EltaMD PM  Therapy Facial Moisturizer has been an amazing addition to my skincare routine and has completely changed my skin, for the better! This face lotion is fantastic, I have never used a nighttime face cream that has changed my skin so drastically, and it seemed to change overnight! No, that is not a pun; the next day after using this face lotion my skin was so smooth and hydrated without feeling oily. Within the week the oil production in my face balanced out and cleared up. Besides just seeing a positive change in the oil production of my skin, my skin also appeared brighter and more even toned. I wish taken before and after pictures because the effects are crazy. My skin also seemed to be more plump and the elasticity was noticeably improved. The elltaMD PM Therapy uses ceramindes to strengthen the barrier of the skin to help lock moisture in, simultaneously the B3 vitamins and antioxidants in this formula even skin tone, and finally the rice protein peptides speed up cell growth and collagen production which is why skin elasticity improves with use of this product. EltaMD also has an AM Therapy face lotion, that does all the same wonderful things, but in a formula that is better suited for the day time. I definitely recommend getting both and using them together because they are specially formulated from the same line to work together, the results will be nothing short of amazing! The entire eltaMD Skincare Line can be found here. It is skin’s new best friend in a convenient bottle that combines all the best of skin care, anti-aging, free radical fighting, collagen boosting and moisturizing; I would recommend anyone who wants to see positive changes in their skin to try this product.

I’d love to think that with a long, peaceful 8-9 hours of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ type of sleep I would wake up with flowy gorgeous hair, the sun shining, birds chirping and a smile on my face…yeah…not ever gonna happen! Like most people, I stay up later than I originally planned…texting, answering emails and even pinning on one of my favorite apps for a couple hours before falling asleep by midnight knowing it’s going to be brutal waking up early…or if a kid wakes up in the middle of the night...let’s just say I’m a hot mess the entire next day! Once it’s time to wake up to get the kids ready for school I’m already in dire need of a nap. Having a good night’s sleep is so very important to our bodies, our brain function and even our skin. So getting a good night’s rest is actually working on making you even more beautiful! As you are getting your beauty sleep, your body is working hard allowing cells to repair themselves, regeneration of collagen, skin’s tightness as well as working on your body’s anti-aging. Sleep reduces your body’s stress hormone, Cortisol which causes discoloration and thinning of the skin. Melatonin is also released fighting your fine lines and age spots, and fights decreased hormone levels. But as our body is working hard, we are also losing moisture as we sleep which causes dehydrated skin…something that I make sure I’m always without! A WONDERFULLY EFFECTIVE NIGHT TIME FACIAL MOISTURIZER FROM EltaMD Besides the bottle water that I keep on my nightstand, every night there is also another product I use to avoid dehydrated skin and that is a really good night time facial moisturizer. I’ve been a fan of the eltaMD brand for quite some time now, especially since their products are made for everyone’s various skin types; they are fragrance free and feel wonderful on your skin. One of my favorite EltaMD products is their EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer that I apply every night before going to bed. This is one of my ultimate favorite night time moisturizers because once applied it absorbs nicely into your skin as you lay down not leaving a thick residue on your face. I don’t know about you but I sleep better if my face isn’t slimy and lotion isn’t getting all over everything (I think my husband can agree as he won’t even touch me if I have a ‘slimy’ face!). The PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer is great for everyone’s skin type and is even safe for those with sensitive skin as it is oil free, fragrance free and noncomedogenic. This PM Therapy has so many benefits that help repair and restore the elasticity and vitality of your skin and helps greatly in the anti-aging process. The added ceramides strengthen your skin’s natural moisture barrier, the antioxidants improve your skin’s color, tone and its thioctic acid diminishes the signs of aging. EltaMD’s PM Therapy contains niacinamide (vitamin B3) which is an anti-inflammatory that reduces redness but also restores the suppleness of your skin. The rice protein peptides stimulate the cell growth and collagen formation while the hyaluronic acid retains moistures which improves the feel of your skin. OVERALL THOUGHTS ON elta md PM THERAPY FACIAL MOISTURIZER The elta md PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer was a great find and was very simple to use. After cleansing my face with a gentle cleanser and patting dry, I applied a pearl size dot to my cheeks, chin and forehead and massaged gently on my face and neck. My skin absorbed it nicely so I was able to relax in bed and move around without leaving any residue all over my pillows or even on my husband! When I woke up, my skin felt so absolutely wonderful! It was very soft to the touch and I definitely noticed a difference after the first night of using the PM Therapy that my skin seemed much more moisturized and smooth. The longer I have used this product I am still very impressed with its ability to keep my skin hydrated throughout the night and just how nice it leaves it. I am able to wake up with a more even tone with minimal redness and most importantly my skin looks much more awake, rested and vibrant which is perfect for me and my horrible sleep routine! Even if I don’t get the recommended eight hours of beauty sleep at least my skin will look great as if I had! This is a wonderful product and it has been highly recommended to all my family, friends and clients. You will surely throw out your old night time cream once you try elta md PM Therapy…you’re gonna be hooked!   Blog Written by askderm's Guest Esthetician  Stephanie Ivonne is a New Jersey licensed Esthetician.  Her fun-loving, outgoing personality will shine through her product selections & reviews to help you discover the hottest skincare and beauty products.

  EltaMD™ is founded on the belief that the responsible and innovative application of medical expertise and science will change the way physician-dispensed skin care products treat people. The EltaMD sun care line includes a complete spectrum of sun care products, one for every skin type and unique need. EltaMD skin care products focus on providing safe, effective skin care that includes deep, gentle cleansing and intense moisturization for all skin types, including the most sensitive skin.   About EltaMD's Sun Care Products:   What you should know about the sun... It causes 90% of all skin cancers: Overcast days are not much safer than those that are sunny, as 70-80% of the sun's ultraviolet rays can get through the clouds. The sun is about 80% stronger when reflected off sand and snow. The sun's rays increase in intensity about 4% for every 1,000-foot rise in altitude. It's better to play or engage in sports before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. If that's not possible, try to avoid being out at high noon. The sun weakens the immune system, reducing your defense against infection. In general, kids can get all the vitamin D they need for strong bones from fortified milk, salmon, vitamin supplements and/or brief, casual sun exposure. About EltaMD's Skin Care Products: An all over moisturizer applied daily will help keep skin moist, but you might consider a rich, emollient moisturizer like EltaMD Moisturizer in the winter months to help combat the affects of cold, dry air. EltaMD Moisturizer seals moisture into the surface (preventing the moisture from evaporating). It is safe for even the most sensitive skin, fragrance-free, preservative-free and noncomedogenic. The best time to moisturize is after a shower and before bed, because studies show that more transepidermal water loss occurs overnight than during the day. If you like your morning shower but your skin is dry, then moisturize again before you hit the sheets.      There are three key steps to healthy skin: CLEANSE with a pH balanced cleanser that doesn't contain ingredients like AHAs or Glycolic acids that may irritate sensitive skin. MOISTURIZE with an oil-based moisturizer or lotion with a petrolatum base for maximum moisture retention and no sensitivity issues. PROTECT with a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects the skin from exposure to both UVA and UVB rays.   Current EltaMD Promotions:   Take advantage of our current 20% off coupon code for all EltaMD's products: ELTAMD20 Also, for EVERY order from AskDerm.com you can receive a Free Sample: Elta MD - Five Sample Pack!
