow down on sunscreen. Just because the sun is filtered through the beautiful yellow and orange trees instead of beaming down on us with the summertime intensity doesn’t mean that it is doing any less damage to our skin. Sun protection is just as important in the fall (and winter!) as it is during the summer months. Our Face Guard uses a mineral shield rather than a chemical sunscreen to protect your skin from the harsh UV rays, no matter what time of year it is.

4. Take extra care with certain areas. Some skin is thinner and more sensitive, such as the skin under our eyes, on our eyelids, and our lips. Look for products that are specially made for these areas, and that focus on hydration! Try our Rich Eye Contour Cream around the delicate eye area. With oat extract, macadamia nut oil, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin A, this lightweight cream works hard to hydrate all day or all night long! Our Tricare Eye Cream shares those benefits, but is also formulated for mature skin, and contains ingredients that help combat fine lines and wrinkles.

With the right care, and a couple of easy prevention steps, you can assure that your skin will enjoy the fall season as much as you do!

Do you notice those fine lines when you look closely in the mirror? As we approach our thirties, the tell-tale youthful glow tends to fade as the unwanted guests settle in. It is an inevitable issue we will have to deal with: saggy and wrinkling skin. 

Our skin contains collagen and elastin that act as a support structure and is responsible for giving our skin a firm and tone look. When we are younger, these two proteins are intact. As we grow older, collagen production declines, and these two proteins begin to decline.

Sagging skin and wrinkles can be attributed to a wide range of factors. Factors such as exposure to the sun, UV rays, pollution, weight loss and stress speed up the process of aging. 

But here comes the good news. While there is no time machine to go back to the younger days, there are plenty of products that help to minimize the appearance of aging on the skin, such as selecting a good formula that improves skin firmness and tightness. Here is our ultimate Janssen Cosmetics item that reduces saggy and wrinkly skin.
