I believe that your skin is as individual as your fingerprints, and that taking care of it is an essential part of your beauty routine which should never be skipped. Although we’ve all fallen into bed once or twice without taking our make-up off, finding the best skin care regimen for you should be a one of your biggest priorities. Skincare doesn’t have to be an hour long chore. The important part is finding the right routine, not only for your busy calendar, but to make sure you’re taking the best care possible of your skin.
An extra 10 minutes in the morning can make a huge difference to your outward appearance, and there’s no doubt that the occasional pampering night with your favorite girlfriends and a selection of fantastic products is a great pick-me-up. Whether you feel that your routine needs a complete overhaul, or simply that you’re not getting the best from your current regimen I promise you that fabulous skin is just a click or two away.
If you read a lot of celebrity news, you might be under the impression that the only way to make sure that your skin looks youthful, smooth and healthy is to use fillers, botox or even more invasive plastic surgery – that really isn’t the case. Skin care products have come so far in recent years it’s completely possible to have a great complexion just by making sure that you chose the products which are right for you.
Like so many things in life, it’s way easier to prevent damage than it is to fix it, which is why I take huge pride in having one of the most extensive skin care ranges currently available! My skin care products are carefully developed for all skin types, and every skin care issue that you’re likely to encounter. Whether you are having issues with acne or your problem is with dull, dry skin. I’m certain that I have the best skin care products for women available today.
You don’t have to take my word for it – Inance natural skin care products are so successful that they have been featured many times on National TV and in print publications, such as The Bethanny Show, Instyle Magazine and have even been voted OK Magazine’s Product of the Year (Inance Retinol).
It’s so important to me that the women I mentor feel their best in every way – and healthy, glowing skin is a huge part of any fabulous look! I believe that having an effective skin care regimen means that you will always feel pampered, luxurious and that this in turn will help you to project that incredible confidence and assurance that you see every day in your favorite celebrities.
I’d like to take this opportunity to talk to you all about the best skin care products for some of the most common problems, and how to establish the best skin care regimen for you.
Anti-Aging Skincare
Anti-Aging is probably one of the hottest topics in skin care products online. It’s never, ever too early to start protecting your skin from the signs of aging! Even if you are starting to develop lines or age spots, I have the best skin care products available to help you minimize or eliminate them.
There are many causes of premature aging – poor skin care, lack of hydration, over exposure to sun and the elements and, of course, smoking. If your skin care regimen has been lacking up until now, it’s easy to believe that it’s too late, but I’m happy to say that’s rarely ever the case! With careful selection of products, you’ll be amazed at the difference even a couple of weeks can make to how your skin looks and how you feel about yourself.
Although it’s commonly believed that the only way to eliminate the signs of aging skin is with surgery, there are many, many less invasive options available to you before you opt for Botox or fillers. Having a really effective skin care regimen can help to combat many of the early signs of premature aging, just by choosing your products carefully and making sure that you use them religiously every day.
I believe that one of the most effective ways of combating aging skin is by using Retinol. This incredible product is a derivative of Vitamin A, and helps with so many every day issues. It boosts collagen to minimize fine lines, helps to even out skin tone, and even smoothes the skin. Several studies have shown that Retinol can help brighten skin in only four weeks, which is absolutely incredible.
I’ve developed a whole range of Retinol products, which include Pure Retinol Cream – this wonderful cream is best used at night, before bed. While you sleep, it’s working away to even out your complexion, boost your collagen levels and give you that firm, youthful glow that we all want. No scalpels, no surgery and no scars – just healthy, attractive skin that speaks volumes about your health and vitality.
One of our top skin care products is our Intense Retinol Mask, which is ultra sensitive and ideal for anyone who experiences redness or sensitivity to other skin care products. It’s fragrance free, and contains soothing and anti-inflammatory Rosehip Seed Oil – I love this product so much, my skin always looks amazing after I use it. It’s the perfect weekly treat for your complexion, or as a boost before a special event or night on the town!
Skin Lightening
One of the most common complaints that I hear from women is that their complexion has become uneven or that they have developed dark spots due to aging or sun damage.
‘Age spots’ are areas of hyper pigmentation, and in most women this appears as small, irregular dark spots – although they are most common on the face, they can also show up on the hands, neck and cleavage areas. They are notoriously difficult to cover with makeup, as it’s very hard to get even coverage without making the skin look ashy. In some cases, concealer and foundation can actually draw attention to them by making the hyper pigmented areas look almost dirty. Fortunately, although it was almost impossible to treat age spots in the past, the amazing advances in skin care over the last decade have made it much easier to reduce their appearance.
Although the most common cause is over exposure to the sun, some women find that they appear during periods of hormonal change. This could include pregnancy, a change in contraception or even if you are unusually stressed for any reason. Whatever the reason for the changes in your skin, there is always a solution.
Although age spots can be upsetting, annoying and really hard to hide with make-up, I have created some incredible skincare cosmetics which have been carefully developed to counteract this damage. As with all Inance skin care lines, I take great pride in saying that they have been created not to mask problems, but to treat them. One of my personal favorites is Inance Fade Cream. It’s been specially formulated to stop melanin synthesis, which in turn helps to prevent the accumulation of pigment. It also does the most amazing job of brightening your complexion, leaving it clean, clear and healthy looking.
If you find that you have freckles which darken following exposure to the sun, you might wish to consider trying my blockbuster treatment, Inance Fade Cream. Not only does this work perfectly to reduce the appearance of freckles, it can also minimize the appearance of melasma and age spots. Another alternative for all of these skin conditions would be my Inance Balancer– applied as and when needed, it works small miracles to help lighten hyper-pigmentation and even out your complexion.
Finally, if you’re looking for a treatment which packs a real punch, consider my Inance Hydrate an – its specially d Brighten gel is a blended formula of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and 4-Hexylresorcinol combine to produce four times the lightening effects of Hydroquinone alone.
Inance Pure Vitamin C Serum is an all in one beauty treatment which packs a real punch – not only will it lighten and brighten your skin, it’s squeezed full of incredible ingredients which will nourish and treat your complexion and leave it looking it’s best. I’ve seen some of the ladies I work with experience incredibly fast results using this serum, which is safe for everyday use but can also be used as a pick-me-up if your skin is feeling a little dull, or before an important event.
Acne
Most people believe acne to be a teenage problem, it’s something that I have found many women experience throughout their life. It can be such a problem for some people that they have worked their way through most of the major skin care brands looking for a solution. As with most skin care issues, there are so many causes, but some of the most common are stress, fatty foods and poor skin care, as well as hormonal problems.
I believe that it’s important to find balance when treating any skin condition – there’s no point in simply masking it; you also need to treat it. That’s why I’ve carefully sourced the most effective ingredients for my treatments, to ensure that they aren’t just a quick fix; they also help to solve the underlying issues. It’s important to find products that help to keep your pores clear, discourage the production of excess oils and gently soothe inflammation. More than any other skin condition, it’s vital to be sure that the products that you are using are an effective treatment rather than just a camouflage. It’s possible that just piling on concealer and foundation to cover acne will actually make it worse – it’s far better to invest in controlling it to begin with than just covering it when it appears.
My Inance Home Care Acne Pads are a great example of this – not only do they contain Salicylic Acid to penetrate and clean your pores, but also Glycolic Acid. Glycolic Acid gently exfoliates the skin, which helps to prevent the clogged pores than can lead to break outs and spots. It’s best to prepare your skin using my Inance cleanser and toner, then carefully exfoliate with one of the pads. There’s no need to go crazy with the pressure – the Glycolic Acid will do most of the work for you, and over-enthusiastic rubbing can actually aggravate your skin which will not help at all! The key to treating acne affectively is to be gentle in all ways – using both sensitive products and a sensitive touch.
It’s so important to make sure that you keep to a regular skin care routine if you experience acne or frequent break outs – making sure that you put time aside each day to pamper your skin will mean that you have far more control over the excess oils and clogged pores that can lead to acne.
If you’re looking for a quick fix because you’ve had a break out just before a special event, look no further than my truly essential Inance Acne Stick. This gem of a product is a celebrity favorite, due to its concentrated Salicylic Acid formula - its unique pen style applicator means that it’s the perfect tool for treating problem areas, and the Salicylic Acid helps to unclog pores and follicles. If you’re feeling anxious about a big date or job interview, this will help you to control any unwanted spots and give you the confidence to go out and shine! It’s also convenient to keep in your makeup bag, so if you feel a spot emerging you can dab some on and start treatment regardless of where you are.
Preventing Damage
There’s almost no question that when it comes to skincare, prevention is better than cure. That’s why I’ve spent so much time sourcing a fabulous collection of sunscreen skin care products to ensure that your skin never looks less than its best. It’s not just a question of looking good – there are some very real and serious health benefits to making sure that you protect your skin from the most harmful of the sun’s radiation.
It’s widely known now that the greatest enemy of youthful looking skin is the sun – as much as sunshine is essential for our well-being and health, it’s not your friend when it comes to keeping your skin looking good throughout your life.
Fortunately, science has come to the rescue and now it’s possible to enjoy your vacation without having to worry about the potential damage that is being done to your complexion. It’s super important to make sure that your sun protection has broad spectrum protection, and that it’s water resistant – my Inance Sunscreen has both of these properties, and best of all it also contains active ingredients to help relax and nourish the skin, to help you avoid irritation and discomfort.
I’ve even developed a ‘Protect and Correct’ Kit, especially designed to help you care for your skin when you know that you’re going to be exposed to the sun – this super handy kit contains Inance Protect SPF 55 Sunscreen, and Inance Skin Care Vitamin C Serum. Vitamin C can work wonders for your complexion, by helping it to produce collagen and keep its elasticity and also by neutralizing free radicals, which are known for damaging skin and contributing to premature aging.
It’s really easy to focus on your clothes and make-up when it comes to looking good, but if you want to look really polished, making the most of your skin should be one of your first priorities.
Of course, the added bonus is that taking care of your skin has health benefits – we all know by now that over exposure to the sun can lead to melanomas, which are obviously very serious. The only way to prevent this is by making sure that your skin care routine includes broad spectrum sunscreen, and never skipping it – particularly if you spend a lot of time in warm climates where sun damage to the skin is more obvious.
My experience in this area is highlighted by some of the incredible people and publications that I’ve been lucky enough to work with – not only has my skin care range been featured in Elle Magazine, Affluent and Go, I’ve had so many wonderful and supportive tweets from celebrities such as Lisa Rinna, Gretchen Rossi and Kym Johnson.
Knowing that your skin looks fantastic is a huge confidence boost, which will show in the way that you carry and present yourself, and allow your inner beauty to shine through.
