Consistency and potency. Using highly effective, reparative ingredients consistently is more important than ever. Layering products that protect, hydrate, and rebuild is the best strategy for maintaining a youthful appearance.
Gentle exfoliation before masking can remove dead skin cells and enhance product absorption. However, avoid exfoliating if you’re using a potent active-based mask to prevent irritation.
Consistency is the true foundation. A simple routine performed diligently every day and night is far more effective than a complex, inconsistent one. The core pillars are cleanse, treat, moisturize, and protect (with sunscreen).
Use gentle, circular motions and let the brush do the work. Glide it slowly across the forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks. Avoid pressing hard or scrubbing, as this can irritate the skin.
