Problem skin? Your skin's natural layer of protection
may not be working
Let's face it; you would
like to have better skin. You're not alone.
More than 85% of Canadians have problem prone
skin ranging from red, irritated, dry, itchy,
flaky skin, to more sensitive skin disorders
such as acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis
and rosacea. Keeping your skin clean, moisturized
and healthy looking is a big concern.
Many skin problems are caused by damage to the
moisture skin barrier - the top layer of skin
that keeps moisture in, and chemicals, dirt
and bacteria out. When that natural barrier
is disturbed, precious water can escape and
dirt, bacteria and cosmetics can enter and irritate
sensitive skin. When water escapes, your skin
feels dry, tight and rough. If you have compromised
skin, then you have a more delicate barrier
than others.
Spectro's
unique deep cleansing helps protect your skin's
natural moisture barrier.
We can help. Spectro®
skin cleansers are designed to be effective,
yet gentle and less irritating to compromised
and problem prone skin. The difference is that
Spectro® cleansers provide deep cleansing
- something not too many other gentle cleansers
can do - while helping to protect and restore
the delicate balance of your skin.
Is
your facial cleanser doing more harm than good?
Many facial cleansers are not gentle on the
skin's protective moisture barrier. Once disrupted,
it can take up to 8 hours for your skin to restore
the damaged moisture barrier. For people with
already compromised skin, that's 8 hours of
dirt and bacteria attacking your already sensitive
skin, and 8 hours of partial moisture loss.
Here's how regular cleansers work. Most skin
cleansers are made up of ingredients that clean
your skin called surfactants.The most common
surfactants used in bar soaps and liquid cleansers
are sodium-based which clean by disrupting the
skin's natural moisture barrier.
Many companies add moisturizers to their bar
soaps and liquid cleansers to combat the drying
effect of sodium-based surfactants however,
the damage may have already been done. Your
skin may feel softer but it's still losing moisture
- for up to 8 hours - until your skin's protective
barrier is restored.
The Science
of Spectro®
Spectro® cleansers
are different. They do not contain sodium-based
ingredients. Instead, they use a special silicone
class of surfactants that don't clog pores and
are among the least irritating of all surfactants.
Spectro® cleansers penetrate the pores and
gently surround and lift bacteria, dirt, excess
oil and make-up away from the skin for easy removal
by wiping or rinsing.
Spectro® cleansers contain a blend of moisturizers
that help restore water to the skin and stop more
water from being lost. They also help revitalize
the damaged protective barrier and make your skin
feel soft and satiny smooth.
What is not in Spectro® is also important
Spectro® cleansers
don't contain foaming ingredients that are harsh
on your skin. They also don't contain dyes or
other irritating ingredients.
The
ideal gentle skin cleanser
Spectro® cleansers
are ideal for the whole family.
The Spectro® family of skin cleansers provide
gentle yet effective cleaning for all skin conditions.
Spectro® cleansers are ideal for sensitive
and problem prone skin. In addition, they are
also suitable for the delicate skin of babies
and for all members of the family.
Saving
face with Spectro® cleansers
It is important to use Spectro cleansers as
directed to get the best results.
When
to use Spectro®...
Use everyday in the morning and at night. In the
morning to remove dead skin and bacteria, and
in the evening to remove dirt, oil and makeup
providing hydration to skin.
Use
Spectro® for 30 seconds...
Apply Spectro® cleansers on wet or dry skin.
It is important to gently rub in a circular motion
for 30 seconds to maximize the removal of dead
skin cells, oil, dirt, makeup and bacteria.Then
rinse away Spectro with warm (not hot) water or
wipe it off with a tissue. Use Spectro™ exclusively...
Do not use any other cleansers while using Spectro®,
like soap for example, as they may decrease the
effectiveness of Spectro cleansers. You need to
use Spectro cleansers for 2-3 weeks to see if
Spectro cleansers will help improve the texture
and tone of your skin, giving you healthy looking
skin you can see and feel. Discontinue use if
redness or irritation occurs.
Use Spectro® before applying topical medications...
Before using a topical prescription or non-prescription
product, like an acne lotion, it is important
to prepare your skin to get the best results.
If your skin barrier is disrupted, topical medications
can cause irritation and may work less effectively.
