After a facial or treatment, your skin is sure to be glowing, plump and radiant. But it’s just as important to nourish and treat your skin at home as it is to receive regular facials from a professional. And while you think you may be giving your skin what it needs with department store or drugstore products, the truth is that you should be using professional grade products to prolong the benefits of your facial and maintain all of the great results your treatments give you.

Your skin is divided into three layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutis (hypodermis). To understand how skincare, especially anti-aging skincare, works, it is important to know just how your skin works to repair itself and protect you from the world around you.

What your body considers a natural reaction can actually be a bad thing for your skin. Inflammation occurs when your body encounters something that activates its defenses. Bacteria, viruses and injuries can all activate an inflammatory reaction in the body, which brings white blood cells to an area of the body to start the healing process. But, sometimes, the process lingers and can lead to low levels of chronic inflammation, affecting your blood vessels, joints and yes, even your skin.
