My Skin Care Consult

November 12, 2012, 3:25 PM--

Today I met with Deb- Enza's Paramedical Skin Expert and learned a lot about what I'm doing wrong. From our conversation, I learned that my current drugstore cleanser was most likely doing more harm than good. A lot of skin care is about PH and making sure it is balanced. The drugstore cleanser I currently use is not specific to a particular skin-type and therefore is a majority of the reason my face becomes so dried out. My new skin care regimen will make sure I obtain that balance which would heal my dry skin, rid my chin and nose of blemishes, and overall brighten my complexion.

For my particular skin type, Deb put me on the Sustaining System. This system consists of a cleanser, toner, glow creme and fine facial polish and on top of that, she suggested Enza's glycolic serum. My morning routine will begin with the sustaining cleanser. This will simply cleanse debris, my makeup, and excess dirt. Next, I will apply the cool sustaining toner which is to tone and help bring my PH back to balance. Lastly, I will apply sustaining glow creme as a moisturizer before heading out for classes!

At night, I have the whole routine again, and then some. I'll do the same routine as the morning, just with few additions. Before putting on my glow creme moisturizer, I will be using the glycolic serum. The glycolic serum is an anti-aging treatment that exfoliates and softens the skin. Even as a 20 year old, Deb informed me that my skin has already began its aging. By using this, I will be preventing the inevitable signs of aging, including wrinkles and drying out. The last part of my extensive new routine is the fine facial polish that I will use twice a week at night, between the cleanser and toner. The fine facial polish will act as an exfoliator to brighten my skin.

Wow. As a college student who hates mornings and routinely falls asleep on their homework, this is a little intimidating. Nonetheless, I'm really excited to start using the products and see my skin improve!  Wish me luck!
