FOLLOW THESE SIX SIMPLE STEPS TO TAKE YOUR SKIN CARE REGIMEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL

It’s springtime, beauties! So, let’s talk about how to treat your skin as we transition from the cold nights of winter into the blooming days of spring. As any beauty buff will tell you, it’s super important to know how to layer your facial care products, regardless of the season. We know that there are tons of how-to tutorials and articles out there that show various types of skin regimen. How do you choose, right? But whether you have a three, six, or even a 12-step skincare routine, the simple rule is to layer your skincare products from lightest to heaviest.

Before Layering Products, Refresh Your Skin

1. CLEANSE – Every skin care routine starts with cleansing or exfoliating, whether it’s first thing in the morning or right before bed (Tip: You don’t want to sleep with your makeup on). It’s important to create a clean slate for the products you will be putting on your skin so you can get the maximum effectiveness from them. That means you need a cleanser that will remove the dirt and impurities that can build up on the skin’s surface without stripping away moisture.

To gently and thoroughly clean your skin, reach for a light and fragrance-free cleanser like DERMA E’s Purifying Gel Cleanser to begin your natural beautifying regimen. This facial cleanser contains potent Activated Charcoal to purge pollutants from the skin’s surface, as well as Kimarine® Wakame and Bladderwrack seaweeds to protect and nourish your complexion. Your skin will thank you for it.

2. TONE – There are those who swear by using a facial toner immediately after cleansing, while others are still unclear about its benefits. Simply put, these types of products are a great addition to your skin care routine. Toners are lightweight liquids specifically designed to target different skin care needs—they can help give skin an extra-clean feeling while also providing it with skin-nurturing ingredients that benefit your particular complexion.

For instance, say you want to be proactive when it comes to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In that case, you would want to try our Anti-Wrinkle Toner to remove impurities and help re-balance skin, while also refreshing the complexion with the use of Vitamin A and Glycolic Acid, which are proven to help renew the tone and texture of the skin’s surface.

3. EYE CREAM – You simply cannot have a satisfying skin care regimen without giving some much-needed love to your The skin surrounding the eyes is thin and delicate, so you want an eye cream that is rich and moisturizing. Expressing yourself also leaves a mark on the area around your eyes—laughing, smiling, squinting, and frowning can all create fine lines in the eye area—so a cream is crucial for youthful-looking skin.
