Combination / Clogged Pores - Advice

Do’s

1. Professional Care
Regular facials by one of our qualified skin care therapists can help keep normal skin healthy.
2. Maintain A Proper Daily Skincare Regimen
  • Exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, jojoba beads) to slough off dead skin cells.
  • Hydrating ingredients (panthenol, ceramides, sodium PCA) to moisturize the skin and keep it balanced.
  • Vitamin C and other antioxidants to neutralize aging free radicals and prevent unwanted pigmentation.
  • Anti-inflammatories (aloe, allantoin) to diminish redness and irritation when breakouts occur.
3. Seasonal Care
Cooler weather and heated rooms may mean that your skin needs more hydration during the autumn and winter.
4. Environmental Protection From The Outside
Daily use of full-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen protection keeps skin looking young and healthy by helping prevent environmental damage.
5. Murad Internal Skincare Supplement Protection From The Inside
Youth Builder Dietary Supplement is clinically proven to reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles by 34% with:
  • A complex of amino acids and glucosamine, the building blocks for healthy collagen and tissue formation.
  • Vitamin B6, essential for healthy skin.
  • Antioxidants such as grape seed extract, Vitamins A, C and E to neutralize aging free radical damage.
  • Pomphenol® Sunguard is clinically proven to boost topical sunscreen protection by 25% from the inside with Pomegranate extract containing powerful polyphenol (a type of antioxidant) ellagic acid to neutralize free radical damage that accounts for more than 80% of the signs of premature aging.
6. Target Your Concerns
Tailor your at-home product regimen and book professional treatments around the specific skin problems you would like to resolve or preventive measures you wish to take. Keep in mind that your skincare needs may vary from season to season, or even from week to week.
When in doubt or if you have multiple concerns, a good approach is to use products that repair and protect from environmental damage during the day, and to treat your other concerns by night.

Don’ts

1. Tanning
The tan you get today, is the tan you'll be paying for the rest of your life in the form of premature aging, lines, wrinkles, age spots, uneven texture and worse. Whether outdoors or in a sun bed, even if you don't burn, all tans are damaging to your skin and to your health and may lead to skin cancer. If you can't live without the glow, self-tanners are both cosmetically pleasing and safe.
2. Smoking
Smoking is one of the worst kinds of environmental damage there is because the burning toxins are literally in your face, up close and personal.
3. Over Processing
Using skincare products in greater dosages or more frequently than is recommended, can do more harm than good, trigger a reaction and damage the skin.
