Skin Care Products 101, Step 2

Step 2: As my good buddy Dana says, serums are your “work horses”. In the AM, nothing beats a Vitamin C based serum. In addition to its anti-aging benefits, Vitamin C protects your skin from the sun's penetrating UVA and UVB rays. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, so it naturally helps to strengthen your skin and repel those damaging rays of the sun.

DHS recommendations: For all skin types, Herbal Skin Solutions Vitamin C Serum or for an extra boost of sun protection, Vital Therapy Liquid WOW Vitamin C.

In the PM, the work horse of choice is Vitamin A. The best time to apply this powerful anti-ager is while you sleep. Vitamin A stimulates collagen production and our bodies do their best healing and repairing while they are at rest. If you have never used Vitamin A, slowly introduce this to your PM routine. Start with 1 or 2 nights a week. You most likely will experience some dry, flaky skin as the Vitamin A works to exfoliate the built up, dead skin cells.

DHS recommendations: For acne prone or normal skin, Face Reality Vitamin A Corrective Serum or for all skin types, Vital Therapy Plastic Surgery in a Bottle.
