It’s important to understand that skin ages in two distinct ways. First, your genetic make-up causes certain aging processes to trigger at certain times in your life. Second, your skin is impacted by environmental influences. These influences can be from the sun, smoking, stress, lack of sleep and even lack of exercise. These factors can break down the collagen in your skin, causing skin to sag and droop, forcing lines and wrinkles to appear, and causing uneven skin tone. Skin science points out that even dead skin cells can cause tiny lines and wrinkles to appear.

There are basically 2 approaches to skin care – prevention and restoration. Both of these objectives work hand in hand to help your skin look younger and stay that way. Your skin care routine is not complete if you don’t begin with cleansing. Environmental impurities, facial oils, dead skin cells, and makeup residue build up on your skin. This combination of troublesome substances can lead to premature aging if not removed with daily cleansing. It’s best to cleanse in the morning and at night. The eb5 skin care system includes eb5 Cleansing Formula which contains alpha-hydroxy acids for gentle exfoliation in a soap free base that rinses completely clear. No residue is left to irritate your skin.

The second step in the process is toning. For some people cool water works wonders, for the rest of us, we need a little extra help to reduce pore appearance, tighten skin and add a vibrant glow. We’ve designed eb5 Toning Formula with a balance of natural extracts which work together to leave skin clarified and refreshed.

A cleansed and toned face is the starting point for anti-aging treatments, moisturizing, neck treatments, firming treatments and the application of a makeup base. In the eb5 system, we’ve combined all of these benefits into our eb5 Facial Cream. Simple, powerful, and affordable. Why do it? Because as you age your skin changes. The outer layer of your skin, the epidermis, begins to thin, holds less moisture and is more subject to damage. Protecting the appearance of your skin by moisturizing and firming and aiding its recovery with anti-aging treatments enables it to feel and look more resilient and counteract signs of aging.

So you have a great system, it’s all working well but you still have areas that need extra attention. Perhaps it’s an age spot or two that you’d like to disappear, not just hide with foundation or a well-placed scarf. Maybe you left your crow’s feet unattended too long and they need some extra nudging to get back on the crow. Specialty Treatments are designed to help you attack the areas specific to your skin needs. Used in conjunction with a complete skin care regime, you can accelerate your skin’s improvement in those areas.

You may have guessed, no matter what your age is, you’re in the prevention and restoration business. The best course of action is a conscientious skin care regimen that covers all the bases without breaking the bank. If you’re not an eb5 customer, we encourage you to try our treatments.
