The Pillars of Skin Health

Not sure what products you should include in your daily skin care routine?

Every skin care regimen should consist of these 6 steps to achieve and maintain healthy skin!

Cleansing

Cleansing is the first step of all skin care routines and is beneficial in a number of ways. Cleansing is so important as it deeps cleans and gets rid of all the excess dirt, oil, makeup and impurities you’ve encountered throughout the day. Without cleansing properly, your skin will be more prone to breakouts, dehydration and premature aging.

Skinbetter Cleansing Gel is a mild, foaming gel cleanser that gently and thoroughly cleanses the skin and removes makeup. Suitable for all skin types. it is fragrance, soap and sulfate free.

Exfoliating

As we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down. This means that the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. Proper exfoliation removes the layer of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This allows other skincare products to penetrate more deeply into the skin which makes them more effective. A regular exfoliating routine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy.

Antioxidants

Protect your skin by incorporating an antioxidant serum into you daily morning routine. Antioxidants may benefit the skin by preventing or slowing aging and cell damage from free radicals.
