You will notice that we recommend different cleansers for the morning and the evening. We suggest a sulfate-free gel cleansers in the morning to give the skin a deep pore cleansing, while a cleansing lotion in the evening are more effective for dissolving and melting makeup out of the pores. If you'd like to start with just one, we suggest the morning gel cleanser to be used both morning and evening.
Morning Routine
We recommend a separate routine for morning and evening simply because your skin's needs differ from day to night. During the day, you want to focus on giving your skin protection from the sun and environmental abuse, while providing lightweight hydration under makeup.
Morning Recommended Products
STEP ONE
Cleanse your skin with GENTLE GEL CLEANSER. This provides a deep pore cleansing without stripping and over-drying your skin. On damp skin, apply a nickel-sized amount of gel, work through, and rinse well.
STEP TWO
Saturate a Toning Cloth with our alcohol-free HYDRATING MINERAL TONER. Wipe over entire face. Leave your skin damp with the toner and proceed to Step Three. By leaving your skin damp with the toner, you are giving your skin a drink of water, which is essential for healthy skin. Toning Cloths are a must-have companion to our alcohol-free toners.
STEP THREE
On damp skin, apply a thin coat of VITAMIN C&E TREATMENT. This provides the skin with daytime antioxidant protection to prevent free radical environmental damage. A must for repairing sun damaged skin.
STEP FOUR
Rub a quarter-sized amount of AGE DEFENSE MOISTURIZER SPF 30 onto fingertips. Apply to entire face, neck and ears, (even the back of the neck for those with short hair). Our sunscreen is lightweight, greaseless, and feels perfect under makeup. Read: How to Apply Sunscreen to the Face and Neck
STEP FIVE
Dab on a small amount of SYNERGY EYE CREAM to the eye area and proceed with makeup (optional).
Evening Routine
We recommend a separate routine for morning and evening simply because your skin's needs differ from day than from night. In the evening, your skin is at rest and in repair mode, trying to heal the environmental damage that occurred during the day. You want to focus on calming, healing, removing surface dry skin cells and absorption of performance products.
Evening Recommended Products
STEP ONE
Apply a generous amount of ROSEMARY MINT CLEANSER to dry skin. Massage through the skin, wet fingertips, work through again, and rinse well with lukewarm water. We recommend applying the cleansing lotion to dry skin first, as cleansing lotions work to melt and dissolve makeup and oil out of the pores. If your skin is wet, it will dilute the cleanser and not perform as well. Many of our clients enjoy using our Facial Sponges, instead of a wash cloth, to provide a gentler cleansing.
STEP TWO
Saturate a Toning Cloth with our alcohol-free HYDRATING MINERAL TONER. Wipe over your entire face. Leave your skin damp with the toner and proceed to Step Three.
STEP THREE
For three nights, apply a thin coat of AHA SMOOTHING SERUM 20% to damp skin. It may or may not cause a mild tingling sensation, which is considered normal. By treating your skin with our AHA Smoothing Serum 20%, you are exfoliating the skin by dissolving the glue that holds dry, dead cells together to smooth the skin, refine the pores, and accelerate cellular turnover.
You then want to discontinue using your AHA Smoothing Serum 20% to give your skin a break from exfoliation. Research indicates that too much exfoliation cam cause visible or invisible inflammation and can accelerate the aging process. Also, AHA Smoothing Serum 20% performs more effectively when not being used all of the time.
For the next three nights, apply a thin coat of INTENSIVE FIRMING SERUM to damp skin. Using this works to feed your skin with nourishment and firming ingredients. Alternate the night serums every three nights, using each serum for three nights at a time.
*OPTIONAL: If you are interested in using a product with Retinol (a gentle version of the prescription Retin-A) to reduce wrinkles and large pores without causing dryness, redness or irritation, we highly recommend ADVANCED RESURFACING SERUM. Here is how to incorporate this product in your evening routine: Use it as your evening serum for two nights, then take one night off. The following two nights use the Advanced Resurfacing Serum again, and then take the following night off (alternating the above two suggested serums on the off nights) and repeat this every week. You can watch this video and read more about how to use it here.
STEP FOUR
Apply a small amount of GLOW ENHANCING CREAM to entire face and neck.
STEP FIVE
Apply a small amount of SYNERGY EYE CREAM to the area under the eyes. Avoid getting the cream too close to the lower lashes, as the cream might seep into the eyes while you sleep and cause puffiness.
Home Mini Facial (Once a Week)
Mini Facials are a must for keeping skin healthy and smooth. Your skin will thank you for the extra attention. The proper way to perform a Mini Facial is as follows.
Weekly Recommended Products
STEP ONE
Wash your face with your morning or evening cleanser. Apply a small amount of MINT BUFFING BEADS to damp skin. Follow instructions on back of tube. (Use once with your 3-step mini facial, and twice on its own; or 3 times a week, if you don’t perform your mini facial.)
STEP TWO
Apply a thin coat of INTENSIVE FIRMING SERUM. Masks are designed to push serums into the skin, which is why you will get better results with your Mini Facial by using a skin serum underneath the mask.
STEP THREE
Apply a thin coat of PURE RADIANCE MASK to entire face and neck. Let dry for 10-20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and apply your evening moisturizer and eye cream.
