Not sure where to start?
We know it can be challenging to even know where to begin. We have put together an essential routine of your skincare "must-haves" to get you started on the way to glowing skin.
Cleansers
Finding the right cleanser is a great starting point to making sure your other skincare products are performing optimally.
You want to make sure you are washing your face both morning and night for at least 15 seconds.
After cleanser, some people like to use a toner to further cleanse or cleanse again, known as a "Double-Cleanse," to ensure all makeup and impurities are removed from the skin.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is key to healthy skin!
Vitamin C not only helps to brighten the skin but also offers incredible antioxidant protection and promotes collagen production leading to fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
It is most beneficial when applied in your AM routine but can be used anytime after cleanser and before moisturizer.
Vitamin C can come in lotion or serum-based products, so it is important to find which one is best for you. With the skin quiz, you can find your water drop color to help shop for the Vitamin C designed for your needs.
Retinol
Retinol is vital in your anti-aging routine.
Whether you are actively concerned about fine lines or want to start preventing them early, this is a great step in the right direction.
Some retinol can be irritating but there are many forms out there, so we recommend starting them every other day, working up to daily.
Retinol can also help with other skin concerns like acne, so it is a must-have for every routine!
Moisturizer
Moisturizers come in all shapes and sizes from very thin to extra thick.
Even if you struggle with oil and breakouts, it is important to use a light moisturizer to ensure a healthy balance of hydration. When you use drying products for the breakouts and don't provide adequate hydration back to the skin, it will then try to overproduce oil to compensate, so creating a balance is essential.
Taking the skin quiz and shopping by your water drop will help guide you to the best moisturizer suited for your needs.
SPF
Sunscreen is the unsung hero of the skincare world.
YES, you need sunscreen EVERYDAY.
NO, having sunscreen in your makeup does not count as a daily SPF use.
If you do one positive thing for your skin - it is wearing SPF every single day, rain or shine, even if you are inside all day, 365 days a year. The sun is still reaching you and causing unnecessary damage.
