Something that I get asked a lot is how to layer your skincare. It’s so important to learn because it makes a huge difference, so here we go!

 

1. Serums

 

2. Antioxidants

 

3. Moisturizer

 

4. Sunscreen is always the last step

 

 

Tips:

Let you serums & antioxidants sink into your skin before you add a moisturizer. ( I usually brush my teeth then add my moisturizer)

Always Always Always remember to put product on your neck & décolleté

To tone or not to tone….

Yes you do need a toner.

Toners help skin return to its natural ph level. PH is the balance between acidity & alkalinity. Skin is at its healthiest when its slightly acidic. Acid prohibits bacterial growth that can cause acne. Alkaline skin is more prone to wrinkles & sun damage. A toner also assists penetration of treatments and moisturizers. If you are interested in seeing results from your serums and moisturizers, tone before using them.

Another benefit of using a toner is to get the hard water residue off of the skin.  Chlorine and hard minerals are left on your skin after you rinse off the cleanser products.  These minerals can dry your skin & cause wrinkles.

Clarisonic Radiance Brush Head

The Radiance Brush Head is specifically engineered with extra fine bristles to deliver a luxurious and highly-effective cleansing experience.  This unique and patented brush head helps to remove sebum and surface-level pigmentation to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dullness. If you already have a Clarisonic, you can simply attach the Radiance brush head to your handle.

The new brush head is more luxe and plush, and delivers more than 300 movements per second, meaning the cleansing products are penetrating your skin without irritating it. I purchased my new brush head at Nordstrom’s about a week ago & I can already notice a difference on my skin.
