SKIN CARE CANADA (Proactiv Skin Care)

Your skin is your body's largest organ. It helps protect you against the environment and plays a major role in your appearance. But your skin needs regular care and attention in order to remain healthy and attractive. Taking good care of your skin — including proper cleaning, moisturizing, use of sunscreen and shaving — can help prevent skin-related problems, such as acne, dry or rough skin, deep wrinkles, liver or brown spots, and skin cancer.

Cleaning your face: Be gentle

Cleaning is an essential part of caring for your complexion. Whatever your skin type — oily, dry, balanced or combination — the key to cleaning is to treat your skin gently. If you suffer from acne you should use Proactiv Solution’s 3-step system.

When washing your face:

When washing your face:

  • Remove eye makeup. Use a soft sponge, cotton cloth or cotton balls and Proactiv Solution Oil Free moisturizing cream to avoid damaging the delicate tissue around your eyes. If you wear heavy, waterproof makeup, you also may need to use an oil-based product such as petroleum jelly.
  • Use lukewarm water. Avoid washing your face with very hot water, which can dry out your skin.
  • Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps — those most capable of stripping oil from your skin — can leave your skin dry. These products don't contain additives such as moisturizers or moisture retainers. Products containing lauryl sulfates are harsher than products containing sarcosinates, sulfosuccinates and cocoamphodiacetates. A mild cleanser, such as Proactiv Solution Renewing Cleanser would be a good choice. It will gently wash away excess oil and dirt.
  • Avoid irritating additives. Avoid products containing perfumes or dyes. These can irritate your skin and may possibly trigger an allergic response. Try Proactiv Solution Revitalizing Toner to balance skin tone and remove dead skin cells to reveal the vital, radiant skin beneath.
  • Use your hands to wash your face. Instead of using a washcloth, which can be abrasive, wash your face gently using your fingers.
  • Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use a soft cotton towel to dry your face.

Repair your skin and stop acne at its source. The Benzoyl Peroxide in our light, luxurious lotion is finely milled to penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface. Safe for the entire face, Repairing Lotion helps attack the bacteria that cause acne, helping to clear up existing blemishes and help prevent new ones from forming. Product contains soothing Allantoin to help stimulate cellular renewal and Silica to absorb excess facial oils. Leaves skin feeling silky soft, day or night.

Generally, wash your face once in the morning, once in the evening and after exercising or engaging in sports. If your skin is very dry and easily irritated, washing once a day may be enough to remove sweat and oil from your skin. If your skin is oily or prone to blackheads or acne — and you live in a warm and humid environment — you may need to wash it more frequently than twice a day. Otherwise, twice a day may be enough. Be sure to use Proactiv Solutions 3-step system to avoid damaging your skin and developing acne.
