Confused when it comes to your evening skincare routine? We assist in demystifying the order of use for all of your products to maximise the benefits of your beauty sleep.
PM SKINCARE ROUTINE
-
CLEANSE: To get rid of the day’s grime, dirt, oil and makeup, we recommend removing any makeup first before double cleansing your face to ensure a prepped complexion ready to receive nightly actives
-
EXFOLIATE: Post-cleansing we suggest gently exfoliating skin 2-3 times per week to remove dead skin cells, helping to brighten your complexion and allowing deeper penetration of your topical products.
-
MASQUE: After double-cleansing and gentle exfoliation your skin is primped to receive nourishing actives from specialty treatment masques. Select a masque based on your skin concerns, for drawing out impurities we recommend a clay formula. For those seeking soothing, hydrating properties opt for a cream or gel formula.
-
TONE: We recommend toning following cleansing or your weekly treatments to restore skin back to its natural acidic state, while sweeping impurities away, repairing cell damage, priming pores and assisting with product absorption.
-
SPOT TREAT: Though it may seem counter-intuitive targeted, spot treatments are most effective applied before serums and hydrators. Allow any spot treatment to absorb for 5 minutes before continuing on with your PM skincare routine.
-
DETOX SERUM: Following cleansing, it is critical to nurture the process of dermal detoxification. Our ‘Detox’ phase fights the release of damaging free-radicals, improving the oxidative state of the skin, restoring cellular function and overall skin health. This restoration of skin health results, in turn, maximizes the absorption, benefits, and results of topical actives that follow.
-
TREATMENT SERUMS: Follow on from dermal detoxifications, layering targeted serums should be your next step in your routine. We suggest creating a cocktail of skin serums depending on your specific skin concern.
-
EYE CREAM: A nightly application of eye cream is essential for preserving the delicate and thin skin around the orbital contour. Apply prior to oils and creams to ensure proper penetration.
- NIGHT CREAM: The final step in your nightly skincare regime, a targeted night cream should be applied generously to your face, neck, and décolletage to lock in hydration to prevent water evaporation while you sleep, in-turn promoting proper skin healing.
