the PROPER skincare steps

You may be wondering what to do with all of the products sitting on your bathroom counter and how to achieve glass skin with all of the money you've spent.

First things first, a good makeup remover. Removing your makeup or debris from the day is a crucial step before cleansing the skin. This helps to properly clean the skin. It's just like sweeping before you mop your floors. Micellar water will do the trick!

Cleansing the skin with a milky cleanser and cold water is critical to protecting the barrier while also managing to remove the germs from the day. 

An exfoliating toner is the best way to gently exfoliate daily. Harsh scrubs will create micro-tears in the skin. A big no-no! (lotionp50 is my favorite exfoliating toner) 

Masking is a great way to boost the skin in between your appointments with your esthetician. This step is usually done after you exfoliate the skin. 

Serums are used to treat the skin. Anytime you hear the word serum, think treat. Every person needs a hydration serum no matter where they live. We are all slightly dehydrated. 

Creams are used to often nourish and protect the skin. Typically the last step in a routine as its molecular structure is the largest leaving it so no product can penetrate after this last step is applied. Depending on the time of day sunscreen may be your last step to protect the skin. Be sure to use sunscreen that has UVA/UVB and blue light protection.
