Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

• Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
• Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
• Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
• Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
• Your goals: what you most want to change
• Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
• Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
• Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
