Updated: Creating A Skincare Routine

July 26, 2023

A skincare routine is unique to each person. What works for me may not work for you.

One of my quests is to learn more about the various skincare routines that are across the internet. It is amazing the span of simple to complex levels one can go through in an effort for glowing skin.

One thing I practice that you will hear echoed across many individuals, simple is better. In my opinion, you really only need three steps in your routine: to cleanse, to moisturize, and to apply an SPF. This is the basic routine that I suggest everyone should practice.

Now that we got that out of the way there are, of course, a few more steps that can be added to a routine to round out the overall benefits of other products that can help achieve a more balanced, glowing appearance.

These items are hydrating mists and essences; serums that may minimize the effects of the day-to-day hustle; and masks that may work to achieve a certain glow.

The graphic below, I created based on a personal routine that really is very fluid based on how my skin is feeling each day. I use it as a guide, but I'm certainly not beholden to it. Hopefully, it may give you some inspiration to build your own skincare routine.

Step 1. Cleanse. AM and PM.

Micellar Cleansing Water
Cleansing Balm - especially great for a 2-step cleanse in the evening!
Our Facial Oil even works as a great oil cleanser!
We also offer Cleansing Grains which offer a light exfoliating cleanse for a solid PM clean. I suggest to not use the grains and a mask during the same night.
Creamy Cleansers - offered in a variety of options (Oat, Charcoal - and SOON, Chlorella and Turmeric)

Step 2. Toner and/or Mist. AM and PM.

We will be elevating our current toner formulations in July/August 2023 to include a 2-in-1 blending a toner AND essence to gain the best of both!

OPTIONAL. After a cleanse and toner/essence, add a sheet mask for a little bit extra! I suggest after the cleansing portion of your routine and before beginning any serums, etc.

Step 3. Serums. AM and PM.

On the Daily Serum
Niacinamide10 Serum
Bakuchiol Alt-A Serum
Coming Jul/Aug 2023! Vitamin C Serum
Coming Jul/Aug 2023! Hyaluronic Acid Serum

What is great about my serums is that they can be used AM, PM, or both. Find the system that works for you!

Step 4. Eye Cream. AM and PM.

Golden Eye Cream with Coffee & Turmeric
Coming Soon! Golden Eye Oil

We will be elevating the eye cream soon! It won't change ingredients, so don't worry there, but I will be transitioning to a gel.

Step 5. Moisturizer and Oils. AM and PM.

Daily Moisturizer - with 2 options available - Rose and Oat
Glow Facial Oil

Step 6. SPF or Sleeping Mask. AM and PM.

SPF: use in the AM.
Overnight Jelly Mask (optional) - highly recommended!

Additional. Daily. Whenever you want!

Lip Scrub
Lip Balm
Lip Mask - this is great to use over a light layer of balm for bedtime!

Additional/Option. Once Weekly. PM.

An optional step, but highly recommended, a weekly mask to help exfoliate and cleanse those pores! If you choose to do more than once per week, listen to your skin!

-----

Just remember, no matter the skincare routine you build for you and your skin - listen to your skin! It truly does know best!

Have a beautiful day!
