Step One: Do a double-cleanse using a gentle cleanser such as CosMedix Benefit Cleanor Purity Solution oil cleanser. If you are already wearing make-up or sunscreen it's worthwhile doing a double cleanse with the gentle cleanser before using the exfoliating cleanser.
If your skin is already tolerant of active ingredients, for the second cleanse use a higher strength cleanser made with l-lactic acid. Mix one pump of CosMedix Purity Clean with water, massaged onto the skin for a few seconds, then remove with water.
Clarify Foaming cleanser is more suitable than Purity Clean to use for Rosacea or Hypersensitive Skin.
Step Two: Exfoliation
Ideally use an enzyme (gel) mask made with l-lactic. This will refresh the skin's surface and allow for penetration of the serums.
Pure Enzymesis made with enzymes and L-lactic. It's suitable for a normal skin type that isn't prone to flushing.
Regenzyme Mask is a gel mask with no L-lactic. It's suitable for sensitive and Rosacea skin that is prone to flushing.
Start the application of Pure Enzymes on the forehead using your fingertips. Apply a thin layer down the face and neck. The mask is very concentrated. It can be massaged into the skin until there is no more slip.
It's normal for the skin to tingle for the first three minutes. Fan the mask to dry for one minute. If you wish to activate the enzyme in the mask, use steam.
Leave to dry for ten minutes. Remove the mask with the towel. Put some cool water onto the skin and use a damp cotton pad to remove any mask residue.
Regenzyme Maskis made only with fermented enzymes. It has a thicker consistency to Pure Enzymes and doesn't dry on the face. The mask will feel tingly on application. Leave on the skin for 3 minutes. It can be left on for up to 15 minutes.
Step Three:
Apply two pumps of Hyaluronic Acid Gliding Solution to the skin.
Micro-channel roller .25 ml - watch the video tutorial that demonstrates the feathering technique.
Divide the face into four sections. Leave the neck to last. Start on the forehead in the middle of the face. Roll the stamp against the skin and work down the face in one line, moving from the center, outward to the hairline. Do the right side of the forehead, then the left side.
After finishing the forehead, move into the lower part of the face, roll the right, then left cheeks. It's safe to use the stamp around the eye bone (lower) and also an upper lid, just under the eyebrows. Don't forget to also stamp the lips then the nose. Finally, roller the neck vertically.
After rolling the face and neck vertically, switch and repeat the same steps but roller horizontally, working from the center of the face outward.
This technique ensures the highest number of channels is created. The active ingredients are absorbed into the skin through the channels.
Cautions
Avoid sauna and heat (exercise) for a minimum of two days. You may find the face is sore to touch and flushes more easily. Do not go into direct sunlight. Always wear a mineral sunscreen (made with Titanium or Zinc Oxide) and make-up. If going outdoors, wait twenty minutes before applying a mineral sunscreen (SPF) or make-up twenty minutes after the treatment. This gives enough time for the small channels to close and no longer absorb any ingredients. Use CoMedix Protect SPF30 (spray mineral sunscreen) and INIKA mineral makeup foundation. A trial pack is available to purchase on the website for £8.50 It's safe to wear mineral makeup immediately after the treatment. Liquid foundations can interfere with the active ingredients in the treatment and should be avoided. POST TREATMENT Immediately after and for the next two days it's normal to see flushed skin. The skin may also go red following cleansing. HOMECARE ROUTINE For the next seven days, after cleansing use theAnteAGE® SystemSerum (No. 1) and Accelerator (No. 2) 30ml in the evening. This is also available in a travel size kit (5ml) The products can be used morning and evening but are likely to run out very quickly. The kit lasts approximately ten days. As an alternative, post-treatment use theCosMedix Sensitive Skin Kit RRP £68.96 for seven days. The kit lasts a total of 21-days. Repeat the treatment every seven to fourteen days. CLEAN ROLLER - after using put roller into an alcohol solution for a few seconds, dry and reseal with the lid.
