SMOKING
Cigarette smoking robs the skin of its vitality and potential for being smooth and attractive. The skin suffers from the deteriorative effects of carbon monoxide and nicotine in the circulatory system, depriving the skin tissue of much needed oxygen and vital nutrients. People who smoke have a depleted, pallid complexion and skin that wrinkles prematurely.

EXERCISE
People who are physically fit look good and feel good. A regular exercise program will help to lengthen your life, improve your appearance, build your self-confidence, reshape your figure and delay the aging process. Exercise also benefits the skin by helping to maintain a clear circulation, calming the nerves and promoting a deeper, more revitalizing sleep.

ALCOHOL
It is extremely popular for some of those giving advice about skin care to say that alcohol in a toner is bad for the skin. This logic has become very widespread, and like so much "common wisdom" it is based on statements made, and oft repeated, but without the support of substantiating data. Alcohol based toners are key products in virtually every major skin care line, simply because they are effective. In addition, they are beneficial and non irritating for most people. The truth is that based on their overwhelming usage by millions of people daily, alcohol based toners pass any scrutiny regarding whether or not they act predictably as an irritant to the skin. The answer is that the usage data overwhelmingly demonstrates that alcohol toners have proven themselves to be quite safe for daily usage for most people, and the continuous use, and repeat purchases, by millions, because of their own personal experiences without difficulty, enables this category of product to be regarded as safe and compatible with the skin for nearly all people.

Cleansing
A good skin care program has has its focal point a skin cleansing regimen that will remove the byproducts of cellular metabolism, eliminate bacteria, deep cleanse follicles, remove excess sebaceous fluids and exfoliate exhausted skin cells. The quality of the program depends on the quality of the products. Products with inferior ingredients can actually harm your skin by drying it out, irritating it or even blocking the pores. Skin cleansing should be done in a way that skin is stimulated, totally cleansed and not damaged by abradants that are too harsh. The SkinClean system provides a balanced mechanism to provide deep cleansing removing bacteria and the toxins of cellular debris along with proper exfoliation, meeting all of the requirement for an effective program when conscientiously applied.

WATER
Water is essential for the hydration of the skin to keep it moist, soft, supple and clear. Loss of moisture from the skin is one main cause of wrinkles.
The average person needs six to eight glasses of clean, pure water each day. Hot weather and exercising require an increase in the amount of water needed. (Soda, tea, coffee, juice and alcohol can not substitute for water.) Water is a natural appetite suppressant. Water rids the body of waste materials.

REST
People are constantly on the go, but also constantly encouraged to be physically fit. However, it is rarely mentioned that to balance our busy active days, we also need enough rest and sleep. The skin will mirror a well rested body with vitality and a healthy glow.

NUTRITION
Eating a varied diet rich in whole, natural foods, balanced in protein, fats and carbohydrates; and void of chemicals, adulteration and refinement is something that will allow you to realize your potential as a physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being. Certainly the health and beauty of your skin depends on it.
