Healthy Facial Routine

Building Your Perfect Skin Care Routine

Step 1: Know Your Skin Type

The right routine starts with knowing what kind of skin you have. Then you'll know how to take care of it.

• Dry skin is flaky, scaly, or rough.
• Oily skin is shiny, greasy, and may have big pores.
• Combination skin is dry in some spots (cheeks) and oily in others (forehead, nose, and chin).
• Sensitive skin may sting, burn, or itch after you use some makeup or other products.
• Normal skin is balanced, clear, and not sensitive.

 

Step 2: Cleaning Normal/Combo Skin

Don't just grab whatever soap is in the shower or at the sink to wash your face. Apply our Superfood Cleansing gel with your fingertips. Don't scrub your face. Rinse with plenty of warm water, then pat dry. If your skin dries out or gets oily, try a different cleanser.

 

Step 2: Cleaning Dry Skin

For this skin type, use our Hydrating Milk Cleanser. Gently wash your skin, then rinse with plenty of warm water. Don't use hot water -- it removes the natural oils from your face faster. Try exfoliating once a week to get rid of flaky skin cells. It will make your skin look clearer and more even.  

 

Step 2: Cleaning Oily Skin

Use our oil-free foaming Clarifying Enzyme cleanser to wash your face. Rinse with plenty of warm water. You may want to use our Enzyme Toning Mist after. These products can remove extra oil, which makes your face less shiny, and help keep skin clean.

 

Step 2: Cleaning Sensitive Skin

Wash your face with our Repairing Cream Cleanser and rinse with warm water. Don't rub your skin with a towel -- gently pat it dry. Exfoliating may irritate sensitive skin.

 

Step 3: Moisturize

You may think you're too young to need moisturizer -- or your skin is too oily -- but all skin types need one every day. Apply it while your skin is still damp from washing or rinsing to help seal in moisture. If you have acne or your skin is oily, find a moisturizer that's lightweight and oil-free, so it won't block your pores.
