FACIAL CLEANSER
The first step to a good skin care routine is using a good CLEANSER. Properly cleansing your skin is an essential step, because it helps remove dirt, toxins, pollution, and dead skin from the skin. If you are going to wash your face, why use regular bar soap when you can use a face wash that can deliver nutrients and active ingredients to the skin!
By cleansing your skin, you can remove dirt, oil, and dead skin which could otherwise lead to breakouts and blemishes! Prevent sudden oily skin and breakouts by using a quality face wash on a daily basis. With the right cleanser, your skin will feel refreshed and have the ingredients it needs to renew itself!
TONER
A good TONER can act as a very gentle exfoliant as well as rebalance the skin’s pH after a harsh day of insults from dirt, pollution, and UV rays. Standard bar soaps and chemicals also can alter the skin’s native pH, so a toner is useful.
Our toner not only helps to balance the skin pH, but also functions as an effective aftershave by gently exfoliating and reducing razor burn and bumps. Aloe can also help to soothe the skin after shaving and hydrate the skin around the face after a long day.
EYE CREAM
A good EYE CREAM is critical to any skin care routine, as the skin around the eyes is generally very thin and sensitive. Also with squinting, rubbing our eyes, and using makeup, this skin undergoes a lot of stress. Many dermatologists recommend people start using eye creams as early as their 20s in order to help reduce and prevent the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles.
A good eye cream or serum can help maintain the health and thickness of the skin around the eyes, and promote collagen formation in order to keep the skin looking tight and youthful. It is important to select a product that is gentle, but effective! By applying the eye product after a serum, you can also help lock-in the effects of a powerful vitamin C or hyaluronic acid serum around the eyes.
For best results, it is important to consistently treat the skin around the eyes on a daily basis. Similar when applying serums to the skin around the eyes, we recommend using your ring finger, and apply a small amount of product. Gently tap your eye cream onto the area beneath your eyes, avoiding the skin closest to your eyes. By applying eye cream every morning and night, you can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. Other tips include sunscreens and sunglasses to prevent squinting and UV exposure/damage
STEP 5: MOISTURIZER
Using a MOISTURIZER is important for people of ALL ages and ALL skintypes! Using a moisturizer at this step helps LOCK-IN previously applied serums and also helps to RETAIN the skin’s natural moisture after cleansing. By applying the moisturizer while the skin is still damp, you can retain more hydration within the skin. Persons with dry skin may consider heavier moisturizers whereas those with oily skin may prefer something lighter.
BONUS STEP: FACIAL MASKS
We recommend using any type of MASK in order to detoxify your skin and help to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the type of mask which you use, your skin can regain nutrients, hydration, as well as be cleared of toxins and dead skin cells.
