The Basic Care Steps

Step 1:

Cleanse

Cleanse your face and neck every morning and night with a non drying facial cleanser.  It is best to cleanse in circular motions in an upward and outwards direction. Massage your cleanser for 60 seconds to ensure proper removal of dirt, debris and cosmetics.  We love a mildly exfoliating cleanser using natural fruit acids to dissolve skin cells aiding in better penetration of your follow up products.  Try out the AHA-BHA Renewal Cleanser , this non-irritating creamy facial cleanser is ideal for cleansing and renewing the skin without harsh abrasives.  You can even see a difference right away!

Step 2:

Tone & Balance

Our specialists recommend toning your skin after cleansing your face and throat areas with an all natural toner or tonique.  It is one of the most important steps in your skin care regime, yet often neglected. A toner adjusts the pH of your skin back to normal after cleansing which is critical to balance the skin.  Specialty toners will also remove any deep traces of cosmetics or dirt from the skin and also offer hydration or humectant properties. A cotton ball is best used massaging the tonic in upwards and outwards motions.  Some toners, like the Rose Damascene Hyaluronic Tonique may be misted on the skin for hydrating, anti-aging and balancing as often as needed.  Sevani specialty toniques are designed to tone, hydrate and minimize imperfections.  The popular Advanced Complexion Corrector tonic minimizes age spots, acne, wrinkles and rosacea and smells heavenly or rose geranium while smoothing and refining the skin texture.

Step 3:

Hydrate

Apply a natural cream, serum and/or moisturizer your face and neck areas every morning and night after you cleanse and tone. Always moisturize your face and neck in upward motions.   This step is essential to replenish moisture while feeding the skin essential nutrients, antioxidants and anti-aging elixirs.  We love to layer a serum first,  as they deliver a dose of potent nutrients deep into the cells, then layer with a cream which protects the skin from the outermost elements that can cause damage.  Sevani serums and creams are 100% natural and free from dimethicones and materials that “suffocate” the skin.  Pure botanicals combined with cutting edge actives are best to deliver hydration to the deepest layers.

**Always use circular, upward motions and gentle pressure. Never pull, tug or rub skin aggressively.  The most delicate skin of the eye area requires gentle tapping motions, using the ring finger working inwards towards the bridge of the nose.

Daytime: You will not get a great moisturizer combined with an SPF due to the % of active ingredient required for sun protection.  Our specialists recommend layering, first applying a quality moisturizer like the AHA Renewal Creme  filled with active nutrients and anti-aging ingredients.  Then gently massage the SPF product like Sevani Daily Mineral Guard SPF20, made of all natural ingredients to protect the outermost layer. This will also help to prevent age spots and aging.

The Extra Steps that Defy the Aging Process & Offer Additional Benefits:

Exfoliation:

As we age, skin cells slow their shedding process.  It is essential to exfoliate to get proper penetration of your quality products.  There are several ways to exfoliate.  Some prefer mild natural acids of a cleanser or toner, while AHA creams also offer cell dissolving benefits to renew.  Simply exfoliate your face and neck in circular upward gentle motions with gentle products. Nature provides super fruit acids and enzymes, which minimizes the risks of abrasive scrubs, loofahs and harsh ingredients. You would never take scouring pad to your fine china so please don’t do it to your far more precious face.  Daily or weekly use of exfoliating products will impart a healthy glow.  Harsh scrubs can break capillaries and cause inflammation.  We recommend the Sevani AHA cleanser, AHA cream an the Advanced Complexion Corrector for gentle EFFECTIVE exfoliation.

Eye Crèmes & Serums

Products for the eyes are designed to super moisturize the thinnest most delicate area of your face. When you apply eye products, always use your ring finger or pinky to apply products around the delicate area of your eyes. Your pinky and ring finger are weak by nature and force you to apply gentle pressure.  Simply dab or lightly tap the products around your eyes working inwards.  Serums may be oil or gel based and ultra hydrating for the eye area.  We recommend layering a serum followed by a cream for maximum anti-aging benefits.

Masques

Use a specialty masque twice weekly to detoxify, renew, and rejuvenate. Select a specialty masque for your particular skin concerns and feel the difference in your skin.  Apply the masque for 15-20 minutes either while showering (convenient) or at your convenience. Gently and thoroughly remove the mask with warm water. And after you mask always tone and moisturize your face and neck.

Why are these steps important?

Every day our skin combats the effects of sun, smoke, pollution, toxic chemicals and the natural aging process. Proper care of your skin will make a difference, and you will be rewarded with a more youthful appearance.  Imagine if you did nothing? The skin care products that you select should be filled with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and nutrients. If you can’t decided between a natural or chemical filled product, consider the difference between eating fresh fruit or a donut.

The choice is yours!  Prevention can start today.
