Anti-aging Moisturizers | Facial Aesthetics

The two easiest and most important steps in a skin care routine: cleansing and moisturizing. Of course there are many things you can use in between, but if you’re a skin care minimalist you do NOT want to skip these two steps.

Anti-aging moisturizers are rising in popularity because they work two-fold: not only do they help moisturize the skin, but they also work to prevent wrinkles and improve cell turnover, age spots, resulting in younger, fresher, more vibrant looking skin.

So why is moisturizer so important?

Because it plays a role in all of the following:

Giving your skin that healthy glow: no one likes dull, flaky skin. Moisturizers help your skin look like it just took a big drink of water – giving it that hydrated, refreshed appearance. Moisturizing cream also helps you achieve a more flawless look after makeup application. Makeup sticks to dry areas of your face, accentuating those fine lines and wrinkles where visible. Give your moisturizer a few moments to set before applying sunscreen and foundation.
Keeping wrinkles at bay: moisturizing cream keeps the skin hydrated and refreshed so that collagen has a harder time breaking down causing fine lines and wrinkles to develop.
Managing acne flare-ups: you don’t want to feel greasy, but you don’t want to feel too dry either. Depending on your cleanser or any other product you apply before moisturizing, you can run the risk of experiencing redness or peeling if you don’t finish your routine with a light moisturizer.

While using multiple therapeutic products in an anti-aging program, you may feel hydrated enough to skip the application of this step. But don’t! Moisturizers are one of the last steps in your routine for a reason, they seal in the benefits of the therapeutic products you just applied to your skin and provide the long lasting effects of hydration.

The FINAL step is sunscreen.
Our moisturizers don’t contain SPF.

The truth is sunscreens aren’t moisturizers, and while the marriage of the two may add convenience to your routine, the products work better when applied on their own. Sunscreen applied after moisturizer gives you that layer of protection your skin needs. We recommend always choosing a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater.
