Today I wanted to talk a bit about creating a skincare routine for yourself to get you ready for your big day. With many of us being nervous about getting into a spa for facials, at home care is more important then ever.
A good skincare routine should ideally consist a daily care as well as bi weekly/weekly treatments. Let’s start with the daily routine and today we will cover a great cleanser and a toner/mist.
Starting with a good quality cleanser is so important. Products that clean without stripping your skin are the best. I love cleansing oils and creams.
My favorite is is The Great Cleanse - Nourishing Supercritical Cleansing Oil by Maya Chia. It is an oil that you apply on dry skin and rub all over to remove all makeup and impurities, then you add warm water and it will emulsify. It will easily rinse off not leaving any oily residue.
Chia seed and proprietary blend of oils gently and effortlessly dissolves makeup and impurities completely. Soothing natural botanicals, such as Roman chamomile, Lavender, Neroli and Jasmine calm the skin for a radiant glow. All the Maya Chia product have also amazing scent. You will definitely feel like you are at the spa every time you use it.
Another great product for a dry complexion is Pa’akai Cleansing Cream by Honua Skincare. It is an incredibly nourishing, calming and refreshing cleanser. This one you will also apply to dry skin and then rinse of with a warm wash cloth.
It contains Pa’akai - Hawaiian Salt to balance, protect and restore the skin. As well as Hibiscus - a natural source of alpha-hydroxy acids to help exfoliate, prevent breakouts and speed up cell turnover. And last but not least a Seaweed extract which contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids with skin rejuvenating and healing properties.
After properly cleansing your skin is important to follow up with an exfoliating and ph balancing toner.
I love The Optimist - Face Mist by Maya Chia. It is designed to work effortlessly into your regimen, combining the lightweight feel of a mist, with the high-performance ingredients of an essence.
The Optimist provides a powerful, yet weightless, boost of hydration for the appearance of plumper, deeply moisturized, more luminous skin.
A proprietary blend of antioxidants, amino acids, polysaccharides, phytonutrients, and fatty acids, such as Sake, White Tea, Chia Seed, Astaxanthin, and Licorice Extracts for radiant, nourished, glowing skin.
Another great exfoliating toner is Hawaiian Beauty Water by Honua Skincare. This one you will apply using a cotton pad like a regular toner.
It contains Hibiscus - a powerful antioxidant which helps to even skin tone and tighten pores. As well as Coconut Water which hydrates and refreshes the skin for a dewy finish and Papaya, Ko and Willow Bark – 3 types of exfoliants (AHA, BHA and Enzymes) for a healthy glow.
All of the above products are clean, non-toxic, cruelty-free and sustainable packaged in glass bottles. Each line uses the powerful natural ingredients for amazing results.
