Welcome to a journey of rejuvenation and self-care tailored specifically for those who believe AGE IS JUST A NUMBER!
As a firm believer in the power of effective, natural ingredients backed by science, I’ve put together a skin care routine for you.
In a world inundated with skin care options, I understand the importance of simplicity and purity. That’s why I have meticulously curated a collection of products that are not only safe and beneficial, but also harness the potency of nature to restore your skin’s vitality.
Let’s embark on a daily ritual that not only enhances your outer beauty but also nourishes your inner glow.
Together we’ll defy age stereotypes and embrace the beauty of every stage of life
Your Daily Routine for Healthy and Glowing Skin
Cleansing:
Cleansing your skin both day and night is ultra-important, and I highly recommend a daily double- cleanse, ie. with the same cleanser or a different one. I suggest a single cleanse in the mornings and a double-cleanse at night when you are removing your makeup.
My go-to’s are: DermResults Advanced Cleansing Balm with Avocado Oil and/or DermResults Advanced Gel Cleanser.
Toning:
Using a toner helps to balance the skin’s PH, tone, sooth and deliver another layer of essential hydration to your skin, especially in winter. You can use a spray toner or apply your toner with a cotton makeup pad. I’d keep my eyes closed while applying the spray toner!
My go-to’s are: DermResults Advanced Toning Essence with Mineral Booster or DermResults Glow Toner.
Serum:
Why is a serum necessary? Serums have a smaller molecular structure which works to deliver powerful ingredients straight into the skin. This system works more deeply and effectively, absorbs easily and quickly and also contains a higher percentage of active ingredients than any other product in your skin care routine. The serum I use can be used under the eye also.
My go-to’s are: Arbonne Intelligence® NAD+ Cellular Skin Booster and DermResults Advanced Serum with Hyaluronic Acid.
Eye Cream:
Do we really need an eye cream? The anser is yes! The skin around the eye is very delicate. Eye creams are therefore designed to nourish the area appropriately. Avoid using a face cream under the eye as it could aggravate the area.
Don’t be tempted to rub or drag so that you don’t get that baggy look! Just a light tap will suffice!
My go-to’s are: DermResults Advanced Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and AB Lab Hydrating Eye Cream.
Moisturizer:
A moisturizer’s job is to hydrate, repair its protective barrier, improve texture and shield it from environmental stressors. Moisturizers help maintain optimal skin hydration by attracting and holding water in the skin layers.
Moisturizers play a vital role in skincare by providing hydration, protecting the skin barrier, soothing irritation, and offering anti-aging benefits. Choosing the right moisturizer based on your skin type and concerns can significantly enhance your skin’s health and appearance.
Hydration: Moisturizers are designed to increase the water content in the skin, preventing dryness and flakiness. They contain ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides that attract and retain moisture.
Barrier Protection: They help to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, which protects against environmental stressors such as pollution and harsh weather. This barrier function is crucial for maintaining overall skin health.
Soothing and Calming: Moisturizers can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness, making them beneficial for sensitive skin types. Ingredients like aloe vera and shea butter are often included for their calming properties,
Anti-Aging Benefits: Regular use of moisturizers can help slow down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by keeping the skin plump and firm. Hydrated skin looks healthier and more youthful.
My go-to’s are: DermResults Advanced Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid, ASAP Advanced Hydrating Moisturizer or Aspect Phytostat 9.
Now we get to the really good stuff!
Exfoliating:
A gentle exfoliation treatment once or twice a week is fabulous for your skin, especially in winter. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and paves the way for you skin care to be better absorbed, thereby smoothing the path for your makeup.
Manual Exfoliation:
Using a manual exfoliator cream by wetting your face, squeezing a small amount onto your fingers and use circulation motions for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then follow with your nighttime routine.
My go-to is: DermResults Solutions Resurfacing Exfoliator.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids:
AHAs are water-soluble acids that primarily work on the skin’s surface to exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother, and brighter skin. They include glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and malic acid. Alpha hydroxy acids are often used in skincare products because of their ability to exfoliate the skin and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
How do they work? AHAs work by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. This allows the dead skin cells to be sloughed off, revealing softer, smoother skin underneath. Alpha hydroxy acids also stimulate collagen production.
Application: Squeeze a pea-sized amount on to your fingers and massage gently into the face, avoiding the eye area. If you haven’t used AHA’s previously, I would start with 5 mins and increase the time depending on your skin’s reaction and work your way up 10 mins. Rinse thoroughly and apply your nighttime products, avoiding active ingredients like Retinol and Vitamin C. A little redness after using an AHA is to be expected.
Please note: I would recommend seeing your aesthetician or skin care professional before use if you are a first time user of AHA’s & BHA’s.
Hydrating Masks:
Find some to relax for some self-care! Sit back and listen to your favorite music or podcast and indulge in one of the array of beautiful face masks! (You’ll have to sip your wine through a straw though!)
Application:
If you are using a sheet mask, take out of the mask and apply to clean dry skin for approx. 20 mins. This is best applied at night. Remove the mask and massage in the residual serum. Follow by your nighttime routine.
If you are using a cream-based mask, follow the instructions, ie. massage gently into the skin, leave on for the required time, rinse and complete the rest of your routine!
My go-to’s are: DermResults Solutions Biocellulose Sheet Mask or Mecca Cosmetica Future Hydrogel Mask.
