The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Skin Care!




          Let’s be honest, after a long day the last thing you probably want to do is wash your face. That being said, it is crucial to adopt at least some type of regimen to maintain overall skin health. I personally am a product junkie, but I know it is not always realistic to expect the same of my patients- and that’s where my bare minimum recommendations come into play.
                 
Often times, patients can accomplish many of the necessary steps while lying in bed and winding down from all the day’s activities (and simultaneously enjoying the daily dose of Bravo TV). Even if you aren't the typical "lazy skin care patient", I’ve listed a few of my favorites to help keep you on track, beat breakouts, and have on hand just in case.




Jane Iredale: "Dot The I" Eye Makeup Remover Swabs
These cotton-tipped applicators are already loaded with makeup removing solution- convenience at its finest. Individual wrapping also makes great for traveling.







Jane Iredale: Beauty Prep Cleanser
This super-refreshing cleanser smells of delightful cucumber, and requires no water for use or removal. Ideal for the bedside cleanse, or to prep your skin for fresh makeup after a lunch-time workout. Available January 20, 2016, so be on the look out!

SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum:
This all-in-one super active serum restores youthful volume by use of antioxidants, peptides, and epidermal growth factor. Daily use will cause significant improvement, with noticeable changes at the 90-day mark. This product is perfect for the patient who wants minimal effort and maximum result.
 


Clarisonic: Opal
This handy gadget provides a gentle massage and maximum penetration of serums in the delicate eye area. I find it particularly relaxing to use my opal during my favorite nighttime TV shows. It is also super helpful to use on mornings you may have sacrificed some sleep as it immediately improves puffy eyes and bags.




Satin or Silk Pillowcases:
Research has shown that making a simple switch to the luxury threads (if only for your face) can dramatically lower the risk of creating fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.
