How do I know which product line is best for me?
The different skincare lines are meant to be interchangeable depending on your specific
skincare needs. They are all safe to mix and match, but of course, it is always wise to test a
small, unnoticeable area first before applying anything to the entire face.
We encourage you to complete the online skincare analysis found on
www.motivescosmetics.com under “Learn”, which will help guide you towards the products that

What are the steps to follow in a proper skincare regimen?
1. Cleanse – twice daily (AM & PM)
o Cleansing removes dirt, oil, makeup, and pollutants from the skin without stripping
the skin of moisture. Cleansers also gently exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal
younger-looking skin.
2. Tone – twice daily (AM & PM)
o Toning restores the skin’s natural pH Balance and removes any residue from the
cleanser. It also preps the skin to absorb treatments and moisturizers.
3. Treat – twice daily (AM & PM)
o Treatments include serums and spot treatments to target specific needs of the
skin. These items give your anti-aging regimen a boost as they work to improve
the signs of aging and address other skincare needs.
4. Moisturize – twice daily (AM & PM) and as needed
o Moisturizers soften, protect, brighten and hydrate the skin.
5. Masque – two to four times per week
o Masques are specialty treatments that repair and renew the skin, for a more
luminous and radiant appearance.
What should I use if I am looking for a basic skincare line? Skintelligence is a simple, yet effective, line that is great for any skin type. Formulated with
botanicals and natural extracts to be gentle and mild, Skintelligence utilizes alpha-hydroxy acids
to promote healthy-looking skin.
Lumière de Vie is also an effective line for any skin type. Formulated with ingredients derived
from the earth and sea, this gentle line promotes radiant-looking skin and includes anti-aging
treatments for targeted skin concerns.
What are the signs of aging?
Many people believe wrinkles signify aging, which is only part of the answer. Factors that make
skin look older are not just fine lines and wrinkles but also skin discoloration, sun damage,
hyper-pigmentation and dehydration. On top of a healthy lifestyle of staying out of the sun,
exercising and keeping yourself hydrated, specialized cleansers, toners, treatments and
moisturizers that we provide cannot only help to prevent further signs of aging but also improve
the aging signs you already have.
What is your most effective anti-aging product?
The best defense against the signs of aging is to follow the four steps of any good skincare
regimen: Cleanse, Tone, Treat and Moisturize. Sunscreen is a huge factor in preventing more
damage to the skin. The entire Cellular Laboratories line is targeted for anti-aging. Adding the
Timeless Prescription Advanced Hydroxy Face Peel and Neutralizer (11136), as well as our top
selling VitaShield OPC-3 Triple Serum (1252), will totally transform your skin.
For individuals with dark spots and hyperpigmentation incorporating Lumière de Vie Serum
Concentrate (12204) and Super Crème (12214) will brighten the skin for a more even-toned complexion. For redness, use Lumière de Vie Illuminating Fading Fluid (12203) to calm and
soothe skin without irritation.
How do I treat acne?
Timeless Prescription has excellent products for the treatment of acne. The 3-Step Acne Control
System (11137) is oil-free and contains Benzoyl Peroxide.
Benzoyl peroxide works directly to reduce bacteria production on the skin and keep the pores
clear, thus reducing the accumulation of impactions or “blackheads” on the skin’s surface. For
active “whiteheads” we recommend dabbing Timeless Prescription Anti-Blemish Lotion (1269)
over the affected spot. Calamine, Salicylic Acid and Camphor work to dry out the pus and
inflammation around the infected hair follicle.
It is important that people with severe acne take precaution to look at internal causes as well as
external ones. Taking Timeless Prescription Oxygen Extreme (6101) will help protect your body
with an antioxidant boost. Also, drinking water and staying hydrated is key to flushing toxins out
of the body. Make sure you do not touch the face with your hands; this spreads bacteria and oils, causing more breakouts.
How do I exfoliate the skin?
Exfoliation is important for anti-aging purposes as well as for those struggling with congested
skin.
For mild exfoliators, we recommend the following products: Timeless Prescription Facial Exfoliating Cleanser with Enzymes and MDI Complex (11120) is a
soap-free cleanser has enzymes that gently slough away surface skin cells. Cellular
Laboratories De-Aging Facial Cleaner (11203) is also an extremely mild exfoliant. It contains
Bacillus Ferment, an enzymatic exfoliation that gently eliminates the dead skin cells to reveal
younger, healthier skin. Lumière de Vie Toner (12208) is developed with lactic acid to gently
exfoliate, ridding the skin of impurities and sebum. Fixx Microdermabrasion Complex gently
exfoliates the skin without causing the skin irritation that is common to other methods of
exfoliation. Soothing extracts like aloe vera moisturize skin while buffing away dead skin and
clogged pores.
For more aggressive exfoliation, the following treatments and peels are recommended:
Timeless Prescription Advanced Hydroxy Face Peel and Neutralizer (6506) contain alphahydroxy
acids that break down congestion and smooth away fine lines, revealing fresh glowing
skin. For a deep-exfoliating mask, Lumière de Vie Volcanic Exfoliating Mask (12202) utilizes
alpha-hydroxy acids and oil-absorbing clays to create a balanced detoxifying/exfoliating action
that leaves skin glowing.
For an exfoliating lotion, Skintelligence Alpha 24 Triple Revitalizing Complex (1275) has a
combination of alpha-hydroxy acids to gently exfoliate for a more balanced, healthier-looking
complexion.
Exfoliate your skin based on your individual needs, some people need it every day, others can
exfoliate once or twice weekly.
What is the best way to get rid of stretch marks?
Pentaxyl (11150) is a revolutionary lotion that can be used on the body or face for deep wrinkles or stretch marks. Matrixyl® Complex promotes normal collagen production to even out the skin
from within. The skin will appear more plump and uniform in texture and coloration. We
recommend using twice daily on the affected area.
How do you reduce under-eye circles and puffiness?
VitaShield Intensive Eye Firming Treatment (1255) contains a powerful blend of vitamins and
coenzyme Q10 to reverse damage to the sensitive skin around the eye. When treating this area
be sure to be extremely gentle. Use your ring finger to gently tap the product into the orbital
bone.
Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Eye Crème (11194) also plumps and brightens the delicate skin
around the eye. We recommend using the Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Eye Crème as your
under-eye moisturizer every day and VitaShield Intensive Eye Firming Treatment as a specialty
treatment 3-5 times a week.
Lumière de Vie Eye Balm (12200) is ideal for an intensive treatment that helps soothe and
reduce the appearance of puffiness, while deeply conditioning. It includes a metal-tipped
applicator which provides a cooling effect on the delicate area under the eye, further reducing a
puffy appearance.
Is there a training I can attend to learn more about the skincare brands?
Absolutely! We recommend you attend an MA Skin and Personal Care training with a Motives Certified Trainer to learn more about the marketplace, differentiating our brands, conducting a
consultation, hosting an All About Skin event, and much more.
