A simple three step routine

While some may think adding more products to their routine will lead to beautiful skin, it can sometimes lead to irritation in the long-term. Over time, skin can become stressed by being overloaded with an excessive multi-step routine. 

Whether you’re experiencing skin sensitivity due to over-layering, have had a bad reaction to one particular product or simply want to reduce the time spent on your skincare ritual, our three-step routine may be the answer! This blog will guide you through the process of stripping-back and designing a simple routine tailored to your specific skin care needs and goals and leave you feeling radiant. 

The fundamentals to an easy three-step routine:

Cleanse:

The foundation of any skincare routine is a good cleanser. It's essential to choose a cleanser that effectively removes dirt and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.

For: clearer skin:  Clarifying Cleansing Oil 

For brighter skin:  Rose Geranium Cleansing Oil

Use an active:

Following the cleanse, target specific skin ‘issues’ such a dryness, acne or dullness using a product containing active ingredients. Common active skincare ingredients include: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and amongst others, vitamins A, C and E. Sticking to one product here will be beneficial as the overuse of actives can damage the skin.

For: clearer skin:  Radiance Reveal Mask

For brighter skin:  Brightening Hyaluronic Serum

Lock-in moisture:

Finish by wrapping the skin in a layer of moisture to protect and retain the all of the goodness from the previous step. You can use this easy three-step skin care routine either in the morning before applying make-up or in the evening before you go to sleep.
