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 it has 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."

Wet a round of cotton with your favorite Eminence Organics toner and gently rub it over your face and neck.

2nd Beings

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 need to apply an essence after cleansing and toning, and before the serum. I recommend using it as part of your daily skin care routine in the morning and evening, and you can even spray it on all 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 want to target specific skin problems, it is recommended that you apply a concentrate or serum 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 your palm 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 helps lock in moisture and the nutrient-rich ingredients you just applied to your skin.

5. 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 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.

6. 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 night 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 can 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.

In this video you will learn more from Natalie how to apply your skin care products in the right order:

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 going to bed so that you have no more night cream on your sheets than on your face!

How To Get Rid Of Crepey Skin

Does your skin feel paper-like rather than plump? As we get older, the skin can become thinner and more fragile, and look crepe-like. If you want to get rid of crepe skin, Eminence Organics is here to help.

What is Crepey Skin?

Crepey skin is characterized by its fragile and thin texture, similar to fine wrinkled paper. While it resembles more common fine lines and wrinkles, this type of skin tends to appear over larger areas and emerge where the skin is most fragile, such as under the eyes and on the upper inner arms.

What causes Crepey Skin?

Aging, sun damage and lack of moisture All contribute to changes in skin texture, including the development of crepe skin. With age, our body produces less collagen and elastin – the proteins that give the skin its firmness and elasticity. Over time, exposure to UV rays helps break down collagen and elastin, making the skin sagging, thinner, and wrinkled. And our skin produces less oil with age, which contributes to drier and paperier skin.

How to get rid of Crepey Skin

According to Healthline: "The earlier you treat crepe skin, the easier it is to make a noticeable change in appearance, texture, thickness and support." Here's how to adjust your Eminence Organics skin care routine to improve the appearance of this skin problem:

1. Exfoliate regularly

Livestrong recommends exfoliating the skin every night with a product that contains AHAs that help dissolve dead skin cells, moisturize the skin, and fade the appearance of fine lines. We recommend the Acin Peeling Peeling by Eminence Organics Firm Skin, which both deeply hydrates and minimizes the visible signs of aging for firm-looking skin.

3. Use skin care with peptides

With regular use of skin care products with peptide active ingredients, the complexion becomes more elastic and looks supple. Eminence Organics' Marine Flower Peptide Serum contains botanical peptides made from rice protein that help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Protect the skin with antioxidants

Antioxidants help Protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals that break down collagen and contribute to the appearance of crepe skin. Foods rich in antioxidants include deeply colored fruits and berries, leafy greens and surprising sources such as coffee and mushrooms.

Blueberries

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Collection: Skin Saving Succulents

Stone care skin care products are Eminence Organics Classics for a good reason. From our award-winning Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer the best-selling Hydrogenating fog of stone cultureSkincare fanatics will always find a place on their bathroom shelves for these perennial favorites that moisturize and brighten the appearance of age spots. Learn how this stone harvest ingredient can soothe dry skin and minimize the visible signs of aging to improve your complexion.

What is stone culture?

Stone plant is a small, succulent plant that is common in Hungary, and its name literally means "a harvest grown in stone". This unique plant can thrive in rocky soils and can even grow on rocks alone. With its flat root system, it needs very little soil or water to thrive. This robust succulent works best in a temperate, dry environment, but can survive almost anywhere with a little care. A fantastic application for the stone plant? It is ideal for Green roofs because they are easy to grow, do not attract pests and are resistant to diseases.

How we use stone crop

The plant is processed by hand from start to finish to produce our stone harvesting products. We pick each stone harvest by hand, cut it into quarters and then squeeze out the fresh juice that retains all of the plant's natural moisturizing properties.

Another processing method we use is drying and pulverizing the succulent into powder before mixing it into a skin care product. Watch our video Made In Hungary to see how our stone crops are picked and sorted, cut by hand and pressed into our farm fresh products.

Interesting fact: the stone plant turns red in cold weather. To ensure that products like our Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer and Stone Crop Masque keep their bright green color, we plant our stone plants in bowls and bring them into the house before the first cold snap!

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer

Advantages of stone cultures

Like other succulents (think of aloe vera and prickly pear), stone plants offer an extremely effective, yet easy hydration. As President of Eminence Organics Boldijarre Koronczay DAYSPA explains: “The stone plant not only helps to reduce pigmentation and lighten the complexion, but also helps to tighten stressed skin, tighten the epidermis, moisturize, reduce signs of aging and soothe sensitive skin. Here are some benefits of stone harvesting for your skin.

1. Heals dry skin

Like other succulents (think aloe vera and prickly pear), the stone plant has adapted to a dry environment by retaining large amounts of water in the stem and leaves. Our general manager Attila Koronczay Dermstore says: “Most succulents have a very shallow root system that relies on rain, fog, or dew to provide all of the water needed to thrive. The shape of the stone harvest directs water to the center of the plant, where it is stored until the plant needs to use the water to grow. “This water storage capacity enables stone plants to deeply hydrate and heal dry and dehydrated skin.

Most succulents have a very shallow root system that relies on rain, fog, or dew to provide all of the water needed to thrive. The shape of the stone harvest directs water to the center of the plant, where it is stored until the plant needs to use the water to grow.

2. Anti-inflammatory properties

Stone plant has been used in folk medicine for centuries because of its anti-inflammatory properties. The bruised leaves of the fresh plant or the juice collected from their leaves have traditionally been used as an envelope to treat a variety of skin problems, including burns, eczema and ulcers. This ability to reduce inflammation makes stone harvesting an ideal remedy for uncomfortable symptoms of dry, sensitive skin such as redness and itching.

3. Brightens the skin

When dark spots appear on your complexion, your skin is in full swing and producing melanin. This is often due to stress such as UV radiation or hormonal imbalances. Similar to other natural hydroquinone alternatives, stone plants brighten the skin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Over time, this will minimize the appearance of dark spots and contribute to a more even complexion.

4. Smoothes wrinkles

Scientific studies confirm that stone plants are rich in antioxidants that reduce the visible signs of aging. Antioxidants such as anthocyanin and quercetin neutralize free radicals that oxidatively damage the skin and contribute to premature aging over time. By minimizing potential damage, these antioxidants delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help the skin stay youthful for longer.

Succulents that are gentle on the skin

Video transcription

Hello! I'm Natalie from Eminence Organic Skin Care and welcome to another of our wonderful episodes of In The Mix. Really excited when this came onto my plate because I really wanted to talk about this amazing, amazing vegetable stone harvest.

It is a succulent. It's incredible. And it has been around for a long time. Some of us may even recognize it. It may even grow right in front of your house. We see that succulents are often used for things like green design to improve our environment, and it was an inspiration for us at Eminence to use them as one of our characteristic fragrances and ingredients. We have built a whole range that is inspired by this plant and is called our Stone Crop Collection.

When in doubt – Stone Crop It Out

… At Eminence Organics we have this fabulous little slogan that we use: "If in doubt, cut it out of stone" and for good reason. It is good for all skin types; Anyone can use it.

Gentlemen who I know also like to use it because it has a very fresh scent – not very floral – and is therefore very friendly for everyone. Stone harvesting also helps minimize the appearance of redness from dry skin. So if you think of men who shave their face frequently, our stone harvesting products are great for soothing the skin after shaving.

Product recommendations

(The Stone Crop Collection contains) Stone Crop Gel Wash – a top ten product, Stone Crop Masque, Stone Crop Hydrating Gel and Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer. One of my favorite parts of the Stone Crop Collection is that you have the option of using a nice light gel to finish your home care, or you can use a cream. Whether you're an oily combination or a combination to dry, this is a really great piece to showcase to your friends, family, or yourself.

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Cleansing Oil

A newer addition is Stone Crop Cleansing Oil from our Microgreens collection. Anyone of you who uses cleansing oils will know that they are great for double cleaning, an incredibly valuable technique for your makeup gurus, as they really help lift and pull everything off. This cleansing oil is also very effective for those of you who have problem skin. Don't forget: oil for oil, just because you have a greasier skin type doesn't mean you can't use cleansing oils. This will also leave the face beautiful in tone afterwards, so I know that you will love this.

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant

We have also added Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant in this collection, which is like the sister or brother of our Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant. Take any detergent – you can even use Stone Crop Cleansing Oil or Stone Crop Gel Wash – and shake it with a few shakes and a little water. This really helps with skin where milia, blackheads and congestion occur.

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Hydrating Mist

The only product I can't live without, to be honest, is ours Hydrogenating fog of stone culture. Any of you who love mineral makeup or powder, this mist is super brilliant as a fixative spray. It leaves no dry residue and does not make the skin look particularly moist – it is very hydrated. It is my companion for sports bags. It is what refreshes me all day. It smells incredible and it doesn't annoy anyone sitting next to you. As said, in case of doubt it will be cut out of stone!

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Body Lotion

We also have other stone harvesting products, including Stone Crop Body Lotion. This beautiful succulent plant really has a lot to offer and has inspired one of the special lines that we have.

Which Oil Or Serum Is Right For Your Skin?

If cleaning agents, toners and moisturizers are the basis of skin care, serums, oils and concentrates are the superstars at a high level. Building on simple skin care, serums, oils and concentrates add the powerful extras your complexion needs to optimize its health. They offer strong benefits directly to the skin, correct concerns, nourish the skin and promote hydration.

With the wide range of products available, you want to find the best serum, oil, or concentrate to address your concerns. Here's a practical guide to help you choose the best ones for your unique complexion.

First things first: What is the difference between serums, oils and concentrates?

Sera

Serums are light treatments with a high concentration of active ingredients that target specific skin conditions and concerns. They absorb quickly and penetrate deeply into the skin. They provide effective skin-restoring and moisturizing ingredients. Serums have a light liquid or gel-like consistency and should be applied after cleaning and toning.

Oils

Oils are full of essential fatty acids and lipids that restore and enrich the skin's moisture barrier. They often consist of vegetable oils such as jojoba, rose hip or sea buckthorn, which are rich in antioxidants and emollient plasticizers. Face oils can be beneficial for all skin types (including greasy ones) and should be used as a last step before the moisturizer.

Concentrates

Concentrates are similar to sera in that, as you guessed, they contain a concentrated amount of active ingredients. In contrast to serums with a gel-like consistency, concentrates are light lotions with absorbent and protective properties. Because of this versatility, they can be coated with serums and moisturizers or simply used alone.

Read on for the best oil, serum, and concentrate for your specific skin type and concerns.

Your skin type depends on genetics. Your genes determine the amount of oil that is secreted by your sebaceous glands, the size of your pores, and the texture of your skin. Each of these factors contribute to the dryness – or greasiness – of your complexion and in turn determine how your skin looks, feels and behaves. Your skin type cannot be changed, but it can be treated with active ingredients that are beneficial for your complexion.

Normal skin

Normal skin can best be described as "balanced": it even has sebum production and moisture content. According to Dermascope: "Normal skin has a smooth texture and a rosy, clear surface with fine pores. There are no visible spots, greasy spots or scaly spots."

Eminence Organics Lilikoi Light Defense Facial Foundation

Every skin can benefit from powerful antioxidants that fight harmful free radicals. We recommend that Lilikoi Light Defense Face Primer SPF 23 to protect the skin from drying out and aging by environmental stressors such as pollution, blue light and UV rays.

Dry skin

Dry skin produces less sebum than normal skin. This type of skin lacks the lipids needed to store moisture (which gives the skin a soft and supple feel) and therefore appears firm, flaky and dull. People with dry skin often have almost invisible pores and show more visible signs of aging.

Eminence Organics Rose Hip Triple C + E Firming Oil

Oils are the perfect addition to a routine for dry skin. These treatments consist of essential fatty acids and other beneficial ingredients that promote the moisture and hydration of the skin. We recommend our Rosehip Triple C + E Firming Oil, which contains rosehip, jojoba and sea buckthorn oil to improve moisture, soothe dry skin and combat the visible signs of aging.

Oily skin

The opposite of dry skin, oily skin has overactive sebaceous glands. These produce an excess of oil, which enlarges the pores and covers the skin surface. For this reason, oily skin is often shiny and can be prone to breakouts.

Eminence Organics Citrus & Kale Potentes C + E Serum

For oily skin, we recommend a light option like that Potent C + E serum for citrus fruits and kale. This rapidly absorbed, advanced serum sinks immediately into the skin and provides strong antioxidant and vitamin-rich ingredients.

Combination skin

Combination skin is neither oily nor dry; it is both. This skin type is characterized by uneven oil production: more active oil glands in the T zone and less active oil glands elsewhere. As a result, it tends to be greasy on the forehead, jaw and nose and dryness on the cheeks, jaw and hairline.

eminence organics facial restoration oil

Believe it or not, combination skin can benefit from the addition of balancing oils like jojoba and clary sage. Try our Facial Recovery Oil, mixed with clary sage oil and ylang ylang to keep the skin even and perfectly balanced.

Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is caused by a genetic predisposition to skin sensitivity and skin irritation. According to Eminence Organics Product supervisor and certified beautician Josie BartonIt is typically described as "skin that can bear the regular occurrence of uncomfortable sensations such as heat, stinging, burning and tingling caused by forms of stimulation that would not normally cause this type of response in a" normal "skin type."

Eminence Organics Cornflower Recovery Serum

If your skin is sensitive, opt for a gentle treatment like ours Cornflower Recovery Serum. This serum is enriched with result-oriented Biodynamic® ingredients such as cornflower and chamomile to soothe and relieve the dryness.

In addition to your general skin type, you may have problems with a skin problem or condition. Skin conditions are influenced by various internal and external factors such as hormonal changes, lifestyle decisions and environmental stressors. Unlike skin types, they can be changed and treated, and it is not uncommon for several to be treated at the same time (e.g. breakouts and uneven skin tone).

Fine lines & folds

As we age intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen in the skin. These materials are essential for a firm and firm complexion. When they lose weight, the skin begins to sag and fine lines and wrinkles begin.

eminence organics marine flower peptide serum

You can counteract the visible signs of aging with skin care enhanced with botanical agents Peptides and natural retinol alternatives. Our Marine Flower Peptide Serum delivers concentrated plant peptides to plump skin and smooth wrinkles. The Bamboo Firming Fluid is mixed with a natural retinol alternative complex of chicory root and tare tree to improve the strength and elasticity.

Uneven skin tone

Are you struggling with dark spots? Whether through sun damage, hormonal changes or acne, hyperpigmentation can be difficult to combat. When your skin is exposed to stressors, it protects itself by going full speed and releasing melanin – a kind of pigment in the skin. The result: spots and uneven skin tone.

eminence organics light skin licorice root booster serum

Before you reach out Try a natural alternative to solve your hyper pigmentation problems. Our Bright Skin Liquorice Root Booster Serum contains bearberry and licorice root extracts, tare tree, African potatoes and Gigawhite ™ work against hyperpigmentation and erase dark spots.

Large pores

Large pores are a common skin problem. While everyone has visible pores, some naturally produce more oil, causing them to expand and expand. The pore size can also increase with age if the skin loses its elasticity and ability to "rebound".

eminence organics mangosteen daily surface concentrate

You cannot “get rid of” the pores, but you can reduce their size. Our Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate contains a lactic acid (AHA), ribose and red clover flower extract to remove pore-clogging deposits and minimize pore size.

outbreaks

Up to 85% of Americans say they have had acne-related symptoms at some point in their lives. For many, there are outbreaks into adulthood and Depending on the cause, this can manifest itself as an occasional outbreak or as a more chronic, lifelong condition.

Eminence Organics clear skin booster serum

Whether you are fighting tiny whiteheads or painful cysts, acne is treatable and you can find relief. We recommend adding the Clear Skin Willow Bark Booster Serum for your skin care. This concentrated serum is infused with willow bark and tea tree oil to improve the appearance of breakouts and problem skin.

Dehydration

Dryness and dehydration are two separate skin care problems. While dryness is a dry skin type and is characterized by a lack of moisture (sebum), dehydration is a skin condition caused by insufficient moisture (water). Dehydrated skin often suffers from itching, increased sensitivity, insufficient turnover and accelerated signs of aging.

Eminence Organics Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum

Hyaluronic acid is a miracle cure for dehydrated skin. Our product selection is that Strawberry-rhubarb-hyaluronic serum, which is mixed with botanical hyaluronic acid to deeply moisturize the skin and replenish the appearance of moisture.

After choosing your skin care superstars, it's time to layer them properly. We recommend restricting your selection to one or two serums, oils and / or concentrates so that they can be effectively absorbed by the skin.

We recommend layering in the order of their consistency: from the lightest to the richest:

  1. serum
  2. Focus
  3. oil

Apply one to two drops or pumps on the palm of your hand and gently press the product into your complexion (don't forget your neck area!). Follow your favorite Eminence Organics Moisturizer to trap the goodness.

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:

(embed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjnGlxZIQno (/ embed)

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:

Father’s Day: Skin Care Gift Ideas For 3 Types of Dads

This June we celebrate fathers – the men who have an important impact on our lives. Whether the man you look up to is your father, husband, father figure or even your grandfather – everyone deserves the best on Father's Day.

Instead of buying him a stereotypical set of golf clubs, ties, or shaving sets this year, why not give dad the gift of healthy skin? Every father is unique. Here you can see three types of fathers and our selection Eminence Organics Products that are tailored to his lifestyle.

1. The outdoor father

The outdoor dad is always ready for adventure. You will find that he cycles, hikes, works in the garden or does everything that requires a healthy dose of fresh air. Although outdoor dads are generally physically fit, their skin condition could tell a different story. Constant contact with the elements – such as sun, wind, water or snow – can make the skin dry, weathered and often damaged by the sun. Eminence Organics Rosehip and Lemongrass Soothing Hydrator

To protect against UV radiation, a sun care product like our Lilikoi Mineral Defense Sport Sun Protection SPF 30 is essential for these fathers. After a day outdoors, our soothing rose hip and lemongrass hydrator for the face and body is another must to restore and replenish the skin. This lightweight moisturizer contains a natural repair complex to hydrate, repair and reduce redness caused by dryness, especially after being exposed to the elements.

2. The career father

The career father is a busy man. You will find that he rushes to his next meeting, defying the rush hour traffic, and spending a lot of time traveling from one airport to the next. These fathers are generally not nonsense, and they look for convenience and quality when it comes to their technical devices and even their skin care needs.

A few dark circles around his eyes are just a normal part of life as he reconciles family life with early morning workouts and late evening meetings. To combat tired, swollen eyes, we recommend our soothing cucumber eye gel. Our Bright Skin Starter Set helps you with skin care on the go. This set is packed in a practical travel bag and offers comprehensive skin care (detergent, moisturizer, mask and serum) that fits perfectly in your father's case.

3. The relaxed father

The relaxed father is a relaxed, uncomplicated guy. He enjoys staying close to home and spending time with his family, walking the dog, watching the game or reading a good book. Most laid-back dads prefer a BBQ with a few close friends over a fancy dinner, and they definitely want to keep things simple when it comes to skin care.

When we think of products for relaxed fathers, we think of convenience and simplicity. Some of our multitasking products such as our Citrus Exfoliating Wash and our 3-in-1 cleaning water for rice milk are perfect for caring for a carefree father. For example, our Citrus Exfoliating Wash exfoliates and cleanses gently to normally oily skin in one easy step. Fresh lime juice removes impurities, while grapefruit seeds and silica make the skin appear radiantly clear. Our 3-in-1 cleaning water for rice milk is even less maintenance because it can be rinsed off or left on. This product cleanses and tones in one step, which provides the skin with moisture, minimizes the pores and minimizes the occurrence of skin aging. Eminence Organics rice milk 3 in 1 cleaning water

7 Summer Skin Care Tips For Oily Skin

If your skin looks less than dull at best, it can turn into an oil slick in summer. As the temperature rises, so does the humidity – and this can lead to an increase in oil production from your skin's sebaceous glands.

While sebum contains lipids and fats that protect your skin from drying out of environmental stressors, too much sebum can make the surface of the skin particularly greasy.

Tips to transform your skin from summer fat to summer glow

1. Clean properly

Double cleansing can be the key to getting rid of oily skin in summer. As we say at Eminence Organics, "Like attracts like" and using a gentle oil cleaner as the first step in your cleaning routine can make a big difference. We recommend our Stone Crop Cleansing Oil to gently remove makeup and remove oil-based products from your pores. The lightening stone plant moisturizes and moisturizes for a healthy looking complexion.

Then clean on a larger scale with the Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser. Regardless of whether your skin tends to break out, switching to a cleanser designed for problematic skin can help make your skin look dull in the oil-inducing summer months (Curls). This award-winning cleanser is blended with cucumber, tea tree oil, and yogurt to treat oily skin without removing moisture.

2. Remember to wear sunscreen

While applying sunscreen looks like a recipe for disaster for an oily complexion, Allure says, "A healthy dose of sunscreen (a teaspoon for your face) surprisingly helps control oil and shine." Alternatively, you can use our Sun Defense Minerals choose for your sun care and check the appearance of the shine all day long. The breathtaking supermodel Kate Upton doesn't drive without a vacation.

3. Makeup Free

Take a cue from Alicia Keys and embrace your beauty this summer without makeup – or at least do without your foundation! In summer, not only is there a brighter trend, but the melting makeup can also clog the pores and cause your skin to produce more oil.

4. Avoid cocktails and spicy food

The saying is true: "You are what you eat" – and during the hot summer months, cocktails and spicy food can destroy your complexion. These increase your heat index, which makes you feel warmer and sweat more. Sweat is not a bad thing by nature, but it can lead to clogged pores if it stays on the surface of the skin for too long. The result? Skin that looks shiny rather than moist. Instead, reach for foods with a high vitamin A content and slow oil production such as carrots, melon and spinach (Curls).

5. Don't forget to exfoliate

Peeling is an important part of every skin care routine, especially if your skin is oily. Regular peeling helps remove dead skin cells that have accumulated on the surface of the skin, clog the pores and tarnish the complexion. We recommend our Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant, which contains rice flour and Adzuki powder to polish and smooth the skin structure, and Stone Crop to moisturize and moisturize. This peeling for everyday use gently removes impurities with its light effervescent effect and ensures a perfectly polished complexion.

6. Treat your skin to a mask

Dr. Oz recommends applying a clay mask once or twice a week to degrease summer skin. Our Balancing Masque Duo contains kaolin clay and charcoal to remove oil, dirt and bacteria that cause excess sebum, and Buchu leaf extract to reduce oil production and mattify the skin's appearance. Add the moisture Grapefruit cheek treatment to restore moisture to the skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

7. Yes, you still need to moisturize

Adding moisture to oily skin may not seem intuitive, but hydrating the skin is key to maintaining balance and controlling oil production. If you're wondering, "Should you use oily skin moisturizer?" The answer is a resounding yes. If you are looking for the best moisturizer for oily skin, we recommend the Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer. This beauty editor favorite includes cucumber juice, tea tree, and willow bark (a natural astringent) to tighten and reduce the appearance of your pores, leaving you with soft – never shiny – skin.

Keratosis Pilaris: Everything You Need to Know About “Chicken Skin”

Bumpy, dry and structured areas – a trifecta of things you don't want when it comes to skin.

If you notice tiny bumps or rough patches of skin on the back of your arms (or other areas of your body, such as your legs or face), you are not alone. Known as keratosis pilaris, this skin condition is relatively common (though aggravating), but here is some good news: you don't have to live with bumpy skin forever.

Keratosis pilaris

What is Keratosis Pilaris and what causes it?

Keratosis pilaris is a very common and painless skin condition. These small red bumps and dry spots are often referred to as "chicken skin" due to their appearance and can deteriorate depending on the season in drier months due to a lack of humidity.

What causes keratosis pilaris? It is basically a result of keratin formation at the opening of the hair follicle. Keratin is a crucial protein in the skin's epidermis and is important because it protects skin cells from infection. When keratin builds up, it forms a plug that blocks the hair follicles, resulting in textured, red, and bumpy skin associated with keratosis pilaris.

When keratin builds up, it forms a plug that blocks the hair follicles and results in textured, red, and bumpy skin associated with keratosis pilaris.

Dermatologists are not entirely sure why it happens, but some things are certain when it comes to keratosis pilaris: dry weather, hormonal changes, and predisposition to skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis are all to blame.

Differences between Keratosis Pilaris, Acne and Milia

If you notice these rough, dry spots or small red bumps on your skin, this can be cause for concern. Don't stress though – Keratosis pilaris is not painful and there is no burning or itching with the condition.

Often confused with other skin problems like acne or milia, there are actually significant differences between keratosis pilaris and other common skin problems. Acne occurs when dead skin cells and oil in hair follicles combine, which leads to the development of bacteria and inflammation. Milia, on the other hand, occurs when cells or keratin accumulate under the skin and not specifically in the hair follicle. Distinguishing points between milia and keratosis pilaris? Keratosis pilaris tend to present themselves as small red bumps covering a wider area of ​​the skin (such as arms or legs) with tiny bumps or dry spots, while milia are white or yellow bumps that generally develop on the chin, nose, and cheeks .

How to Get Rid of Keratosis Pilaris

How to Get Rid of Keratosis Pilaris

With a consistent skin care plan, your chicken skin can be a thing of the past. How to remove Keratosis pilaris:

Do not use hard skin care products

If you suffer from Keratosis pilaris, your skin will already feel dry and rough – with hard ingredients, you don't have to make the situation worse. Instead, use soothing and nourishing products for your bath and skin care. Facial Recovery Oil can be used anywhere on the body and contains gentle and pure ingredients such as clary sage oil and olive oil.

Exfoliation often

Prevent dead skin from forming by exfoliating regularly. Use products with natural peels such as sugar or salt peels that gently remove dry skin without causing irritation. A loofah or sponge is another great way to remove dead skin cells for daily exfoliation. For the face, use a physical peel that contains lactic acid or other alpha hydroxy acids. These types of scrubs improve texture and remove dead skin.

Take lukewarm baths or showers

Hot water is hard on the skin because it removes natural oils and exacerbates dryness. Instead, use lukewarm water to activate skin care products, clean the pores, and maintain balance with skin oils.

Moisturize regularly

Seal the moisture after bathing or showering by applying moisturizer to the face and body. Because keratosis pilaris is associated with dry skin, maintaining hydration is key to treating and relieving keratosis pilaris. One of our favorites is the mangosteen body lotion, which not only provides the skin with moisture, but also reappears with its unique lactic acid complex.

Avoid tight clothing

Rubbing through tight-fitting clothing can further irritate the skin as it destroys the skin's natural barrier against inflammation and bacteria. It also causes the skin to become dry, which increases the risk of deposits and clogged pores. Packing these skinny jeans away could be a wise decision if you're battling keratosis pilaris.

Visit a dermatologist

If you don't see any improvement, it's time to get professional. Contact a beautician or dermatologist who will help you solve the problem if you don't see any improvement within a few weeks.

An important note: the routine must be followed when treating keratosis pilaris! Once you stop taking measures to reduce the onset of keratosis pilaris, the condition often returns. To take action against Keratosis pilaris and keep it at bay, you should contact your Eminence Organics spa partner for virtual advice or a visit to the spa.
