FORT WORTH, TEXAS - After winter's harsh winds, cold temperatures and dry heat, it's time to revitalize your skin.
         "Just as new blooms unfurl each year, your skin can have the fresh glow of spring," says David Pollock, a founder of Medi-Cell Laboratories.  "Topical applications of vitamin C delivered to the skin's stratum basal layer skin can produce more youthful skin cells."
          Vitamin C is essential for healthy connective tissue in the skin and acts as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory to repair environmentally caused damage.  Pollock says vitamin C is especially effective when combined with an exfoliant that removes dead cells, which cause fine lines and wrinkles at the skin's surface.
          "Use vitamin C products that deliver a high level of results but which do not irritate the skin to get the radiance of spring,"  Pollock says.  He recommends a three-step program using Hydrox-C therapeutic skin care products, which combine three types of non-irritating vitamin C with a non-irritating, complex alpha hydroxy acid.  He says it's as easy as 1-2-3.
          1. Exfoliate.  Pollock recommends a gentle exfoliating cleanser such as Hydrox-C Daily Skin Preparation in the morning and at night to remove make-up, dead cells and other impurities.
          2.  Replenish.  Re-hydrate dry skin with a non-greasy moisturizer.  Pollock likes 12 Hour Moisturizer (Age Lift Moisturizer for mature skin) from Hydrox-C "because it is almost instantly absorbed without residue, making it ideal before applying make-up."  Both contain sunscreen.
          3.  Rejuvenate:  Augment your cleansing and moisturizing regime with an intensive vitamin and botanical rich treatment like Hydrox-C's Intensive Cell Therapy, which has 21 plant extracts, proteins and vitamins, to instantly generate new cell growth and visibly correct damaged skin.
          "Winter takes a toll on skin, so nourish it with treatments that care for your skin and restore it to a healthy glow," Pollock says.
