RA Proyouth Steps Healthy Skin

Cleansing

This is the first step of your regimen. 

We recommend applying 1 pump of cleanser onto clean, damp hands and gently massaging into the skin.  Add more water to create lather and work into skin for 1-2 minutes.  Remove with gentle (soft) white cloth for several rinses if needed.  Pat or air-dry skin before applying next step. 

Cleansing is the most important step in any regimen.  Mixing a non-active cleanser into an active cleanser helps reduce dryness and avoid over-exfoliation.  Use a soft cloth or 4x4 gauze to remove. 

Tonic

This is the next step of your regimen after cleansing.  We typically recommend tonics being applied in the AM due to their antioxidant properties and increased protection.  Depending on the tonic, application may range from one to three times per week, to a daily application.

We recommend applying 1-2 pumps of tonic onto a clean cotton round or 2x2 gauze pad.  Apply to clean, dry skin.  Let product absorb.

Tonics deliver powerful antioxidants and nutrients to skin.  For toners containing more actives, spot treating or limiting application to 2-3 times per week is advised.

Building & Strengthening (AM)

The products in this category are typically applied in the AM as many formulations contain potent antioxidants and stem cells to increase protection throughout the day.  These products may be changed seasonally as well.  They are applied after the cleanser and tonic steps. 

We recommend applying 1-2 pumps onto fingertips and gently massage into clean, dry skin.  Let serum absorb.  May layer moisturizer overtop.    

Correctives (PM)

These are considered rejuvenating formulations as the products in this category contain vitamin A’s (retinol and retinal) and a variety of acids.  They are recommended for use at night, applied after cleansing.     

We recommend applying 1 pump onto clean, dry skin.  Let product absorb.  May layer moisturizer overtop.  SPF use during the day is recommended when using Correctives.

These rejuvenating formulas increase cellular turnover and refine skin texture.  This category contains formulas that replenish collagen and elastin, stimulate cellular energy, and many are considered lifestyle-friendly!

Hydrators & Moisturizers

This category focuses on balancing or increasing hydration in the skin.  Our formulas hydrate skin from the inside, out and provide additional support to skin.  We offer a range or hydrators depending on texture and weight of hydration needed.  Lipid-based serums may be used as hydrators and replenishing these lipids are essential for slowing down the aging process. 

These may be applied AM and/or PM and may be changed seasonally or depending on what the skin is experiencing. 

We recommend applying 1-2 pumps onto fingertips and gently massaging into clean, dry skin or over your favorite RA Building & Strengthening or Corrective serum. 

Excellent Additions to Regimen

Scrubs

These formulations help increase cellular turnover and include a variety of exfoliants – ranging from jojoba esters, Mother of Pearl extract and acids.  Scrubs are perfect to use one time per week and are to be used after cleansing in either the AM or PM regimen. 

We recommend applying a small amount into damp hands; apply to face and neck.  Gently massage into skin or allow to sit on skin for several minutes (like a mask).  Rinse thoroughly with warm water.  Pat skin dry.

Enzymes

The products in this category are a great way to increase exfoliation, soften skin texture, reduce cellular buildup, and provide overall rejuvenation.  Enzymes are to be used once per week.

We recommend applying a thin layer onto clean, dry skin – avoiding the eye area.  Leave on up to 10 minutes.  Rinse well with cool water and soft cloth.  Pat skin dry and follow up with your favorite RA mask, serums and moisturizer. 

Masks

Masks are a great way to increase hydration, antioxidants, circulation, firmness and more!  Masks are typically used once per week but depending on the mask and skin concern, twice per week may be more effective. 

We recommend applying a thin layer onto clean, dry skin – avoiding the eye area.  Leave on 10-15 minutes.  Rinse well with cool water and soft cloth.  Pat skin dry and follow up with your favorite RA serums and moisturizer.
