Pro Skin Care Tips
Chose products for your skin type for daily basic care and then add products to treat your skin condition. Example: If you have dry skin with acne. Use products for dry skin and a serum and treatment products for acne. Remember to love your skin, it’s not your enemy and you will never win the battle. Learn to nourish your skin, then it will begin to work with you and not against you. Below you will find a step by step ritual for THE FOUNTAIN products based on your needs. I’ve also added some of my favorite DermAware, professional grade products to target specific conditions as well as recommendations on makeup, sunscreen, home remedies and professional treatments.

Sunscreen
This is possibly the most important step to protect your skin from aging and sun damage.I will link my favorites below. You must reapply through the day. I do not recommend sunscreen/ moisturizers. It should be a separate step and the last step of your skincare ritual.

Makeup
There are some things that will never be perfect or flawless about our skin and thats ok!! If you want to cover that up, use healthy makeup. This line contains a physical SPF that is a great addition to your chemical SPF and can be reapplied easily thought the day.

Home REMEDIES
Yogurt & Honey Mask - 2tbs plain greek yogurt or kefir with 1tsp local or high quality honey. Apply to face and neck. Leave on 10 minutes, rinse clean. Use once a week.
The dairy contains lactic acid to break down dead skin cells and soft your face. Probiotics will balance the bacteria on your skin to prevent and treat breakouts. Honey has hydrating and antibacterial properties to combat breakouts, and sooth all skin types.
Baking Soda for Blackheads- baking soda is highly alkaline and will liquify oil stuck in your pores. DO NOT use this on your entire face. It is terrible for your skin but if you suffer from lots of blackheads on your nose, this will help. Mix a 1/2 tsp of baking soda with a bit of water to make a paste. Scrub your nose for 1 min and let rest for 1 min. Rinse, Wash your face and hydrate well. Repeat every 2 weeks.
Easy Night Oil- Oil is great for every skin type and condition, yes even acne. Here is a easy, cheap recipe for everyone. 4oz organic sweet almond oil, 15 drops carrot essential oil, 15 drops lavender essential oil. Massage into skin at night as a light treatment, use as an oil cleanser, use as a makeup remover.
Professional Treatments
Professional Treatments are recommended every 4-8 weeks. If that is not in your budget, 3 times a year will help a ton. First Facial? Start with a basic customized facial. If you have some acne or dull aging skin and really want to see results? Start with the Blueberry Facial to get a more advanced peel. Then you can start to work your way up to microderm and chemical peels. You have to start slow. Its like a workout for your skin so don’t start with a marathon, HydroJelly masks are fantastic and worth with upgrade FYI. If you want “the works” try my Signature, Deluxe Facial.
This 60 minute facial is fully customized to your skin needs using hand selected products. Deep cleansing with steam, ultrasonic wand, facial massage, gentle enzyme peel, extractions, treatment mask and head, neck, shoulder, arm massage.
