Skincare can be confusing - we get it. When you’re told that you need an 11-step routine with triple the amount of ingredients, things get overwhelming.
The good news is that you can completely strip back your routine to 3 essential steps and still enjoy strong, supple and radiant skin - so long as you’ve got the right ingredients in the mix.
So if healthy, glowing skin is on the agenda, here’s the routine that will work for everyone at any time - no matter your skin type or the season (though this is a particularly great routine come winter time!)
Step 1: Cleanse
Washing your face is the most basic and essential step of any routine, and the right formula will gently cleanse without stripping your skin’s natural oils. Overachiever Balm Cleanser isn’t just good at removing sunscreen, makeup, dirt and oil, but it’s also brilliant at giving your skin a thorough cleanse without leaving your skin dry or tight. In fact, it actually helps strengthen your skin, thanks to our carefully-selected combo of ingredients, including:- Babassu Seed Oil, which has hydrating, antibacterial and antioxidant benefits to soften and nourish skin, while removing impurities without clogging pores, offering environmental protection and strengthening the skin’s microbiome.
- Mimosa Flower Wax, which has skin protecting and softening properties to condition and soothe skin, while preventing skin dehydration.
- Shea Butter, which is known for its ability to repair, nurture and nourish dry skin.
Step 2: Treat
Now’s the time to target your specific skin concerns with a hardworking serum. Good news: The Caretaker Vitamin E Serum was created to nourish all skin types including sensitive and oily skin. Don’t be fooled by the name - this luxurious green formula has a whole lot more than just vitamin E to calm and soothe skin, while helping strengthen and repair the barrier, and evening out the skin tone to leave skin positively radiant. Our heroes include:- Vitamin E, one of the most powerful antioxidants that shields the skin while delivering long-lasting moisture, strengthening skin, and soothing irritation.
- Vitamin F, which is loaded with essential fatty acids to help restore the skin’s barrier, reduce inflammation, and calm compromised skin.
- Vitamin C, another powerhouse antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and shield skin from environmental stressors, promotes collagen production and targets pigmentation for even, brighter skin.
Step 3: Nourish
No skin routine is complete without a healthy dose of hydration, and our Skin Drench Moisturiser seriously delivers. A lightweight, jelly texture that locks in moisture and works for every skin type, it also has a heavenly scent that will transport your senses. The ingredients list is impressive (if we do say so ourselves), but meet a few of the reasons this is one of the best moisturisers around:- Snow Mushroom Extract, a powerful moisturising ingredient that deeply penetrates skin and is able to provide 500 times the hydrating power of hyaluronic acid.
- Squalane, a plant-derived oil that mimics the skin’s natural lipids to soften and smooth, while strengthening the skin barrier and helping calm inflammation and irritation.
- Peptides, which work to stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles, leaving skin looking younger.
- Ceramides, an essential for strong skin barrier.
