Understanding Your Skin Type

Why It Matters

Before diving into your daily skincare routine, it's crucial to understand your skin type. Different skin types such as oily, dry, combination, and sensitive have unique needs that require specific products.

Identifying Your Skin Type

Oily Skin: Described by extra sebum production, showing to radiate and implicit acne. Look for featherlight, oil free products.

Dry Skin: Lacks humidity and can feel tight or short. Use hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or oils such as our Rosehip Oil.

Combination Skin: Exhibits characteristics of both unctuous and dry skin. Focus on balance products.

Sensitive Skin: Prone to irritation and redness. Opt for gentle, fragrance free products.

The Essentials of a Daily Skincare Routine

Key Steps to Follow

Creating a consistent daily skincare routine is vital for maintaining skin health. Here’s a simple step-by-step approach:

  1. Cleaner: Launch with a soft cleaner to remove contaminations and extra oil. Look for sulfate-free options to avoid stripping your skin.
  2. Serum: Incorporate serums with active ingredients tailored to your skin's needs, such as vitamin C for brightening or hyaluronic acid for hydration.
  3. Moisturizer: Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type lightweight for oily skin and richer for dry skin.
  4. Sunscreen: Never skip sunscreen during the day to cover against damaging UV shafts. Use broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Creating a Morning Skincare Routine

Why Morning Matters

Your morning skincare routine is key for grooming your skin for the daytime ahead. It not only hydrates but also protects against environmental stressors.

Steps to Follow

  1. Cleanse: Start fresh by purifying your face to remove any contaminations from overnight.
  2. Serum: Apply a vitamin C serum to brighten your complexion and protect against free radicals.
  3. Moisturizer: Take a featherlight moisturizer to observe your skin hydrated.
  4. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to shield your skin from UV damage.

Perfecting Your Night Skincare Routine

The Power of Nighttime

A night skincare routine allows your skin to refresh and regenerate while you sleep. This is the time to use more potent ingredients.

Steps to Follow

  1. Cleanse: Remove makeup and dirt from the day with a thorough cleanse.
  2. Exfoliate 2- 3 times a week, apply a soft exfoliator to slough off dead skin cells( avoidover-exfoliating).
  3. Serum: Use a treatment serum such as our Anti-Aging Serum or any targeted treatment for specific concerns.
  4. Moisturizer: Apply a nourishing night cream or oil, such as Sea Buckthorn Oil, for hydration and repair.

Skincare Routine Before or After Shower: Which is Best?

Timing Matters

This is a common question among skincare enthusiasts: should you do your skincare routine before or after the shower?

The Verdict

  • Before Shower: Ideal for those who want to remove excess oil and dirt from the day before bathing. It helps prevent clogged pores.
  • After Shower: This method can help products absorb better due to the steam opening your pores. Just be sure to apply your skincare routine while your skin is still slightly damp for better hydration.

Incorporating Special Treatments

Take Your Routine to the Next Level

For those wanting to enhance their skincare routine, consider incorporating special treatments:

  1. Masks: Use hydrating, detoxifying, or exfoliating masks 1-2 times a week.
  2. Spot Treatments: For acne or hyperpigmentation, apply targeted treatments as needed.
  3. Facial Oils: Include oils like Jojoba Oil for added moisture and nourishment.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoiding Pitfalls

Even with the best intentions, people often make mistakes in their skincare routines that can hinder results:

  1. Over-Exfoliating: Too much exfoliation can irritate your skin.
  2. Skipping Sunscreen: Protecting your skin daily is crucial.
  3. Not Customizing: Using products that don't suit your skin type can lead to problems.
