Skin Restoring Routine

Start Here: Restore your skin with this routine!

It's time to restore your skin with a new routine if your skin is red, flaking, warm, painful, itchy, or burning. Maybe you look in the mirror and see that there's a lot going on! Is it acne or rosacea, dehydrated or dry, irritation or dermatitis, hormonal or surface level? Or do you have stubborn skin that doesn't respond to products and treatments designed for your unique skin symptoms?

Most women in your shoes don't have a complete routine consisting of a cleanser, toner, hydrating serum, moisturizer, and SPF. Some are using the wrong products entirely which are either very underwhelming or overwhelming for their skin, are stuck on using green beauty or plant-based products that do not speak the language of human skin cells or are ignorant of the crucial ingredients that are required to transform sad skin into skin that is comfortable, hydrated, and healthy. Maybe you are like them and are impatient when you don't see results, and go all-in with actives like retinoids, acids, and harsh skincare treatments like dermaplaning, peels, and laser, instead of making little tweaks? Do you buy tons of skincare products and professional treatments with empty promises instead of investing in high-quality skincare devices like microcurrent and LED?

If this is you, I'd recommend starting on the following products to be used AM and PM which check all the boxes.

 

AM/PM Routine

1. Cleanser: Nourish Cream Cleanser or Soothing Oil Cleanser
Wet fingers, apply 1-2 pumps and thoroughly massage skin for 60 seconds. Splash skin to remove the cleanser, and gently assist removal with a warm damp facial cloth if necessary.
2. Toner: Cica Hydrating Essence
While skin is still damp from cleansing, hold bottle 6-9 inches from the face and spritz 3-5 times.
3. Hydrating Serum: Quench
While skin is still damp from mist, apply 1 pump of serum to face and neck, covering all redness and texture.
4. Moisturizer: Restore Peptide Cream
While skin is still damp from serum, smooth 1-2 pumps as an even layer on the skin.
5. Sunscreen (AM routine only): Colorscience Total Protection No Show Mineral SPF50
Sunscreen is a necessary product to prevent your skin from sun damage and accelerated aging. This is a good product to start with and it will be worthwhile to find an SPF that works well with your skin and supports your preferences. This SPF is safe for acne-prone clients.

Extra Barrier Support: Recovery Overnight Mask
If you're needing more support due to change in weather, pregnancy/postpartum, taking medication, or your barrier is more damaged than usual, apply a even layer amount over your moisturizer at night or instead of your moisturizer.

Exfoliation: Papaya Radiance Peel
1-2x/week, after cleansing, apply an even layer to the skin. Process for 10-15 minutes and rinse off. Follow with mists, serums, and moisturizers.

With a combination of slow releasing PHA and LHA to gently exfoliate, Dermathod Priming Peel Booster Pads designed to remain on the skin (do not remove). These glow-boosting peel pads gently smooth rough texture and visible reduce the appearance of brown spots, dark spots and enlarged pores.


Additional Skin Support:

LED Light Therapy: Omnilux LED Mask
Ten minute sessions 5 times per week will lower inflammation, encourage healing, and reduce breakouts in the most effective way. I recommend skincare devices all the time, and this one improves the skin drastically without applying topicals.

Once your skin begins to feel comfortable, hydrated, and healthy you can begin introducing Vitamin C serums, retinoids, and other anti-aging products! If you would like to know if the above routine is good for you then please send me a message. After you are using this routine for a couple of weeks or feel like you need more guidance you can book in for a consultation so we can monitor and track your skin plus add in some heavy duty serums with powerhouse ingredients.
