"Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ultra Salon Cosmetics and I'm going to give you some tips on how you can care for your skin. Most important thing that you can do is to get on a good skin care regimen which consists of a cleanser; it's really important to make sure that your cleansing your skin of any dirt, any impurities everyday especially at night, washing toxins off of your face as you, that help to basically cause premature aging. Everytime we walk outside, we're attack by pollution and environmental aggressors that can lead to premature aging and the breakdown of collagen and elastin. So cleansers are really important. A toner, basically helps to balance the pH of the skin and make all other product as you put on top of it work better for you. A really good moisturizer; your moisturizer helps to keep your moisture barrier intact and that's the first line of defense against keeping your collagen and elastin intact and helping to prevent against premature aging. And eye cream is extremely important. Skin around your eyes, then it's the most delicate skin on your body so you want to make sure that you really hydrate that area and keep it protected. And last thing is the sunblock. Most premature aging that we face is cause from UV damage so just by putting a sunblock on everyday before you leave your house can assure that you're protecting your skin from environmental aggressors. So those are some tips that you can use to keep your skin really nice and healthy."
