For starters, yes, there is a huge difference in caring for your skin in the morning versus at night. The products you use may be different and the steps you follow will be different. Some people think just washing their face with soap and water will cut it, while others do nothing at all and go to bed with their makeup on (a big no-no!). It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the aisles upon aisles of skin care products that await you at beauty counters and drug stores so let’s break down exactly what you’ll need and when you’ll need to use it.
IN THE MORNING…
Since this is the time that you prep yourself to go out into the world, the main focus in the morning should be the shield your skin from the harmful UV rays from the sun. Your second goal is to try to minimize the impact that the environmental elements will have on your skin. So start your skin care routine with a great cleanser, such as our Clean and Clear Purifying Cleanser. This cleanser will smooth, hydrate, nourish, and reduce redness all without drying the skin or causing irritation.Natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids pair with sustainable Bamboo Stem Powder that deliver effective physical exfoliation of the dead skin cells and promote the growth of new and younger cells while vitamin C and Green Tea penetrate into the skin along with nutrients and moisturizing natural oils to reveal a more lustrous and glowing complexion.
Follow the scrub with a powerhouse of a serum. The right serum should contain antioxidant properties that will penetrate the skin prior to your moisturizer and sun screen. A fantastic moisturizer should be applied after the serum. Our Skin-Perfecting Daily Moisturizer is lightweight yet powerful enough to provide long-lasting hydration and protect your skin from free radical damage.
As your final step in your morning skin care routine, you should apply a broad spectrum sunscreen. While we are focusing on facial skin care, please do not forget to apply sunscreen to all of your skin. It’s not just your face that needs protection or can show aging.
BEFORE BED…
Now that the day is done, your focus should shift from protecting your skin during the day to rejuvenation and collagen production at night. To start the night off right, be sure to wash off the day’s dirt and grime by using a mild cleanser, such as our Multi-Perfecting Facial Scrub . You may use the same one you used in the morning or you can switch things up to gently exfoliate dead skin cells while infusing skin with vitamins and moisturizers to protect, hydrate, and illuminate. Follow the evening scrub with a serum that is dedicated to renewing your skin cells.
After you have exfoliated and cleaned your skin, now is the time to apply a nice cream that is dedicated to repairing and reviving your skin while you sleep. This product will help bring the health back to your skin and counteract all of the harsh pollutants that tried to combat your skin during the day.
