Any facial skin requires regular care.
Morning and evening care rituals should be carried out, even if your skin does not show any particular problems or imperfections.
Don't have face cream yet? Then you urgently need it.
Skin that has features or imperfections also requires regular care - the difference is only in the selection of products according to the needs of the skin.
Understanding basic skincare.
Base: care steps
In order for the skin to be healthy and well-groomed, every day (morning and evening) you need to carry out the procedures in this order:
- Сleansing
- Toning
- Moisturizing
You can add extra care between the toning and moisturizing steps.
Morning
In the morning, the skin must be cleansed, that is, washed with a cleanser (and not just water)
in order to wash off the remnants of skin sebum and metabolic products accumulated on its surface during the night, clean the pores, and prepare the skin for a new day.
Use for washing gel or foam, also you can take washing balm. Enzyme powder is a product for evening procedures, this product should not be used in the morning. Enzyme Powder actively exfoliates and may increase sensitivity to UV exposure.
After washing, use toner.
Do not neglect this product, it is important for balancing the acid-base balance, and also helps to prepare the skin for the next stages of care. A high-quality tonic contains components for nourishing, moisturizing, restoring the protective properties of the skin, or solving other problems.
Important: do not use tonics with acids or retinol in the morning.
These are means for evening rituals of care.
After applying the toner, you can wipe your face with an ice cube or do a mini massage with cryospheres. This simple technique stimulates the lymph flow, helps get rid of swelling, and tone the skin of the face.
Next is the moisturizing step. Even if your skin looks perfect and shows no need for nourishment/hydration,
applying a moisturizer is just as necessary a step of care as brushing your teeth in the morning.
Therefore, choose a cream according to the needs of the skin and apply immediately after the tonic. Under eyes, it is better to use a special cream. The skin in the orbital region is delicate and has no subcutaneous fat, so the sooner you start taking care of it, the longer you can keep it young and firm.
If you have oily skin, and it seems that she does not need the cream at all, do not rush to refuse it. The paradox is that the more the skin requires hydration, the more sebum (the natural lubricant for the skin) will stand out. And vice versa - well-hydrated oily skin will become less shiny during the day.
Evening
The steps are the same, but we start by removing makeup. If there is no makeup, cleansing-toning-moisturizing, as in the morning.
Removing makeup is a step that must be done, no matter what condition you are in.
Approaches may vary. If the make-up is light, unstable - you can immediately wash your face with a foam or washing gel. If you want a more thorough cleansing, use a two-phase cleansing.
Possible schemes for two-phase purification:
Micellar water / cleanser / toner
Cleansing balm or hydrophilic oil / cleanser / toner
Make-up remover milk / cleanser / toner
Then immediately moisturizing or additional care - about it below.
An evening ritual may well contain exfoliation with a scrub or enzyme powder. Scrub can be used after cleanser. Enzyme powder use instead of a cleanser.
We include both products in evening procedures no more than 2-3 times a week in total (i.e. 1 time scrub, 2 times enzyme powder or 3 times enzyme powder) - according to the needs of the skin or in connection with personal preferences. Yet exfoliation treatments based on enzymes and granules differ in sensations, this is a matter of individual comfort.
The evening procedure may already contain tonics with acids, retinol, as well as retinol cream or a night cream according to the needs of the skin, which suits you.
Additional care - plus to the base
Between the stages of toning and moisturizing, you can add another care stage. For example, serum or mask, or both.
We also choose them - according to the needs of the skin.
It is serums and masks that allow you to qualitatively solve problems in connection with the type or condition of the skin. For example, effectively moisturize, regulate sebum secretion, restore, provide an anti-aging effect.
Apply serum immediately after tonic, distribute along massage lines until completely absorbed. Then apply cream. The cream must be applied after the serum, so the components of the serum “close” and the complex of products works correctly.
In this case, the cream can be universal with high-quality components for nutrition and hydration, a set of antioxidants - which is suitable for any type of skin. But whey is a highly concentrated remedy for solving a very specific problem.
For example, Serum Anti-age to work with the first signs of aging and improve skin elasticity, for skin with the first signs of aging.
Serum ProBioBalance perfectly moisturizes and restores protective functions. Suitable for dry, sensitive skin, for skin after procedures with acids or retinoids.
Serum Therapy with Bakuchiol evens tone, regenerates, has an anti-aging effect, brightens post-acne marks, moisturizes.
SkinMag Serum conducts the products of the next stage of care into the deep layers of the skin, rejuvenates, restores the microbiome.
The mask can be applied after the tonic before the cream or after the serum before the cream, depending on the type of mask and the needs of the skin.
For example, nourishing masks Mask Shine, Magnesium and Chocolate Mask, Mask Therapy with Bakuchiol go well with the serums of our line and can complement each other. So feel free to combine them.
Anti-stress Mask or Sebo-Controlling Mask best suited for evening procedures (after cleansing and toning). Serums before them are not used.
Revitalizing Gold Mask will help prepare the skin for a new day (or an important event) and restore it in the evening after removing makeup - it can be taken care of both in the morning and in the evening.
And remember, simple basic care principles, even with a minimal set of products, help maintain a healthy look and elasticity of the skin for a long time. Cleansing, toning, moisturizing in the morning and in the evening. It's only 5-10 minutes in each of the procedures. It's very easy to take care of yourself.
