IMAGE SKIN CARE

Lately I've been venturing out my usual skin regime. I asked a fellow esthetician friend about a line she swears by. She uses Image Skin Care. She told me about the products and she recommended I try it out. I did my research before making my purchase. Because of my AVM and radiation, I really need to be careful with what goes on my skin.

Their mission statement "IMAGE Skincare, a professional corporation, is dedicated and committed to providing our customers with the highest integrity of service, professional products and continuing education in the field of skincare and esthetic procedures."  

If you look on their webpage www.imageskincare.com you will see the bio on founder and director. 

There are numerous products for any skin types. My skin type is oily, condition is acne prone skin and acne scars. I'm an Esthetician (yes there are very awesome Estheticians out there that have real skin conditions but still provide great services) and I needed a change up the peel I would do on myself. Only professional licensed Estheticians should do this and able to perform this. After much research and consulting my fellow Esthetician, this was the new regime for me and my new grade of peel, a Jessner peel for my deep acne scars. Microdermabrasion helps it even more but that will a later topic. 

The first one is the Ormerdic. This collection is their "organic ingredients but medical effectiveness. I got the Balancing Facial Cleanser because it's exactly what it says, balancing. This cleanser is a gel cleanser, which I love, because it foams on the skin and feels fresh. It takes off dirt and makeup and balances your PH so much that you don't need a toner. I still use a toner, but that's my preference. Best of all - it's paraben free. 

In their Ageless line, I decided to try the Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque. This is an "micro-exfoliating masque with alpha hydroxy acids" that help to resurface and rejuvenates the skin. Alpha hydroxy and often used to lighten and brighten hyperpigmentation and/or acne scars.

This masque is very important as a post treatment after my peel. It is a hydrating enzyme masque. This aids in exfoliating the buildup of dry, dull skin. It's filled with vitamins A, C, E which helps promotes healthy, more younger skin. Who wouldn't want that?

"A hydrating serum that incorporates the new technology of oil-soluble Vitamin C with the highest bio-availability to immediately soothe the visible effects of environmentally damaged skin. Vitamins A, E and highly potent anti-oxidants nourish the skin to create a healthy, youthful glow. Paraben free." This is a must as post treatment for those who does peel or laser. 

The Iluma line is amazing. This Intense Lightening Serum "Quickly diminishes all forms of pigmentation from sun spots to melasma. Formulated by plastic surgeons, this revolutionary intense lightening line utilizes Vectorize –TechnologyTM to deliver potent encapsulated lightening agents to correct and prevent pigmentation and uneven skin tone."  

I am on the 1st week of using these products. For one week, it's amazing how much the tone and texture of my skin have changed. Usually after 2 weeks you'll see a difference with any skincare line. It being only 1 week seeing that much of a difference, that says a lot about this skincare line.
