This year is almost coming to a close and many of us can hardly wait. Several months of what has felt like holding our breath under water, we can now rise to the surface on the other side. But the cold and dark weather, coupled with anticipation for the future, can make things feel draggy and stale, even for the most motivated.
This is where self-care comes in, and as we all know, it can be a pretty powerful act to lift our spirits and make us feel beautiful; confident. Self-care can be broadly defined, of course, but since we’re coming to you from a dermatology office, I think you can guess where we are going with this. We’re advocates of maintaining skin health and having the right skincare regimen is essential to achieving that outcome, especially when our complexions are not living their best lives right now.
So, we’ve come together and created a simple, day-to-day skincare routine for you to follow this winter. The goal is to not overburden your skin with too many products, and use products that are suitable for all skin types. And remember that less is more, always.
Step 1: Cleanse
Use our Purify Gentle Cleanser designed for sensitive skin with papaya enzymes to lightly exfoliate the skin and wash away excess oil or impurities.
Step 2: Tone & Refresh
Use our Antioxidant Toning Mist to help tighten pores and energize your skin and the senses. This refreshing mist has a lovely natural Lavender scent and contains a plethora of antioxidants to soothe and calm the skin. Spray this mist and take a deep breath in and out. You will feel relaxed instantly.
Step 3: Hydrate
Use our Absolute Hydrating Serum to keep your skin hydrated and improve skin quality. The mixed molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid is draws moisture from the air and plumps skin cells throughout the layers, leaving you with glass-like skin, minimized fine lines, and a beautiful glow.
Step 4: Moisturize & Protect
Use our Age Defy Lipid Cream replete with ceramides and emollients to seal everything in and protect your skin barrier (outermost layer of the skin known as the stratum corneum, which is comprised of lipids). The product has an addictively rich, creamy texture that envelops skin with comfort, but it’s not the least bit greasy or heavy. Picture a baby wrapped in a warm and cuddly swaddle shielded by the warmth of a loving parent. It’s the perfect moisturizer for the winter.
Last but not least, we recommend our Radiance Facial or our Hydrafacial Signature. These facials are all-around skin waker-uppers. They provide a thorough cleansing and exfoliation, and give your skin the gentle push it needs to get things going again. Your complexion will look refreshed and rejuvenated 🙂
