MORNING
Step 1: Cleanser
The first step to a glowing complexion is to cleanse the skin of dirt, dead skin cells, and impurities. This will allow the active ingredients to absorb deeper, improve texture, and reduce buildup in your pores.
Step 2: Toner
This step is to balance the pH in the skin. Keep in mind this step is optional as toner may not be the best fit for you. The experts at MedAesthetics can help determine what is best for your skin type.
Step 3: Eye Care
Only use products indicated for the eyes in this area. The skin around our eyes is thin and sensitive and needs to be treated with care.
Step 4: Serum
Rule of thumb is to always go from the thinnest to thickest products. Your serums often have the highest amount of active ingredients which will help achieve your skincare goals.
Step 5: Moisturizer
Moisturizers lock in hydration and help preserve the integrity of your skin’s barrier function, reducing inflammation, sensitivity and dehydration. Essential for healthy skin!
Step 6: Mineral SPF
Mineral SPF should be applied daily as the last step of your routine before applying makeup. If you are outside or in direct sunlight you must reapply every few hours.
