Proper Skin Care Regemin

The TimeWise® Miracle Set provides incredible age-fighting results to help you maintain younger-looking skin. The set offers 11 age-defying benefits in one skin care regimen: cleanse, exfoliate, freshen, energize, hydrate, smooth, firm, soften, protect, rebuild and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

The Miracle Set includes a 4 step process (that is listed below), that is very simple and easy to use. And by utilizing all 4 steps you are sure to see signs of improvement for healthier looking skin and the fading of fine lines and wrinkles.

The Miracle Set includes:

Step 1 ( Use in the Day & Night)
*TimeWise® 3-In-1 Cleanser, 4.5 oz. net wt.
(This creamy cleanser leaves normal to dry skin feeling clean, fresh and radiant with enhanced hydration. As it cleanses, exfoliates and freshens in one step, it begins the process to reveal younger-looking skin. Plus, with each use, your skin feels refreshed.)

Step 2 (Use during the Day)
*TimeWise® Day Solution Sunscreen SPF 25*, 1 fl. oz.
(Think of it as a veil of defense. With an SPF of 25, this innovative product helps prevent sun damage such as lines and discoloration before they occur by blocking damaging UVA/UVB rays. A calming peptide helps relax expression lines.)

Step 2 (Use during the Night)
*TimeWise® Night Solution, 1 fl. oz.
(A unique delivery system of encapsulated vitamins and antioxidants combined with collagen-enhancing peptides help fade away deep lines and wrinkles. Nutribeads® microcapsules are vitamin-packed. Rest assured your skin is being revitalized while you sleep.)

Step 3 (Use during the Day & Night)
*TimeWise® Age-Fighting Moisturizer, 3 fl. oz.
(Reduce the appearance of fine lines for younger-looking skin with this oil-free lotion. It’s formulated with antioxidants that help guard against free radicals which cause the skin to age. The patented complex helps accelerate skin’s renewal process – hydrates, smooths, firms and softens.)

Step 4 (Use during the Day)
*Mary Kay® Medium-Coverage Foundation
(Lightweight yet long-wearing, Mary Kay® Medium-Coverage Foundation gives you stay-true, stay-put color for a flawless finish. This silky-smooth formula controls excess oil for at least eight hours and evens skin tone.)

*******This extra step should only be done 2-3 times per week. This is what we call the miracle in a bottle. And this step should be used after cleansing the face. This Step can be used during the day or night. But it is best if used at night*******

*TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Set
Fight fine lines, refine pores and achieve beautifully smooth skin – immediately – with this simple, two-step set.

Step 1-a (Use during Day/Night)
Refine is an advanced exfoliator using the same professional grade exfoliating crystals used by dermatologists, to immediately energize skin and reveal more radiant, healthy-looking skin.

Step 1-b (Use during Day/Night)
Replenish separates the set from the competition. It’s a rich serum, containing vitamins, antioxidants and anti-irritants. This serum nourishes the soft, smooth skin revealed by Step 1: Refine.

Different Skin Types

There are four basic skin types: dry, normal, combination and oily, and each skin type has its own characteristics.

Dry Skin

Dry skin is characterized by small pores and a matte (dull) finish with little or no superficial oil or shine. Expression lines are quick to form on dry skin, especially around the eyes and mouth. Dry skin is more common in women over 50 and in those who live in low-humidity climates. Dry skin can develop among women who don’t protect their skin.

Normal skin is healthy-looking skin with a smooth texture. It contains a balance of oil and moisture and has infrequent blemishes or clogged pores. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life.

For normal skin, Mary Kay® products:
•Maintain moisture balance for a healthy, radiant glow.
•Refine skin’s texture and leave it clean and refreshed.

Combination Skin

Combination skin is healthy-looking skin with a smooth texture and some oiliness in the T-zone areas (the area forming a “T” across the forehead and down the nose and chin) with some signs of dryness on the cheeks and outer edges of the face. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life.

Understanding Special Skin Conditions

Symptoms of extremes in skin types, such as overly dry or oily, can be improved through proper skin care. It’s very important to remember that skin care products and cosmetics will help the skin look and feel good but will not cure skin disorders. In addition, there may be other circumstances, such as pregnancy, which may need the guidance of a physician. Sensitive Skin Sensitive skin is defined as skin easily irritated by topically applied products or environmental factors. Labels that say “suitable for sensitive skin” are reflected in the Mary Kay® product packaging for skin care, customized skin care and color products. The claim was substantiated by clinical tests which showed that these products are suitable for sensitive skin with the following exceptions:

•Moisture Rich Mask Formula 1 and Revitalizing Mask Formula 2 are safe for sensitive skin when used as masks. When used as scrubs, they may cause irritation to sensitive skin.

•Purifying Freshener Formula 2 (which contains alcohol), Blemish Control Toner Formula 3† and Acne Treatment Gel† (which are designed to treat mild to occasional acne) may irritate sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, I want to recommend using our Hydrating Freshener Formula 1 in your classic basic skin care sets.

•TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Step 1: Refine may cause irritation to sensitive skin.

Blemish-Prone Skin Acne or blemish-prone skin is a remarkably common skin condition. While many adolescents may experience acne, this condition also can appear for the first time in adults in their 20s or 30s or even later in life.

Generally, however, if you had acne as a teenager, you are more likely to have it again as an adult. Eighty to 100 percent of all teenagers have acne to some degree, and an increasing number of adult women also have some acne. Those who benefit from Mary Kay® acne products (Acne Treatment Gel† and Blemish Control Toner Formula 3†) are those who have mild or occasional acne.

Some results may be seen within days, but a majority of users will experience the maximum reduction in acne lesions after using the product for eight weeks or more.

In addition, once acne is present, excessive scrubbing or frequent cleansing will not control it, and any rough manipulation of the skin may further irritate and inflame the lesions or even lead to the formation of new acne lesions.
