Here are six essential steps that will leave your complexion glowing and vibrant

Step 1: Gentle but Effective Cleansing Effective skincare starts with a clean canvas. Choose a gentle cleanser tailored to your skin type to remove impurities without stripping away essential moisture. This truly sets the stage for the rest of your skincare routine. As someone who did not double cleanse for many years, I can attest- this will make a tremendous difference in the overall health of your skin.

Step 2: Exfoliate Wisely Say goodbye to dullness by incorporating exfoliation into your routine. Out of the 6 steps I list here, this alone will make *such a difference if you’re looking for glow. Opt for products with gentle exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to slough away dead skin cells, revealing a fresh, glowing complexion. You can learn more about chemical exfoliation by reading this blog post.

Step 3: Hydration is Key Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Try your best to drink plenty of water ( I’m working on this constantly!) and incorporate a high-quality moisturizer. When your skin needs that extra boost, indulge in a hydrating mask to give your skin an extra dose of nourishment. I love to apply a thick layer of this for 10-20 minutes or even as a leave on overnight treatment when I’m feeling particularly dry. In recent years I began misting my face throughout the days and that is such a nice hydration boost. I’m currently loving this beauty elixir for misting. Hydration is your secret weapon for a beautiful complexion.

Step 4: Sunscreen, Always Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by making sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Choose a product with at least SPF 30 and apply it generously. I always say, select a product you can afford to be generous with. There’s no point in purchasing a pricey sunscreen that you are using sparingly. Read more about SPF here

Step 5: Targeted Treatments Address specific skin concerns with targeted treatments. Whether it’s acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, invest in products such as serums, formulated to tackle your unique needs. Consistency is key in achieving noticeable results. This blog post will provide an intro to treatment serums.

Step 6: Beauty from Within Beautiful skin starts from within. Our habits matter! Embrace a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. Incorporate foods like berries, leafy greens, and fatty fish into your meals to provide your skin with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

And there you have it, 6 steps to incorporate for healthier skin. One thing to keep in mind-consistency and patience are key when it comes to improving your skin; give these efforts time to work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or share your success stories.

Here’s to your radiant glow.
