SIMPLE SKINCARE ROUTINE
SIMPLE SKINCARE ROUTINE THAT WORKS FOR ALL SKINS
Every skin, whether it’s young or mature, or normal or imbalanced, needs nutrition from the inside and out, in order to thrive. On a daily basis our skin needs cleansing and moisturising.
This simple skincare routine is easy and suits the skins of all ages. You can build on it by adding a product depending on your skin’s specific needs.
- CLEANSING
Evening cleansing is essential as it removes dirt and excess sebum, unclogs pores and prepares the skin for the skincare products to follow.
If the skin isn’t properly cleansed, it may lead to skin issues such as clogged pores, spots and breakouts or dry and dull complexion. When the skin is properly cleansed, the skincare products can deeper penetrate for the best possible results.
Most mainstream face cleansers strip the skin's of its protective lipid barrier, upsetting its natural integrity. As a result, the skin loses its natural protection, tends to dry out and it is prone to bacterial penetration, causing breakouts, dermatitis and skin imbalances such as skin that is too dry, too oily, or both (known as 'combination skin').
You want to thoroughly cleanse the skin, while preserving its natural self- protection.
CLEANSING PRODUCTS
If you wear makeup during the day, exercise, sweat a lot or live in a busy urban area, it’s a good idea to double cleanse at the end of the day.
Firstly, cleanse with an oil. It can be any oil from your pantry, such as grapeseed, olive or almond oil. Avoid coconut oil if your skin is prone to congestion.
To cleanse with the oil, wet your face, then massage the oil onto your skin, add more water to emulsify the oil and then use a damp warm face cloth to remove, repeating several times until it is removed thoroughly.
Follow with Sana Naturals FACE WASH that will absorb any remaining oil, dirt and impurities by bounding and also gently exfoliate the skin to keep it smooth and clear. The FACE WASH can be used every day.
The skin will be thoroughly cleansed while it retains its own moisture and protective function.
If you don’t wear any make-up and you double cleansed the night before, then Sana Naturals FACE WASH is enough to cleanse in the evening.
If you feel your skin needs extra exfoliation, then when cleansing with the FACE WASH, spend a little extra time focusing on the congested areas.
You can also use a wet muslin cloth to exfoliate your skin without use of any product at all.
You can use Sana Naturals FACE WASH as a face mask too. Just mix with water, natural yoghurt or raw honey and apply on cleansed skin for 20min every second or third day. It’ll leave your skin seriously smooth and glowing.
- MOISTURISING
Every skin, whether it’s dry or oily and prone to spots and breakouts, needs to be moisturised. And Sana Naturals SERUM will do that with a super concentrated blend of nourishing oils and Vitamin C.
It will support the skin’s natural balance and will keep the skin in great condition, helping it look and feel at its best, moisturised and protected.
This multitasking superhero serves as a serum and face and under eye moisturiser all in one. It will provide the skin with whatever it needs at this particular season or time of the day, whether it’s dry or oily. Also, use around the delicate eye area to keep dark circles away. Read here on different ways to use it.
Always apply it on damp skin, e.g. right after stepping out of the shower or dampening your skin with a floral water.
And that’s it. Your skin is ready for an spf.
