Daily Skin Treatment Recommendations for Your Skin Type

Let Aloette Help You Choose the Right Products to Care for Your Skin

Age, ethnicity, genetics... Everyone's skin is different and requires specific skin care products to keep it healthy and radiant. Check out Aloette's guidelines for developing a daily skin care regimen based on your skin type. Let Aloette help you keep your skin hydrated and glowing while overcoming trouble spots like age spots, fine lines, dry patches and acne.

Mature Skin

As the skin ages, it loses its natural firmness and elasticity, becoming thinner and dryer and leading to fine lines and wrinkles. With new skin cells taking longer to develop, and dead skin cells building up faster, skin often appears dull, uneven and splotchy. Mature skin types therefore need more specialized skin care products to help increase collagen production, exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce age spots and help skin appear more hydrated and luminous.

Step 1: Cleanse

Wash your face with an anti-aging facial cleanser like Pure Radiance Revitalizing Cleanser, which contains ingredients like Lumitone, allantoin, glycerin and lactic acid to help increase skin cell growth, remove dead skin cells, and brighten and hydrate skin.

Step 2: Hydrate

Draw moisture back into the skin with intensive day and night creams. Use a protective face moisturizer in the morning, like Cellular Day Defense with SPF 15, and a night face moisturizer like Night Recovery Complex or Time Restore Firming Serum to help skin repair and rejuvenate overnight.

Step 3: Rejuvenate Problem Areas

Depending on your needs, here are a few different types of targeted anti-aging treatments to try:

Sensitive/Dry Skin
Keeping sensitive and dry skin hydrated should be your first priority!

Step 1: Use a Moisturizing Cleanser

Dry and sensitive skin types need to avoid harsher cleansers that strip their skin of needed moisture. One to try: Hydra-Cleansing Emulsion. Dermatologist tested, this creamy moisturizing cleanser gently cleans skin and removes makeup while hydrating the skin.

Step 2: Gently Exfoliate

When your skin is excessively dry, or if you suffer from dry patches, it is important to remove the layers of dead skin on the surface to let healthy skin show through. Try the Multi-Action Face Scrub, a gentle and effective exfoliator with almond meal and kaolin that won't scratch or irritate sensitive skin.

Step 3: Moisturize

Get the most out of your moisturizer! Maximum Moisture Complex, with 32% Aloe Vera and other natural ingredients, penetrates deeply to ensure all the skin's layers stay hydrated.

Step 4: Moisturize Again & Again

In addition to a using a face moisturizer at night and in the morning, keep skin hydrated throughout the day with a face mister. Keep it in your purse or in your desk at work for ongoing hydration, especially crucial in hotter months. Try the Skin Drench Energizing Mist, packed with over 50% Aloe Vera and other essential amino acids.

Oily/Acne-Prone Skin
The main concern with oily and acne-prone skin is keeping skin clear and hydrated without causing pores to clog even further or more blemishes to appear.

Step 1: Cleanse Thoroughly

Use a face cleanser with alpha and beta hydroxy acid, like Clarifying Facial Wash, to help unclog pores and lift impurities from skin. The jojoba beads also work to gently remove dead skin cells without drying out the skin.

Step 2: Tone Without Irritating

It is imperative to make sure you remove excess oil and dirt from the skin to achieve a clear complexion. Use a makeup remover with natural ingredients like Essential Cleansing Oil, and follow your face cleanser with a toner like Clarifying Deep Action Toner or the dermatologist tested Oil Control Toner.

Step 3: Target Pimples

Any inflamed blemish or acne can be treated with the fast-acting Acne Treatment Lotion, made with glycolic acid, salicylic acid and sulfur to help get rid of blemishes fast.

Step 3: Moisturize

Even oily and acne-prone skin needs daily hydration. Choose a lightweight and oil-free face moisturizer, like Clarifying Moisture Balance, to help skin stay smooth without clogging pores.

Normal & Combination Skin

Cleanse and tone, scrub and moisturize is the main skin care regimen for normal and combination skin types.

Step 1: Cleanse & Tone

While you have your pick of facial cleansers, foaming cleansers often work best on this skin type. The Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser, for example, removes daily dirt and grime without irritating skin. Also make sure your skin is free from all impurities and makeup by toning skin daily with a gentle skin care toner like the best-selling Skin Refining Toner.

Step 2: Exfoliate

Look for a non-invasive scrub or exfoliator that will remove dead skin cells without causing redness – like the Restorative Enzyme Peel, Aloette's Instant 60-Second Miracle Peel. You will see results in just one minute!

Step 3: Moisturize

If you have normal or combination skin, try a lightweight lotion that hydrates without suffocating pores, like Nutri-Moisture Lotion. This lightweight, dermatologist tested aloe vera moisturizer traps excess oil while soothing and protecting the skin's natural moisture balance.

Using skin care products with natural ingredients, like Aloe Vera and vitamins A and E, will help skin stay healthy regardless of your skin type. Also try using face masks, like the Skin Renewal Mud Masque, and other spa products once a week to balance out skin and remove excess impurities that your face cleanser may miss.
