THE FOUNDATION OF A GOOD SKINCARE ROUTINE

 Start With a Gentle Cleanse

A truly effective skincare routine always begins with cleansing. It’s easy to underestimate how crucial this first step is, but without it, even the most luxurious serums and creams won’t deliver their full benefits. Skipping a thorough cleanse means your skincare won’t absorb properly and will simply sit on the surface. Think of cleansing as the foundation upon which the rest of your routine is built.

Choose a cream or balm cleanser to protect your skin’s natural lipid barrier. Try to avoid gel or foam cleansers, which can strip essential oils and disrupt the skin’s balance. Always remove your cleanser with a warm, clean flannel or muslin cloth rather than splashing it off. This simple technique offers gentle, daily exfoliation by lightly removing the top layer of dead skin cells. 

Target Breakouts with Clinisept

If you’re struggling with breakouts, Clinisept can be a game-changer. This gentle antimicrobial cleanser uses hypochlorous acid to kill bacteria on the skin and help prevent it from spreading, making it an excellent support step for acne-prone skin. 

Apply Your Serum

 Once surface debris and dead skin cells are removed, your skin is ready for serum—the middle step of any skincare routine. Serums have a lower molecular weight than creams, allowing them to penetrate the epidermis. (top layer of skin)

• For sensitive or dehydrated skin:

  Byonik Seal Serum is a lightweight, ceramide-based option that calms and strengthens without feeling heavy and suits even the most sensitive of skin types. 

• For gentle exfoliation:

  PHA serums are ideal for sensitive skin. Their larger molecular structure means less irritation compared with AHAs, while still offering hydration thanks to their humectant properties.

Choose a Moisturiser That Supports Your Skin Type

The right moisturiser keeps your skin barrier healthy and ensures comfort and added protection throughout the day, particularly during the cold months where can suffers that much more from wind chill and dehydration from central heating. 

• For acne-prone skin:

  Look for mandelic formulations. Mandelic acid is lipophilic, meaning it penetrates the oil in pores effectively while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin. It supports healing without over-drying, which can otherwise worsen acne.

SPF

Your final step- every morning, without exception, is sunscreen. SPF protects your skin from UV damage, premature ageing, and inflammation, and it supports the results of all the products applied underneath.
