You may have:
- Blemishes seemingly without cause
- Ingredient allergic reactions
- Foods cause blemishes
- Skin gets stressed with stress/change
- Seasons affect skin
- Hormone changes affect skin
STEP 1 CLEANSE
STEP 2 EXFOLIATE
STEP 3 Hydrate
All Skin Types
CLEANSE YOUR FACE
- Wash in the morning to remove all the junk your skin purged overnight when in repair mode.
- Wash at night to remove makeup and/or the impurities from the day (sweat, sebum, etc.).
- Use a gentle cleanser designed for your skin type and use fingertips to work the cleanser without scrubbing.
- Rinse using warm water, as not to shock pores shut while rinsing & pat dry with a soft cloth.
- If you are using a daily exfoliator like a loofah, use it very, very gently.
- Hydrate after cleansing.
HYDRATE CLEAN SKIN
- Use natural ingredients, also derived naturally (not chemically bleached, etc.). This is food for your skin.
- Be aware, if water is an ingredient in a product, then there are a multitude of chemicals to guard it from bacteria (these are drying and possibly toxic).
- Use a serum and skip the filler ingredients. A serum is a concentrated formula so only active ingredients nourish deep (like our facial serums).
- Our skin produces oils to maintain its cell lifecycle, so using a quality oil effectively communicates with skin.
EXFOLIATE WEEKly
- Exfoliate gently for your skin type, masks are not one size fits all.
- Exfoliate once a week as a guide. This will allow your skin to have time to regenerate and cycle.
- Don’t leave masks on until fully hardened, 5-7 minutes max avoids over-drying skin, causing a rush in oil production.
- Hydrate immediately after a mask, skin redness is normal as blood rushes to the surface.
- Don’t use a mask the day before an event as it draws out junk and may cause a blemish to surface to be purged.
Sensitive skin may be made worse by:
- Sun exposure
- Exposure to air pollution
- Frequent changes in temperature
- Cold, harsh weather
- Hard water (water with higher mineral content)
- Very hot water
- Lack of sleep
- Hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle or pregnancy
- Stress and late nights
- Chlorine in swimming pools
- Dry skin and dehydration
Tips for Sensitive Skin:
- Use a mild cleanser
- Choose a hydrator that helps skin hold onto moisture
- Avoid fragrance
- Avoid Antibacterial or deodorant ingredients
- Avoid alcohol
- Avoid retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids
- Do not use waterproof cosmetics
- Toss old cosmetics
- Apply new products behind the ear for a fews days to test with your skin
- Pat dry after a shower
- Don’t over-heat your house
- Take warm vs hot showers
Oily Skin
Oily skin is defined by an excess of oil production, called sebum. You may begin to feel greasy shortly after washing and worry about shine and blockages.
You may have:
- Enlarged pores
- Blocked Pores/Blemishes
- Oil needs attention throughout the day
- Blackheads & shine
- Oil transfers onto surfaces
- Disappearing Make-up
STEP 1 CLEANSE
Oil Cleanser (uses quality oils to cleanse and hydrate)
Tea Crème Cleanser (a creamier liquid cleanser)
Salt Bar (Himalayan salt bar that foams and hydrates while cleansing)
Milk & Oats Bar (goat milk and oatmeal textured bar)
Willow Toner (evens out skin to prepare to accept the next moisture step evenly)
