New Year, New You: The Importance of Skincare Routines

What’s your New Year’s resolution? Ours is to continue helping you love your skin and glow from inside out! We're kicking off the year with some skincare education to help you start fresh. One of the best ways to keep your skin happy and healthy is by establishing a daily skincare routine. Let’s dive in!


Why bother with a routine? 

By committing to a skincare routine, you can address specific skin concerns, protect your skin from damage, and maintain a youthful, healthy complexion. 


Following a skincare routine can effectively address specific concerns like dryness, acne, aging, and more. While individual products can target issues on their own, using them together in a step-by-step process can enhance their effectiveness in tackling your skin’s unique needs.

Your skincare routine can also shield your skin from damage. Products enriched with SPF and moisture provide essential protection against harsh weather conditions year-round. By incorporating these into your routine, you'll keep your skin protected no matter the season!


Additionally, following a skincare routine helps the products you use work their magic and ensures you achieve a consistent, healthy glow. Many skincare products need to be used consistently to be effective and produce lasting results. Get the most out of your skincare investments by incorporating them into a routine.


How to build a routine 

There are many ways to build a routine, but every routine should include a few key steps: 

  1. Cleanse
    Start with a clean slate by cleansing as the first step of your routine. For a deeper clean, you can try “double cleansing,” washing your face twice! Shop Cleansers

  2. Tone
    Restore your skin’s natural pH level with a toner to enhance your skin’s barrier function. Shop Toners

  3. Treat
    Target your skin concerns with treatments. Depending on your goals and the products you're using, this step may only be needed a few times a week. Be sure to follow the instructions for the treatments you choose. Shop Treatments

  4. Moisturize
    Lock in the benefits of the previous steps by moisturizing. This keeps your skin hydrated and boosts the effectiveness of the products you're using!  Shop Moisturizers

  5. Protect (AM only)
    Lastly, protect your skin from the sun by applying SPF. You’ll only need to do this step in the morning. Shop SPF

Start the year with a skincare routine that works for you and enjoy healthy, glowing skin all year long!
