1. What does Youthful Essence™ do for me?

Youthful Essence™ is a personal microdermabrasion skin renewal system that helps reduce the visible signs of aging to reveal fresh, glowing skin. Youthful Essence™ polishes the top layer of dead skin cells with mineral crystals and its use should be restricted to no more than 2 - 4 times a week in the comfort and convenience of your own home. One of the main benefits of Youthful Essence™ is that it helps to exfoliate the skin, refine the appearance of pores, and keep the skin radiant.

2. How do I use it properly?

You can use Youthful Essence™ on your face and neck. Plus, with the new Waterproof Tool – you can also take your microdermabrasion system into the shower with you and use it on the harder to reach areas of your elbows, feet, knees and chest.

Follow the easy instructions carefully each time you use your Youthful Essence™ Personal Microdermabrasion System. These instructions may also be found in the brochure included with your initial shipment of the product.

3. How do I apply the Youthful Essence™ Vitamin Enriched Resurfacing Cream and how much should I use?
Simply dip a clean Sponge Applicator into the Youthful Essence™ Vitamin Enriched Resurfacing Cream and apply ¼ inch of the Cream over the Applicator. Dot the Cream on the areas to be worked and begin the treatment. When treating larger areas on the body, more Cream will need to be used. Never dip an unclean Applicator in the Cream.

4. How much pressure should I use when using the Youthful Essence™ Resurfacing Tool?
Use light to medium pressure. If you experience redness or irritation, you are using too much pressure.

5. When should I use Youthful Essence™?
Personal preference dictates whether you use it morning or at night. The new waterproof tool will now enable you to use the system in the shower. Showering and the flow of water while using Youthful Essence will help to remove any crystal residue left on the skin after the treatment. Always use on clean skin.

6. How often should I replace and/or clean the Sponge Applicator?

You should replace the sponge applicators after 12-24 uses, depending on the types of treatments performed. Body treatments will cause more wear than face and neck treatments.

You should clean your sponge applicator after each use. For best results use an anti-bacterial cleanser and hot water. Clean and rinse thoroughly and squeeze out the excess water. Air dry. Allow the Sponge Applicator to dry completely before using again.

7. How do I use the Massage Attachment?
Simply snap on the Massage attachment to the Resurfacing Tool. Do not use with resurfacing cream, and apply light to medium pressure on the area you are massaging.

8. How do I use the Brush Attachment?
Attach the Spa Cleansing Brush to the Resurfacing Tool. Apply Youthful Essence Cleansing Facial Wash (or any mild cleanser) directly to your skin. Using light to medium pressure, massage into the skin in a circular motion. Continue for 2-5 minutes per body area. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry.

9. Is Youthful Essence™ non-comedogenic?
Yes.

10. Is Youthful Essence™ hypoallergenic?
No, Youthful Essence™ is not hypoallergenic. If you suffer from rosacea, pustule acne and other sensitive skin disorders, consult your health care practitioner before using Youthful Essence.

11. Is the Youthful Essence™ Resurfacing Cream oil-free?
No, it contains oil from natural sources - safflower oil and wheat germ oil.

12. How old should you be before using the product?
The product is recommended for adults. Users should be at least 12 years of age.

13. Is it normal to have a residue on my skin after using Youthful Essence™?

Yes, the crystals are left behind after the moisturisers in our Vitamin-Enriched Resurfacing Cream have been worked into the skin. They may be completely removed by either applying Youthful Essence™ Facial Mist & Toner (or any alcohol free toner) or by splashing generous amounts of water on your face and patting it dry until they are gone. The waterproof tool also enables you to take the tool into the shower with you, and you’ll easily be able to rinse off all remaining crystals and residue.

14. What if I get the crystals in my eyes or mouth?
You will not be harmed. Flush/rinse the area thoroughly with water until the crystal is removed. If you suffer irritation after rinsing the area thoroughly with water, consult your health care professional.

15. The exfoliation seems too aggressive or uncomfortable on my skin.
Exfoliation is helpful for healthy looking, balanced skin. Some skin types require less exfoliation than others. Spend only 1-2 minutes on the area being treated and use less pressure when massaging your skin with the Resurfacing Tool.

16. Can you use other types of exfoliation creams with this tool?
This would not be recommended. For example, customers should not use products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids or Retinol while using Youthful Essence™ because they too are exfoliants. With any products that exfoliate, you want to be careful how often and when you use them. Always conduct a patch test on your hand or wrist prior to using any of the products. This will allow you to test both the other exfoliating product and Youthful Essence™ in a small area to ascertain your skin's sensitivity. You can then decide if you want to use them in conjunction with each other. Youthful Essence™ includes specific directions for use, as well as precautionary statements. We recommend you read all of the material provided on Youthful Essence™ and on any other exfoliating product. If you have additional concerns or questions, we also recommend that you speak with your health care practitioner.

17. Should a Youthful Essence™ treatment be painful?
Never. When using Youthful Essence™ to exfoliate the skin, a tingling or invigorating sensation can be left. However, this sensation should never feel painful or unpleasant. If you are not experiencing a pleasant sensation, use less pressure when using the Youthful Essence™ Resurfacing Tool. If pain occurs, stop use.

18. Can you add water on the sponge applicator with the resurfacing cream?
This is not recommended as the Resurfacing Cream has been formulated already with moisturisers.

19. What other Youthful Essence™ products are available besides the Resurfacing Cream?
Besides our Youthful Essence™ Vitamin Enriched Resurfacing Cream, we also offer Youthful Essence™ Cleansing Facial Wash, Facial Mist & Toner, as well as Youthful Essence™ Daily Protection Moisturiser.
