Skincare pyramid

The skincare pyramid is a simple visual guide highlighting steps and treatments for healthy, glowing skin. From daily cleansing to yearly checkups, it's got you covered.

Daily Steps

These are the must-do daily steps to achieve and maintain healthy skin:

Cleansing: Start and end your day with a clean slate by gently removing dirt, oil, and makeup. Cleansing removes impurities and prepares your skin to receive the benefits of following skincare products. Choose a cleanser that suits your skin type, such as a gentle foaming or gel cleanser for oily skin or a creamy cleanser for dry skin.

Moisturizing: Keep your skin hydrated and healthy by sealing in moisture, maintaining its barrier function, and preventing dehydration. A well-hydrated skin appears plump and radiant. Select a moisturizer that suits your skin type, whether it's a lightweight formula for oily skin or a rich cream for dry skin. Look for ingredients that mimics the skins barrier such as essential fatty acids and ceramides for optimal hydration.

SPF Sun Protection: Protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, which cause premature aging and skin cancer, by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Look for a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and apply it generously to all exposed areas of your skin, including your face, neck, and hands. Don't forget to reapply every two hours, especially if you're spending time outdoors.

Antioxidants and Specialty Serums: Address specific skin concerns, such as aging, acne, or pigmentation, with targeted treatment serums. Antioxidants like vitamin C help protect your skin from environmental damage and brighten your complexion. Choose serums with ingredients that cater to your unique needs, such as retinol for anti-aging benefits or niacinamide for acne-prone skin.

weekly rituals

Incorporate these weekly rituals into your routine and you will be on your way to healthy, glowing skin in no time!​

Exfoliation (2-3 times a week): Unveil a brighter, smoother complexion by removing dead skin cells using either physical (scrubs) or chemical (AHAs, BHAs) exfoliants. However, be mindful not to over-exfoliate, as it can lead to irritation. Adjust the frequency and type of exfoliation based on your skin's sensitivity and tolerance.
​
LED Mask: Boost collagen production and enjoy healthy aging benefits with an LED mask session 3 times a week. LED masks emit different wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture. 

Treatment Mask: Pamper your skin with a nourishing mask that addresses your unique concerns, such as hydration, detoxification, or brightening. Look for masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration or enzymes for brightening.

monthly indulgences

When possible, professional treatments are your monthly go-to for that extra boost:
​
Professional Treatments: Treat yourself to monthly facials, chemical peels, SWiCH, dermaplaning, or other recommended treatments to maintain radiant skin. Professional treatments offer specialized care and deeper skin rejuvenation that can enhance your overall skincare routine. Consult with a dermatologist or esthetician to determine which treatments are best suited for your skin.

yearly must-do's

Once a year, every year:

Skin Screening: Keep your skin in check with an annual dermatologist appointment to screen for any potential issues. Regular skin screenings help detect skin cancer or other abnormalities early, allowing for timely treatment. Schedule a comprehensive skin examination to ensure the health and well-being of your skin.
