The experts from SkinCeuticals are here to share their latest skin care advice.
Minimalist aesthetics have been taking over our social media feeds, and this certainly is a trend that fans of skin care can get behind. This trend focuses on fresh-from-the-spa skin, pulled-back hair and minimal makeup for an effortlessly put-together look. To achieve the healthy glow of this aesthetic, skin prep is essential, and you will want to reach for a routine that will give you immediate results as well as enhanced benefits over time. Here is our go-to minimalist SkinCeuticals morning routine to give you fresh, healthy skin:
Healthy skin is the crux of a minimalist skin care routine, so naturally, we want to start our routine by preventing environmental damage from wreaking havoc by dulling our skin and making us look older than we are.
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum is the gold standard when it comes to daytime vitamin C antioxidants. This beloved serum has been awarded more than forty beauty awards and is recommended by professionals across the globe. The synergistic combination of 15% pure vitamin C, 1% pure vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid provides the skin with superior protection against environmental damage.
Free radicals in our environment are produced by UV rays and pollution. These free radicals damage our skin cells, accelerate visible signs of aging and dull our skin. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is clinically proven to reduce up to 48% of damage caused by UV rays and pollution to help improve the appearance of wrinkles, increase firmness and brighten the complexion.
How to use it: In the morning after cleansing and toning (if you tone), apply four to five drops to your dry face and neck.
Hydration is critical to skin health and essential for a bouncy glow. SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment Daily Corrective Moisturizer goes beyond hydration and delivers correction with 3% azelaic acid, 2% alpha arbutin and a 5.75% blend of botanical extracts that work together to visibly minimize the appearance of pores for enhanced clarity and brightness. The lightweight gel texture is super-soothing and instantly refreshes the complexion. Over time, this oil-free formula targets and improves surface imperfections and dullness for all skin tones and skin types—even sensitive.
How to use it: Apply one or two pumps to face and neck.
The final step in your minimalist skin care routine will give you instant radiance, sun protection and hydration—all in one.
SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 is a lightweight, hydrating sunscreen that features a potent blend of discoloration-correcting ingredients for brighter, more even-looking skin. It delivers all-day hydration with 7% glycerin, while mica instantly illuminates your skin for a lit-from-within finish. This formula makes the perfect glowy base for makeup application but is undoubtably beautiful all on its own.
To use: Apply one or two pumps to face and neck. You can put the finishing touches on your minimalist skin care look with groomed brows, a touch of blush and lip gloss.
