I thought I’d take the opportunity 
to share the answer to a question I 
was asked. The question was, what 
are the five products that 
everybody needs in their skin 
program? Being a beauty therapist 
of 25 years, it’s a little bit hard to 
pick just five products, so I’ve 
racked my brain and I think that 
I’ve come up with the top five that 
absolutely everybody needs.
The first product that everybody needs is what we call hydration prep, commonly 
known as a toning lotion but unlike the old fashioned lotions, where they were more 
astringent, these ones are very much products that really help saturate the skin with 
lots of moisture. It starts actually lifting the water level up in the skin, so therefore 
when you put a serum or moisturiser on after, it actually increases the penetration 
of the treatment products so it saves you money. My favourite is the Excel 02 toner 
which is one of our best selling products and an absolute essential for all skins
My next go-to would be the eye cleanser. My favourite is called Options Eye Makeup 
Remover which is not the best name because it’s actually a treatment eye cleanser. 
It’s high in hyaluronic acid which is a moisture binding ingredient, it draws the 
moisture to the skin and instantly starts plumping it so any little fine dehydration 
lines will start to become less visible. To use, you simply soak a cotton round and 
hold over the eys for 10-30 seconds to break down any eye make up, and then wipe 
in a downward movement. To use it as an at home treatment, soak two cotton 
rounds, pop it over the eyes, lay down for 10 or 15 minutes and give the eyes a real 
treatment. So that would be an essential as it saves you money in your eye cream as 
well. You’ll get better penetration from your eye cream because it’ll work its way 
into the skin instead of being quickly absorbed.
A lot of you that know me, know this is one of my favorites. The Hydraforce Serum is in our 
Hydracure range. It’s all about saturating the skin with moisture molecules. It has 100% 
hyaluronic acid and the beauty of it is it’s in three molecular weights. So you are actually adding 
water, when you think of three molecular weights think of them like magnets or sinkers. What 
happens is the smaller one is a really heavy sinker and it goes right down into the deeper layers 
and instantly starts to swell between our structural layers so this gives us a great plumping effect 
and perfect for those skins that are worried about aging. Medium molecular weight would be a 
sinker that’s not quite as heavy as the first one I explained. But basically what it’s doing is it’s 
penetrating to the point where it’s sitting about middle of the skin. So medium molecular weight 
starts to fill up all our water reservoirs with lots of water. So it’s like we have big grapes 
throughout the skin. As we get dehydrated, they turn into sultanas or they start emptying out, so 
we need to swell those back up with water. This gives the skin better microbiome health. So 
youre good and bad bacteria is controlled by medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid. And then 
the last one is what we call high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. This is the most common in 
the market. 95% of skin care products that contain hyaluronic acid have high molecular weight, 
it’s certainly great to have that but it’s fantastic to have the other two as well. It works directly 
on the epidermis, which is the surface layer of the skin, it will stop water evaporation. So it acts 
like a spa cover, if we leave it without a cover it will lose water where if we put the cover on our 
water level will stay the same. So it acts as a barrier and helps to lock all that moisture level in 
and stops things like sensitivity, irritation and will also help with breakouts and healing of the 
skin. So the Hydraforce Serum it’s the perfect step as a pre serum, and anybody can use it. Even 
if you’re using another serum at home, it will help increase the benefits by adding water 
underneath that serum.
Another top essential especially during the cooler months when we need 
essential fatty acids is the Nourishment Elixir. This product is from the 
timexpert rides range and contains five different essential fatty acids, it is 
what we call a dry oil so it doesn’t feel heavy or thick on the skin. And this is 
used on top of a serum or you can mix it in with a moisturizer (some people 
choose just to add a little bit to the hands and put it onto the skin before 
they put their foundation on if you finding that your foundation is sinking 
into the skin) So if you’ve got quite an oil dry skin type which generally 
affects more your ladies that are age 30 plus your oil level starts to deplete 
after this age.
Last but not least would definitely be our CC cream in the Excel 02 range. 
This is what we call a treatment foundation. It gives you great coverage 
without actually making you look older.mOr if you have open pores or a few 
little breakouts it won’t tend to emphasize those so best used on a freshly 
moisturised skin. It’s high in hyaluronic acid which is you’re hydrating 
ingredient and also licorice, it helps to reduce any inflammation and it 
contains an SPF 30. It also adjusts to six different color spectrums so it is 
guaranteed to nail almost every single skin color. I haven’t met one person 
that can’t use it. So I highly recommend the CC cream as foundations and 
powders are one of our worst enemies in the skincare world.

products and if you do have any questions don’t hesitate to call us here at the
