I know what it feels like to have pimples and irritated skin. I lived with red, sensitive, acne prone skin for most of my teenage and young adult life. And I know what a struggle it can be trying to find the right products for your skin.
Believe me girl, I get you. I know how it feels because I’ve sooooo been there.
In my quest to heal my acne and find products that worked well for my ski. ,In my teenage journey I’ve tried everything I could think of. I’ve bought loads of skincare products over the years, some natural and some 100% not natural products from the drugstore and supermarket including pore cleansing glue strips, funny brightly colored scrubbers, several different types of odd shaped sponges, weird tools, and I even tried a few wacko tips from random blogs like using toothpaste as a spot treatment – lol! Please don’t try that at home!
I was desperate, so I tried everything.
Can you relate?
Now as Beauty Therapist I know how to help acne prone skin and achieve healthy skin.
GOAL = CLEAR + HEALTHY SKIN
Finding the right products for your skin makes a HUGE difference.
Of course there are many internal and external factors that contribute to sensitive skin and acne. It is important to look at stress levels, diet, exercise, how much water you drink, environmental issues like exposure to toxins and pollution, allergies, and even genetics to fully understand and heal your skin holistically.
Our goal is to help you achieve your most healthy, clear, balanced, and radiant skin.
Are you ready for skin that just glows?
Glowing skin is healthy skin.
We know how to get you there.
So let’s do this!
Our 3 Step approach can help you heal your breakouts by taking your skincare routine back to the basics, with an easy am/pm system to follow for success.
Keep it simple and consistent, and watch your skin transform.
CLEANSE, TONE + MOISTURIZE
Following our 3-Step System of Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturize twice per day gives your skin the stable, nurturing foundation it needs to find a healthy balance naturally.
- Step 1
Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanser or Mesoestetic Purifying Muse - Step 2
Medik8 Pore Minimizing Tonic, Refresh Toner, Mesoestetic hydratonic mist - Step 3
Active serum+ moisturiser to be chosen for your kin type
If your skin is totally out of whack, inflamed, overly sensitive, or broken out we recommend following these 3 simple steps twice daily for a week or two. Refrain from using other facial products during this time except our Medik8 Blemish SOS or Dr Eckstein Azulen paste Acne Spot Treatments on pimples. Once your skin has calmed down and found a natural balance, you can slowly begin to add other products into your skincare routine one by one.
If possible, or as much as possible during the first 1-2 weeks while your skin resets, try not to use makeup and sunscreen. Both makeup and sunscreen can clog pores and aggravate acne and sensitive skin conditions. If you’re going to to be out in the sun, you’ll most likely need sunscreen. Just do your best and pay attention to how your skin reacts, and remove it as soon as you are out of the sun.
Once your skin normalizes and resets, you can add in other products slowly so you’re able to figure out if you are sensitive/reactive to a specific product so you can eliminate that irritant from your routine
From the 3 step foundation, you can supplement your skincare routine with a seasonal and/or skin-type specific serum 1-2 times daily. Add a facial mask 1-2 times per week to complete your customized ritual for healthy, glowing skin.
Within the first week you will see and feel your skin begin to reset, as it’s nurtured by nature, back into balance.
We suggest that you take a little extra time for your facial care routine .Give your face a gentle massage. Facial massage is beneficial for healthy lymph flow which reduces puffiness and inflammation, aids in oxygenation and detoxification of your skin cells.
You can use ASAP Deluxe Facial Cloth followed by appropriate cleanser to remove makeup, but be really careful and gentle around any active pimples. Deluxe Facial Cloth will effectively remove all traces of makeup cleansers, so no need for scrubbing and then follow with right tonic, serum and moisturiser.
Even if your skin is on the oily side, you still need moisturizer. Not using moisturizer actually aggravates oily skin, causing your sebaceous glands to overreact and over-produce oil. This type of oil imbalance is often accompanied with redness, irritation, generally unhappy skin, along with an increased likelihood of clogged pores and breakouts.
Use this skincare system as a healthy foundation for your daily routine and remember to come back to the basics if your acne and irritation flare up again and have you monthly facials to professionally cleanse, detox and rejuvenate your skin
