The experts at LovelySkin are here to discuss the beneficial role of SkinCeuticals cleansers, toners and masks in your skin care regimen.

When it comes to skin care, serums and moisturizers tend to get most of the attention. Although these products may be responsible for much of the heavy lifting, that helps improve the health and appearance of the skin, starting your skin care routine off on the right foot can help enhance the effectiveness of every product that follows.

That’s why skin care products such as cleansers, toners and masks shouldn’t be overlooked. Looking for some guidance on how to make the right selection? Read on for expert recommendations on how to find the right products to start your SkinCeuticals skin care regimen, including:

• Face cleanser

• Facial toner

• Treatment mask

Start with a SkinCeuticals cleanser

Cleansers are a critical part of the SkinCeuticals’ comprehensive approach to skin health and are just as important as the serums and targeted treatments that follow. The brand’s extensive range of face cleansers effectively removes dirt, dead skin cells, excess oil and makeup—and includes options for all skin types as well as different skin concerns.

There are eight different cleansers in all, and they span the spectrum of benefits from soothing and replenishing to clarifying, exfoliating and purifying the skin. Whether you prefer a gel-, cream- or foam-based cleanser, there’s an option for everyone. Most skin types can benefit from more than one cleansing option, be that using different formulas in the morning and evening or addressing changing skin needs from day to day or season to season.

Choosing a SkinCeuticals toner

Think of toner as your cleanser’s trusty sidekick. Not only do these specially formulated solutions ensure the skin is free of lingering dirt, oil, makeup and debris after cleansing, but toners can also provide meaningful skin benefits on their own. Whether you’re concerned about breakouts, excess oil, rough skin texture or sensitivity, toners can provide much-needed soothing, extra exfoliation and target the appearance of enlarged pores—all while balancing skin pH and optimizing the absorption of serums and other targeted treatments that follow.

If you have normal or oily skin and are concerned about aging or discoloration:

Try SkinCeuticals Gentle Exfoliating & Conditioning Toner, which features a gentle blend of exfoliating acids that soften and refresh the skin while refining surface texture and minimizing the look of pores.

If you have oily or acne-prone skin and are concerned about aging:

Try SkinCeuticals LHA Toner. It contains a triple-exfoliating blend of glycolic, salicylic and lipo-hydroxy acids to keep pores clear and refine skin texture.

If you have normal, dry or sensitive skin and are concerned about dehydration, discoloration or aging:

Try SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner. Alcohol-free and formulated with gentle exfoliating acids and soothing botanicals, this toner helps refresh and smooth skin texture while eliminating lingering residue.

Try a treatment mask

If you are reserving face masks for DIY spa nights, you could be missing out on some crucial skin benefits. Face treatment masks can also play an important role in preparing the skin for other treatment products as well.

Whether used in the morning or evening after cleansing, try the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel Mask for a surge of moisture, SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Mask for pore purification, SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Hydrating & Calming Mask for visible redness reduction and SkinCeuticals Biocellulose Restorative Sheet Mask for serious soothing. Plus, they all help prime the skin for the remainder of your skin care routine.

Now that your regimen is off to a great start, we’ll help you keep your skin looking healthy all summer long with warm-weather essentials from SkinCeuticals.
