When we think about skincare, for most of us the first thing that comes to mind is the face, and by extension, the neck and décolleté (the upper chest area).

In the world of beauty, one of the most important categories frequently goes overlooked and that’s brushes. Using the correct brush for the look you’re trying to achieve can drastically change your outcome. Think of brushes as your tools- you wouldn’t use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail, would you? The same can be said for using a densely packed, full coverage brush to apply concealer- it won’t quite turn out the way you want.

No matter how many times you’ve revised your skincare routine, there is always room for improvement. The skin concerns that plagued you as a young adult, have likely given way to new concerns as you’ve aged. This means that your routine should always be evolving and adapting to fit your current needs. Just because one product worked for you in the past, doesn’t mean it will continue working for you forever.

As our skin cells regenerate in their normal life cycle, old/dead cells naturally slough away, giving way to new cells. This natural process slows down as we age, causing dead cells to build up on skin’s surface, resulting in dry and dull looking skin.

There’s nothing like the relief of sorting through your makeup drawer and singling out your favorite products.

Just as the seasons change each September, so can the skin’s oil production. During the warmer months you may notice an increase in oil production, then as the temperatures drop, you may find yourself reaching for a heavy night cream to cure any dryness.

Exfoliation is often considered an 'added' step beyond the basics when it comes to home care. It can often be overlooked or forgotten, since it requires a time commitment and knowledge of how and why you should exfoliate.

Having the right skincare routine is just as important as knowing how to use it. Don't fall victim to these common skincare mistakes.

While makeup is an art form, skincare is a science. Sometimes skin concerns are too persistent to tackle by yourself, and seeking professional skincare treatments from an esthetician can set you on the right path. Skin experts can more readily identify the root causes for skin concerns, recommend professional-strength treatments and create an effective at-home regimen to keep you looking fresh from the spa.

Acne is the most common skin condition in the U.S., and prevention is often just as important as the treatment of acne. Keep an eye out for these key ingredients in your acne skincare.

Making the choice to wear sunscreen every day should be a no-brainer, but selecting the right SPF product can be challenging if you don’t understand sunscreen labeling standards. Learning a few key things will make you a better shopper when it comes to protecting your skin.

A common question asked by skincare professionals and their clients is, 'Do I really need a specialized product for the eye area?' Some believe that your face serum or moisturizer is more than appropriate for use around the eye area, as long as the skin (and oil production) around your eyes is the same or consistent as that of your face.

The information found on product labels and cosmetic packaging can be a lot to decode, but ultimately symbols and wording are designed to keep consumers better informed. Staying up to date on domestic labeling requirements and iconography is the best way to get to know the products you use on a daily basis.
