Finding a suitable skin care regimen is like solving a math problem. You need to know what the problem is before deciding on the appropriate tools. Instead of going into the pharmacy and buying everything in the section that looks nice, it’s perhaps better to get an overall sense of what your needs are based on where you are skin-wise, and where you’d like to be. One way to do this is to seek the guidance of a dermatologist who can help you plan a worthy regimen for you to follow. However here are 7 basic concepts to keep in mind in dealing with your skin care issues.

1. Try to use natural or organic products whenever possible.

2. Look for DSR (Dermal Surface Renewal technology), which assists in soothing out the age lines, crows feet, and general dullness.

3. Try finding products that have regisomes. These have qualities, among other things, to help rejuvenate your skin while sleeping.

4. Seek out products that contain Proteo-C as well as Proflavonol-T which offer protection from aging as a result of exposure to elements such as sun, pollution, and the overall environment.

5. When possible, use products that are free from pareben. Researchers are starting to find that parebens are found in benign as well as malignant human breast tumors. Parebens are found in many products used in daily living from soaps and shampoos. And though there is always debate in the medical community, it’s better to avoid certain ingredients.

6. Drink plenty of that good fashioned H-2-0 or water. This will hydrate your skin and hair and get rid of toxins out of your body. Drink plenty of water! Water hydrates skin and hair as well as flushes toxins out of the body.

7. Reduce stress! Do yoga, go jogging, take a time management course or whatever to help manage stress levels more efficiently. This will serve all areas of your life, not least of which your skin.

Following these general guidelines can save you time and money, as well as provide you with a personalized regimen that you can "set and forget", and get on with the rest of your life.
