‘Next Step’ Routine
The Next Step Routine is for those people concerned with specifically with signs of aging, sensitivity, pigmentation or breakouts. It includes targeted treatments that build on the footing of the Primary Routine to treat specific skincare concerns such as acne, red marks, wrinkles, sun damage, brown spots, or rosacea.
If your skin is dry, or oily, or a combination type then following the primary skin care regime is adequate. If however you have dry skin with wrinkles or oily skin with pigmentation and/or wrinkles then one will achieve better results by adding additional ingredients as recommended in the Next Step Routine.
The Next Step Routine includes a gentle toner and a targeted treatment to specifically tackle extra skin concerns to achieve best results from your skin care regime.
Next Step Routine: MORNING
- Cleanser
- Toner
- Exfoliant
- Treatment (serum)
- Moisturiser w/ sunscreen
- Optional: Targeted treatment (applied as needed before sunscreen)
Next Step Routine:: EVENING
- Cleanser
- Toner
- Exfoliant
- Treatment (serum)
- Moisturiser
- Optional: Targeted treatment, as needed, applied before or after your treatment product.
I hope the above has helped you plan and understand your skin care regime.
