My lifestyle of biweekly Bikram hot yoga sessions and weekend boating trips in the hot, Florida sun can wreak havoc on my skin. Delivering active ingredients to prevent further skin aging and reverse old sun damage, while trying to keep my skin hydrated and barrier intact is a bit of a challenge. I try to drink lots of water with electrolytes and nourish my skin with humectants and ceramides on a daily basis. My skin care routine takes a bit of dedication and discipline, but my husband says I have aged like fine wine!

My lifestyle of biweekly Bikram hot yoga sessions and weekend boating trips in the hot, Florida sun can wreak havoc on my skin. Delivering active ingredients to prevent further skin aging and reverse old sun damage, while trying to keep my skin hydrated and barrier intact is a bit of a challenge. I try to drink lots of water with electrolytes and nourish my skin with humectants and ceramides on a daily basis. My skin care routine takes a bit of dedication and discipline, but my husband says I have aged like fine wine!
- I cleanse my skin with the Skin Perfect Enzyme Sal Cleanser (papaya enzymes with 1% salicylic acid) to help break up dead skin and oil for a hopefully sleepful night.
- Next, I swipe Skin Perfect Vitamin C Pads all over my skin. This deposits 10% vitamin C to help protect my skin from free radicals and UV rays. They leave my skin refreshed and glowing.
- Now that my skin has its vitamin C armor, I apply Skin Perfect’s HydraBoost Serum that has niacinamide and hyaluronic acid with zinc PCA and copper PCA. Zinc PCA is has anti-inflammatory benefits and prevents my skin from getting red in heat, and niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that reduces water loss and increases my skin’s hydration in the top epidermis, which is ideal for my “hot” lifestyle.
- Next, I do 10 minutes of my NanoSkin device with Skin Perfect’s Nano Lotion to drive hydration (aloe, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, etc.) deeper into my skin, increase microcirculation and tighten the facial muscles. This step makes anything applied after that apply effortlessly and keeps my skin smooth and glowing throughout the day. In fact, when I am diligent about this step, my clients always notice and compliment my glowing skin.
- Finally, I apply Colore Me Perfect’s Perfect Canvas with an SPF of 50 and a star ingredient of zinc oxide to prepare my skin for any and all sun exposure. Now, I am ready to apply my mineral makeup or just head directly to hot yoga or a boat trip ready to sweat!
