A Skincare Routine can help regenerate skin cell production to keep the skin looking and feeling its best throughout any stage of life. It helps fight and prevent key signs of aging , to either firm sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, or boost elasticity. Many people are not even aware that skincare routines can help with acne scars. A great skincare routines is the best acne scar treatment.

Cleanse your face twice a day. Use a gentle cleanser without any harsh chemicals. Acne-prone skin will benefit from double cleansing, a process that ensures skin is left super clean. Dry skin means that your face can't protect itself as well as it should from the environment. If you have dry skin, your morning prep is important, to get your skin ready for the day.

When it comes to daytime skincare, it’s going to be very different from your nighttime routine. The Daytime is all about keeping your skin protected from the elements. Mainly the wind and sun. So for the Daytime we really need to bring on the moisturizer and SPF. Now for that All Day glow try adding a great facial toner with a facial serum! But the absolute most important factor is the SPF! don't leave home without it!

The main element of your Skincare Routine is your Cleanser.

It is what you’ll use to wash your face .

Finding the right cleanser may be a process of trial and error, if you don't know your skin. Please do your research. If you have dry skin, you’ll want to use one without alcohol or fragrance. and with moisturizing properties. If your skin tends to be oily, you’ll want to look for an oil-free or greese-less oil option. You need to wash your face gently ,at least twice a day and rinse well with warm water.

Next is your Toner

Toner is applied after washing your face and is used to smooth, soften and calm the skin. Toners often contain ingredients that replenish and restore nutrients to your skin balance the skins ph.

Last but most importantly not least, is your facial Moisturizer!

Like cleansers, moisturizers are for everyone and should be used every time you wash your face. It's second most important part of your Skincare Routine. And like a great cleanser, a little trial and error may be necessary when you’re looking for the right one. If you have oily skin, for example, your skin will benefit from a lightweight, non-comedogenic product. Moisturizers prevent your skin from drying out, leaving your skin hydrated and smooth. They are most effective when applied while your skin is slightly damp to seal in moisture. If you have oily skin, you still need hydration and moisturizers. Finding the right one for your skin is the key.

That's the basic to a great skin care routine .

But if you want to go a step further, Let's talk about Serums.

Another optional addition to your skin care routine, is serums. They contain ingredients like antioxidants, retinol, and alpha hydroxy, that support skin health in a number of ways, such as calming redness and improving texture , pigment and firmness. Serums are critical in any kind of correction that your trying to do to your skin. If your trying to correct skin problems, such as, acne scarring, or hyperpigmentation, your going to need more than just serum. Your also definitely going to need exfoliation

Exfoliation, the Secret to your success!

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. It's very controversial if you should exfoliate everyday. But we all know if extremely beneficial. I recommend a gentle exfoliation daily, like an emulsifying sugar scrub. You should keep anything harsher to once or twice a week – max. Exfoliation s

can be used after cleanser, (but I recommend exfoliation first!) but always before moisturizer and it serums, as it helps the skin become more acceptable to receive it's benefits. The benefits are real.
