 You only have one set of lips so don’t forget to take good care of them. Good lip care should always be part of your daily lip care regime. Lip skin is very sensitive and tender with three to five cellular layers. Not having any sebaceous glands, lips will dry out faster than other skin and become chapped more easily. Additionally, as part of the aging process, lips tend to shrink and thin.
Here are a few tips to keep your lips looking young and healthy:
• Just like with other parts of your body, dry skin causes wrinkles, so it’s important to keep your lips well hydrated.
• Exfoliating dead skin will help generate new soft skin.
• Protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays by using lip balm with SPF.
• Natural remedies for your lips include: honey as a natural moisturizer, lemon to remove dark spots on your lips, and Vitamin E oil or almond oil to reduce lip lines and add moisture.
As we age, without proper lip care, the signs of aging will begin to show quickly upon your lips. Having plump healthy pink lips will help take years off of your appearance. Jane Iredale has many lip care products that will help keep your lips beautiful and healthy looking. Stop by Skin Gift to check our Jane Iredale Lip Drink Lip Balm, Just Kissed – Lip Plumper, Sugar & Butter Lip Exfoliator, and Pure Gloss in a variety of beautiful shades.

If you have truly oily skin, you know it. No matter how often you wash, your T-zone is an oil slick by the end of the day. Your pores are large and visible to the naked eye.
You may or may not have acne- oily skin doesn’t necessarily mean you have acne. There are products that can help control your oil production and keep you looking fresh all day.
Jane Iredale is the premier name in mineral makeup. Her skincare is carried exclusively by doctors and med spas. She has a variety of pure, natural products targeted for oily skin.
Absence is perfect for controlling oil and as a primer. Oil on the skin can change the color of your makeup. Absence keeps your makeup looking like you just applied it. It comes in a sheer finish to control oil and even make pores appear smaller.
To top of your makeup with a flawless finish, use one of her matte powders. Amazing Matte Loose Finish Powder and Pure Matte Finish Powder are brushed on top of foundation.
Made from highly absorbent rice starch, they soak up oil and shine all day. Your skin will have a beautiful matte finish without dryness or dullness.
As summer heat ups, acne sufferers can find they have more breakouts then usual. Acne is caused when dead skin cells build up in the follicle. Trapped oil and bacteria cause inflammation and redness.
Everyone sheds dead cells into the follicle, but some people aren’t able to turn them over as quickly, leading to the plug. Dirt will not cause acne, but bacteria are definitely part of the equation.
If you’re looking for an effective, quick treatment, Obagi Medical’s Clenziderm System can clear up acne in just a few weeks. This three part system uses a cleanser, toner, and treatment.
The first step is a salicylic based cleanser to clean thoroughly and kill bacteria at the same time. Step two is a salicylic toner that feels and smells light and refreshing.
The last step is a benzoyl peroxide serum gel that penetrates deep into the follicle to kill acne bacteria where it lives. The Clenziderm System is unique because the molecule in the benzoyl peroxide is 1/10,000th size of other medications.
Other acne products sit primarily on the skin and not in the follicle. Obagi’s Clenziderm System is quick and easy to follow and gives quick results.

Now that your skin is looking fantastic, you can bring things to another level by using products that complement the Obagi Nu-Derm System. Elastiderm Eye Cream or Gel is a unique product that actually stimulates elastin production around the eyes.
Elastin is what gives skin its tautness and “snapback”. Skin will tighten and fine lines and puffiness will disappear!
Elastiderm Décolletage System is designed to repair the often neglected chest and neck area. This two part system lightens age spots and sun damage while removing those annoying little lines we start to get as we age.
The Decolletage System is easy and quick to use. Just two pumps of each product in the morning and at night will revitalize and renew your skin.
To keep aging at bay, a C serum is essential. Obagi’s Professional C Serums contain stabilized Vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidants kill free radicals that cause aging of the skin. Vitamin C also brings down redness, inflammation, and is excellent for rosacea patients. Collagen production is stimulated resulting in plumper, firmer skin. Skin appears brighter and more even toned.

You’ve prepared your skin for the active ingredients and started to improve it by removing sun damage and the dead top layer of the skin. Now, you’re ready to use the Obagi Nu-Derm System to go deep into the dermis to literally change the health and resilience of your skin.
Step #5 in the system is Blender. This product is blended with prescription Retin A for an intense anti-aging effect.
Damaged, aged skin has a thick layer of dead, built-up skin cells. Overproduction of melanin causes pigmentation and age spots. Collagen and elastin fibers deep in the dermis are damaged and weak.
Blender mixed with Retin A will thin out old skin cells and leave skin more hydrated. Pigment cells stop overproducing melanin.
The supporting skin structure underneath becomes strong and resilient again. Collagen and elastin plump and tighten the skin.
Over time, unhealthy skin cells are shed and new skin cells actually look and act younger. Skin is clear, even-toned, glowing and youthful.

Now that your skin has been prepared with the first two steps in the Obagi Nu-Derm System, you are ready to start to improve the skin. Step #3 is Obagi Clear.
Clear contains prescription strength hydroquinone to remove sun damage, freckles, age spots, melasma, and even out your skin tone. Follow with step #4 Exfoderm or Exfoderm Forte.
Made from plant acids, this lotion gently resurfaces the skin and removes dead, dull build-up from old skin cells. Your skin will regain the youthful glow it once had.
Use the Forte if your skin is very oily or thick. Because men naturally have thicker skin, Exfoderm Forte may be the best choice. Clear and Exfoderm remove aging and sun damage to improve your skin more than you ever thought possible.
