AM & pm routines

MORNING ROUTINE

Step 1:

• Begin with the Epionce Gentle Foaming Cleanser (or cleanser of your choice). Apply one pump to your fingertips then gently distribute onto your face, neck, and chest.Your skin should be dry. Once the cleanser is distributed evenly- wet your fingertips with water and gently massage the same areas. Add more water if you need more glide. Do this for about 1 minute.
• Remove cleanser with tepid water and pat dry skin with a clean washcloth. 

Step 2: 

• Once the skin is dry, grab your Melanolyte TX. Apply a small amount to the first joint of your index finger (as you would put toothpaste on a toothbrush) this is one pump if you have the new packaging. 
• Dot the four quadrants of your face - 1 dot to your forehead, one on each cheek, one on the chin and the remainder on the neck. Gently smooth evenly all over your face and neck. 
• Apply another strip of product to your index finger and repeat the dotting process, this time applying dots to your chest. Apply several dots across your chest. Distribute evenly; if you need to add more to any area, repeat using a small amount measured out on your finger.

Step 3: 

• ​Apply your Renewal Lotion or Renewal Cream
• For the Renewal Lotion add 1 pump to your index finger and dot the quadrants of your face, and down the neck. Use a second pump applied in the same manor to your  chest.  If using the Renewal Cream get a clean cotton swab, gather a small pearl amount, and apply dots to the four quadrants of your  face and neck. Then do the same with a new cotton swab on your chest. 

Step 4:

• Apply Ultra Shield SPF 50 or Daily Shield Tinted SPF. Use the same toothpaste application, but this time to the entire index finger.
• Dot all over the face, neck, chest, and ears. 
•  Sunscreen needs to be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure. 
• You may apply makeup over your SPF

​EVENING ROUTINE

Step 1:

• Double Cleanse. The first cleanse is to remove makeup, the second is to deep clean and prepare the skin for what comes next. Follow the same cleansing process as you did in the morning. 

Step 2:

• Apply Melanolyte Serum using the index tip to measure with the 4 dot method. One application to the face and neck, then a second to the chest. It is important to remember that the SERUM goes before TX at night! 

Step 3:

• Apply Melanolyte TX  following the same method as the morning.

Step 4:

• Apply Intensive Nourishing Cream using a clean cotton swab, gather a small pearl amount, and apply dots to the four quadrants of your  face and neck. Then do the same with a new cotton swab on your chest. You may also use your selected Renewal in place of Intensive Nourishing Cream. 

making it work 

The MelanoLyte Skin Brightening System is not an overnight fix for unwanted dark spots and irregular pigmentation. Some may notice an overall brightening effect after only 4 weeks, while others may take up to 4-6 months or longer. Protecting the skin from the sun is a must! Daily and repeated application of a broad-spectrum anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory sunscreen is a nonnegotiable, especially when treating hyperpigmentation. 

If you ever become confused on what order or what to use your products  to treat hyperpigmentation, reference back to this routine. Another idea? Number your products with a sharpie to make it super easy!
