Large pores           Keep skin clean.  Debris can clog pores and can cause blackheads

                           and acne.  Exfoliate with products containing Salicylic Acid and

                           AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid), such as Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid.  

                           Apply Dermystique Tinted Blemish Treatment Lotion during the day

                           and Dermystique Poly-Rejuvenation Lotion at night.  For more

                           aggressive treatment, use Dermystique Advanced Action Formula.

                           Dermystique Exfoliating Complex, containing a high percentage of

                           AHA, exfoliates damaged skin. 

                           Always fill pores with products before putting on a foundation.

Redness,            

Rosacea                Cleanse with Dermystique Gentle Cleansing Foam.  Avoid "triggers",

                           such as spicy food, alcohol, sun exposure, and hot water.  Apply

                           Dermystique Antioxidant Elixir, Vitamin C and E Compound, and

                           Dermystique Soothe and Calm Masque.  Rosacea may require a

                           consultation with a medica specialist.

Adult acne             A common occurrence amongst women between 25 and 50.  As a

                           first step, wash with a mild cleansing agent, such as Dermystique

                           Gentle Cleansing Foam, several times a day, especially after

                           exercising.  Target individual blemishes A.M. and P.M. with a product

                           containing a high dose of Salicylic Acid, such as Dermystique Advanced

                           Action Formula.  Follow up with Dermystique Soothe and Calm Masque,

                           which will help dry out the blemishes and draw the impurities to the

                           surface.  To cover, use Dermystique Tinted Blemish Treatment Lotion.

                           When in the sun, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, such as

                           Dermystique Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30.

Severe acne           Acne is a chronic condition and needs to be controlled even after the

                           lesions subside.  Although Dermystique skin care products, which

                           contain high doses of Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid (ingredients of

                           choice against acne), can help improve and prevent blemishes and

                           acne, severe cases of acne, including cystic acne, requires the attention

                           of medical specialists who might recommend the use of systemic

                           or topical medications.

"Baggy" eyes          Lack of sleep and dehydration contribute to this symptom.  Drink

                           water before retiring for the night, elevate your head, and apply a

                           warm wash cloth to the eyes.  A.M., apply cold packs.  Use an eye

                           cream containing Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, and peptides, e.g., 

                           Dermystique Eye Rejuvenation Creme with Retinol-Peptide Complex. 

Hyper-

pigmentation,

blotch spots,

age spots,

uneven skin

tone                      Apply Dermystique Skin Lightening Cream over entire face.  Spot

                            treatment may result in a halo effect.  Apply Dermystique

                            Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30 when outdoors.

Dry skin                 Tends to be flaky and have fine wrinkles.  Is is often itchy and rough.

                            In wind and heat, it chaps easily.  Avoid hot water when cleansing.

                            Use Dermystique Eye Rejuvenation Creme with Retinol-Peptide

                            Complex around the eye areas and Dermystique Cell Regeneration

                            Creme Intensive with Kollacin for nighttime application.

Oily skin                 Tends to be shiny a few hours after washing.  It may break out and

                             shows a tendency towards blackheads and whiteheads.  Pores are 

                             often coarse, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, cheeks, and 

                             chin).  Do not wash too often.  Excessive cleansing may actually

                             increase oil production.  Use only oil-free products.  Apply Dermystique

                             Soothe and Calm Masque, which will remove excessive amounts of oil.

Sensitive skin          65% of the population think they have sensitive skin, although

                            most often it is traceable to the overuse of products, irritating

                            ingredients, such as Witch Hazel, and sulfates, most notably 

                            Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate.  Truly sensitive skin is often irritated.

                            Reacts to harsh chemicals, preservatives, fragrances, Vitamin C, and

                            many botanicals.  May have Rosacea and burns easily.  Often

                            tolerates Lactic Acid but not Glycolic Acid (both AHA's).  Use

                            Dermystique Exfoliating Complex with 10% Lactic Acid (if tolerated),

                            Dermystique Gentle Cleansing Foam, and Dermystique Moisturizing

                            and Tightening Skin Formula. 

Combination skin    May display oily characteristics in T-zone, otherwise skin may be

                            normal.  Use products recommended for oily skin on the T-zone, and

                            moisturizers, such as Dermystique Moisturizing and Tightening

                            Skin Formula with 5% Algae Extract, on the normal part of the skin.

Dark circles

under eyes               Use products containing Vitamin A, such as Dermystique Cell

                             Regeneration Creme Intensive, which contains Retinyl Palmitate

                             (Vitamin A), or Eye Rejuvenation Creme with Retinol-Peptide Complex.

Blackheads              Wash twice or three times a day with Dermystique Gentle Cleansing

                             Foam and once a day with Dermystique Stimulating Scrub with Oat

                             Protein.  Follow up with a product containing Salicylic Acid, such as

                             Dermystique Advanced Action Formula.  Since Salicylic Acid can dry out 

                             skin, do not use excessively. 

Fine lines and

wrinkles                   Cleanse face daily with a mildly exfoliating cleanser, such as

                             Dermystique Stimulating Scrub with Oat Protein.  Invigorate your skin

                             with antioxidants, such as Dermystique Cell Stimulant Formula with

                             Retinol-Peptide-Vitamin C Complex (for normal skin), Dermystique

                             Antioxidant Elixir, Vitamin C and E Compound (for dry skin), or

                             Dermystique Lifting Poly-Serum with Alpha Lipoic Acid 2% and Lactic

                             Acid 5%.  Follow up with an anti-aging cream, such as Dermystique

                             Anti-Wrinkle Creme Supreme with Retinol-Peptide Complex, and

                             Dermystique Eye Rejuvenation Creme with Retinol-Peptide Complex

                             around the eye areas.  For a nighttime product, use Dermystique Cell

                             Regeneration Creme Intensive with Kollacin, containing Retinyl

                             Palmitate (Vitamin A).  Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen,

                             SPF 15 or higher, during the day, preferably one containing

                             micronized Zinc Oxide.  Dermystique Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30

                             protects against UVA, UVB, and UVC rays and moisturizes the skin as

                             it is exposed to the drying sun.

Dull complexion       Sun damage and free radicals, such as smoke and pollution,

                             contribute to a dull complexion.  Dead skin cells need to be removed

                             before the conditons can improve.  Apply antioxidant products, such

                             as Dermystique Cell Stimulant Formula with Retinol-Peptide-Vitamin C

                             Complex (for normal skin), Dermystique Antioxidant Elixir, Vitamin C

                             and E Compound (for dry skin), or Dermystique Lifting Poly-Serum

                             to help repair the damage.  Follow with a thorough regimen of

                             exfoliation.  This will remove dead cells and allow new ones to    

                             emerge, making for a youthful-looking, glowing skin.  Exfoliate the

                             skin with products containing AHA, such as Dermystique Exfoliating

                             Complex, containing 10% Lactic Acid.  This product is formulated for

                             all skin types and, in many cases, is even tolerated by sensitive skin.

                             To encourage regeneration of cells, especially in mature skin, apply

                             Dermystique Cell Regeneration Creme Intensive with Kollacin P.M.

                             Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher on a daily

                             basis.  Zinc Oxide is the ingredient of choice for protection against

                             UVA, UVB, and UVC rays.  Micronized Zinc Oxide with small molecules

                             penetrates the skin and does not leave a white film if rubbed in

                             vigorously.  Dermystique Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 30 is ideally

                             suited to protect the skin and, at the same time, keep it hydrated

                             during sun exposure.  Dead skin cells contribute to a dull look of the

                             skin.

Environmentally

damaged skin          May show extensive sun damage, which causes the skin to be 

                             unevenly pigmented, dull, and lifeless.  Normal skin often displays

                             these characteristics.  Exfoliate extensively, e.g., with Dermystique

                             Exfoliating Complex with 10% Lactic Acid.  Products with Retinol and/or

                             Lipoic Acid would also be beneficial.  Dermystique Eye Rejuvenation

                             Creme with Retinol-Peptide Complex, Dermystique Anti-Wrinkle

                             Creme Supreme with Retinol-Peptide Complex, and Dermystique 

                             Lifting Poly-Serum with Alpha Lipoic Acid 2% and Lactic Acid 5%,

                             likewise, are helpful.

Blemished and

acneic skin               Usually feels oily and greasy.  It may break out frequently,

                              sometimes continously, and may form small pustules that can result

                              in scarring and hyperpigmentation, which, in later years, can result

                              in granny spots or age spots.  Frequently, it shows blackheads and

                              enlarged pores.  Makeup, typically, does not stay on well.  Use mild

                              cleansers, such as Dermystique Gentle Cleansing Foam, A.M., P.M.,

                              and after strenuous physical exercises.   Follow a continuous skin care

                              regimen with anti-acne products, such as Dermystique Tinted Blemish

                              Treatment Lotion, Dermystique Poly-Rejuvenation Lotion, and/or

                              Dermystique Advanced Action Formula.  Twice or three times a week,

                              apply a drying facial mask, such as Dermystique Soothe and Calm

                              Masque.
