It’s never too early or too late to start caring for your skin.  Whether it’s maintaining a youthful complexion, boosting radiance or supporting skin’s resilience, here are six reasons to start a daily skin care regimen now.

Impurities Build Up Day and Night.  Cleansing in the morning as well as before bed can remove impurities and clear pores, helping them to appear smaller.  Plus, skin has a clean start for any step that follows.

Skin Can Use a Booster.  Exfoliating two-to-three times a week can help skin turn over new cells more quickly for a more radiant complexion.  A mask can provide added perks on alternating days, whether it’s to unclog pores, hydrate or fight the visible signs of aging.Achieve Big Results from Concentrated Dosages.  That’s the beauty of serums.  They can provide powerful immediate and long-term benefits concentrated in a lightweight texture that layers easily under moisturizers.

The Eye Area is Unique.  The skin is delicate and prone to unique signs of visible aging and fatigue, such as early fine lines, puffiness and dark circles.  So a formula dedicated to the eye area is important in addition to an all-over facial moisturizer.

UV Rays Don’t Take a Break.  Rain or shine, they can significantly accelerate visible premature skin aging.  So help delay the appearance of those wrinkles and dark spots by using sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher every day

Nighttime is Prime Recovery Time.  During the day, skin must defend against environmental stressors.  So at night, the focus can be on strengthening the skin barrier and replenishing antioxidant and moisture reserves.  Use this valuable recovery time to regain what was lost.
