Acne Skin Care Routine: Three Simple Steps

Outbreaks are the worst. These unwanted guests emerge (literally) out of the blue and tend to go beyond their reception. While almost everyone experiences an outbreak in their life, acne is a chronic condition for some that continues into adulthood. And if adult outbreaks are not enough, finding an acne solution can be both stressful and disappointing. Before you throw in the towel, fight your breakouts with this three-step acne skin care routine from Eminence Organics.

Skin care routine for acne

Take the guesswork out of finding an acne solution Acne Advanced 3-Step Treatment System. Dermatologist Dr. Kally Papantoniou tells Hustle and bustle: "Acne skin care will focus on these four goals: cleansing, exfoliating, controlling bacteria, and maintaining a healthy skin barrier with good emollients." This three-step acne skin care includes a cleanser, face mask and moisturizer to treat acne and prevent future breakouts in 28 days.

Watch this In The Mix video to learn why Senior skin care trainer Natalie Pergar recommends using the Acne Advanced Treatment System to cleanse your complexion:

First step: cleaning

One of the most common mistakes in acne skin care: over-cleaning and over-removal. disc says: "Anyone with persistent acne should avoid cleaning their skin too often (more than twice a day), especially if you use a cleanser with a high concentration of astringents like alcohol or strong detergent surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate." Instead, opt for a gentle cleanser that removes impurities and replenishes the skin in one easy step.

Enter, Acne Advanced Cleansing Foam. This light liquid foam cleaner gently removes oil and removes clogged pores without affecting your skin's moisture barrier. Encapsulated salicylic acid (a BHA) exfoliates the skin, clogs the pores and offers temporary protection against breakouts. At the same time, a natural herbal mixture soothes the complexion and Provitamin B5 maintains the moisture balance. Vanessa T. says: “I remember that this would happen to other products: you came out of the shower and your face would be completely dry. Not this one. That's great."

Pro tip: Always (always) remove your makeup before going to bed. Dr. Papantoniou advises: "If you take the time to really take care of your skin at night, your skin can react and repair in the evenings during the restful hours of sleep … Never sleep with makeup."

Step two: treat

Follow your cleaning with an acne face mask. Beauty editors and dermatologists agree that treatments with effective ingredients like clay and sulfur are the best choice against breakouts. These acne ingredients not only fight pimples, they also prevent them from coming back and keep the skin clear for longer.

Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque is poured with not one but three types of cleaning clay. Together, they pull out impurities and absorb excess oil without removing the necessary moisture from the skin. Sulfur has natural antibacterial properties that help remove acne-causing bacteria from the pores and prevent the formation of new bacteria. Dermatologist Mona Gohara tells Marie Claire: "A characteristic feature of sulfur is its keratolytic properties, which enable it to break down the keratin in your skin. If excess sebum and bacteria clog your pores and cause a cit, the pore lining will not peel off properly, resulting in the formation of keratin. Sulfur helps regulate dandruff. “Add basil oil to soothe the complexion and you get a clear and calm looking complexion.

Pro tip: Skip the toothpaste trick. Dr. Joshua draftsman and Kenneth Howe say Women's health that ingredients that are not intended for skin care can irritate and dry your skin, which ultimately leads to more breakouts. If you're ready to swap home remedies for gentler solutions, you're in luck: Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque can also be used as a spot treatment. Christina B. tell us: "Before bed I apply it to all the breakouts I have and in the morning they are 80-90% gone, if not complete. "

Step three: apply hydrator

Hydration is the key to keeping acne-prone skin under control. DR. Eric Shweiger says to Bustle: "Even if it doesn't seem intuitive, don't stop hydrating if you have oily, acne-prone skin. If you skip the moisturizer, your skin dries out and bounces off with more oil production, which can actually lead to more breakouts. ”

However, not all moisturizers are created equal. When it comes to acne-prone skin, it's best to choose a weightless formula that moisturizes the skin without blocking it. The last step in your acne skin care is Acne Advanced Clarifying Hydrator. This ultra-light lotion is mixed with lotus extract, encapsulated salicylic acid and zinc hyaluronate to fight breakouts, reduce shine and moisturize the skin. It gets a soft, matt finish.

Pro tip: Resist the urge to pick. Picking and poking your pimples can leave long-lasting scars that are difficult to remove. If damage has already been done, Acne Advanced Clarifying Hydrator is on your side. This light hydrator is formulated with bearberry arbutin to reduce the appearance of acne-related dark spots and scars.

Skin Care Routine For Oily Skin: Everything You Need To Know

Oily skin can be a struggle. There is no greater (beauty) disappointment than starting the day with a fresh complexion that transitions into the oil slick area at noon. Fortunately, there are a few tips and tricks to keep your oily skin under control and keep your complexion fresh and clean all day. Here is our guide to maintaining a greasy complexion, including curated skin care for oily skin.

What makes the skin greasy?

Like dry skin or combination skin, oily skin is a genetic skin type. There is an inherited disposition to overproduce the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which triggers an excess of sebum production in the skin. We need sebum – the oily, waxy substance that lubricates the skin – to keep our moisture barrier intact, but overproduction can be problematic. Excess oil causes the pores to enlarge (when they expand to accommodate the amount of oil produced). If oil is trapped, it can combine with dead skin cells and bacteria on the surface of the skin, causing breakouts.Orange peel

Skin type test

There are some freebies that you have oily skin. It often shows the following properties:

  • Shiny looking
  • Greasy when touched
  • Orange peel-like texture with visible, enlarged pores
  • Prone to outbreak
  • Makeup feels like it slips off as soon as it's applied

Still not sure if you have an oily complexion? Try this 3-step test to determine your skin type:

  1. Clean and maintain
    Wash your face with your favorites Eminence Organics Cleaner and do not apply any additional product for at least one hour.

  2. Blot
    Take a clean piece of handkerchief and gently dab your T zone.

  3. Examine your skin
    If your skin feels comfortable (not tight) but there are residues on the tissue, your skin is probably oily.

How to repair oily skin

Oily skin can be genetic, but oil production can also be affected by hormones, stress, the environment, and seasonal changes. Here are some tips to keep oily skin at bay.

  1. Skip hard, drying ingredients
    Many of the products that claim to repair oily skin can make them worse. Most contain harsh ingredients that remove the skin's moisture barrier. While this makes your skin feel less oily, it often releases more oil to compensate for a dry complexion. When choosing a cleaning agent Very easily It is recommended that you follow this rule of thumb: “You should avoid detergents that contain harsh surfactants that remove too much oil from the skin and leave it so dry that it feels firm – and may only squeak when you put a finger over it pull. Some common surfactants are sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) and ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS). “Instead, choose natural and organic products that are formulated without harmful additives that deprive your skin of the moisture it needs.
  2. Adjust your diet
    Avoid alcohol and spicy foods that increase your heat index. These dilate the blood vessels and make you sweat, which gives your already smooth complexion sweat. Instead, camp on Foods like carrots, grapefruit and kale that are high in vitamin A and slow down oil production. And don't be afraid of greasy food. In fact, foods like salmon, tuna, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds, which are high in omega-3 fats, help regulate the hormone that controls oil production and keeps the skin balanced.
  3. Keep your skin care cool
    Eminence Organics president Boldijarre Koronczay recommends storing masks and moisturizers in the fridge to keep your complexion cool and oil-free. He says: "If you apply products directly from the refrigerator, your skin temperature stays lower, which reduces excess oil production."
  4. Embrace minimalism
    If you have oily skin, it may be time to rethink your makeup routine. Primers and liquid primers often contain silicones that clog and enlarge pores and worsen problems with oily skin. We recommend replacing your silicone primer with a natural alternative such as Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate, which uses lactic acid and natural extracts of red clover and ribose to achieve primer-like results. Instead of your preferred liquid foundation, Curls recommends using a mineral powder such as Sun Defense Minerals that "soaks up excess oil like a sponge".

Routine for the care of oily skin

One of the best ways to combat oily skin is through your skin care routine. Here are the skin care steps we prescribe to make your oily skin look fresh and dull.

  1. Double cleaning
    A myth of skin care that we have to destroy: oil cleaners make the skin greasier. In fact, they can improve the appearance of oily skin by absorbing excess sebum from its surface. Heidi Waldorf, MD tells Cosmopolitan: "It may not sound intuitive, but oil cleaners have been developed for oily skin types. The oil in the facial cleanser attracts the sebum of your skin so you can rinse both off without pulling your face off. “One of the best ways to give oily skin a thorough – but gentle – cleanse is to add a double cleanse to your skin care regimen. First remove excess oil and make-up with Stone Crop Cleansing Oil or Wildflower Cleansing Balm and then clean it to a deeper level with your favorite Eminence Organics detergent. For oily skin, Curls recommends using a facial detergent for problematic skin – such as Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser – that mattifies the appearance of the skin.

  2. Peeling (gentle)
    Exfoliation is one of the most important steps for oily skin – but don't go overboard. A gentle peeling helps to remove deposits on the surface of the skin and to clog and minimize the pores. Eminence Organics Product Support Representative and licensed beautician is responsible for a gentle but effective peeling Josie Barton recommends almond and mineral treatment. The finely shredded almonds in this treatment exfoliate the skin gently, while ground ivy firms and firms the skin to give it a porous-looking complexion.

  3. Use a clay or carbon face mask
    Everywhere, beauty editors swear by clay and carbon-based face masks to combat oily skin. Joshua Artist Craftsman, MD tells Shape: "Both ingredients help to pull out and absorb excess oil within minutes, which makes the skin more matt." We recommend masking with the Charcoal T-Zone Purifier side from Balancing Masque Duo. This deep cleansing face mask is made from kaolin clay and charcoal to remove dirt, oil and bacteria caused by excess oil. A botanical ingredient extracted from Buchu leaves reduces the oil and minimizes the pores for a smooth, matte look.

  4. Moisturize (yes, really)
    Adding moisture to already smooth skin may not be intuitive, but it is an important step in maintaining oily skin. Indeed, a lack of moisture can cause the skin to produce more sebum to maintain moisture. Stanley Kovak, MD tells SELF: "Believe it or not, a moisturizer adds moisture to the skin and minimizes the perception of the skin that it is too dry. Adding moisture to the skin actually reduces the oiliness as it slows down sebum production. "

    We recommend applying a light moisturizer to oily skin that has a double effect to minimize pores and control the oil. Some of our oily skin moisturizers:

I use it in conjunction with the Red Currant Protective Moisturizer and it really improves the game. My skin has never looked better!

The Double Cleansing Routine and Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser Review

uhhh Going home after a long day at work isn't it just the best? There is nothing more peaceful than going home after a long day and sitting in your favorite chair and watching your favorite show. There is one other favorite activity that I like to do when I return, namely removing my make-up. I agree that there were days when I committed the sin of sliding between sheets and going to bed without removing makeup, but I learned my lesson the hard way.

Today I'm going to review one of the new products I've tried – CLARINS Gentle foaming cleanser for combination skin or oily skin. The price of this is $ 26 for 130 ml. The main ingredients for this facial cleanser are gypsophila extract and tamarind. The Micro bio ecolia extracted from natural sugar help to maintain the skin's natural moisture balance and cleanse the skin from the inside out. A small product of only one pea size goes a long way.

The cleaning supplies comes in a light green plastic tube. The texture is creamy and light, like all foaming cleaning agents. This must be massaged on damp skin and forms a good foam after mixing with water. My skin feels really clean after use and I can say that every pore is deeply cleaned because my face looks very fresh and clear.

Apparently it is low in alcohol and sulfates because my skin reacts poorly with these two ingredients. It contains glycerin, water and stearic acid in high concentrations, hence the slippery feeling and also the lack of a dry feeling after use. The scent of this product is very pleasant, but not strong to bother you.

Washing my face with this product is actually the second step in my DC night routine (double cleansing). For those who are not aware of it double cleaningLet me say it's a simple process, but we often ignore it.
First round I remove my makeup with micellar water, or sometimes even use an oil-based makeup remover for strong makeup. As soon as I have removed all of the makeup, I use a water-based cleanser (currently this facial cleanser) and there I devote all my attention.

The second step Double cleaning should never be as quick as a splash. You actually need to massage your cleanser in for a minute to remove all toxins and makeup. It's always the best idea to use lukewarm water to clean your face. You don't want your skin to be irritated by extremely cold or hot water. By taking a few minutes to clean your face and using two types of cleanser, you are actually helping your skin stay flawless. Because both the first layer of sebum, heavy makeup, sunscreen and deeper layers of Pore ​​bacteria If they are removed during double cleaning, you can protect the skin from acne-causing bacteria and other skin problems.

Back to the product, I have used several facial cleansers and generally do not clean them thoroughly. CLARINS Gentle foaming cleanser for combination skin or oily skin. Cleanses my skin without irritating or making it very dry. It does an excellent job of ridding my skin of blackheads. In winter, however, you need to add a good moisturizer to this detergent.

A total of, that's a real one Effective and Deep cleansing facial wash This removes my make-up and dirt from my face and the skin feels fresh and clean. I highly recommend trying this!

BnB rating: 9.1 / 10

My hybrid product idea: I want to create a mixture of make-up remover and cleaning cloth. So you don't have to wash your face after removing the makeup. Just get an all-in-one wipe that creates foam when immersed in water and instantly removes all traces of makeup and dirt.

7 Effective Antioxidants To Add to Your Skin Care Routine

If you find that you justify this second glass of wine on a weekday with "the antioxidants", you may be on the right track – especially with regard to skin care. However, before uncorking another bottle or investing in a product with a variety of wellness buzzwords, it's important to understand what antioxidants really are and what effects they have on your body, and consequently on beauty.

What are antioxidants and free radicals?

As one of the most frequently mentioned health properties, we know that antioxidants are beneficial for our skin, but how exactly? Before we look at the solution they offer, let's start with the problem: free radicals. Certain environments (read: air pollution, intense solar radiation) can cause atoms in our body to split, causing the now singular electrons to jump around to find another electron to work with.

“Molecules strive to have a pair of electrons in their outer shells. So if they lose an electron, they become unstable, ”explains Dr. Hooman Khorasani, chief physician for dermatological and cosmetic surgery at Mount Sinai health system, "Free radicals try to regain this electron by oxidizing other molecules like the cell's own DNA, enzymes and proteins."

Benefits of antioxidants for your skin

oxidation affects the body as well as a car: it accelerates aging. In their search for a new coupling, free radicals damage healthy cells and damage our bodies. It is known that a higher content of free radicals catalyzes diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases and even cancer, and contributes to faster aging by weakening the elasticity of the skin. Fortunately, there are antioxidants that stop free radicals in their tracks without adding Dr. Khorasani added to become free radicals yourself. Preventing free radical damage isn't the only value of antioxidants. In maintaining our cell health, they naturally moisturize and reduce inflammation in our skin.

Studies have shown that mangosteen extracts can protect against UV damage, which causes fine lines, wrinkles and age spots and supports the appearance of elasticity in the skin, which keeps the complexion radiant and full. However, the biological activities of this compound are not only antioxidative. It has also been shown to be anti-allergic, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral.

Are You Layering Your Skin Care Routine In The Right Order?

While it may seem complicated to figure out, layering skin care products in the right order is much easier than you might think, especially when you consider the different formulas in a routine. "Typically, the order in which you apply your skin care products should start with the lightest to richest consistency," Alicia explains.

In addition to the consistency rule, also consider the function of each product. Certain skin care products prepare the skin for a routine and help the subsequent steps to better absorb and balance the skin for a radiant, healthy complexion. You should use effective ingredients – such as those in serums – to penetrate the skin so that they have more time to absorb cells and go to cell repair. End with products that include all of these ingredients – after all, applying barrier products too early makes it difficult for ingredients to penetrate the skin.

How to layer your skin care products in the right order

Here is the recommended order that you can incorporate into your daily schedule:

1. Toner

One of the most frequently skipped steps Toner should be included in every skin care regimen! Often packed with antioxidants and moisture, a toner, moisturizing mist or tonic follows cleaning and nourishes the skin. Boldijarre Koronczay, President of Eminence Organic Skin Care, says it best. "Toners are important for maintaining fresh, revitalized skin all year round, putting on mineral make-up, balancing the skin's pH after cleansing, or soothing the skin after an invigorating workout."

Moisten a round of cotton with your favorite Eminence Organics toner and gently rub over the face and neck area.

Second being

Applying an essence is a must to add moisture and prepare the skin for the next steps in your routine, A light formula that increases the skin's ability to retain moisture. An essence improves the absorption of ingredients – perfect if you want to get the most out of your routine.

“As a rule of thumb, you have to apply an essence after cleansing and toning and before the serum. I recommend using it in the morning and evening as part of your daily skin care routine, and you can even spray it on throughout the day to refresh yourself, ”recommends Natalie Pergar, Eminence Organics Lead Skin Care Trainer

After toning, shake a few drops of essence in your palms, warm the product in your hands and gently press it into your skin.

Eminence Organics facial sera

3. Serum, concentrate, facial oil

After preparing your skin with toner and essence, apply effective and nutritious serums or concentrates. Serums are often rich in antioxidants, so it makes sense that they are completely absorbed. If you are addressing or want to address certain skin problems, it is recommended that a concentrate or serum be applied at this point in the routine for best results.

Apply your serum or concentrate to the palms of your hands and then gently dab it on your face and neck. You can also use a facial oil to include these ingredients and increase hydration before continuing with your skin care routine. Here is an important tip from Boldijarre when using a facial oil: "Put three to four drops of oil in the palm of your hand and gently rub your hands together to warm the oil without" squeezing "it. Then press the oil into your skin with an open palm."

4. Moisturizer

Even if your skin is oily, a moisturizing moisturizer is essential to trap moisture and protect it from the many conditions it is exposed to day and night! Moisturizers support the natural skin barrier and keep your complexion strong and healthy.

For best results, apply your favorite serum or facial oil moisturizer while the skin is still moist. This will help lock in moisture and the nutrient-rich ingredients you just applied to your skin.

5th Eye cream

This sensitive area is often left behind in skin care – but it is the area of ​​your face where signs of aging appear first! Apply a moisturizing Apply an eye cream to your moisturizer and gently dab it around the eye socket, targeting fine lines or crow's feet and the under-eye area.

6th SPF (daytime)

For a daily skin care routine, Sun protection should be the last step (don't forget!). Physical and mineral sunscreens prevent harmful UV rays from penetrating the skin and causing aging-accelerating damage. For daily use, it is a good idea to find a moisturizer that contains sunscreen.

7. Night cream (in the evening)

If you don't end your day with one Overnight face mask, a rich and moisturizing cream is the perfect last step for nighttime skin care. What is the difference between a moisturizer and a night cream? These specially formulated products are thicker and heavier than everyday moisturizers, so they really go to work, seal in serums, and protect the skin during sleep hours to prevent moisture loss. The skin works hardest at night while we sleep, rejuvenate and repair the cells. Therefore, the use of a night cream with vegetable oils and extracts is strongly recommended.

Applying products in the correct order for skin care is important but well known When to use them is also important. While many like to finish their skincare and go straight to bed, we recommend waiting around 20 to 30 minutes. The products can penetrate shortly before bedtime, so that you have no more night cream on your sheets than on your face!

The sun damage you got away with in your previous years took revenge in the form of Age spots and wrinkles. Collagen production drops: In the first five years of menopause, your skin only produces 30% of what it did before. This reduces the elasticity and leads to wrinkles. Cheeks sag and large pores appear when gravity does its thing. Changing the hormone and pH will weaken the skin even further, compromising the moisture barrier, especially around the eyes, lips and neck, where the skin is thinner. Inflammation makes your skin more sensitive and irritable. And to further insult the injury, acne sometimes returns, a byproduct of hormonal imbalance. It's a long laundry list with dermatological complaints, but here age-appropriate daily skin care can make a real difference.

Best skin care routine for your 50s

Get in one Skin care routine that deals with your age affects directly. Any effective 50-something routine should include the following steps:

  • Clean – First, wash your face with lukewarm instead of hot water that frees your skin of much-needed oil. And don't use soap. Instead, try a mild, multi-acting cleanser that hydrates and firms. If you have acne, use a salicylic acid cleanser that clogs your pores but doesn't dry out your skin.
  • Volume – Fill your skin with ingredients that restore the appearance of firmness and elasticity.
  • Peeling – Exfoliation is difficult on older skin. Removing dead skin cells restores glow and reduces signs of aging. By slowing down collagen, your skin is now thinner and more vulnerable. Protect the peeling with a gentle yet effective peeling like our acai peeling for firm skin. And rely more on beauticians to get your job done.

  • Mask – A weekly home mask, like our Bamboo Age Corrective Masque, uses plant stem cells to make your skin look supple and rejuvenated.
  • To treat – One of the biggest problems with older skin is hormonal changes. Loss of collagen due to the menopause leads to sagging, visible lines, larger pores and bags under the eyes. Serums with phytoestrogen ingredients make the skin look younger. This also applies to treatments with retinol or peptides that penetrate the lower layers of the skin and increase collagen production.
  • Humidify – Where do we start? There are a variety of moisturizers to address specific problems. For example, use moisturizers with natural retinol alternatives from plant sources to help combat the appearance of sagging skin. Oils are also essential now: choose a moisturizer that is rich in oils like coconut oil, shea butter and grape seed oil. Your moisturizing strategy is rounded off by creams with hyaluronic acid, which make the skin plump.
  • Eye care – If you notice the first signs of crow's eyes, improve your skin routine with a lot of eye cream. Hydrate the sensitive area around the eyes with shea butter and oils to restore moisture to the skin.
  • Suncream – Protect your skin from age spots and thinning with sunscreens – rain or shine, morning, noon and evening. Sun protection products with at least 30 SPF are your best ally.
