Remember when skin care was as simple as “cleanse, tone, moisturize”? Now, there are seemingly endless products to navigate in the hunt for a clearer, brighter, tighter skin. Knowing what products work together, how they benefit your skin, and the order in which to use them is incredibly important – not to mention taking your lifestyle and daily environment into consideration.

Why do I need a skincare routine you might ask? Because a good skincare routine promotes skin health and achieving your best skin will take some action on your part. The building blocks to feeling confident from the inside out start with the choices you make daily. And we are here to help guide you through this journey. This step-by-step guide will set you on the path to the best skin, and your best Self.  

Your Essentials:

Cleanser: At the bare minimum, daily cleansing will remove the buildup of oil, dirt, and pollution that accumulates on your face that can lead to clogged pores and dull skin. Starting with a clean face allows the products that follow work even better. It truly is an essential part of having good skin.

Toner: Toning the skin is an extra cleansing step to remove dirt and impurities from makeup and environmental pollution. They also help remove any excess oil, which is what clogs pores and causes blackheads in the first place, and, help restore pH balance to the skin.

Exfoliant: Environmental damage and other factors cause the surface of the skin to become dull, rough and uneven. Exfoliating is vital in eliminating this buildup, which otherwise will cause clogged pores and uneven skin tone and worsen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne Treatment (if needed): Research shows that topical treatments such as tea tree, AHA’s and glycolic acids are an essential step for preventing new acne or clearing out current acne.

Serums: Serums filled with antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients help defend your skin from environmental stressors helping soften the visible signs of aging for healthier, younger looking skin.

Moisturizer: Good quality moisturizers contain skin-restoring ingredients that instantly hydrate and lock in moisture while delivering unique benefits based on your skin concerns.

SPF: This essential morning step keeps your skin protected from the short, and long-term visible effects of sun damage which leads to wrinkles, uneven skin tone, loss of firmness, and many other signs of aging.

Essential Routine Steps

The following covers the basic types of products everyone should use, and the order in which to use them, day and night. These types apply to most skin types.

Essential Routine: MORNING 

Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate | For early risers kicking off the day right, morning brush use is key. Starting with a facial cleansing brush, attaching your brush head of choice and a nickel size of your daily cleanser to create a clean, smooth canvas for what is to follow. 

Step 2: Moisturize & Protect | When using the right universal moisturizer made for all skin types, dry, dull, sensitive, inflamed skin will be visibility smoother, younger and replenished. Sunscreen acts as a shield defense - keeping the bad stuff out, and the good stuff in.

Essential Routine: EVENING

Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate | Take the day off with a super-powered, make-up removing cleanser. Removing all traces of make-up to avoid build-up in the pores is key. Starting with a facial cleansing brush, attach your brush head of choice and a nickel size of your daily cleanser to create a clean, smooth canvas for your evening cream to follow. 

Note: If you prefer to use an acid or textured exfoliant, we suggest excluding the facial cleansing brush from your evening routine and using the active exfoliant 2-3 times a week.

Advanced Routine Steps

Adding luxurious and super ingredient-based serums will take your skin to the next level. If you’re concerned with breakouts, signs of aging, large pores, uneven skin tone, or sensitive skin, an Advanced Routine is your new best friend. It includes targeted solutions and boosters that build on the foundation of the Essential Routine to address your personal skincare concerns while being compatible with the needs of your skin type.

Step 2: Tone | Clear out any traces of make-up or build up left behind with your toner of choice. Pour a quarter size into a cotton pad and wipe away any impurities. 

Step 3: Serum | Freshly prepped skin absorbs key ingredients like Vitamin C, E, and powerful antioxidants for defense against free radicals which leads to inflammation and aged skin. 

Step 4: Moisturize | When using the right universal moisturizer made for all skin types, dry, dull, sensitive, inflamed skin will be visibility smoother, younger and replenished.

Step 5: Protect | Sunscreen acts as a shield defense - keeping the bad stuff out, and the good stuff in.

Note: Apply in order of thinnest to thickest texture – always before sunscreen

Step 4: Moisturize/Repair | Retinols are highly recommended as a final step in your routine for those looking to take their anti-aging routine to the next level. Oils also can be your best friend – especially for those looking to add extra hydration to the skin.

What about Eye Creams? Choose your eye cream based on how dry the skin around your eyes are and consider other concerns you might have, such as crow’s feet, dark circles, puffiness. And make sure to apply before your sunscreen if using during the day.

Building a skin regimen rich in key ingredient products, with targeted formulas, will pay you back over time. No one cares as much about you, as you! Take it upon yourself, affirming that you are worthy of, the-best-of-the-best. You live in one body during your lifetime. Give it purity!
