Use Toner Right After Cleansing
While cleansing the skin morning and night is an essential component to achieving a clear complexion, failure to moisturize right away causes lost hydration that can leave skin looking dry and dull. Combat this issue by using a toner to hydrate the skin cells before moving on to the next step in your beauty regimen. For best results, look for an alcohol-free toner that won't dry or irritate sensitive skin. As for the cleanser itself, seek a formula with plant-based ingredients that won't strip the natural moisture from your skin. You need it! We love hydrating with coconut oil, grapefruit extract for an even skin tone and chamomile flower to remove unwanted redness.
Incorporate Products With Energizing Ingredients
Look for ingredients that encourage circulation! It naturally declines as we age. Formulas that contain ginseng root extract, niacinamide, vitamin B12 and peppermint dilate the blood vessels resulting in a radiant glow to your complexion. Even better, these ingredients also help repair the damage caused by UV rays and other environmental irritants.
Repair Your Skin Barrier With Moisturizer
The skin's moisture barrier helps shield your delicate complexion from dirt, debris and drying! When this layer has been damaged, you may notice red, dry, sensitive or flaky skin. Repair your moisture barrier with a hyaluronic acid moisturizer. This all-star ingredient helps your skin cells lock in moisture so you'll stay dewy and hydrated day and night, without clogging pores and causing unwanted blemishes. What’s not to love about it! If you do get a pimple, treat it with non-drying plant extracts like lavender, tamanu and black cumin seed. Squalane is also a smart choice if your skin feels drab, dull and thirsty. Look for prickly pear seed oil to brighten skin, aloe juice to soothe irritation and licorice root extract to moisturize while removing damage-causing free radicals.
Exfoliate a Few Times a Week
Although exfoliating provides a shortcut to a healthy glow, too much of a good thing can cause damage. For most people, three to five exfoliation sessions each week is safe and effective. This process involves the removal of dead skin cells to reveal fresh new skin underneath, which immediately brightens the complexion and creates a younger appearance. Popular ingredients in exfoliating serums and scrubs include salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids. If you're new to these formulas, start slow to avoid irritating your skin!
Treat Yourself With DIY Facial Massages
Massaging your face is not only an incredible stress reliever, but also increases circulation and oxygen to the surface of the skin for a healthier appearance. Even just a quick massage with a rose quartz stone or jade roller helps your skin better absorb serum and moisturizers while alleviating toxins and puffiness. Using circular motions and moving upward from the chin to the forehead and back down again can help spread moisture and nutrients into parched, flaky skin.
With these five easy steps, you'll be on your way to achieving complexion #goals with a dewy, healthy glow like never before. Implement this simple regimen to discover a whole new world for your skin, the all natural way!
