You take care of everybody else but yourself. You cook the food yet you’re the last to eat. Your days are long and sometimes arduous. Rewards are rare. This is the life of many women today. So, it is no surprise that after years neglecting ourselves we have horrible skin to show for it.

Let’s face it. Even naturally beautiful women have beauty rituals and more importantly beauty secrets. They may wake up cute but it’s their rituals that keep them beautiful.

Skin problem #1: Acne
Top Editor Pick: Dermalogica Acne Prone kit, especially the medicated acne gel

Acne suffers need products that get under the skin and remove bacteria. It’s very important to handle the skin delicately. Make sure you pat your face dry and not rub it. Use a mild soap, like Dermalogica’s Anti Bac Skin Wash. Followed by the medicated acne gel. The reviewer noticed the skin around the acne lift and peel away. Remember to never use your fingers to pick at acne and the same goes for when you see your skin peeling. It’s better to wash it gently away. This product is great for acne suffers of all ages. Dermalogica

Skin problem #2: Aging Skin
Top Editor Pick: Murad Anti-aging Acne crème

With firmness I could feel right away, Murad’s Anti-Aging Crème is the perfect treatment for lackluster skin. This product contains a patented skin repair system that encourages collagen synthesis to increase the appearance of younger looking skin. Dr. Murad


Skin problem #3: Dry Skin
Top Editor Pick: Dermalogica Dry Skin kit

This product is great for people with dry, itchy patches of skin. Dry skin sufferes need gentle products that hydrate. This dry skin kit keeps it simple, yet effective. It contains an effective mild cleanser. If you follow the directions, you can feel the difference after two complete applications. Dermalogica


Skin problem #4: Hyper pigmentation on face and underarms
Top Editor Pick: DDF Hyper pigmentation kit

As if you didn’t have enough to deal with while pregnant, the mask of pregnancy can make you feel ugly, plagued, and ashamed. Doctor’s contend that it goes away several months after birth. I’m a mother of four who knows that some of it stays behind. Too many of us shy away from tank tops due to dark underarms. Or we cover our beautiful skin with heavy make-up. The key that makes this kit works is that it just doesn’t treat the affected area. It contains a cleanser and a protecting cream as well. DDF Skin Care


Skin problem #5 Aging prevention - Sagging skin
Top Editor Pick: Dermalogica Power Rich

This product was reviewed by a 32-year old woman with signs of premature aging. The only areas on her face with true firmness were on her forehead and chin. The skin felt tighter after four weeks of continued use. When pinched, the skin bounced right back. Dermalogica


Skin Problem #6 Dull skin
Top Editor Pick: Dr. Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

Perk up dull skin and dissolve cell build-up with this cleanser. It contains Jojoba beads that surprisingly work to retexturize the skin. Dr. Murad


Skin problem #7 Remove make-up to prevent breakouts
Top Editor Pick: Dr. Murad Moisture Rich Cleanser

Originally formulated for dry/sensitive skin, I found it worked great at removing foundation and pressed powder A quarter-sized amount was all it took. This cleanser contains the amino acid, Proline which is a building block for healthy skin. Dr. Murad
