In addition to the basic daily needs, your skin also has advanced needs. Starting in our late 20s, our advanced needs steadily increase.

When specific skin concerns such as discoloration, acne, free radical damage, and aging exist, addressing these concerns is critical for skin health and beauty. Incorporating regimen steps to target the skin's advanced needs gives your skin the needed advantage of advanced skin care. Consider some of the following advanced needs:

• Nourish: For protecting skin health and maintaining youthfulness, the nourish step is essential. You can nourish the skin with powerful antioxidants to neutralize free radicals that damage and prematurely age the skin.

• Treat: The treat step meets an essential advanced need of the skin when key components, functions, or structures within the skin are compromised, leading to signs of premature aging. Treatment products are specially formulated to target those key skin components. These include Retinoic acid, Placenta, etc.

• Refinish: The refinish step focuses on skin that has become dull and rough. Refinishing helps to resurface and polish the skin for a fresh, glowing complexion.

• Exfoliate: When environmental stressors and intrinsic aging begin to interfere with healthy cell renewal, the exfoliate step becomes important. Exfoliation helps remove dead cell buildup for smoother, more youthful looking skin and can stimulate the cell renewal process. This is done once to twice a week only.

• Mask: The mask step meets an essential advanced need of the skin when the skin requires a concentrated application of key ingredients for an extended period of time. Masks are an excellent way to meet the skin's various needs. Some masks deliver key ingredients to the skin, while others draw out impurities.

• Rejuvenate: Tired, stressed skin requires the essential step revitalize to restore vibrancy and promote cellular energy. This need should be met once per week after cleansing.
