Wash, Treat, Moisturize.....repeat!

So what is the big trick to clear, radiant, skin???

Consistency....yes, consistency. 

You can buy many products and pay for treatments, but at the end of the day your skin will always crave more. The most successful way to clear your skin and give it a natural glow is to give it what it needs every morning and night. Doing so will allow your skin to get rid of any makeup, dirt, or impurities it catches through the day and finally BREATHE. You can always add a treatment here or there for any extra boost!

So now I'm sure you are wondering what exactly you need to be consistent with. Listed below are the basic steps you can follow to start your journey to beautiful skin.

1. Cleanse

First you must clear your skin of any makeup, dirts, or oils that could be clogging your pores. Doing so will allow all following steps to penetrate deeper into your skin. I don't recommend getting to fancy with the cleanser, just find one for your skin type.

 For example:

If you have dry skin, get a cream cleanser. 

For oily skin, get a foaming cleanser.

Combination skin can use a gel cleanser.

2. Treatment

The treatment is what will make the biggest difference in your skin and where I recommend to drop a little extra. In addition to a daily serum add an exfoliate that you can use every 3 or 4 days to remove dead skin and clean your pores. Look below for recommendations:

Acne prone skin - Buy a treatment with salicylic acid or willow bark that will go into your pores and clean them out. 

Clogged Pores- Look for a product with glycolic acid that will remove dead skin cells and allow clogged dirt and oils to release. Also add a mud mask to your routine to pull out the dirt once you have removed your dead skin cells.

Dry skin- Use a hydrating serum or mask that add additional moisture to the skin

Dull skin- Look for a Vitamin C serum that will give your skin a daily boost and add radiance. Glycolic acid also helps because it is removing dead skin and showing your new, youthful, skin.

3 Moisturize

It is very important to finish with a moisturizer. EVEN FOR OILY SKIN. The moisture hydrates the skin in addition to any other benefits it offers. If you are oily it is especially important because more than likely your skin is producing so much oil to compensate for your dry skin! I would also recommend to sample a oil moisturizer. Keep in mind, oils break oils. 

4. Protect

For morning use find either a moisturizer or spf that you can use to protect your skin. Sun protection is the #1 defense against aging.
