Welcome to my e-zine and this premier issue that walks you through facial cleansers and their prominent place in a skin care routine. You might be wondering why I've dedicated a whole issue towards facial cleansing. In short, most people get this part of their skincare routine totally wrong. Finding the perfect cleanser can be so overwhelming that many people settle for using bar soap, body wash, or even shampoo to cleanse their face. Some people don't bother to wash their face at all. Wait, what? Yep, you read that right. Can you even imagine? Ha! And those who know what to use don't always cleanse properly and adequately. When my facial cleanser runs out, I can't just reach for any old bar of soap to wash my face. I use a cleansing formula that suits my skin type and it's unique personality. And so should you. Not sure what I mean by "skin personality"? That's not surprising since you've probably never thought about your skin having a personality. But— I promise that when you're trying to find a cleanser that will whisk away the day's debris and leave your skin feeling great, you'll want to take skin personality into account. Why?

Because facial cleansers have a specific role to play in a cleansing routine. There are cleansers on the market that contain harsh ingredients like alcohol, soap, and lauryl sulfate—and those ingredients can cause irritation, redness, dryness, and more. Using skin-drying ingredients and applying them in the wrong manner can actually disrupt your skin's natural barrier— which is basically the layer that protects against harmful bacteria and other irritants. I've been in the beauty business for 35 years and have spent a lot of time researching and testing products for my clients (and myself!). So— I know all about this stuff. While designing my signature skincare collection, I explored various cleanser options to find ones that would work well for most skin types and personalities. If you feel like your current facial cleansing game could be bumped up a notch, read on to find out about my new line of facial cleansers and how they can help level up your cleansing routine. I'll also recommend cleansing tools that you can purchase and ship right to your doorstep.

My Signature Collection of Botanical Cleansers "when it comes to quality skin care and usability, I don't play games, and I don't cut corners"

"When you choose a cleanser that is right for your skin type, and use it regularly as directed, you'll see big differences in the way your skin looks—and feels! Rest assured that my cleansers are Paraben, Formaldehyde, Phthalate, Propylene glycol, and Sulfate-free formulations!"

If your skin feels tight and dry after cleansing, your cleansing agent may be removing too much of the precious oil from your skin's surface. And while many people believe that this is a good thing (the idea is that cleansers remove debris, oil, makeup, and SPF residue), I believe there's a right way to cleanse. It doesn't involve stripping your skin of its natural oils. The truth is that oily skin needs just as much care as dry or combination skin. But how can you determine what kind of cleanser is best for your skin? I've thoughtfully curated options in my new line of facial cleansers to address all skin types: oily, dry, combination, normal, and sensitive.

Get ready, because I'm going to tell you exactly how to determine which of my cleansers works best for you—and why it's important to understand the role that a proper cleansing ritual plays in the health and appearance of your skin. To get all of the details about how the right facial cleanser can make the diﬀerence between irritated, stubbornly-dry skin and a healthy glowing skin, go ahead and turn the page! —> Oh, annnnd I’ll also share my tips for maximizing your cleansing routine!! I add in an exfoliating scrub or a silicone cleansing device at least once a week, and I do it at home.

BEST FACE FORWARD: HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT CLEANSER FOR YOUR SKIN'S TYPE AND UNIQUE PERSONALITY So you're ready for a new facial cleanser, but you have no idea which one to buy? Don't fret! Here's a quick guide to help you choose the best cleanser for your skin and your goals. First, ask yourself, "what am I looking for in a cleanser?" Do you want a product that removes makeup? Are you interested in oil control? Or do you simply want something that will leave your skin feeling fresh and clean?

Then consider your skin type. Having a general understanding of your skin type can help you choose the best cleanser and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Skin type is determined by the amount of oil (sebum) that's secreted over your skin's surface. Sebum secretes from our glands and is controlled by genetics and a network of hormonal activity.— If you're not sure of your skin type, don't worry. It's easy to figure that out.

Try this quick & easy test to figure out your skin type: Wash your face and let it air dry.

Then wait 25-30 minutes before looking closely at your skin in a mirror. A sheen throughout your whole face (mainly your forehead) can mean oily skin. If it feels tight and uncomfortable, that's a big sign of dry skin. If you notice separate areas of dryness and oiliness, you probably have combination skin— most people fall into this category. 6 | carolynterry.com April 2022

If you don't see any of these concerns, you are blessed with normal skin, which can be drier during the winter and sightly oily during the summer months.

Now let's look at the chemistry behind the perfect cleanser. The exact science and specificity that create game-changing serums, masks, and face creams also formulate high-quality cleansers. To name a few of the cleansing formulas, there are cleansing oils, oil-based cream cleansers, water-based creamy cleansers, gel-cleansers, water-based (i.e., micellar water), and foam cleansers. These options can make it tricky to decide which formulation to choose. But this detailed approach allows you to have a cleansing agent that removes debris, makeup, environmental pollutants, and SPF without stripping away YOUR skin's natural barrier.

Besides clearing the skin's surface, your cleanser has one more important job to do: preparing your skin to receive all the active ingredients in your advanced skincare treatments.

◀ Table of Contents

"Our skin is our largest organ and it's constantly changing. I'm here to help you meet your skin's needs as you age. " For example, dry skin in the winter can become more oily in the summer, and oily skin can lose its moisture in the winter and experience more dryness.

I left out one skin type on purpose: A classified, sensitive skin type belongs to those who have inherited skin that's prone to: •flushing easily •frequent rashes and bumps •stinging or burning after using a skin care product •adverse reaction to fragrance •and patches of dry, flaky, irritated skin Allergies and environmental factors can sensitize and irritate any skin type. Using the wrong kind of cleanser or over-cleansing can traumatize/sensitize any skin type.

For some people, their skin type changes from day to day depending on their hormones— so even if you think you have dry skin all the time, it's possible that your skin needs more hydration on certain days versus others. #moodyskin The truth is, most of us have a combination of diﬀerent types of skin at any given time. The key is learning what works best for YOU in any given circumstance. And to cover your bases, you'll need a cleanser that has the ability to multi-task! Along with cleansing options that can vary with hormonal and seasonal changes.

You're probably wondering when we'll get around to the part about your skin's unique personality! Let's talk about that right now, shall we? The typical skin type classifications— normal, dry, oily, combination, and sensitive can only tell you so much. Your skin type is rarely as simple as what the primary categories represent. These categories also don't consider the degree of each skin type, for example, dry to very dry, oily to very oily, oily and dehydrated, or dry and dehydrated. They don't reflect the skin's nuances (or personality) and how they impact your skin type— such as acne, sun damage from years of unprotected sun exposure, redness, temperamental skin, clogged pores, or a combination of these concerns. Not only do we experience natural changes as we age, but there are also seasonal and environmental factors that aﬀect our skin.

MY METHOD FOR DETERMINING YOUR SKIN TYPE: When I analyze your skin under the magnifying lamp, I have already completed the cleansing phase of your treatment, and I won't be able to go by how much of a "sheen" you have throughout your face, so I check your t-zone for pores. I note the number of pore openings and their size. And then I proceed with your treatment based on this knowledge.

Hot Water And Steam Will Open Your Pores! the most common forms of clogged pores

Most people think using steam or hot water to wash their face helps because it opens the pores, but in reality, that's just a myth.

Let's set the record straight right here and right now so that you're not wasting valuable time, energy (or money) on a lost cause.

•

Boosts blood flow to nourish your skin and deliver oxygen.

•

The pores are very tiny openings in our skin. But these openings don't have muscles and technically can not open and close.

Warms the skin to aid in product penetration.

•

Hot water (steam) can make the outer layers of skin swell, making pores look more "open." The pores are not temperature sensitive and don't respond the heat or cold.

And not least of all, softens the skin so that blackheads are more easily removed by the esthetician during treatment.

On the flip side

However, facial Steaming can have some lovely effects on the skin and give you peace of mind. •

The feeling of warm steam on your face is relaxing and centering.

•

Helps with sinus congestion.

•

Raises skin temperature to help liquefy sebum on the surface of the skin for a deeper cleanse.

Using ice on your face does not shrink the pore either (they can't shrink, remember?). But ice can reduce puffiness in irritated skin and make it look like the pores have shrunk. Do keep in mind that prolonged exposure to extreme hot or cold temps can harm the skin. One skincare manufacturer that I know of added ingredients to their toner to make the skin swell slightly so that pores appear to be smaller. How sneaky is that?

Skin Care according to

Carolyn Terry

"Keeping my good-eye peeled on the pulse of the skin care industry, so that you don't have to. I know how products work, how they're tested, what sells—and most importantly, I know how you can take all of this and use it to your advantage."

We all want to look and feel our best, and that includes having healthy, gorgeous skin. If you don't have a great skincare routine, it can be challenging to make real headway. There are gobs of information out there, and sometimes it's hard to know who (or what) to trust. It's so easy to get lost in the hype. When it comes to skincare, knowledge is power. With so many new product formulations hitting shelves every day, you've got to have a strategy to stay on top of the trends. Since the beauty sector changes all the time — how do you know what's hot right now? Formulations evolve over time with improved techniques and ingredients— how do you keep up? New ingredients are constantly added to the market— how do you reach them? Without help, chances are, you won't be able to keep up with all of the new products and formulations. You have 3 options: 1) You can do nothing. This is the path most people take because it's easy and doesn't require work or risk. It usually leads to mediocre or even bad results or damaged skin. 2) You can go alone. This will take a lot of effort and research on your part, but at least you're doing something about it! 16 | carolynterry.com April 2022

You stand a good chance of getting good results. Still, there's no guarantee of success because there are so many unknowns in the beauty industry. 3) You can let me do the heavy lifting and start harnessing my experience in this industry to help you make savvy choices about what's suitable for your skin. With 35 years of insight into the beauty industry, I've had the privilege of working with some of the most accomplished brands and professionals in cosmetics. This experience has given me a unique perspective on what works and what doesn't. And I'm here to pass those benefits on to you. I'll show you how to put together a skincare regime to give you the best results possible for your skin type, lifestyle, and age. Not only that, I promise to make sure you never waste time, money, and effort on products that don't actually work the way they claim they do. With me in your corner, you can stop trying to figure out what to put on your face and let me personalize a plan for you. — Set up your introductory facial treatment. In keeping with our current conversation about facial cleansers, I've provided answers to FQAs about various facial cleansing guidelines. Read on for tips to help you ace your facial cleansing routine.

How Often Should You Wash Your Face? It Depends! Find Out If Less Can Be More When It Comes To Washing Your Face. Q : How often do I really need to wash my face each day? CT : How many times you should wash your face per day depends on your skin type (how much oil your skin produces in a day) and your lifestyle.

Ultimately, whatever your skin type, the best time to wash your face is when you'll actually do it. So try to incorporate your cleansing into the daily routines you already have to make it as simple as possible to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Most people can get away with washing their face once a day, but others need to do so twice. You should wash your face twice per day if you have oily skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin, you will probably be better oﬀ only washing your face once per day. And lastly, If you have combination skin, you likely fall into the once or twice a day camp depending on how oily your T-Zone is. Everyone's skin has it’s unique personality and is aﬀected by a combination of factors, including your genetics, hormones, environment, seasonal changes, and even your workout habits. The most important thing is to be diligent about taking care of your skin and finding the routine that works for you.

Q : I love the feeling of fresh, cleansed skin. What's the harm in washing my face several times a day to kill all of the germs? CT : While it might seem to go against everything you've ever heard or read in other beauty magazines, the truth is that harm can be done by washing your face too frequently. Over-washing your face can strip away your skin's natural barrier (which holds in moisture). Or it can cause more oil production, which can contribute to acne flare-ups. You should identify your skin type and use that as a guideline for face-washing frequency.-- You'll need to pay close attention to make sure your skin does not become irritated, too oily, or dry from too much of a good thing.

Q : Can I get by without washing my face after workouts?

CT : My final thoughts

CT : If you lead an active lifestyle, whether you walk for exercise, run, jump rope, bike, or hiking, be sure to wash oﬀ the sweat after your workouts. Sweat serves the purpose of keeping your body cool during exertion. Due to the high sodium content, any sweat left on your face for extended periods can dry out your skin and irritate its upper layers. So never "ever-ever" let the sweat dry and sit on your skin!

** During your evening cleanse, it's necessary to

Q : Should I wash my face in the morning or at night? CT : Those with normal, dry, or sensitive skin may only need to wash their face once a day in the evening. Adding in a quick once-over with a warm washcloth in the morning to refresh the skin before starting the day. If you have oily or combination skin, it's best to wash your face in the morning and at night before bed. However, if you can only manage to cleanse once per day, it's more critical to wash at night to clear away all traces of your makeup, oil, SPF, dead skin cells, or environmental pollutants that have accumulated throughout the day. Your cleanser should be gentle enough not to dry out the skin but deep-cleansing enough to remove traces of debris and oil from your skin. And if you wear makeup all day long, your pillowcase will definitely thank you! ◀ Table of Contents

While washing your face might seem like the most basic step to your skincare routine, here's a quick recap of a few things you should keep in mind to ace the most crucial aspect of your skin care ritual. remove all of your makeup before getting started. If you don't remove your makeup, you aren't getting the full benefit of facial wash and the rest of your skincare products (plus, makeup left on your face can lead to clogged pores). Once you have removed your makeup, use a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type to ensure that you wash away debris, oils, and other impurities without stripping your skin.

** And when it comes to washing your face, don't

be aggressive— the skin on your face is delicate and needs to be handled with care. Scrubbing too hard can damage your skin. And you may also be tempted to use soaps and body bars on your face, but avoid these harsh formulas and stick with quality facial cleansers instead. I've set guidelines for how often you should wash your face, along with the best time of day for cleansing. But based on your skin's oil output, if there are days when you feel like your skin needs to be washed more frequently, follow your skin's lead! And if you want to wash your skin less often, that could be okay too. April 2022 carolynyterry.com | 17

layer your skincare like a pro! It's time to talk about one more secret to great skin: layering your skincare products correctly. Okay, okay—maybe it's not a secret. But if you've ever put on your favorite moisturizer or serum only to find that it just isn't working as well as it used to, you may have fallen victim to a common skincare-layering mistake: applying products out of order. The layering of your skincare products is important because each product has a diﬀerent consistency and function, which means it needs a specific amount of time to absorb into your skin before you can apply the next one.

for women of all ages who want radiant, beautiful, and healthy skin.

lady never reveals her age, but she does admit to knowing how to get the most out of life. Carolyn Terry Signature Skincare is for women of all ages who want radiant, beautiful, and healthy skin. Hi, I am Carolyn Terry. I'd like to take a moment to tell you how I came to launch my new signature skincare collection. I have been working on this product line for a while, and I am thrilled to announce that it is finally available. I have three and a half decades of clinical training in esthetics. In my treatment room, I've used tons of fantastic facial therapies from a wide variety of brands. So I think it's safe to say that I know what works and what doesn't when it comes to effective skincare products. As the years went by, one day, I began to imagine what it would be like to have the ability to handpick my own collection of innovative and effective products. From there, I contacted several cosmetic manufacturers and began the process of testing out a few items that now form the core of my skincare collection. And here we are! Many of my anti-aging treatments target the skin's structural framework. Helping it retain its strength and elasticity, along with everything from fine lines and wrinkles to acne, hyperpigmentation, and even sensitive skin.

Each formula contains complementary conditioning ingredients that provide immediate comfort, along with a long-term healthy, youthful glow. You deserve an experience of a skincare system that revitalizes and rewards you simultaneously. Using skincare should be an experience of more than just applying creams or lotions; it should be relaxing, soothing, and most importantly, transformative. My results driven array of skincare offerings will make all the difference when it comes to the health of your skin and your overall wellbeing. This core collection of my favorite skin therapies is just the beginning. I am constantly researching and exploring new ingredients and combinations, so stay tuned for new additions! And there you have it! I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into my journey to cultivate a signature collection of skincare treatments. If you want to put yourself on the path to better skin, I hope you'll give them a try. Connect with me today if you're ready to look and feel your best! I really enjoy helping women— of all ages, backgrounds, and skin types— accomplish their skincare goals. Visit my website at www.carolynterry.com to learn more about who I am and what I do.
