Eczema: Skincare Tips from Heather, Esthetician

Heather is an esthetician at Ulta, and by the looks of her bare skin, she’s darn good at her job!

She herself has sensitive skin/eczema, so she says she really has to watch what she puts on her face.  She offers the following info on what she does to keep her own skin looking so flawless:

“Moisturizing too much can cause more damage.  So can exfoliating too much.  I keep it simple.  I don’t wash my face in the mornings with a cleanser.  The oil that I create over night helps more than anything.  I just rinse with water, tone with Dermalogica’s Multi-Active Toner, and moisturize. 

Lately, I’ve been using Exuviance Ultra Restorative Cream.  It’s also anti-aging, which is what this momma needs…lol!  Evening is another story- I have to wash my face, so I use Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser or Special Cleansing Gel, depending on what makeup I wear.  I exfoliate with white sugar mixed with my cleanser twice a week. 

Once a week, I take advantage of my job and use the colloidal masque for hydrating and toning purposes.  I tone again with Multi-Active Toner, and moisturize with Pond’s Cold Cream.  It’s old but it really works, I just hate that it’s in a jar.  Most people don’t have a toner in their regimen, and they need to.  It puts the pH balance of your skin back to where it needs to be.” –Heather Kent

Thank you, Heather, for showing those of with sensitive skin that we can look great, too!  We look forward to more from you!
