Choose The Right Facial For Your Age
How Your Skin-Care Needs Change Through Decades

• Early 20s or 30s - EARLY PHOTOAGING: EARLY PIGMENTARY CHANGES, NO KERATOSES, FINE WRINKLES
  
  This client will need mostly education, sunscreen, and topical antioxidants. Enzymes during hydration facials will remove any accumulated surface debris, and an occasional light microdermabrasion will allow her skin to easily accept home care products. She won't need peels or products to speed up exfoliation yet. A light-emitting diode (LED) therapy is good for this client as aging prevention, post mask, as are peptide-dermal stimulation products.
  
  
• 30s to 40s - EARLY TO MODERATE PHOTOAGING: Environmental damage may show up (as fine lines and blotches). EARLY SENILE LENTIGINES, NO VISIBLE KERATOSES
  
  This client will need all the above, plus superficial resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and anti-aging home care products, such as 8-10 percent glycolic home care products or retinols, or even bot. Use enzyme masks with every facial as the client's deep cleanser to remove dead cells and increase penetration of professional skincare and home skincare products. If a resurfacer series is chosen as the professional program, it should consist of a gentle lactic acid, not glycolic acid, supported by LED treatments.
  
  
• 50-Plus - ADVANCED PHOTOAGING: DYSCHROMIA AND TELANGIECTASIA, VISIBLE KERATOSES. WRINKLES AT REST.
  
  This client will need all of the above, plus combination therapies such as microdermabrasion and LED, or higher acids/peels combined with LED as well as herbal peels, and micro current is a good combination therapy for this skin. Her home care needs to be intense now, with many peptides and exfoliants like retinol and alpha-hydroxy acids.
  
  
• 60s or 70s - SEVERE PHOTOAGING: DYNAMIC AND GRAVITATIONAL WRINKLING, Multiple ACTINIC KERATOSES
  
  This client will need all the above, plus medium-depth peels like the herbal peel, TCA peels, or high alpha-hydroxy acids. Using the highest percentages available of great ingredients in well-designed formulations is important, as is intensive home care. This client needs serious anti-aging techniques
  
  

• For Added Radiance: Sweep Mineral Illuminator just above cheek bones and blend outward
  
  
• For Flawless Skin: Smooth on a primer. Apply Mineral Powder Foundation SPF15, then sponge on more wherever extra coverage is needed.
  
  
• For mega-watt lashes: Apply SuperWear Mascara to both upper and lower lashes. On upper lashes, wiggle brush back and forth from root to top. On lower lashes, hold the wand vertically, wipe across the lashes, then turn it horizontally and blend down.
  
  
• For a perfect pout: Apply Automatic Longlasting Lipliner around the outside of the lip line before applying any other pencil or lip color.
  
  
• For Professional looking makeup application: Use pro makeup brushes. Why? There’s a big difference between professional brushes and the ones that come with your makeup!
  • Professional makeup brushes contain more hairs – denser – and they are shaped differently.
  • They enable you to apply perfectly placed color very quickly.
  • They require less product and so you save money
