A Comprehensive Guide to a Nightly Skincare Routine
As women, we know that bedtime routines involve more than just brushing our teeth and snuggling into bed. Get ready for beautiful, healthy skin by following these helpful tips:
1st step: remove all your make up from the day. We love our newest oil-based cleanser, Oleo-Gel Cleanser. It features Blue Tansy Oil, Watermelon Seed, and Jojoba Oil for a super hydrating cleanse. Once massaged into the skin (lifting makeup and cellular debris), add a few drops of water and it turns into a luxurious milky fluid that can be rinsed away easily. This face cleanser can be used both as a makeup remover and primary face cleanser too! It will depend on your skin type (normal, dry, sensitive).
2nd step: cleanse skin. Sleeping in your makeup could cause a build up of dirt and bacteria from your day and cause unsightly breakouts. We recommend using a pure face wash, such as Soothing Coconut Milk Cleanser, which is good for even the most sensitive skin. Be sure to use a warm (not hot!) washcloth and be gentle with it. If your skin tone is uneven, try cleansing with Bright Skin Nourishing Cleanser. This cleanser contains two actives that helps inhibit the enzyme responsible for brown pigmentation.
3rd step: exfoliate. An important step in your weekly routine. This step helps your skin look brighter and more clear. Avoid grainy and harsh scrubs which can irritate the skin (especially sensitive skin) and choose a product that is more gentle but still gets the job done, such as AHA Exfoliating Mint Cleanser. This cleanser also doubles as a exfoliant. It is a gentle AHA cleanser/exfoliant which contains lactic, tartaric and malic acids that gently removes the buildup of dead skin cells. The UltraPure Cosmetic line is a great go-to line for those who have intolerance to gluten and soy.
4th step: Nourish your skin with a serum. Serums go deeper into the skin's layers than moisturizers. They are often good for brightening, anti-aging and sometimes acne. We love the Line Erase Peptide6 Serum by UltraPure Cosmetics, which utilizes the latest in peptide technology. Peptides do a host of wonderful things to keep skin looking young! You don't have to grow old gracefully!
5th step: moisturize (if needed) with a light facial lotion that won't clog your pores. Avoid cosmetics with harsh chemicals, propylene glycol, or parabens. A daily moisturizer like UltraPure Cosmetic's Essential Moisture with Snow Mushroom is ideal for all skin types, but specifically designed for sensitive skin. This cream continues to protect skin after the cream is absorbed.
Now get some shut eye! Let your skin rejuvenate while you sleep!
