How to Pick the Perfect Skin Care Routine
Find Your Perfect Skin Care Routine
With the wide variety of options on the market, it can be intimidating to find skin care products that truly work for you and don't get us started on the complex systems with 10+ steps. The great news is that you don't need complex skin care systems. The right skin care products should multi-task and be formulated with the precise actives to deliver results with fewer products. Here are our suggestions on the perfect skin care routine for morning and evening!
THE 5 MINUTES OR LESS- MORNING ROUTINE FOR HEALTHY SKIN
Let's face it, even if you are a morning person, mornings can be hectic and harried. A good morning skin care routine should help prepare and protect your skin for the day in under five minutes. Yes, under five minutes- here's how:
Gently Cleanse Skin in the Morning
You may already know that proper cleansing is one of the most important parts of your skin care routine. Start with a gentle cleanser to remove products from the evening or any build-up on your complexion. Look for a gentle balancing wash that gives you a thorough cleanse without disrupting the natural balance of oils or pH levels on your skin. An effective, gentle cleanse helps your skin renew and repair itself without feeling stripped of its natural oils and moisture barrier. Our CLEANSE | BALANCING WASH is made to be gentle on your skin to help prepare your skin for the day without stripping your skin.
Tone and Prep to Support Healthy Skin All Day
Next, you'll want to support your skin with an adaptogen toner to help reduce the appearance of any redness and balance the look of your skin tone. If you've been using an alcohol-based toner, try switching to a well-formulated adaptogen toner to help manage redness and potential signs of stress on the skin, while preparing your skin for the day. You can find all these essentials in our SUPPORT | ADDAPTOGEN TONER. Reduce redness and surface fatigue in two quick mists of this elegant elixir.
Never Skip the SPF- Even If You Can't See the Sun
It has been estimated by the Skin Cancer Foundation that ~90% of premature aging is a direct link to sun exposure, yet only 11% of people wear an SPF daily. Probably not surprising to you if you have tried to wear one daily and were met with the heavy, greasy, and irritating formulas on the market and you don't usually get enough for all day protection in makeup formulas. Skip the outdated formulas and select the PROTECT | DAILY DROPS for your go-to daily sun care. Why? This incredible serum is ultra-lightweight, glides on perfectly clear, and has targeted actives to help promote healthier, smoother skin. Oh, and it also works as an incredible makeup primer, is reef safe, is made with ultra-clean ingredients and is in a NEW mess-free bottle. It's okay to fall in love with it! Your skin will thank you today AND TOMORROW.
RESTORE & REJUVENATE SKIN WITH THIS EASY EVENING ROUTINE
A simplified evening routine can help wash away the day and nourish your skin in four easy steps. Here's everything you need to know.
Embrace the Double Cleanse- Yes, We Promise It's Worth It
Many people wash their face incorrectly or skip this essential step entirely. The best way to get an effective cleanse is to use a Double Cleanse process. For your nighttime routine, first start with an oil-based cleanser to remove your makeup, sunscreen, and other products. Then, follow with a water-based cleanser to remove dirt, grime, and build-up from the day. An effective double cleanse allows you to effectively cleanse your skin without disrupting its delicate balance while getting a complete clean. Our DOUBLE CLEANSE Set includes our REMOVE | CLEANSING OIL and our BALANCE | CLEANSING WASH in one discounted set.
Tone Your Skin to Reduce Redness & Improve Effectiveness of Nighttime Treatments
Just as you do during your morning routine, use an adaptogen toner to balance your skin and let it dry before following up with a targeted serum for even more nourishment. Use the same adaptogen toner as part of your evening routine to ramp up results from your treatments and settle your skin for the night.
Elevate Your Skin Care Results with a Serum
Opt for a rich antioxidant serum like our NOURISH | Activating Serum that has 17 active ingredients to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep. This is lightweight, concentrated serum should include active ingredients to infuse your skin with the nutrients it craves while helping your skin appear more hydrated and radiant. If your skin craves more moisture use a serum like our R&R SUPER SERUM. This luxurious serum is designed to hydrate, soothe, and protect your skin.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
A luxurious moisturizer is the final step to seal in hydration and repairing your skin. Your skin can lose important moisture as you sleep, and moisturizer helps protect skin overnight. An ideal moisturizer will hydrate while promoting natural collagen production and should also contain gentle exfoliating actives to renew cellular turnover; so, skin looks healthy and radiant. TRANSFORM | REGENERATING MOISTURIZER is a lightweight moisturizer that feels hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. Use after your favorite serum and get ready for a goodnight!
