Have you ever wondered how some people have such glowing, youthful skin? Well, I will tell you it’s not simply “good genes.” You have to work hard to fight the elements, stress, and natural aging process. Which is why my first recommendation to most people is creating an ongoing skin care strategy. This entails regularly scheduled facials to target problem areas, a great skin care regime and of course plenty of water and sleep.

The results when implementing these strategies are shocking and you will see people lose 10 years off their appearance in just a matter of months. One of the things that you will have to understand though is your daily skin care. At Ximena Skin Care Clinic I devote my time to giving you the best care, but after you leave our office you need to make sure you are taking your skincare seriously. I can surely give you recommendations of how to start this process!

The first thing you will have to do is identify the type of skin you have. I can definitely help you with this at your next appointment. Here are your options:

• Dry skin is flaky, scaly, or rough.
• Oily skin is shiny, greasy, and may have big pores.
• Combination skin is dry in some spots (cheeks) and oily in others (forehead, nose, and chin).
• Sensitive skin may sting, burn, or itch after you use some makeup or other products.
• Normal skin is balanced, clear, and not sensitive.

Take a moment and think about your skin and what the characteristics are. Now that you know which type of skin you have, you will also have to identify your problem areas. This is where daily treatment is very important. Here are a few to think about and we can dive into more specialized treatment at your next facial:

• Acne & Blemishes
• Dry Skin
• Eye Area
• Lines & Wrinkles
• Sun Spots and Discoloration
• Sensitive Skin
• Signs of Aging

Now that we have identified a lot of things to consider, it is time to pick out the best regimen for your skin and your budget. That’s where Ximena Skin Care Clinic can help. We can assess these factors and help you find a three-part system, which is a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, as well as a great eye cream that can help with crow’s feet, bags, puffiness, and dark circles and of course treatment products based on the areas your skin needs some help with.
