- QUESTION:
My skin is mature, thick and dull looking. I have read in
magazines that Glycoli Acid Peels will help. Is this true
and what is a Glycolic Acid Peel?
ANSWER:
Yes, Glycolic Acid Peels will help your skin providing you
seek the advise of your Skin Care Specialist first. Glycolic
Acid has the smallest molecular size which allows this acid
to penetrate into the skin. It acts as an exfoliant "sloughing"
away the top layer of dead skin cells leaving your skin
smoother and healthier looking. Consult your Skin Care Expert
first. 1-800-604-FACE
- QUESTION:
What can be done for spots on my face that are lighter in
color than the rest of my skin shade? My make up foundation
will not stay on.
ANSWER: This is called Hypo-Pigmentation which means lack
of melanin (color pigments). Permenant Make Up can be one
option and a special make up foundation called Camouflage
is another. Glymcam Camouflage is an excellent choice because
it stays on longer and you can make it water proof when
you apply a fixer powder over the camouflage make up. Consult
your Skin Care Expert first for a perfect match and a make
up lesson. 1-800-604-FACE
- QUESTION:
I have suffered from acne which has left scars all over
my face and neck. I don't want to take drugs or have surgery
so how can my Aesthetician help me?
ANSWER:
There are a few different choices. One is Microdermabrassion,
which is a mechanical device that uses crystals that exfoliate
the dead skin off the top layer of your skin. This technique
can help to soften scars. This is not a surgical procedure
and your Aesthetician can perform them. Other excellent
choices are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid or
Jessnor Peels that are done in a series with an aggressive
home care routine. Consult your Skin Care Expert first.

- QUESTION:
My hands are very dry and have many dark age spots. I get
frequent manicures now on a regular basis and this makes
the skin on my hands stand out more. I use a very expensive
hand cream from a well know Cosmetic company several times
a day. What else is a girl to do?
ANSWER: Obviously this cream you purchase is not doing its
job! See your Skin Care Expert who will evaluate your condition.
You need to heal and feed the skin on your hands and protect
them with a sunscreen every day, RAIN OR SHINE/ (Also wear
protective gloves on your hands when you do chores around
the house both inside and outside gardening). The dark age
spots that bother you can be lightened by using an aggressive
home care your Aesthetician recommends. 1-800-604-FACE
- QUESTION:
My skin is oily and I get a few pimples every month. How
can I get the oil under control so I don't get these pimples?
ANSWER: Salicylic Acid Washes and Salicylic Astringents
are very useful in this situation (providing you are not
allergic to aspirin). They unplug your pores by flaking
away the upper layer of skin. Regular use seems to normalize
overly productive oil glands. Be sure to apply a moisturizer
and use sunscreen every day. Consult your Skin Care Expert
first. 1-800-604-FACE
- QUESTION:
I have never visited an Aesthetician for a facial or consultation.
What can I expect?
ANSWER
Get a referral from a friend or family member who goes to
an Aesthetician. When you do go, expect time to be spent
on a consultation first. Then the actual facial. Your Skin
Care Expert will evaluate your skin and perform the proper
facial to suit you. Don't forget to continue the facial
experience at home and be faithful to yourself for the best
results. It does pay off. 1-800-604-FACE

is needed for your Skin Care Expert to determine the strengths

- QUESTION:
Where can I get information on becoming an Aesthetician
(Skin Care Specialist)?
ANSWER:
Contact your local Aesthetic, Cosmetology and Trade Schools
in your telephone Directory and ask for an informational
package on their program. Each state will vary in the length
of time an Aesthetic Course can run. Go have several facials
and ask the Aesthetician where they went to school and where
they go for continuing education. There are several different
directions you can go with a license. You can work in a
Spa, a Salon or in a medical setting. Do your homework first
to get the most information. Good luck! 1-800-604-FACE

I am a 35 year old male and I am concerned with my skin.
It has been getting dry and flakey. My wife uses a Glycolic
wash every day and told me to try it. Can men us Glycolic
also?
ANSWER: Absolutely. Skin is skin. It doesn't matter if you
are male or female. A Glycolic wash once a day will make
your skin look more alive. Make sure you use a sunscreen
every morning and use a moisturizer in the eve for best
results. Also consult your Skin Care Expert first. 1-800-604-FACE
- QUESTION:
Is Sunscreen enough to protect my skin?
ANSWER:
Sunscreen alone does not guarantee top protection. Avoiding
direct sun rays midday between 10:00am and 2:00pm will help
because an estimated 50% of a summer day's UV radiation
reaches the earth during that time. Even avoiding a small
amount of sun during these peak hours is more realistic
and can still make a difference. Don't forget to wear protective
clothing when outside. It is also important factor when
cutting down on UV exposure.
