DO Make sure to hydrate, but know that slathering on the moisturizer isn’t going to cure dull, dry skin unless you exfoliate first,
DON’T rub too hard, you’ll irritate your skin. Exfoliate twice a week all summer long to keep your skin glowing.

Our Hydrating Body Buffer is a great way to gently exfoliate your skin. The natural seaweed extracts will buffer and hydrate your skin without being harsh. It will remove dead skin cells, which is helpful when peeling occurs. You may be tempted to whip out a product with exfoliating beads when you have peeling skin, but you may do more harm than good. Taking a more gentle approach will avoid irritation, scarring, and infection.

Hydrate Your Skin

DO use a facial moisturizer morning and night and a body lotion daily to keep your skin hydrated. Apply lotion right after you shower to help seal the moisture into your skin.
DON’T forget about your lips! Use a lip balm or moisturizing lipstick to keep your lips soft and moisturized.

Our Hydrating Body Silk leaves skin feeling smooth, silky and hydrated. This lightweight lotion is absorbed easily into the skin. It is best if used daily.

It is always best to avoid products that contain harsh chemicals as these can irritate your skin further. When looking for products avoid ones that contain petrochemicals, sodium lauryl or laureth sulfates, dyes and fragrances.

Key ingredients include: spiraea extract, pansy extract, essential oils of lavender and eucalyptus. Spiraea extract is also known as Meadowsweet, it is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic.

1. Pick the Right Cleanser. Cleansers, just like moisturizers, are not one-size-fits-all products. After cleansing, your face should not feel tight, dry or oily. If you have oily skin, a gel cleanser is your best bet. CURES Sea Mist Toner equalizes the skin and removes excess surface oils. If you have dry skin, try a creamy non-sudsy cleanser that won’t dry out your skin even more, CURES Gentle Cleansing Milk is great for dry skin. The CURES Foaming Cleansing Gel is an awesome cleanser for all skin types, it dissolves dirt, residue and makeup for perfectly clean skin.

2. Exfoliate Weekly. Exfoliating is an important step for all skin types. It can improve acne, diminish early aging signs and brighten your overall appearance. I recommend exfoliating two to three times a week for best results. CURES Algae Deep Pore Cleanser is one of my favorite products. This exfoliator gets rid of all my blackheads, clogged pores and oils leaving my skin clean and radiant.

3. Never Skip the Moisturizer. Moisturizing after cleansing is not optional. All skin types, including acne-prone oily skin, need moisturizing. Picking the right moisturizer is the key to maintaining healthy skin. CURES by Avance carries some great moisturizers for all different types of skin. Check out my post about which moisturizer is right for your skin… CURES’ Face Crèmes!

4. Consider Target Products. Though you really only need to cleanse, moisturize and protect from the sun each day, consider using a target product such as an eye cream or serum if you have trouble spots. The right eye cream can de-puff eyes or diminish fine lines, and when using CURES Revital Eyes that will happen. Apply with a light hand as to never tug the skin around your eyes. This product will give your skin a boost of antioxidants to brighten and protect.

My favorite bath time product is the Stress Relief Sea Bath. It provides me with the relaxation that my mind and body crave. I start the water and add a tablespoon-sized dollop. I like to measure it out in my hand so I don’t end up wasting product. Then, climb in and enjoy. The delicate smell of basil and lavender will delight you in ways you could never imagine. Your muscles will loosen up and release tension. It really is amazing how much stress you will release.

So whether you’re training for a marathon, or just experiencing a stressful time in your life, the Stress Relief Sea Bath is sure to help you relax.

I know that my skin was a wreck during my teenage years. I had horrible acne that seemed to never go away. After trying everything on the market, I had to go on harsh medication with intense side effects to finally get rid of it. Before getting a prescription, try out some of our natural products.

To improve acne-covered skin, have your teen cleanse with our Foaming Cleansing Gel. This is going to get a deep clean feeling. Apply Sea Mist Toner to a cotton ball and gently rub all over the face and neck. Rub 3-7 drops of Blemish Serum into the skin, and then mist it with a bit of Activator. Gently work the Activator in. Finish the regimen by applying the Anti-Acne Moisturizer.

Once a week, I suggest replacing the Foaming Cleansing Gel with the Algaé Deep Pore Cleanser. This exfoliates without using beads that could scratch the skin.

Twice a week, have them treat their face to the Anti-Acne Mask. Have them apply it all over the neck and face, but not their eyelids. This stays on for ten minutes. This mask will help remove all of the excess oils that are clogging pores.

Once my teenage skin cleared up, I still remember having acne scars. For me, these were just as bad as having blemishes. Our Cérum Vitamin C Therapy will help the skin repair its cells and reduce acne scars. This is an anti-aging product, but can benefit young skin as well.

Makeup application is another trouble that your teen might have. I remember overdoing it because I didn’t know how much was appropriate. If you notice your teen heading off to school wearing a pound of black eye shadow, it might be time for a makeup lesson. DePasquale The Spa in Morris Plains, New Jersey offers an Introduction to Make Up Lesson that is specifically geared towards teenagers. This teaches techniques, colors, and trends. They will learn how to enhance their natural beauty, rather than just making attempts at copying what they see in the media. Let them know that they can learn how to do makeup in a way that will still allow them to express their specific style. The last thing that you want them to think is that you want to change something about them.

Looks aren’t everything, but your teen doesn’t know that yet! Hopefully after following these tips your teen will gain confidence and let their beauty shine.
