My Skincare Routine
It might sound a bit extreme, but as the LARGEST organ of your body, your skin could do with some pampering. I say pampering because anything that requires more than a swipe of soap and hot water is high maintenance to most people. But our skin does some amazing stuff for us, so I figure good skincare is just returning the favor!
Why Senegence Skincare?
All SeneGence SkinCare and Cosmetics contain SenePlex+, a kinetic enzyme that works to affect the way cells grow from the bottom layers of the skin to the top. SenePlex+ fights the signs of aging by supporting skin renewal. Verified by an independent lab, clinical testing performed over an eight-week period on 20 female subjects 18-55 years of age confirmed Normal to Dry Evening Moisturizer with SenePlex+ is highly effective in increasing skin renewal. Regular use results in remarkable improvements to skin, including skin smoothness, increased by 45%. Almost 33% more individuals with sensitive skin were able to use SeneGence SkinCare without irritation.
Here’s everything I do to make sure my skin is in tip-top shape:
MORNING ROUTINE
Dry 3 in 1 Cleanser: choosing the right cleanser is like choosing the right sheets for your bed. You want a cleanser that treats your specific skin and isn’t abrasive (throw out all your St. Ives Apricot Scrub ASAP). You want it to clean but not strip your skin of its natural oils. Unsure of what skin type you are? Take this quiz to find out!
Climate Control: once you’ve cleansed your skin, you want a product that hydrates the skin and keeps moisture in so that your skin looks plump and refreshed.
NeoTight™ Revitalizing Eye Serum: for your under eye, you want a lightweight product that is going to pack in moisture as well as go to work on fine lines and wrinkles. This serum combats the appearance of crow’s feet, sagging eyelids, dark circles, wrinkles, and bags for eyes that look more energized and rested. Is also has OrchiStem™, which helps improve the appearance of sagging and drooping skin for a more contoured, lifted look, and Inst’Tight™, which instantly minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and smooths skin for a filter-like look.
Dry Daytime SeneDerm Moisturizer: a good moisturizer does 2 things: hydrate the skin and provide a barrier against the outside elements that your skin comes in contact with throughout the day!
EyeLuminator: this is the perfect blend of EyeCrème and MakeSense® Foundation Pearlizer to help brighten and highlight while moisturizing and perking up your tired eyes!
SeneSun® Hydrating Facial Sunscreen SPF 20: this mattifying formula locks in moisture while protecting the skin against UVA/UVB rays. Don’t skip sunscreen. EVER!
LipVolumizer: I use volumizer before I put anything on my lips!
Once I’ve done my morning routine, my skin is prepped for the day whether I choose to do makeup or go bare-faced!
Nighttime Routine
Fooops! SenseCosmetics Color Removing Wipes: these wipes are packed with Fooops! Color Remover that is specially formulated to gently wipe away makeup, including waterproof LashSense® mascara.
Normal-Oily 3 in 1 Cleanser: nighttime is your chance to get all the crap off your face. And if you’re really dedicated, the time to incorporate a double cleanse. The benefit of double cleansing is that the first cleanser will break down any makeup, remove dirt and excess oils from the day and clean your skin. The second cleanser will address your particular skin type or concern and should have ingredients to hydrate, smooth or exfoliate, and treat acne.
Advanced SenePlex+ Renewal Serum with Retinol: If there’s one thing every derm and skin expert agree on, it’s retinol. Retinol works by encouraging the rapid-fire turnover of skin cells to reveal new skin underneath, exfoliating the top layer and penetrating deeper to boost collagen production, increase elasticity, and purge oil buildup from within the pores. But work your way up! Don’t use this every single night to start out. Introduce into your routine 1-2 times a week and increase at your own pace.
Climate Control: I use this again to pack in moisture at night. Remember, your face is going to be rubbing against sheets and blankets - we want to preserve as much moisture as we can!
NeoTight™ Revitalizing Eye Serum: nighttime is when your face is the most relaxed and this really optimizes the effects of products.
Rejuvenating Anti-Wrinkle Serum: this is a ninja at night! I use this to target fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Nangai Oil: night is also when you want to pack in that extra moisture. Nangai oil is packed with essential fatty acids that will help your skin maintain moisture and elasticity.
Dry Evening SeneDerm Moisturizer: locking in moisture is key for your nighttime routine!
Lifting & Firming Neck Cream: sure, you’re using anti-wrinkle stuff on the obvious areas but the neck and chest often go unattended. This cream is infused with advanced anti-aging complexes, it helps the neck and jawline look tighter and more sculpted.
EyeCreme: this is the thinnest and most delicate skin on the face - this creme helps!
LipVolumizer: morning and night!
Overnight Lip Mask: the last thing I put on at night and the first thing I can tell made a difference in the AM!
AS NEEDED:
Spot On > for active acne (not to be mixed with retinol! If I have a blemish I’ll use spot-on in the morning and still retinol at night)
Brightening Multi-Vitamin Treatment > for acne scarring
SeneDerm Facial Resurfacer > for exfoliation (2-3x a week - can dilute with water if you have sensitive skin)
Detoxifying and Moisturizing Mask > for pore detoxification (1-2x a week. Especially good for acne)
Golden Radiance Peel-Off Mask (2-3x a month - tightens skin & boosts radiance)
..
I know that’s a lot.. a full routine.. skincare is self-care for me. To ease into it… always start my customers off with a basic skincare set.. it comes with a cleanser, a daytime moisturizer, and an evening moisturizer in their skin type along with an eye cream & climate control. Then we add in anti-aging & treatment items as necessary!
