Learn how to develop a vital, simplified regimen for keeping your skin healthy.
The basics of using skincare
A daily skincare routine should be on your to-do list. Choosing the proper products may appear to be challenging (we don't blame you—it may be complicated!), but, still, it's as simple as identifying your skin's main concerns and selecting solutions that address them.
Step 1: Cleanse
No matter what your skin requires, washing should be your top priority. Why? There are plenty of reasons! Cleansing in the morning is important to eliminate any dirt and dead skin cells that have been shed over the night. It's also crucial to cleanse your skin in the morning to get rid of any leftover nighttime skincare! (We often use richer moisturizers at night, which should be removed before our morning regimen.) Cleaning your skin at night eliminates make-up and grime that has accumulated over the day. If you skip this step, your skin is more likely to become clogged and germs may grow, resulting in undesirable breakouts. (Those pesky under-surface pimples are typically produced by incorrect washing.)
If you’re wearing make-up or heavy sunscreen, spend time outside, or even live an active lifestyle- start your cleansing routine with NL1GHTEN Kojic Soap. A soap-free gentle cleanser that removes deep impurities, without irritation, while maintaining skin’s moisture levels.
Step 2: Tone
Next, it's time to prep your face for moisturizers. Toners are meant to refresh your skin and prepare it to absorb any subsequent moisturizing products. The 1Up Facial Cleanser is a hydrating toner that’s formulated with moisture-binding humectants to capture and maintain skin hydration. Use it after your cleanser or throughout the day for a pick-me-up whenever you need it. This universally loved cleanser can be used on any skin type, but it’s particularly effective for skin that produces excess oil (including sweat!). All skin types can use this cleanser as well, especially if you have more sensitive, breakout-prone skin.
Step 3: Treat
With so many different skin types and concerns, such as blackheads, pimples (breakouts), and oiliness, it’s important to use products that can target specific issues (skin challenges) and improve the overall health of your skin. Personalize your routine with targeted serums that effectively treat specific skin concerns, delivering better results, instantly and over time.
To treat pimples (breakouts), you can’t go wrong with NL1GHTEN Skin Fuel It’s formulated in an elegant gel texture enriched with rose-brightening capsules that help give your skin an instant brightening effect. This non-sticky serum helps enhance your skin's natural barrier and helps it rejuvenate with its powerful antioxidants.
For more versatile care, look no further than the NL1GHTEN Gold Lift is lightweight facial essence formulated with Vitamin C, Peptides, Hyaluronic acid, and Botanical extracts.
Step 3: Moisturize
Now that you have cleansed, toned, and treated your skin there’s one more step to go–moisturizing. And, it’s a step that all skin types (yep, even combination and oily skin) can benefit from.
In the AM, we recommend reaching for a moisturizer with SPF, like NL1GHTEN Cloud Cream, that can restore hydration and protect your skin from harmful sun rays. While UVA and UVB rays are invisible to the naked eye, they’re incredibly sneaky and can damage or even burn your skin. This multitasking moisturizer delivers hydration, firms skin, and protects against sun damage with Broad Spectrum Protection.
For best results, use NL1GHTEN Cloud Cream also at night. This versatile moisturizer feels incredibly lightweight yet deeply soothes skin, especially while you sleep. Key ingredients, such as Hyaluronic acid, hydrate your skin and make it look noticeably plumper. Plus, Niacinamide, White Rice, White Milk Protein, and Vegan Collagen to soothe skin, nourish chronically dry skin, protect it from moisture-stealing irritants, and reduce redness. This rich moisturizer is the perfect way to repair and restore skin’s moisture levels as you sleep.
Consistency is key
The most important part of your routine is consistency. Follow these steps every single day and you should be on your way to achieving healthier skin and a glowing complexion.
