You spend a lot of your hard-earned money on skincare products in an effort to keep your skin healthy and younger looking. The last thing we want is to feel like they aren’t living up to their claims. Before you kick these creams, serums and magic potions to the curb, make sure you are using them properly.

These 3 simple tricks will help your products do what they said they would do!

1. Exfoliate
We can’t stress this enough. If there is a layer of dead skin cells sitting on the surface of your skin, the active ingredients in your products aren’t going to be able to get where they need to be in order to do their job. NuPeel Enzyme Peel is just what your skin needs! It is gentle enough to use daily but tough enough to remove old cells.

2. Store Products Properly
Some products contain botanicals and vitamins that require special storage to keep their efficacy levels top notch. Vitamin C products cannot be exposed to sunlight or they will not work. This is one reason Dr. Beckman chose instead to use pycnogenol in his OPC Reparative Serum. No special storage required and 20 times more effective than Vitamin C.

3. Modify, But Don’t Scrap
When you feel your skincare routine isn’t giving you the results you want, you sometime want to scrap the entire routine and start fresh. This is not necessary. Start off by changing one, maybe two products, to see if that helps. Just remember to give it time. You should start seeing changes after about four weeks.

We hope these simple tips help make your skin look even better!
