When it comes to achieving fresher, more radiant skin, a solid, consistent skin care routine is key. But with so many products to choose from it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Here’s a breakdown of the best, simple skin care steps to help you achieve glowing skin.
Cleansers
Cleansing is the foundation of any good skin care routine. It’s the important first step that removes dirt, oil, and makeup, while it also helps prepare your skin for the rest of your routine. Gentle, non-stripping cleanser that’s formulated for your skin type are the smart choice. Reviva’s Sea Salt Cleansing Gel is formulated for sensitive skin. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, a cleanser with salicylic acid or glycolic acid can help to unclog pores and prevent breakouts. Reviva’s Glycolic Acid Cleanser can help eliminate sebum from pores while helping to improve cell turnover by gently exfoliating while it cleanses. If you have dry or sensitive skin, a cream or oil-based cleanser can help to hydrate and soothe – Reviva’s Cleansing Milk is an excellent potent but pleasant choice.
Exfoliants
Regular exfoliation is another key step in achieving fresher, more radiant skin. By sloughing away dead skin cells, you can help to improve skin texture and brighten your complexion. Removing the top layer of dead skin cells also helps other follow-up treatments to absorb better while simultaneously encouraging cell turnover too. Look for a gentle exfoliant that’s formulated for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, a chemical exfoliant like glycolic acid or lactic acid can be a good option. Reviva’s 10% Glycolic Acid Crème is a chemical exfoliant and leave-on moisturizer all in one. Or try our Fruit Enzyme Mask that combines three Beta Hydroxy Acids (Papaya, Pumpkin, and Pineapple enzymes). If you have oily or acne-prone skin Reviva’s Light Skin Peel offer gentle physical exfoliation combined with salicylic acid – or try our Problem Skin Mask.
Serums
Serums are concentrated treatments that are formulated to address specific skin concerns, like dark spots, fine lines, or dehydration. Look for a serum that’s formulated for your specific skin concern. If you’re looking to brighten and even out your complexion, look for a serum with vitamin C or niacinamide. Reviva’s Vitamin C Serum or Dark Spot Brightening Serum are excellent options. If you’re looking to hydrate and plump your skin, look for a serum with hyaluronic acid. Choose either Reviva’s renown Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Collagen Serum. For more specialized solutions you can use Reviva’s Retinol Serum, Bakuchiol Plus Serum, or our Calming Renewal Serum or a myriad of other serum that are time-tested and proven over Reviva’s fifty-year history.
Moisturizers
Moisturizing is an essential step in any skin care routine, regardless of your skin type. As usual, use a moisturizer that’s formulated for your skin type. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. Avoid ingredients that might be comedogenic for your skin. Reviva’s Ultra Rich Ultra Light Daytime Moisturizer is perfect for most. If you have dry or sensitive skin, look for a rich, emollient moisturizer that will help to soothe and hydrate. Reviva’s Intercell Hyaluronic Acid Day Crème or Intercell Hyaluronic Acid Night Gel are both excellent options. Also consider Reviva’s Collagen Revitalizing Crème (that now features Bakuchiol) or our Calming Rejuvenation Crème that uses beeswax as a natural occlusive ingredient to lock-in moisture.
Sunscreen
Last but certainly not least, sunscreen is an absolute must for fresher, healthier skin. Not only does it protect against skin cancer, but it also helps to prevent premature aging and dark spots. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and be sure to reapply every two hours if you’re spending time outdoors.
The key to achieving fresher, more radiant skin is to choose products that are formulated for your specific skin type and concerns, and to be consistent with your routine. We often stress that consistency is the most important element. Which is why you want your daily skin routine to be a simple and as quick as possible. And don’t forget to wear sunscreen every day! With these simple tips and products, you should be well on your way to a glowing complexion.
