Smart, Modern, Do-It-Yourself Skin Care

In "Recapturing Your Skin's Youth" Dr Lancer recommends a 3 step, twice a day system as the start of an anti-aging program. Dr Lancers calls this a smart, modern, do-it-yourself skin care routine. It is a straightforward home care routine we recommend to our clients as well.

Morning: 

Morning skin care Trio

1. Cleanse - massage your face, eyelids, neck and chest with a non-irritating cleanser for 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Suggestion: Pelasante Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Papaya enzymes and green tea extracts

2. Nourish - apply a nourishing product with free-radical scavenging antioxidants to face, neck and chest. Pelasante Power Hydrator for Face and Neck with antioxidant Green tea and Reservatrol.

3. Protect - follow with at least an SPF 30 sunscreen, preferably with antioxidants.  
Pelasante Anti-Photoaging Sunscreen SPF50+ Antioxidant

Night: 
1. Polish - Sensitive skin start once a week and increase to every 3 days. Using an exfoliant, polish the damp skin on face, neck and chest for 60 to 90 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. Suggestion: md formulations Face  and Body Scrub with Glycolic acid and gentle polishing granules.

Please note: At Tuscany Spa we do NOT recommend Daily use of a polish/scrub on the face or neck as it can lead to inflamed, irritated skin and increased dark spots/hyperpigmentation. Scrub/Polish the skin every 3rd day. Do NOT rub vigorously, be gentle. You can also "soften" your exfoliant by mixing it with your cleanser. 

2. Cleanse - massage face, eyelid, neck and chest with a non-irritating cleanser, for 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

3. Nourish - apply a nourishing product with free-radical scavenging antioxidants to face, neck and chest. Pelsante Fortified Moisturizer with Vitamins A, C , E; Co-Q10, Lipids and Green Tea.

(Note: CoQ-10/ CoEnzyme Q-10 is an antioxidant with the ability to regenerate the skin, easily absorbed and a close relative of the newer idebenone. Highly recommended by Dr Lancer)

3b. Enhance - Take your anti-aging routine to the next level with an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) or Retinol product under, or in place of, your Nourishing night product.
AHA  at 10%+ concentration can lighten age spots, minimize appearance of fine lines, improve texture, minimize acne, stimulate cell turnover and can be used nightly.  Suggestion: Pelasante Gly Facial Creme 10% or 15% Glycolic Acid and with Vit A,C,E, Co-Q10 and Green Tea extract.

Retinols really work to reverse years of sun and environmental damage, they are similar to AHA's but go further signaling the skin to produce new collage and hyaluronic acid. Retinols combined with an anti-inflammatory such as green tea polyphenols are less irritating and great for sensitive skin. Try: RETINOL SMOOTHING SERUM 10X with Green Tea and Hyaluronic Acid. Start once or twice a week and gradually increase to nightly or every other night.

Dr Lancer recommendation for Dryness or Crepe-y skin around the eye: Apply an eye cream after your nighttime nourishing step. It should have same nourishing cream ingredients but be lightweight, lower concentration and formulated specifically for the eye. Apply just under eyebrow and under eye to where bottom lashes begin. Pelasante Corrective Eye cream contains 90% Green Tea, Retinol, peptides, vit K and antioxidants for firmer skin,  reduce appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
