You are probably aware of our love affair with SkinCeuticals’ products that we simply love! If we love them so much, it’s of course because of their high efficiency, but also because of the unique beauty routine that the line suggests and that greatly contributes to obtaining the excellent results that we know.

As a matter of fact, the use that is made of any product, as effective as it might be, has a direct influence on the positive effects that it will be able to provide to the skin. In this article, we will expose to you what is the unique beauty routine of SkinCeuticals and we’ll explain to you why you can obtaining exceptional results with it.

The routine

Morning :

Cleanse – Tone – Prevent – Moisturize – Protect

Night :

Cleanse – Tone – Correct – Moisturize

What makes it different

In comparison to the traditional beauty routine (cleanse – tone – moisturize) SkinCeuticals’ beauty routine differs on several aspects. Indeed, it’s built on three critical steps that are often partially or totally absent from the traditional beauty routine : Prevent, Protect and Correct.

Prevent : We are not the first to say it, it’s better to prevent than to cure and this is just as valid when it comes to the skin, or more specifically when it comes to skin aging. SkinCeuticals understands this, which is why the line has not only added to its beauty routine a step specifically dedicated to prevention, but that it has also created several highly effective antioxidants to meet the needs and various types of skins of its users.

Indeed, these antioxidants aim to protect the skin from environmental aggressors such as the sun, pollution and tobacco, which are mostly responsible for the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots as well as skin cancer. In addition to prevent their recurrence, antioxidants reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles, fine lines and age spots, they improve the complexion and they provide an amazing brightness to the skin. This step is essential to anyone who wants to protect its skin from external damage and improve the overall appearance of it by displaying a uniform and radiant complexion.

Here are the 3 SkinCeuticals’ antioxidant which offer an exceptionnal preventive effect to the skin in addition to remain active on it up to 4 days following their application :

• C E Ferulic
• Phloretin CF
• Sérum 10

Protect : It’s not a secret, the sun is harmful for the skin… Whether we talk about age spots, wrinkles and even skin cancer, the sun is responsible for the appearance of several of these conditions and that’s why it’s absolutely essential to protect ourselves adequately from it. In this state of mind, SkinCeuticals offers an incredible range of high-tech sunscreens, that in addition of adequatly protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, improve its appearance and texture. Thus, their screens are designed, according to the specific needs of everyone, to mattify, to moisturize and even to improve skin tone in order to provide a maximum protection along with beautiful brightness effect.

These are the excellent sunscreens offered by SkinCeuticals which, combined with one of their powerful antioxidants, are a real barrier against the effects of time on the skin:

• Physical fusion UV Defense FPS 50
• Sheer Physical Fusion UV Defense FPS 50
• Ultimate UV Defense FPS 30

Correct : As you may know, the traditional beauty routine often prescribe the use of a day cream and of a distinct night cream. Although this is not bad at all, SkinCeuticals pushes the concept further by adding an extra step to their evening routine, which is ” Correct “. As you may have guessed it, this step aims to specifically treat a skin condition. We can talk here, just to name a few examples, of dark spots, redness, acne, dehydration, loss of elasticity and much more. 

You’re probably wondering why this step should be done in the evening rather than in the morning… It’s simple : your skin’s regenerative capacity is much greater at night when you sleep, than during the day when your body is busy performing a variety of tasks other than restoring your skin. Thus, to use a treating product before bed will allow your skin to get as much benefits as possible, in order to obtain optimal results and effectively treat the desired condition.

Followed by a proper moisturizer, this step is actually the one that will allow you to really treat the desired skin condition while providing your skin with the moisturizing and nourishing ingredients it needs! Here are some examples of the excellent corrective products offered by SkinCeuticals :

• Gel Phyto Correcteur
• Gel Phyto Correcteur
• Pigment Régulateur
• AGE Interrupteur

What about the other steps?

Of course, the other steps called more “traditional” of every good beauty routine (Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize), are also very important to give your skin the necessary care it needs. SkinCeuticals offers a range of highly effective products that we simply love for each of these different steps.

Cleanse : Simple but very important step, cleaning aims to rid the skin of makeup and impurities, such as sebum, that may have accumulated on it during the day or at night. It also helps to deep cleanse the pores of the skin to ensure that no dirt remains in them, thus avoiding their clogging and the problems that may come with it (pimples, oily skin, rashes, etc.).

• Lait Nettoyant Doux
• Gel Simplement Pur
• Nettoyant Purifiant

Tone : Step too often and wrongly set aside, the toner not only helps complete the cleansing, but it also restore the pH of the skin in addition to preparing it to receive the moisturizer or the serum to come. The incomparable feeling of freshness it gives the face is also very enjoyable!

• Tonique Équilibrant
• Tonique Blemish Age

Moisturize : Last but not least, the step of hydration is absolutely crucial in order to provide your skin with the moisturizing and nourishing assets it needs to remain flexible, young, radiant and healthy. Indeed, a moisturizer for your skin type and condition is essential to achieve the expected results because dehydrated skin will never have a healthy appearance even if all the other products used are excellent!

• Gel Hydratant B5
• Crème Émollience
• Hydratant quotidien
