Question: Nanci, you say to stop using acids on a daily basis because they can age you – yet you yourself use Super CopX2 every day and it has beta hydroxy acids in it!

I've had several requests to put my skin care routine in the newsletter. It does change from time to time as I seem to always be testing something! And it also changes by season - I use different products in the winter than the summer. In the winter I use the Bio-Active products.
Morning:
Rhassoul Cleansing Bar
Skin Signals Copper Peptide
20% Matrixyl 3000 Serum
Rose Hydrosol
Rejuvenating Face Oil
All Natural Sunscreen SPF30 Anti-Aging Formula
Easy Eye Solutions Instant Eye Tuck
Pure Silk Loose Minerals SPF20
Night:
Rhassoul Cleansing Bar
Microfiber Cloth or Pretika Sonic Dermabrasion Brush (if I don't use one of these every day, it's every other day)
Skin Signals Copper Peptide
Spot treat wrinkle prone areas with Super Copx2
20% Matrixyl 3000 Serum
All-Trans Retinol 2.0%
Rose Hydrosol
Rosehip Face Oil
Rose Organic Moisturizer
Easy Eye Solutions Illuminating Eye Care
CP Accelerator
Once a week, I do a DermaWave treatment. Once a month, I do a 30% Pro Pumpkin Peel treatment (twice a month in the winter).

One of the great things about the NCN Acne Products is that they're effective and safe for people of all ages. With the exception of Copper Peptide, anyone under the age of 28 can use all of the products. The products specifically for acne are:
Charcoal Acne Detox Cleansing Bar
Microfiber Cleansing Cloth
15% Daily Exfoliator
Super CP Serum
Organic Lavendar Hydrosol
Pure Skin Face Oil
Lemon Mousse Light Organic Moisturizer
Organic Oil-Free Moisturizer
All Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 for Oily/Impure Skin
I'm Covered Oil-Free or Moisturizing
Loose Minerals SPF20
Acne Therapy Masque
Black Current Seed Oil is an effective supplement to take for healing and preventing acne. I don't carry it, but it's easily found (The Vitamin Shoppe for example).
LED photo rejuvenation is also very effective. The DermaWave offers a blue matrix head which is specifically for acne prone skin.
Some may think that a face oil is not good for easily clogged, oily, acne prone skin - but it really is! The Pure Skin Face Oil not only prevents and heals acne, it normalizes sebum control and nourishes your skin. If you have dry skin with acne, the oil will prevent and heal your acne without drying your skin out like so many acne products do.

Cara came to the house a couple of weeks ago and was standing in the doorway, the sun shining in on her face with no makeup on - and wow! Her skin is like peaches and cream..... now, I see her here at work every day, but this time it was in a different light. Cara is not one to fuss over her skin - she has a simple routine and is only using topicals and no rejuvenating tools. She did use the Dermawave for the first couple of months that she was here (I made her LOL) but in spite of her treatments being under 5 minutes, she's just not into "gadgets". Her skin looks so great that I wanted to post her routine. This is what Cara is using:
Morning:
Rhassoul Cleansing Bar
Cell Renewal Toner
CP Accelerator
Botox Alternative SPF30
Night:
Rhassoul Cleansing Bar
Microfiber Cleansing Cloth (every other night)
Cell Renewal Toner
Super GHK Copper Cream
Bio-Active Night Repair Cream
That's it folks! She gives herself a 30% Pro Pumpkin Peel treatment when she feels like it - about once every two months.
Cara is very happy with her skin and I can see why. I would love to put her before/after pictures on the website but she won't let me. Too bad because there is quite a difference in her skin since she started here 6 months ago. 6 months ago, her skin was dry, had red patches, hyperpigmentation and was much less firm than it is now and with more wrinkles. She wasn't happy with her neck either - crepey, chicken skin (her words) with wrinkles. That's all gone now! Dana is so impressed, she's jumped on the band wagon.

I LOVE giving free sample(s) with every order! But I don't always know what to send you if I don't have your skin type on file. And there may be something in particular that you would like to try that I'm not aware of. I'm working on having a section on the website where you can pick your freebie(s), but in the meantime, you can always write me a note of what you would like in the comments section on the order page. It would also be great if you mentioned your skin type - oily, normal, dry, sensitive and if you ever experience any acne breakouts at all. I give free samples of everything except Dr. Pickart's Copper Peptide products and the AcroWhite. Samples of those products won't be enough for you to see results.
The "pick your freebie" section will go something like this:

Our skin naturally sheds every 28 days. With age, this process slows which causes dull, tired looking skin. The daily use of exfoliants along with a weekly or monthly peel dissolves dead, flakey skin cells, promotes collagen production, and builds elasticity. If your skin is continually exfoliated, it's forced to create new cells - at a rate it did before the 28 day cycle started to slow. Our products offer just the right amount of exfoliation. Over exfoliating causes damage and will reverse what you are trying to accomplish. If you want deeper exfoliation than we offer, PLEASE go to a dermatologist. There's no need to overdo it, be kind to your skin! If you follow our skin care regime, your skin will be perfectly exfoliated AND nourished - your skin will GLOW!!!
