You won't be surprised to learn that stress is the leading contributor to any skin condition ... something dermatologists don't like to talk about because there's no $100 pill or cream for stress!! But you cannot have the skin you want without addressing this issue. That means when we talk about a regimen, we are looking at a wide range of regimens to deal with a wide range of issues. So here are my ideas.
Sundays ... Official face rest!
Rhassoul is a miracle of Mother Nature. Imagine a clay polish -- gentle enough for facial cleansing -- used and loved by women in 700 a.d.! Well this is it. Rhassoul remineralizes your skin. It contains lithium, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, copper and zinc. You know that magnesium promotes elasticity within the muscle and as well as vigorous blood circulation. And in the second layer of lather, the Prairie Oat Mint bar moisturizes and nourishes. You will see results after the first treatment. It's more than exfoliation. It's resurfacing, retexturizing your skin while it controls oiliness. And it's a totally individualized system. You can use the components with any frequency and in any combination you choose to adapt to any condition you encounter in your skin.
In the beginning, I strongly recommend that you Rhassoul no more than three times a week AND in the morning.
The morning part is because that is when all your filtering, cleansing and renewing systems are in high gear and you will get the greatest benefit from your System by putting it work at that time.
The three times a week part is because Rhassoul is one of Mother Nature's gifts that requires each person to find their individual level. The frequency of use will change from season to season as your complexion changes. Then as you familiarize yourself with the system and how it works with your skin type, you'll find your own rhythm based on your skin's condition, time of year, time of month etc.
And use the MicroCrytal Refining Cream weekly to start and then you decide how often from there. If you have high oil production you can go to three times a week and even daily ... it all depends on your skin. You'll watch closely to see how it accepts the manual microdermabrasion and then use your judgement. I'll be here for questions so don't hesitate to email me!!
Also, and very important ... do not intermix the MicroCrystal Refining Cream with other products, especially those with active ingredients such as AHA's or RetinA. You will have DayBreak days and Other Days. This is really quite important. Our products were developed to work together ... and they do. Adding other products may cause a skin reaction and will dilute the effect of your DayBreak regimen and the other product's results too.
Prep: Here's how to use Rhassoul and Prairie Oat Mint together.
1. Cut your Rhassoul bar into 6 cubes and store 5 in a brown paper bag. They will last a long time! Cut the Prairie Oat Mint or Almond Cream in half or in thirds. Use it as a sachet in your linen closet; it's a great fragrance.
Here is the regimen I suggest for your complexion.
MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY MORNING: To start, limit your Rhassoul and complexion bar applications to just three times a week. After Week 1, increase Rhassoul frequency as you feel your skin can handle.
1. Swab your dry face with DayBreak's Rose Petal Toner or any toner you like.
2. Now wet your face. Wet the piece of Rhassoul. Rub it directly all over your face in light, upward motions and keep doing that until you have created a thick, creamy lather. Use the Rhassoul directly on your skin. No washcloths. You want all Rhassoul's minerals to get in there and polish!! Allow the lather to rest for 15-30 seconds. Do not rinse.
3. While you're waiting, take your Prairie Oat Mint or Almond Cream, lather it up between your hands and apply that sudsy lather directly over the Rhassoul lather. Wash the entire face. Now rinse. Rinse thoroughly with a washcloth or with splashes of water. Take three times as much time for rinsing as compared to what you took for lathering. Blot damp ... not dry ... with a soft towel; vigorous rubbing with coarse material aggravates and tugs at your skin. Pat.
4. Skipping the oily areas, put three dots of Face Feed on cheeks and other dry areas. Tap into your skin.
5. Now use the Pore Seal & Protect. Pump out one pea-sized dot into your palm. Take the dot and dot it on forehead, each cheek, chin and neck. Make it stretch so you don't have heavy coverage. Blend to cover your face and neck.
TUESDAY & THURSDAY MORNING: If you have oily skin, wash with Oil Patrol & Control. If you have other products you like, use them on these days. Don't mix regimens or products. Let Monday, Wednesday and Friday be DayBreak days and Tuesday and Thursday, for your other products.
EVERY EVENING:
1. Wash with Prairie Oat Mint, Almond Cream or Oil Patrol . Pat dry. Moisturize as you like.
SATURDAY : A FIT FACIAL WITH MICROCRYSTAL REFINING CREAM
T
his is just like your usual Rhassoul procedure but with an added layer, the MicroCrystal Peel Cream.
1. Swab your dry face with DayBreak's Rose Petal Toner or any toner you like.
2. Now wet your face. Apply a thin film of the MicroCrystal Refining Cream all over your face and neck. You can also just give certain key areas a "spot facial" if you like.
3. Wet the piece of Rhassoul. Rub it directly all over the Refining Cream on your face in light, upward motions and keep doing that until you have created a thick, creamy lather. Use the Rhassoul directly on your skin or make a hand lather. No matter how you do it, you need to achieve a good thick Rhassoul lather to cover the Refining Cream. Once the Cream is covered, massage your face, forehead and neck in light upward motions. No washcloths. You want all Rhassoul's minerals to get in there and polish!! Allow the lather to rest for 15-30 seconds. Do not rinse.
4. While you're waiting, take your Prairie Oat Mint or Almond Cream, lather it up between your hands and apply that sudsy lather directly over the Rhassoul lather. Wash the entire face. Now rinse. Pat damp ... not dry. Feel your skin ... you're going to be amazed!!
5. Skipping the oily areas, put three dots of Face Feed on cheeks and other dry areas. Tap into your skin.
6. Now use the Pore Seal & Protect. Pump out one pea-sized dot into your palm. Take the dot and dot it on forehead, each cheek, chin and neck. Make it stretch so you don't have heavy coverage. Blend to cover your face and neck.
SUNDAY
God rested on Sunday and so can you and your face! Just splashes of pure water and if necessary a pearl of Pore Seal & Protect!
Dermatologists agree good skin care must include and balance the 5 basic skin cleansing functions which are:
1. CLEANSING Dissolving surface debris, oils. Drawing out toxins, lifting away cosmetic product build-up. So you begin with our Rose Petal Toner.
2. EXFOLIATING Lifting off dry, dead skin cells ... Unsurpassed here are our MicroCrystal Refining Cream and the Original Rhassoul used with either Prairie Oat Mint or Almond Cream.
3. POLISHING exposing and stimulating the bright, glowing layer of skin beneath the dead dry cells. Again, Rhassoul and one of our complexion bars is superb at giving you a great new glow.
4. NOURISHING Delivering vitamins and minerals to this new layer of skin...we've got you covered with the Face Feed ...
5. MOISTURIZING Pore Seal & Protect Envelops the new skin in a soft blanket of plant oils to preserve and maintain that Rhassoul radiance!
The final result? A beautiful glow – dubbed "that Rhassoul radiance" by it's fans -- that only Rhassoul Complexion Polish System -- makes possible. Thousands of women agree. Let me know if you do too!!
