Skin care can be as simple or as complex as you’d like it to be. There are day creams, night creams, toners, cleansers, serums. Masks, exfoliants; you name it, there’s a skin care category for it. But as someone who works in the industry – and who also happens to be a skin care afficionado – I’ve found that daytime creams and treatment get less focus than products typically used at night. But a great daytime regimen is just as important – if not more – than a nighttime routine.
Sun damage, stress, and pollutants: Oh my!
During the day, you’re exposing your body to a variety of factors that can lead to free radical damage. Of course, we all know we need to protect ourselves from the sun’s rays to prevent UV damage. There seems to be a lot less focus on environmental considerations – even though things like pollution and cigarette smoke can take a hefty toll on the health of our skin.
To fight free radical damage during the day, a good Antioxidant Day Crème is in order, and Reviva has a great one! Our Skin Smoothing Antioxidant Day Crème contains an antioxidant complex along with nourishing oils and other natural nutrients – in a surprisingly rich – but light – formula.
Where When and How Should You Use Skin Smoothing Antioxidant Day Crème?
While your morning routine may vary, I’ve found that the Skin Smoothing Antioxidant Day Crème is best applied soon after your shower (or after you’ve washed your face with your favorite gentle cleanser), after any serums you may use in the morning. I like to use Reviva’s High Potency Vitamin C Serum under my day cream most days – and sometimes I “mix it up” with Collagen Serum or Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
The Skin Smoothing Antioxidant Day Crème goes on smooth and light – and a little goes a long way. And one of the greatest things about it is that I can layer my SPF moisturizer over it – and my skin still feels light and non-greasy. This is a product that truly makes my skin feel smoother. And, while it’s been a while since I’ve dealt with breakouts of any kind, more than one customer has told me this product has helped calm her blemishes.
As with most day creams, this one is easy to apply. You’ll want to apply your toner (if you use one) after cleansing; then any serum(s) you prefer. Your day cream will be applied next, using gentle upward strokes. Of course, after you apply your day cream, you’ll want sun protection – an SPF of 30 or higher is recommended. Give your day cream time to absorb (I’ve found that this one absorbs quickly), then apply your SPF. As someone who doesn’t wear foundation or blush, I apply my sun protection right before I leave the house in the morning.
Antioxidants are an important part of any skin care routine
If you read the link about how antioxidants help fight free radical damage, you’ll understand why antioxidants are so important. You’ll find that Reviva has a multitude of products that include one or more antioxidants – they’re simply that essential. And while I make sure to bathe my skin in antioxidants both day and night, I can’t speak highly enough about the Skin Smoothing Antioxidant Day Crème. And when I mentioned that a little goes a long way? I use this product every day, and I’ve had the same jar for at least two months; it’s a great product and a great value.
