The advanced skin care routine builds upon the basic skin care regimen using the same treatments but builds upon the regimen by introducing an additional active anti-aging ingredient as one of the daily moisturizing treatments.
It also incorporates treatments to treat the delicate area around the eye.
The advanced skin care routine provides the opportunity to include a wider range of rejuvenating treatments without adding any more time than it takes to complete the basic skin care regimen which addresses a much wider range of aging skin concerns.
Perhaps one day there will be just one single treatment that can address all the different symptoms of aging skin but, until that time, the layering technique is a great strategy to comprehensively address a variety of aging skin concerns.
Think of the layering technique like you are making a sandwich.
You start with a treatment, and simply apply another (or two) on top of that. It might be a vitamin rich serum followed by a hydrating moisturizer or a nighttime retinol product followed by an enriching hyaluronic acid serum and then, finally, an under-eye treatment.
The rejuvenating components of this advanced skin care routine include an antioxidant, a vitamin A (retinol) treatment, a 10% concentration of glycolic acid, DMAE for firming qualities and a vitamin K treatment for the eye area.

Skinsational Tip:
Consider
substituting the evening AHA exfoliation with a
microdermabrasion exfoliating scrub such as IQ Naturals Microdermasion
once or twice a week and a weekly skin peel.
If you feel like a bit of extra pampering or just want a little fun with some swirling action try one of the home microdermabrasion spa kits, like a Home MicroDermabrasion System which utilizes the same aluminum-oxide crystals that the professional spa treatments use.
Did you know?
The general rule of thumb is that only five home microdermabrasion treatments are the equivalent to one professional dermabrasion.
Once you have established a basic facial rejuvenation regimen, then
start to slowly integrate the layering
technique to expand your advacned skin care routine into an even more comprehensive strategy.
