My spring and summer time favorites by Keri Monti, Vendor Relations

In the morning I splash my face with cold water and then apply our #605 Activated Charcoal Time Release Night Crème (yes, I realize it’s a night cream, but it’s light enough that I use it in the day too). The tea tree oil helps clear-up any blemishes as the activated charcoal helps to draw out impurities and to shrink my pores. I like to keep my skin care routine simple, especially in the spring and summer.

Now that the weather is getting nicer I make sure to apply our #296 SPF 30 Sun Protective Moisturizer to my face, neck, ears, shoulders and chest prior to going outside. I’m an avid gardener so in the spring and summer I’m outside a lot – so protecting my skin from the sun is very important to me.

I also make sure to bring #296 Sun Protective Moisturizer to the beach with me to protect my tattoo. Over the years I have used countless products to do so, all of which left a white haze over the top, completely distorting it. I was thrilled to finally find a product that protects it without completely blocking.

Now that the weather is getting nicer I make sure to apply our #296 SPF 30 Sun Protective Moisturizer to my face, neck, ears, shoulders and chest prior to going outside.

I keep my night time routine fairly simple too

At night I wash my face with #185 Glycolic Acid Cleanser before using our #605 Activated Charcoal Time Release Night Crème. Every few days I also use our #611 Gently Exfoliating Fruit Enzyme Mask to keep my face well exfoliated and baby soft. We have a lot of great masks, and our #107 Light Skin Peel was my previous favorite, but this has become my go to favorite as of late.

UPDATE Sept 2021
Presently I’m using 185, 888, 366 and occasionally 889

During the summer I was using 185 Glycolic Acid Cleanser at night, followed by 888 Calming Renewal Serum and 889 Calming Rejuvenation Creme. In the morning I would just splash my face quickly then apply 888 Calming Renewal Serum and 889 Calming Rejuvenation creme.  (and 296 Sun Protective Moisturzier if I was going to be in the sun)

Now that the season has started to change I switched up my routine a tad- quick rinse in the am, followed by 888 Calming Renewal Serum and 366 ALA, VIT C Ester, DMAE Creme. At night I still cleanse with 185 Glycolic Acid Cleanser then apply 888 Calming Renewal Serum, a little bit of 889 Calming Rejuvenation Creme and then 366 ALA, VIT C ESTER, DMAE Creme.
