 Some people say that “beauty is only skin deep”…but does that mean you should not put the effort into taking care of your skin? Of course not! Most women, and even some men folk, want to keep their skin looking healthy and younger looking for as long as possible. Proper skin care should begin in your teen years, but it’s never too late to reap the benefits of a good skin care regime.
The first step in taking good care of your skin is cleansing it. Your skin is the largest organ and your face has the most delicate skin tissue on your body. Skin care experts agree that because of its drying effect, it’s never a good idea to use soap on your face. Using soap products on your face strips away the natural oil on your skin, leaving your skin feeling tight and dry. When the oil is stripped away, your skin must then produce more oil to replace what has been stripped away. Excess oil production is problematic because it often causes acne in many people.
SkinMedica Facial Cleanser is a soap free foaming facial cleanser that will gently remove make-up, dirt, dead skin, and environmental pollutants from your skin. Perfectly formulated for dry, oily, combination, aging or sensitive skin types, SkinMedica Facial Cleanser will refresh and hydrate your skin. This innovative formula combats dryness by combining botanical extracts, soothing agents, and hydrating emollients to make your skin feel smooth and silky each time you use it. Stop by Skin Gift to pick up your SkinMedical Facial Cleanser today.

 It’s a common mistake all women make…we take our hands for granted. Throughout our lifetime our hands perform amazing tasks for us, seemingly without much effort. We use them to cook and clean, take care of the children, work in the garden, exercise, work at the office, and perform other mundane tasks throughout the day. They are often exposed to harsh chemicals and extreme weather conditions. It’s easy to remember to take special care of our face because that is what we see in the mirror each day, but we often forget about our aging hands!
The back of the hand has very little fat under it which makes veins very visible. The skin on the back of the hand is very thin and more fragile than other parts of the body. Because the skin on the back of your hands is so delicate, the earliest signs of aging will show faster on your hands than other parts of the body. As we age our hands become loose and dry, and will often develop unsightly sunspots (liver spots) as well.
The great news is that you can turn back the clock on your aging hands by using Age Intervention Hands by Jan Marini. This remarkable hand cream is specifically designed to address discoloration, textural, and dryness issues so that your hands will feel and look rejuvenated! You’ll find this and other fabulous Jan Marini products available at Skin Gift.

 There’s a saying that your eyes are “the gateway to your soul”. No matter the color, the shape, or your age, your eyes attract constant attention. Our eyes are the first things that are noticed by people because they express our feelings and emotions.
Over time, the skin around our eyes tends to show the signs of aging. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness, or sagginess under the eyes typically begins to appear in our early thirties. Skin care experts agree that these signs of aging can be attributed to your sun exposure, smoking, medications, genetics, and other environmental factors.
The great news is that you can help turn back the clock and fight the signs of aging by using Dr. Obagi’s ZO Skin Health Aggressive Anti-Aging Treatment. The five step regiment includes the Offects Hydrated Cleanser, Offects Exfoliated Polish, Ossential Radical Night Repair Plus, Ommerse Multi-Active Day Moisture, and the Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer.

 You may experience dry facial skin for a variety of different reasons. Skin becomes dehydrated when oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. Your skin can also become dry due to repeated exposure to the elements, especially during the winter. Environmental factors such as chemicals, cosmetics, using harsh skin cleansers, and exposure to the sun, wind, or cold can affect your skin adversely.
Consuming specific foods are believed to help with dry skin issues. Dieticians say that dry skin suffers should eat a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds and nuts. If you are looking for your skin to remain smooth and youthful, consume garlic, onions, eggs, and asparagus. Yellow and orange vegetables are high in beta-carotene, an important skin antioxidant which will help keep you skin smooth. Eating fried foods leads to the production of free radicals which has a destructive effect on your skin.
Jan Marini’s Skin Care Management System for Very Dry Skin was developed to help improve the appearance of common skin conditions such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin discoloration, sun damage, acne, and rosacea. Jan Marini Skin Research developed this amazing skin care system to be used for prolonged use with no irritation to your skin.

 The warm spring and summer weather draws many people outdoors to enjoy the glorious sunshine. Exposure to the sun at times may seem to be harmless as it often gives many people a sun-kissed glow. The tanned appearance generated by the sun is often associated with being healthy, when it fact, the sun releases harmful UVA and UVB radiation onto the skin.
UVA radiation is a more constant source of exposure than UVB radiation, without the variations occurring during the day or throughout the year. UVB radiation affects the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin), and is the primary cause of sunburns.
Exposure to ultraviolet light will have damaging results to your skin. It is widely believed by skin care experts that having one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than double a person’s chance of developing skin cancer in adulthood. Exposure to UVA/UVB from sunlight accounts for 90% of wrinkles as well.
It is nearly impossible to avoid sunlight throughout your lifetime, so it’s imperative to protect your skin before you venture outdoors. Obagi’s Nu-Derm Sun Shield is a broad spectrum sunscreen. This sheer long lasting sunscreen has SPF 50 and is safe for all skin types. You can find this great sunscreen and other fine Obagi products available at Skin Gift.
