Trick For Younger Skin
Do it the right way and you will improve as well as speed up your anti-aging
process. The treatments will penetrate deeper, work better and faster.
I don't know why I had not discussed this subject previously, since it is
so very important for long range youthful-looking skin. Perhaps it's because
I've been using this cleansing method for so long (all my adult life) that
I've just taken it for granted. Recently I was inspired to write about it by
a customer's question to me about the best way to cleanse the face. I thank
that person for the question. In essence this is my response to her.

When you awake in the morning, skin treatment products you used the night
before are still on the surface of your skin and in your pores. They should
be completely removed before applying anything else to the skin.
With a thin wash cloth (for texture), use a Toner-Astringent (see OLEDA High
Potency Toner-Astringent) to remove all traces of everything left on the skin,
which would include your night treatment film! Doing this will also clean out
and purify your pores, preparing them for the ingredients of a rich day cream
to be applied next. Cleansed properly, your skin will allow nutrients to be
more deeply absorbed undiluted by any residual product or bacteria.
The texture of the thin wash cloth also stimulates the skin's surface, as
well as the cells under the surface, which is excellent for the long term treatment
for youthful skin. You can buy a bag of thin white washcloths at a discount
store...best thing is you can throw them in a washing machine, and reuse.
Only after this cleansing process is thoroughly completed will you be ready
to apply your cream for the day. I use rich OLEDA Nutritive Day Cream (of course)
and then my makeup.

Cleansing at the end of the day, in preparation for a good night's sleep,
is a little different because you must first remove all traces of makeup. I
use my easy-to-use Liquefying Makeup Remover with as many tissues as I need.
When I see that the makeup is removed, I get out my trusted thin, white washcloth
and toner-astringent, and go for it using the same routine as in the morning.
When I see that the washcloth is clean -- only then do I know for sure that
I have removed all traces of makeup, oils and bacteria -- then I apply my night
anti-aging treatment. (I use Formula I and Formula II) . If I leave any residue
on my skin, this treatment would not penetrate as deeply or work as well. If
I'm not using Formula I or Formula ll, I apply Wrinkle-Smooth Night Cream before
retiring.
