Fig. 3 How to use it
EveningSPF 30+ every morning
- Use as part of your evening skincare regimen up to three times per week.
- After cleansing, gently apply to skin in small, circular motions to the face, neck, and décolleté. Can be applied all over the face, avoiding the lip and eye areas.
- Do not rinse after application.
- Wait a few minutes after application before applying other skincare.
- Protect with sunbetter sunscreen during the day for additional skincare benefits.
- Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards. Caution: This product contains retinoid in a topical form. If you are pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant, consult a physician before use. If using more than one exfoliating product, irritation may occur.
I suggest the pads to clients whose skin looks dull and uneven and who want a little more exfoliation at home between facials. I start them at one or two evenings a week, never more than three, and remind them their skin is more sensitive to the sun while they use it, so sunscreen is not optional. If they feel any stinging, we space the pads further apart.
