Details

Ignore or cross out products you do not use, the order always stays the same.

Special Note: MIRACLE ZIT, SMOOTHING CREAM, SMOOTHING GEL, BLEACHING LOTION, RETIN A, RENOVA or AVITA should be kept in the refrigerator - these products work faster when cold.



A.M. Instructions

Take cooler, not hot or steamy, showers. At the sink, cleanse with cooler, not hot and steamy, water. Your skin will thank you!

If you used MIRACLE ZIT last night, rinse off the residue with a wash cloth and cool water VERY GENTLY!

GELLOID MOISTURIZER AND MASK
 - Apply two portions, the size of a quarter each, to the face and neck as soon as you arise and/or immediately after exercising to replace moisture loss and dryness. Leave on until absorbed, (usually between 5 and 15 minutes) depending on how dry you are. You may leave it on longer if you have time and are relaxing. You may also apply more if it absorbs very quickly and you need more moisture in any area. Remove with Corrective Grains and water for 20 seconds.

CORRECTIVE GRAINS - For normal to dry skin and XX CORRECTIVE GRAINS for super oily and/or acne prone skin. Apply one quarters worth to the face (directly over the residue of your Gelloid if you use it) to gently exfoliate your skin. Use Corrective Grains in the shower or at the sink, in the morning and at night, to remove dead skin cells (keratinocytes) before cleansing with Facial Shampoo. Add water and MASSAGE GENTLY for 20 seconds using only your hands. You are not SCRUBBING, POLISHING or SANDING. Think of a butterfly wing or rose petal that you do not want to "fall apart". Before rinsing, use the residue on your hands on the back of hands and arms GENTLY.      

FACIAL SHAMPOO - For normal to dry skin and XX FACIAL SHAMPOO for super oily and/or acne prone skin. Use 1/2 pump to clean face, eyes and neck. Add water and massage GENTLY using only your hands as tools. Rinse well. Facial Shampoo is a no-tears formula that lathers "like a mother"! It removes waterproof make up and mascara, and leaves no residue of any kind on the skin. Use your Facial Shampoo in the shower or at the sink, in the morning and at night. Additionally, you should use Facial Shampoo after working out, or exposure to heat or humidity, to remove perspiration.

BIOLOGICAL REDEFINING MASK - A Clay Mask for oily and/or acne prone skin, do not apply to areas that are dry. Apply a VERY THICK COAT (1/8 of an inch or more!) to affected areas of your face. Leave on for 15 minutes and DO NOT allow the mask to dry on your skin. Rinse off GENTLY with a wash cloth and cool water. Use 2 times a week in winter, 3 times a week in summer. Biological Mask removes oil, dead skin cells and bacteria and leaves your skin feeling silky. A great way to prep your face for an important day or a special night out!

BLEACHING LOTION WITH KOJIC ACID- Apply to damp skin by rolling Bleaching Lotion on the areas to be treated. WAIT 20 SECONDS BEFORE APPLYING SPF 25. Fantastic results in 5 - 7 weeks as long as you use SPF 25 every day. Yes, EVERY DAY, even if it is cloudy, snowing or raining. Bleaching Lotion lightens and/or removes discoloration on the face and body from cumulative, everyday exposure to the sun. Be aware that antibiotics, antihistamines, antidepressants, birth control pills, hormones, homeopathic herbs such as St. John's Wort and Echinacea, as well as pregnancy, menopause, peri-menopause and the use of Retin A, Renova or Avita, make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, and will lead to discoloration without THE PROPER USE OF SUNBLOCK.

ZIT ZAPPER  is perfect for very sensitive skin and also very oily skin. For those of you that are sensitive to BPO this alternative will allow you to win the acne battle! The alpha hydroxy and salicylic acid removes zits from your face without irritation, redness, flaking or peeling. It is not photo sensitive and may be used a.m. or p.m. to fight acne and give you a smooth, glowing and flawless complexion:-) You may area and spot treat with this product and use it with Miracle Zit/Fix Zit and Smoothing Cream as well. This is a major new tool in your acne fighting arsenal:-) Only a pea size shape is needed for area treating. You may also spot treat over your make up during the day  

MOTHER STRICKLAND’S SKIN RELIEF is a BHA based (salicylic acid) product which removes redness and irritation from the skin. It is especially  good for those who have dry, flaky AND Rosacea or irritated skin and works very well to remove the oilies from oily skin. It works to prevent and remove all kinds of zits including Big Mothers and “waxy worms” without irritating or over drying your skin! Use Mother Strickland’s Skin Relief A.M and P.M. for area and/or spot treating on all skin. One pea sized shape is all that is needed to area treat your face. Two pea-sized shapes do a whole foot. Spread gently and do not rub over damp skin! It may be used under SPF 25 in the am and under Old Lady Cream, Smoothing Cream or Gel and Miracle Zit /Fix Zit at night. You may also spot treat lesions over your make up during the day. Use on body twice a day for smoothing rough or irritated skin of the feet, hands, elbows and knees. Order 1% for delicate and sensitive skin including Rosacea skins and acne. 2% for sensitive skin, acne, oily skin and Rosacea. 4% for heavy duty, arms feet hands and acne and oily skin. 

SPF 25 - Apply a pea sized shape to your fingertips and spread over very damp skin in the A.M. after cleansing. USE SUNBLOCK EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, EVEN IF IT IS CLOUDY, RAINING OR SNOWING. Spread gently. Do not rub. Very damp skin means almost wet. SPF 25 is a hydrolyzed product and penetrates when mixed with moisture. SPF 25 should be used on face, neck, eyes and hands and arms, as well as the back of your neck and ears! If you will be outdoors for sports, sunbathing or other activities, apply sunblock 30 minutes before you go outside. Be sure to reapply SPF after immersion in water! Protects against UVA & UVB rays. P.S. AVOID TANNING BEDS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Important Information about Smoothing Gel and Smoothing Cream - You may have received more than one smoothing product from Sage (Smoothing Gel is for OILY areas and Smoothing Creams are for NORMAL or DRY areas). When you use a COMBINATION of smoothing products on your face, you will NOT use the FULL amount that is called for in each product's directions. For example, the directions say to use "a flat dimes worth", but that assumes that you are using it on your ENTIRE face! If you only use a product on HALF of your face, you only use HALF a flat dime's worth. If only using on one THIRD of your face, apply one THIRD of a flat dime's worth, etc. Applying TOO MUCH smoothing product can aggravate your skin! It is vital that you use the correct amount of products, not to mention that it saves money.


6%, 12% or 20% SMOOTHING CREAM - For dry, normal and/or mature skins. Apply a flat dime's worth (see note above) to your fingertips and spread DIRECTLY over your SPF 25 on VERY DAMP SKIN. Do not wait for SPF to absorb. Spread gently. Do Not Rub. This product goes all the way up under the eyes. May tingle or sting for one minute after application. Smooth over face, neck and eyes. Removes fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, discoloration and rough, uneven textured skin. Contains Alpha, Beta, and Vitamin C acids.

20% SMOOTHING GEL - For oily and/or acne prone skin. Apply a pea-sized dab (see note above) to your fingertips and spread over SPF 25 on very damp skin. Do not wait for SPF to absorb. May tingle or sting for one minute after application. This will take the wax off your kitchen floor... just teasing! Smoothing Gel removes fine lines and wrinkles, acne lesions, discoloration and enlarged pores. Contains Alpha, Beta, and Vitamin C acids.

GELLOID MOISTURIZER AND MASK - Apply a pea-sized dab, or less if using in specific areas, and spread gently. Gelloid drenches you in moisture. Apply throughout the day as needed over make up to keep skin fresh and healthy looking.

OLD LADY CREAM - Apply a flat dimes worth and spread gently. Old Lady Cream also makes a terrific eye cream. The ultimate sealant if your skin is dry, itchy or irritated from the elements, by using Retin A, Renova, Smoothing Cream/Gel, Retin A Micro, or from physical exercise. This is the last step to seal in moisture. Always reapply Gelloid moisturizer and/or Old Lady Cream sealant after exercise or strenuous physical activity for a smooth, flawless and glowing skin.

MAKE UP - Apply your make up now if you wear it. Be sure to check the ingredients in your make up on the Sage Database of Comedogenic and Irritating Ingredients. This will tell you if the ingredients in your products contribute to acne or irritate your skin!



P.M. Instructions

CORRECTIVE GRAINS - For normal to dry skin and XX CORRECTIVE GRAINS for super oily and/or acne prone skin.

FACIAL SHAMPOO - For normal to dry skin and XX FACIAL SHAMPOO for super oily and/or acne prone skin. If you are wearing eye make up, apply a pea sized shape to your fingertips and cleanse your eyes using lots of water. Rinse. Now use 1/2 pump to clean your entire face, eye area and neck. Add water and massage GENTLY using only your hands as tools. Rinse well. Facial Shampoo is a no-tears formula that lathers "like a mother"!

Biological Mask removes oil, dead skin cells and bacteria and leaves your skin feeling silky. A great way to prep your face for an important day or a special night out

ICE YOUR FACE FOR ONE MINUTE - Icing reduces swelling and inflammation and allows your products to penetrate more quickly and give you a faster and better result. It is Sage Advice. There are two ways to do this:
1) Fill a paper cup with water and freeze it. Every evening take it out and ice your face. As you use up the ice simply peel back the edges of the paper cup.
2) Use an ice cube.

BLEACHING LOTION WITH KOJIC ACID - For the first two weeks, only use this product during the day. After two weeks you can graduate to day and night use -- I am serious about this! Your skin needs two weeks of day time use to acclimate to this product before you can use it day and night. Apply to damp skin by rolling Bleaching Lotion on the areas to be treated. Fantastic results in 5 - 7 weeks as long as you use SPF 25 every day. Yes, EVERY DAY, even if it is cloudy, snowing or raining. Bleaching Lotion lightens and/or removes discoloration on the face and body from cumulative, everyday exposure to the sun.

MIRACLE ZIT or FIX ZIT (10%), XX with SULFUR, GENTLE (5%) and VERY GENTLE (2 ˝%) - Apply a thin coat of Miracle Zit or Fix Zit to the affected area and a "blob" to any lesion you can SEE or FEEL under or on the surface of the skin. Miracle Zit and Fix Zit will bleach any fabric it contacts while wet, so allow to dry completely before sleeping. Remember, zits take 90 days to form, so this product must be used consistently to avoid more lesions, even when the skin appears to be clear. XX Miracle Zit and XX Fix Zit with Sulfur is extremely effective on BIG MOTHERS, which appear just in time for a photograph, wedding, class reunion or job interview! NEVER USE MIRACLE ZIT OR FIX ZIT ABOVE THE CHEEKBONE OR BELOW THE EYEBROW.

If you feel dry, moisturize with GELLOID and/or OLD LADY CREAM anywhere you have not used MIRACLE ZIT or FIX ZIT.

GELLOID MOISTURIZER AND MASK - If you feel dry, apply a pea-sized dab for the whole face, or less if using in specific areas, and spread gently. Gelloid drenches you in moisture.

OLD LADY CREAM - Apply a flat dimes worth and spread gently. Old Lady Cream also makes a terrific eye cream. The ultimate sealant if your skin is dry, itchy or irritated from the elements, Retina, Renova, Smoothing Cream/Gel, Retin A Micro or physical exercise. This is the last step to seal in moisture. Always reapply Gelloid moisturizer and/or Old Lady Cream sealant after exercise or strenuous physical activity for a smooth, flawless and glowing skin.

At Home Peels

Use your Corrective Grains on your face with lots of water very gently for 20 seconds. Rinse well with hands and water only. Leave skin damp.

Apply at least a pea sized shape of At Home Peels to your face going all the way up under eye area to the base of your lower lid.

Leave peel on your face for two minutes. For the last 20 seconds of the peel, you may use the sponge provided (very damp) to gently massage any area you wish to work on.

Rinse with a wash cloth and cool water gently. Apply a thick coat of Gelloid Moisturizer or Old Lady Cream. Wait 5 minutes and ice your face with ice cubes in a damp towel. Apply more Gelloid or Old Lady Cream if needed. Use no Grains, Smoothing Gel or Cream, Retin A or Miracle Zit, etc. that evening.

After one or two peels you may start increasing the time you leave the peel on by 30 second increments, until you reach four minutes. My advice would be to proceed slowly. You may do a peel every 5-7 days.
