New clients always ask why their skin is flakey, dry or tight. Even oily skins have this problem. Aside from diet, eating well and staying hydrated, it's usually a PH problem. PH is so important and probably the most overlooked step in a skincare regimen. A normal PH of the skin is 5.5 which is slightly acidic. It takes approximately 8-10 hours for the skin to PH balance itself. In this time free radicals which are aggressive scavengers have lots of time to damage cell membranes. They cause collagen and elastin cells to harden. These free radicals come from the sun, pollution and poor diet and wreak havoc on the face leaving it vulnerable and exposed to cell damage from toxins in the environment. The delicate skin on the face is susceptible to quick aging and wrinkles not to mention skin sensitivities, age spots and cancers.

MyChelle to the rescue! I always tell my clients to go back to basics. Cleanse tone and moisturize. A good cleanser helps rid the face of dirt and everyday grime that is left on the skin. Honeydew Cleanser is for more dry and mature skins but can be used on all skin types. Fruit Enzyme Cleanser is a foaming cleanser geared for normal skins but also works for all skin types. Cranberry Cleanser is loaded with natural fruit acids that keep the skin clear from breakouts and even the most sensitive skins can use it. Cleansing the skin is done twice a day, morning and night. I can't tell you how many people don't wash their face at night or in the morning. Makeup and residue that is left on the skin from the day needs to be cleansed. This one is a no-brainer. It lets the skin breathe at night during cell respiration. If the skin is not cleansed, the cells take on a tough job of trying to balance the skin and waste so much energy in doing that they have no energy left for cells to replenish themselves. One needs to understand morning cleansing is also very important. There are millions of mites that contact the skin in addition to elimination of toxins in the skin that remain there until you cleanse.

The next step is to tone with a toner that does what it says it does - PH balances the skin. This incredible toner provides a cascade of anti-oxidants and hydrators for balanced and hydrated skin. MyChelle’s Fruit Enzyme Mist is one powerful toner that is used on all skins. The toner, as previously mentioned will help protect your skin and snuff out free radicals that contribute to the damage of the DNA and RNA in the cells. It’s also great for airplane travel.

All that's left is to nourish the skin. Nourishing creams are the last step in a 1-2-3 basic skincare regimen. Deep Repair Cream is exceptional for skin that has been damaged and needs support to help heal the skin. This is done with EGF from yeast. This is good for anyone who needs cellular renewal ingredients (anyone over 30yrs.) Pumpkin Renew Cream is the ultimate in equalizing the oil production for oily skin. It assists the skin naturally so that oily skin is never stripped and never has a chance to over produce oil. Supreme Polypeptide Cream is the big gun when it comes to combating wrinkles in the skin. It contains 5% Matrixyl 3000. It is the most effective wrinkle reduction nutrient on the market today.

Once these simple steps are followed the skin will look radiant and glowing. PH balancing will prevent the skin from becoming damaged and will actually help the cells recover and jump start the skin's natural CRF(cellular renewal factor).
