The Routine

A good skincare routine will get you far

Avoiding acne altogether is a promise we can’t make. But having an effective skincare routine will certainly help you avoid most pimples and outbreaks.

There is a famous quote that says: “Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle.” We are firm believers in these wise words.

Cleansing

The most important thing to do is cleansing. Always. No discussion.

If you don’t cleanse, all the other things you’re trying are pointless and will even have the opposite effect. Best is to this in the morning and in the evening. We know, it seems like a lot, but it’s only like 5 minutes in your daily routine and you WILL notice the effect quickly!

So: start with a soft cleanser. Wash your hands first to make sure they are clean before touching your face. Apply your cleanser with soft circular movements to your face. Massage it in for a few moments and rinse with lukewarm water.

Toning

A toner will rebalance the pH of your skin. A good toner will help close pores and tighten cell gaps after cleansing, making it harder for impurities and environmental contaminants to penetrate the skin. It also has a moisturizing effect.

Always use your toner after cleansing (so twice a day). Moisten a cotton pad with toner and gently spread it over your face.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating (peeling)– or scrubbing - your skin is part of the cleansing routine but should not be done daily. Best is to do this maximum twice a week. Exfoliation is important because  it helps your skin remove the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncover fresh new cells below.

Be gentle on your skin; exfoliating should be done with a little love 😉

Apply your peeling on damp skin and softly massage the product in circular movements to your face. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

The peeling pads from FYI: skincare are used a maximum of 1x week and do not need to be rinsed.

An extra for the boys: it is also the perfect way to prepare your skin for a shave. You will notice less irritation and a softer skin afterwards.

Mask!

Once a week, you can really go all the way and put on a mask. The right face mask will help your skin to remove excess oils and help improve the appearance of your pores. Moreover, it is a perfect way to deeply hydrate and nourish your skin.

Day & Night cream

Cleansing, exfoliating and putting on a mask are all steps to remove impurities from your skin. By doing so, you basically strip down your skin and leave it bare. It is now very important to nourish and hydrate your skin. Every morning and every evening after cleansing and toning, apply your day or night cream to help restore and balance your skin.
