Making a good impression with your skin

MANILA, Philippines - You dress to impress. So why not make your skin just as impressive? One of the first things people notice about you is the condition of your skin. Fairly or not, they tend to form first impressions about you just by looking at it.

When your skin looks dull, people assume you lack the discipline to take good care of yourself, and therefore conclude that you have low self-worth. However, if your skin looks glowing, people readily applaud you for your healthy disposition, and thereby know that you regard yourself in high esteem.

Nowadays, lifestyle choices are crucial. With a balanced diet, reduced stress, lots of sleep and plenty of exercise, you only need a proper skincare program to be well rounded. Truly, a radiant complexion is one of this healthy outlook’s most evident benefits. But you will need an effective skincare range that’s affordable, fuss-free and not loaded with fancy ingredients.

Proactiv Solution is the perfect skincare tool that will create positive results in a matter of weeks. In only three easy steps, your skin will dramatically improve: renew, revitalize and repair. This safe, dermatologist-developed acne system helps clear existing and stubborn acne and prevents them from coming back.

The Renewing Cleanser is a unique, oil-free formulated acne cleanser that contains smooth, tiny beads to exfoliate dead skin cells and other impurities. Sloughing off dead skin cells on a daily basis will result in fresh, new glowing skin.

Credit goes to the deep cleaning, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide (a grade not available in store-bought brands) that penetrates pores, attacks and heals blemishes fast.

The second step is the refreshing, alcohol-free Revitalizing Toner. It removes plugs to eliminate clogged pores and helps remove excess oil for a refreshed, clearer skin, while soothing botanicals gently balance your skin tone.

The final step is the Repairing Lotion, a light, oil-free skin-clearing lotion, and also contains prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide lotion that heals blemishes and helps prevent the appearance of new ones.

There are a slew of pollutants around and many stressful activities that hound us that can affect our lifestyle. Don’t let them distract you from making a good skin impression. Go for a more pro-active stance to protect your skin.
