Common Skin Care Mistakes


Most of us do the best we can when it comes to skin care.  There is a lot of products to choice from out there! When using a combination of different brands and products, it can get confusing.  To help you avoid these common mistakes, we offer those we see the most and our solutions so you can avoid them in the future: 

Not establishing a good skincare routine.
The biggest mistake we see is not establishing a skincare routine at all.  Just washing your face when you shower may not be enough to support the needs of your skin.  Dermatologists, doctors, and mothers all agree that a good skin care regimen includes cleansing, exfoliating, toning, and moisturizing.  This especially becomes important for pre-teens and teens, those exposed to daily pollutants, or as we age. Establishing a quality skincare routine using non-toxic products like Jordan Essentials both morning and evening will support your skin in eliminating toxins, removing dead skin cells, staying hydrated, and looking good.  

Using just a few of the same products.
Your skin changes with the seasons, with hormonal fluctuations, with stress levels, and with environmental exposures.  At times, you may need to look at the skincare products you are using and adjust accordingly. Jordan Essentials products are formulated to be as versatile as possible to meet a wide range of needs.  And, for those times when your skin needs a little extra support, we’ve got you covered there too! Dry skin, oily skin, blemishes or acne, skin irritations, sunburn, windburn, chapped skin, puffy or irritated skin, you can customize your skincare routine based on your current needs. Talk to me, I will help you select the best options that your skin is asking for.

Moisturizing skin when it is dry.
Moisturizers tend to be most effective when the skin is still slightly damp, such as when you’ve just toweled off after a bath or shower.  Damp skin tends to absorb the moisture better and lock it in for a longer time. That’s not saying that you can’t use your moisturizer on dry skin!  You can still carry that JE Shea Body Butter, JE Hand & Body Lotion, or JE Magnesium Lotion in your purse or have it next to your bed! But for the most effective moisturizing power, apply to clean skin that is still slightly damp.

Exfoliating dry skin instead of moisturizing it.
It’s important to read your skin when it is dry to determine what it needs the most.  The tendency when we see dull or flaky skin is to reach for the JE Salt Scrub to smooth out the texture.  If your skin is dull or rough, then JE Salt Scrub is the best choice to apply first. If your skin has a lot of flaking, however, this is a sign your skin lacks hydration.  Using an exfoliant could cause inflammation and a disruption of the skin barrier. For flaking skin, nourish your skin with JE Helio Skin Superfood Lotion or JE Skin Relief Lotion to restore the proper balance.  Then when your skin has recovered, you can grab that JE Salt Scrub for smooth, healthy skin.

Layering products wrong.
There’s no particular harm in layering your products incorrectly, however to get the maximum benefit from the ingredients in each product, you want to layer your products from thinnest consistency to the thickest.  This allows for maximum absorption and efficiency. For example, when using Jordan Essentials Serums with your moisturizer, you would apply after cleansing, exfoliating and toning: Daily Moisturizer, Multi-Peptide Serum, Age-Defying Serum, Time Rewind Eye Gel
Or:  Multi-Peptide Serum, Age-Defying Serum, Time Rewind Eye Gel, Deep Daily Moisturizer
On the body, you might apply:  Hydrating Body Spritzer, Magnesium Lotion, Skin Relief Lotion
Or:  JE Salt Scrub, JE Hand & Body Lotion, JE Lotion Bar
When in doubt, just think thinnest to thickest and you’ll be maximizing your JE products for healthy, happy skin!

Lemon Essential Oil

It’s time to stop making lemonade when life hands you lemons! Why? Because lemons can do so much more than that! Pure, therapeutic-grade lemon essential oils to use aromatically or combined with other essential oils or bases can really light up your life! Lemon Essential Oil can be found in both concentrated Droppers, and in the convenient Lemon Essential Oil Spray, which is perfectly diluted for use as a body spray or room spray. Lemon Essential Oil is cold pressed from the peel of the citrus limon plant, which often grows as a shrub or tree. It’s takes about 50 lemons to create enough essential oil for each bottle of Essential Oil, making each drop very concentrated and aromatic. It’s important to remember to use whole lemons for lemonade or flavor your water, do not use Lemon Essential Oils in water or to drink, ever. Really. Lemon Essential Oil is well known to light up your day with uplifting qualities, and is often used to help support the immune system, ward o...
