I was just wondering why copper peptides would not be involved with the regime. A good hydroxy acid to exfoliate followed by a copper peptide. It’s never too early to repair your collagen, is it?

Thank you- that sounds far more manageable! Anna

Anna, if I remember correctly my esthetician recommends once a week for four weeks and once a month thereafter.

Marta, did you have an intensive course of microcurrent facials before having them once a month? Salons in London all advise having ten treatments over 3/4 weeks to start with, which of course is very profitable advice for them. I wondered if your aesthetician said the same to you, or whether one can happily avoid such an expense? Thank you so much! Anna

Marta, is the Clarisonic for exfoliating or just for cleansing? I have sensitive skin and I’m concerned about over-exfoliating. Do you use it daily?

For your readers: I read a review on Amazon.com that said that Clarisonic claims Amazon is not an authorized retailer so you can’t register your product with them and they won’t honor free brush offers.

Thanks!
Lauren

Well Asya, at least your humid climate won’t dry out your skin. How about checking out Babaria. A Spanish brand that is readily available in Europe. The eye cream is pretty good: http://www.truthinaging.com/2009/01/babaria-rosa-mosqueta-eye-serum-a-natural-muscle-freezer.html.
But you have check each product carefully – some are good, others are full of chemicals.

Anything in the European Union is fine. I found this Swedish online shop that carries some Australian brands (as Stem) – http://www.eleven.se
In the UK Bath & Unwind has some good choices…
So it’s not only the toner from Dermaxine that has left a good impression with you? Will be looking forward for your review

dmpond25,

For oily skin, I would go with Juice, IMAGE Skincare’s Ageless or, my new discovery: Dermaxime’s Problem Skin range (there’ll be a post on this tomorrow)

Asya,
I would go for MD Skincare if that’s available. Another option would be Dermaxime: http://www.dermaxime.com/products.htm#Rejuvenating%20Eye%20Cream. The cost in US$ includes shipping to anywhere in the world.

How to on Clarisonic coming up.
