The Forgotten Generations Skin Care

      A lot of young adult in their twenties and thirties are tasked with finding a skin care regimen that can both reduce the signs of early aging and help with that occasional adult acne that we all so naively believed would go away after high school. It seems that most drugstore and department store brands have forgotten about this in-between generation. So, you’re stuck stocking your bathroom cabinets with a ton of different products and a skin care regimen so elaborate that you rarely have time for it. Well, we have a solution to this dilemma that is simple, easy, and only available in a reputable physician’s office.
                Obagi 360 is an effective and easy-to-use system created specifically for the needs of the younger generation. It includes just three essential products- a cleanser, a retinol, and a moisturizing sunscreen.


Here is a breakdown of how each of these products works to help you achieve and maintain a flawless complexion:

Cleanser: The Obagi 360 Exfoliating Cleanser is used twice a day (AM & PM) to unclog pores, gently exfoliate dead skin cells, and meticulously clean your skin. This leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and perfectly primed for the next step in your regimen.
Retinol: Obagi 360 Retinol 0.5% is applied at night after you use your 360 cleanser. This form of retinol is released gradually to refine your skins tone and texture, so you achieve a clearer-looking complexion with minimal irritation. It is also efficient for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
Moisturizing Sunscreen: Obagi 360 HydraFactor Broad Spectrum 30 is the second and final step of your morning routine, after you have used you have sufficiently cleansed your skin with your 360 cleanser. The 360 HydraFactor does the job of two products. It is a soothing moisturizer that also effectively protects you from damaging UV rays.
The most important thing to know about any skincare regimen is what kind of overall results you should expect when it’s all said and done. Here is a concise recap of you should expect to achieve and maintain with this regimen:
        ·  A brighter, more even skin tone and texture
        ·  Refined appearance of fine lines
        ·  Minimized appearance of pores
        ·  Moisturized skin
        ·  Relief from occasional break outs
        ·  Maintained resiliency


Extra Tips to Maximize your Results:

·         Be consistent- It’s important to keep to all the steps of your skincare regimen daily so that your skin gets everything it needs to stay beautiful.
·         Use a clean towel- Try keeping a clean hand towel, or a convenient roll of paper towels, on your bathroom counter to dry your face after cleansing- as opposed to the towel your routinely use to wipe your hands. This will keep you from wiping dirt and oils right on to your freshly cleansed skin.
·         Tailor your regimen- Add a few quality products to your regimen if you need a little extra focus on some issues. If you still get a pesky zit from time to time try our Pro-Essentials Acne Stick to directly apply a potent dose of salicylic acid to the blemish. If you want an extra boost of brightness and anti-aging protection try adding a vitamin-C serum.
·         Kick start your new regimen- Obagi Radiance peel is a salicylic acid (the active ingredient in most acne treatments) based peel that instantly exfoliates your skin. This makes it the perfect way to kick start your 360 regimen, or add a little extra radiance to your complexion before a big event.
