Why washing your face in the morning is a must!

You wouldn't skip brushing your teeth in the morning, right? So why would you skip washing your face?

Even while you sleep, dust, dirt and bacteria accumulate on your skin, so it's imperative that you wash your face in the morning—not just at the end of the day. Cleansing also serves as a mild exfoliation, which is essential in preventing pores from getting clogged and skin from looking dull. Furthermore, cleansing prepares the skin for further facial treatments, allowing them to better penetrate the skin and deliver the results you're looking for.

reFresh Face Cleanser

Benefits:

• Gently cleanse without drying for normal to sensitive skin.
• Remove makeup with zero irritation.
• Soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial.

The Secret:

Centipeda cunnighamii, or Aloe Vera, contains over two hundred active compounds. Together they stimulate growth in skin cell fibroblasts, provide soothing anti-irritant benefits, and deliver potent anti-bacterial properties.

Fact or Fiction? Stress causes wrinkles.

It's True: According to dermatologist Amy Wechsler, cortisol (the hormone caused by stress) degrades collagen. A wrinkle is a weakening and lessening of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin's dermis. When you live in a chronic state of stress, routinely bathing your body in cortisol, it becomes harder and harder for the skin to repair itself naturally.
