5-STEP SKINCARE ROUTINE THAT YOU’LL LOVE

INTRODUCTION

Are you feeling overwhelmed😩, confused😕 and frustrated😖 by the many skincare routine steps most skincare brands offer, even some as complex as eight or 12 steps? Then, relax. We present a simple 5-step skincare routine that is easy to follow and result-orientated for both men👨🏽 and women👩🏽.

But before you start on the steps, I want you to think about your skincare goals. What are you trying to achieve with your skincare routine? For example, if you have oily skin, your goal should be to manage that extra shine. And if you have dry skin, you may want to keep it hydrated and get that coveted glow. Once you have a goal, you can gather products to help you achieve it.

One last thing before we dive in, skincare results don’t happen overnight!! But, the more you take care of your skin, the better your skin will look and feel in due time. So set aside some time in the morning and evening to invest in your skincare game. It will pay off, trust me! This routine will keep your skin healthy and glowing at every age.

Discover how these basic skincare routine steps can up your beauty regimen.

Skincare Routine Step 1. Wash with a gentle cleanser

During the day, our skin goes through a lot. Dead skin, dirt, oil and all the environmental stressors and impurities are on the skin. Cleansing with a gentle cleanser helps rid all these impurities and leaves the skin glowing.

The rest of the skincare products can soak in well and make them even more effective by beginning with a clean skin base.

Recommended gentle cleanser:

Rice Milk And Salicylic Acid Face Cleanser
Ageless Belle® Organic Bath Soap

Skincare Routine Step 2. Use an Alcohol-free Toner

Skincare has evolved, and toners without alcohol are a must-have for every skin! Toner gives your skin an extra shot of nutrients to prepare it for the next steps in your routine. It’s not for “removing the remaining dirt or balancing the pH”, as some say. Instead, the skin is well-cleansed, and pH is balanced after using a pH-balanced cleanser!

When it all started long ago, people used toners to balance the skin’s pH after using an alkaline soap product for cleansing or any other product that was not balanced. Our face cleansers tend to be more pH-balanced and gentle, so toners have evolved into a skincare category. The reformulated toners of today target a varying array of skin concerns.

Recommended alcohol-free Face Toners:

Neroli Rooibos Beauty Tonic (Toner)
Neroli Troubled Skin Toner

Skincare Routine Step 3. Apply A Face Serum

Serums are highly concentrated formulas that address specific skin issues. As a result, they offer powerful benefits for your skin. This explains why serums are the most expensive products in your skincare routine! Although we have a variety of serums, your choice depends on what works for you.

Remember to read the labels to understand what you put on your skin. The benefits you are getting, and what works with what. Some skincare actives do not work well together.

Recommended Face Serum:

HA Liftonin® Collagen Boost Serum

Skincare Routine Step 4. Moisturize

Do not skip this step. Moisturize, moisturize and moisturize. You may ask why the emphasis? This is because moisturizers are not formulated to make your skin oily but are made to keep your skin hydrated. Whether you have oily or dry skin, moisturizing is a must.

Moisturizers help nourish and hydrate your skin and seal all the goodness you have put onto your face in the serum step of your skincare routine. In addition, other moisturizers offer additional benefits like soothing, brightening and anti-ageing, which you can opt for if you need an added boost of nourishment or skin-healing benefits. 

Face Elixir/Oil functions as emollients and occlusives. These emollients add moisture, and occlusives lock in moisture.

Face oils being plant oils, are rich in antioxidants and helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reversing the damage caused by the sun’s harmful UV rays and environmental pollutants. In addition, these oils restore our skin’s natural strength and firmness to promote healthy, radiant skin.

Facial oils work alongside the skin’s natural oils to balance skin complexion, lock in moisture, and reduce the skin’s natural sebum production, with many other benefits. Face oil also offers a  perfect primer/base for your makeup.

We recommend using face elixir/oil as a step of your daily skincare routine by applying two to three drops of face oil according to your skin type and problems in the morning routine after applying your moisturizer. (There is a big talk about which one comes first). Sunscreen and makeup come after the oil. Face oil can also be used at nighttime to preserve the skin’s hydration and boost its elasticity, nourishment, and rejuvenation.

Recommended Face moisturizer and Face Elixir/Oil:

Radiance Boost Moisturizer
Remodelling Elixir With Co-Enzyme Q10 (Face Oil)
Troubled Skin Elixir (Face Oil)

Skincare Routine Step 5. Protect with A Broad-spectrum Sunscreen

Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ is a final and vital step in the morning routine. However, this step is unnecessary for the night routine: no UV rays at night. So, if you only have time to do one of these steps, this is the one! Sunscreen is a must-have skincare product, according to skin experts. 

Protecting your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays is crucial regardless of how cloudy or rainy it is outside. Just because you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean the harmful UV rays are absent!

Recommended Sunscreen:

La Roche-Posay Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50+

FINAL THOUGHT

Whilst the steps above make up the basis of a simple skin routine, adding additional steps as and when needed is not bad. For example, a chemical exfoliation once or twice a week will do your skin good to help regenerate the skin faster.

You can also add a spot treatment if your skin is acne-prone to help control your breakouts.

The rule of thumb is not always about piling on tons of skincare products but finding quality, effective products that work for your skin. But, of course, what works for your BFF might not work for you😲!

All our Ageless Belle® products are designed for men and women and contain no artificial fragrances, alcohol, or parabens. They are non-toxic.

Our products are formulated by us right here in Kenya, using extensive research, so be assured you’re using effective products made by one of you.

Keep glowing, and be ageless💚 xoxo.
