Radiant skin gives confidence! Doing your skincare is an act of self care and self love! Make it a beautiful ritual. Teach your children, get them in the habit of cleansing and moisturizing. Mask together. Summary: Cleanse 2x, Hydrating Mist, Serums, Hydration Mask option or skip and Eye Cream, Moisturizer, and SPF
Let’s Start with Cleanser
We all know cleansing is the first thing, and to use cool to lukewarm water. Apply cleanser, massage thoroughly, and even allow it to sit on your skin a minute, rinse and pat dry. If you are removing heavy makeup, you may want to do two cleanses. Don’t forget neck and decolletage!
I personally love to put Osmosis Lift Away Cleansing Balm on and then jump in the shower, massaging it in and using it as a hydration mask also. I use an amount close to a quarter size. It makes my dry skin happy.
If you use Osmosis Purify, you will definitely need this cleanser to sit on your skin to do it’s job, which is to break up dead skin cells. Massaging it in helps the action. A pearl size amount is all you need, it has a lot of frothiness. Pro Tip: Add a small amount of Polish Exfoliating Mask for extra brightening and exfoliation.
How to Tone Just Right
Next is your toner or mist. I never recommend one that is acid, your best bet no matter your skin type is hydration. Make sure you feel it on your skin, so it may take 5-6 pumps, including neck and decolletage.
My Secrets to Serums
Serums are next. I use 2-3 every morning and night – Osmosis Renew, Replenish and Catalyst AC11 are my go-to serums. With any serums, apply thinnest to thickest. But as you know you can mix Osmosis thick serums (Renew, Clarify, Correct, Catalyst) together and then apply. However, if you are using Stemfactor and Rescue, apply those first, separately. Don’t forget neck and decolletage. Massage them in by hand or with Epic tool before adding the next one or next group. Use your mist if you need to, just make sure it no longer feels tacky. Spend a few minutes with this step, you are so worth it.
Masking for Extra Benefits
If you are feeling like doing extra credit, let’s mask!!! A mask could be 5-7 pumps of Catalyst for some extra brightening. Tropical Mango Mask heals the soul with its addicting, yummy all natural scent of mangos. Remedy Healing Balm with it’s wild cherry bark healing properties and scent is great for healing parched skin or for holistic slugging. Polish is also a great choice when we need a little extra exfoliation, a little brightening – that yummy Cranberry Scent is just amazing, however with Polish, we would want to do it prior to serums. Hydrating masks and balms push serums into the skin further, so no need to worry. Either leave on all night or rinse off after 10-15 minutes. If leaving on all night, skip the rest of these steps.
The Eyes Have It!
For age reversal, or prevention, use a tiny amount of Catalyst AC 11 right on your lids. Finish with Illuminate for a hydrating and plumping eye cream. Dot a pearl sized amount of Illuminate on the inside tips of your orbital bone, lightly pat in. Use a pearl size amount for around and on your lips for all night or all day conditioning. I also love Sorella’s Avocado Lip Treatment for lips – super hydrating.
Moisturizers 101
Finally we come to the moisturizers. I am in LOVE with facial oils! Osmosis Nourish and Immerse feel AMAZING!!! Layer on first or put a drop in your moisturizer. I love Enrich for night time and Hydrate for day. Feels so amazing!
Sun Protection
Last, but not least, in the morning, we need sunscreen. I use Osmosis Protect, zinc oxide, 30 spf and it works well, even when I’m outside. Sometimes, zinc oxide can leave a white film. To prevent this, we need to warm it in our hands for a moment. Apply to forehead, cheeks, chin, neck and decolletage. Massage in until you can no longer see the white.
I live for all things skincare, never hesitate to ask me questions to get your routine just right!
