Level up your at home skincare routine

Let’s talk SKINCARE GOALS, shall we? So many products, so many questions. We are going to break it down so you know exactly how to get your skin glowing!

Cleansing Methods

Manual, brush or towel? Manual cleansing with your hands is great for anyone with normal to sensitive skin types. Not too exfoliating, not so gentle it doesn’t get the job done. Love those cleansing brushes? So, do we! Just make sure it is silicone. Bristle type brushes harbor bacteria and will stifle your progress. Brushes are great for normal to oily skin types. If you have sensitive skin nix the brush. Cleansing towels are more suited for your skin type. They are easy on your skin and just throw them in the wash when you’re done. What could be easier?

BONUS TIP-Spend time with your cleanser so it can work! 60 seconds, small circular motions. Up your cleansing game with a double cleanse in the evening to really boost your skin’s performance.

If this is you, keep things simple. Your evening regimen resembles your morning regimen. Start with a milk or oil cleanser to clean off the day’s air pollution, dust, makeup, etc. After cleansing apply a toner or essence while your skin is still damp. The next step is your serum. Serums are your skincare power-horses. They drive results. Lastly, lock all of those active ingredients in with your favorite moisturizer, facial oil, or sleep mask.

For oily or acne prone skin use a gel or foam cleanser. Cleanse twice; first to clean your skin, rid it of pollutants and irritants. Then again to get those active ingredients in your cleansers working on correction. Follow with a toner or essence to help balance out your pH before applying your favorite serum(s). To finish, apply a spot treatment as needed then a light weight moisturizer. The ingredients will continue their work overnight which is your skin’s prime recovery time.
