2 – Retinol serum

Retinol is one of the most active at home skincare steps you can do to improve skin concerns such as wrinkles, age spots, and uneven colour and texture. 

Retinol speeds up cellular turnover,  breaking down old skin cells and producing new ones. It’s important to start slow and don’t overdo it as it can cause irritation and dryness when used incorrectly. 

Retinol is a long game skin care, optimum results take 6 to 12 months to show. Keep regular and don’t give up before you start to get results.

How to use? 

Apply at night before moisturizer, avoiding eye area. In the first two weeks apply twice a week, then three times per week until using every second night. Once your skin is tolerating this you can apply nightly if tolerated. 

Do not use on broken or irritated skin.

5. Double cleanse your makeup and sunscreen off at the end of the day:

If you wear makeup and sunscreen one wash just doesn’t cut it. Double cleansing will completely remove makeup, sunscreen, sweat, oil, dirt and environmental pollutants. It will also prevent build up in your pores, reducing breakouts and preventing pore size from getting larger due to being congested.
