If you think the task of removing eye makeup is a simple no-brainer, my experience with hundreds of adult acne clients over the years shows a different picture.  Why?  It’s just removal of makeup, what’s the big deal? Removal of a stubborn coating of mascara involves quite a bit of rubbing.   Thing is, depending on the material used with makeup remover, it can also involve microscopic scratching.  This results in two really important problems. According to the “ Inflammation Theory of Aging ”,  any inflammation that happens in the skin creates a kind of sensitivity that makes the aging process edge just a little closer.   Even before that, this sensitivity, especially with the eye area being as thin as it is, can be unpleasant.  After a nasty bout with allergies I can end up with an eye rubbing session that makes my lower eye area feel like it's on fire.  To repair, this is the eye cream I use.  For info on eye creams and Adult Acne ,...

Crazy busy? Multi-tasking Your Skincare Could Be The Answer! Last week I sort of brushed against the multi-tasking trend with the idea of multi-masking different areas where your skin is having different parties on multiple parts of your face.   Multi-tasking with your skincare is quite different in that where we’re trying to use fewer products at a time to address different issues rather than using more.    Having said that, properly clearing and soothing adult acne and sensitivity is somewhat difficult with just a “three-step” Cleanser-Toner-Moisturizer program.    Serums may be optional, but there really is no way around an acne remedy , an exfoliator and a mask if you really want to get clear.   However, it is also true that each of these three can be found in a single product, which is the subject of this post.   But, goes without saying, this very much depends on the particular acne issues you have. Thing is, m y hope is always to get you...
