Put Your Best Face Forward

• Posted by Taylor Stevens Salon & Spa

As summer starts to end and tans begin to fade, you may notice that your skin is looking dull and dry. You may also see signs of sun damage like wrinkles, brown spots, freckles, a blotchy or an uneven complexion. The best thing you can do to protect your skin from future sun damage is to cover up and use sunscreen liberally, but if the damage has already been done, it's time to check out Aveda's EnbrightenmentTM collection. This collection has been clinically proven to improve skin's clarity by 52% and diminish the appearance of dark spots by 34% within 8 weeks.
To revive your sexy summer skin, begin your daily routine with the EnbrightenmentTM Brightening Cleaner. With this cleanser, a little goes a long way. Derived from coconut and enriched with extracts of rosemary and aloe, this facial cleanser gently lifts away impurities and dull surface cells to improve overall skin clarity. With aromatic hints of lavender, sustainably sourced sandalwood, organic rose geranium and organic rosemary essential oils, this cleanser also helps soothe and calm the skin, leaving it glowing and noticeably brighter.
Quench your skin's thirst by misting your face with Aveda's EnbrightenmentTM Brightening Treatment Toner. Enhanced with glucosamine and salicylic acid, this toner helps increase cell turnover, leaving you with more radiant skin. In addition, this toner is 100% derived from mulberry root, grape extracts, and a vitamin C derivative that not only moisturizes, it reduces the appearance of discoloration and dark spots for a more even skin tone.
To seal in more hydration, apply a moisturizer while your skin is still damp from the toner. Aveda's EnbrightenmentTMBrightening Correcting Crème will not only intensely moisturize skin with organic shea butter, but it will help strengthen your skin's moisture barrier with ceramide 3. In addition, this moisturizer will help protect against sun damage with SPF 15 and treat damage already done by minimizing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
While using a cleanser will remove surface dirt and impurities, a good facial masque will eliminate impurities from beneath the top layers of skin. Once every week or couple of weeks, use a facial masque like Aveda's EnbrightenmentTMBrightening Intensive Massage Masque to enhance your skin care regimen. With vitamins C and E, this 8-minute massage-in masque helps improve skin's tone, making it noticeably softer and more radiant. Follow up with a toner and moisturizer, and you're good to go.
It's hard to stay confident when you're suffering from dry, sun damaged skin. Your face is the first thing people see and it's a big part of your identity. The last thing you want is for people to notice those pesky brown spots, red blotches, or dry flakes. Put those worries behind you, and put your best face forward with Aveda's EnbrightenmentTM collection.
