Elevate Your Winter Facial Routine

 

Winter can suck it all out of you!

Dry air is generally the culprit.

Proper hydration is what's missing!

If you’re looking for some facial tips to take better care of your skin I’m sharing some secrets.

As easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Cleanse

2. Anti Aging

3. Moisturize.

Rinse & Repeat!

However if you just like to see the results scroll towards the bottom for those pictures.

Here we go!

Step 1: Cleanse

If you are only going to wash once a day, be it at night!

If you want your best results you must commit to washing your face every day!

Wash your face for ONE MINUTE!!!⏰
It takes a good 30 seconds for your cleanser to remove all of the sunscreen, insect repellent, BBQ smoke, sebum (oil), makeup, environmental pollutants and other summer amazingness from your skin.

AND THEN another 30 seconds for the formula to work it’s way into your pores - and that’s when the magic happens!🔮✨


‼️Do your skin and your bank account a favor and get the most out of your cleanser. I PROMISE if you start cleansing for a full minute CONSISTENTLY you will see a difference in the clarity and brightness of your skin!

💡BONUS: all the extra massaging will help move stagnant fluid from pocketing in your face (puffiness) and improve circulation (brightness)!

💦Use COOL water! Hot water dries your skin.

Choice of 1 of 3:

a) Tea Tree Cleansing Gel: Purifies pores, and removes dirt, makeup, and impurities. Benefits of Tea Tree include: •Clarifies and balances skin •Decongests clogged pores •Balances natural oils •Improves skin tone •Reduces blemish-causing bacteria

b) *Top 20* Prebiotic Facial Wash: All skin types - ideal for combo to oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin. Improves skin’s microbiome. Removes makeup and impurities • Improves Skin Texture • Restores natural pH levels • Chamomile, Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera • 

Great beginner skincare product for teens.  This is my favorite cleanser & use it daily. 

c) Botanical Cleansing Gel is a daily facial cleanser that gently removes makeup and impurities, hydrates, calms, and brightens skin tone for a healthy, radiant glow.

If you don’t have a cleanser you love, I got you! These cleansers breakdown to as little as $3/month.

Step 2: Anti Aging

If you're over the age of 25, anti aging should be in your daily routine.  This number use to be in the mid 30s, however with all the pollution, toxins, & other elements are face is exposed to daily the younger is better. 

There is still hope, if you're 35 and haven't started, START now!  I started my routine when I was over 35 and at least once a year get comments that I can't be over 40.  Flattery or not, I'll take it and can say my skin is the most hydrated it's been since probably preteens, lol.

TIP: Dot, Dot, Blend.
Dot the product on your face & then blend.
You will use far less product!

Choice of 1 of 3:

a) Apple Elixir Serum is a lightweight, ultra-hydrating serum packed with skin-renewing ingredients that protect and restore a smoother, youthful-looking complexion.

b) Anti-Aging Oil Serum: This liquid gold serum is packed with avocado, argan, and apricot kernel oil to keep skin hydrated, plump, and glowing.

c) Vitamin C serum: multi vitamin for your skin! Enriched with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and fortifying MSM. The fast-absorbing formula revives your complexion, rebuilds elasticity, retains hydration and promotes healthy collagen production. Reveal smoother, more vibrant skin with each use.

These serums can be layered if desired.  Apply in layer of consistency, lightest to richest.  If both same consistency, then start with the one with the benefits you want to focus on the most.

Step 3:

We never know if we don't try!  Also, even if you have oily skin your face needs a moisturizer.  Many times oily skin can be the result of excess sebum creation due to the lack of hydration.  

Also, hydrated skin is less likely to wrinkle.  Of course, drinking enough water each day can benefit this process too.

Remember at the beginning where I mentioned it's best to wash your face at night. An added benefit to that is skin cells regenerate at night so it's beneficial to use products with active ingredients at night.

TIP: Dot, Dot, Blend.
Dot the product on your face & then blend.
You will use far less product!

Choice of 1 of 3:

a) Overnight Ultra Lift Crème: Wake up refreshed every morning! This superior anti-aging crème refines the appearance of wrinkles, evens skin tone and promotes elasticity and firmness to skin.

c) Overnight Glow Facial Mask is a gel-based mask that is like a fresh glass of water for your skin and is one of the simplest products you can use! ! All you need to do is apply it to freshly cleaned skin before bed, leave it on overnight, and wake up with fresh, hydrated, and soft skin.
