Hello Everyone! Welcome to SasVibe. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine can be challenging with so many products and advice out there. This guide simplifies your regimen using five trusted products: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Plum Niacinamide 5% Serum, Minimalist Salicylic Acid 2%, Dot & Key Cica+Niacinamide Oil-Free Moisturizer, and Aqualogica Glow Sunscreen. These products, when used together, offer a balanced and effective approach to skincare.
1. Gentle Cleansing with Cetaphil
Morning Routine:
Start your day with the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. This cleanser is renowned for its mild, non-irritating formula, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.
- How to Use: Wet your face with lukewarm water and apply a small amount of the cleanser. Gently massage it in circular motions, focusing on areas prone to oiliness or buildup. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
2. Balancing and Brightening with Plum Niacinamide 5% Serum
Morning Routine:
After cleansing, apply the Plum Niacinamide 5% Serum. Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 that helps reduce inflammation, minimize pores, and improve skin texture. This serum also brightens the skin and reduces dark spots, making it an essential part of your morning routine.
- How to Use: Dispense a few drops onto your fingertips and gently pat the serum onto your face. Focus on areas with enlarged pores or uneven skin tone. Allow the serum to absorb fully before moving on to the next step.
3. Targeting Imperfections with Minimalist Salicylic Acid 2%
Evening Routine:
At night, incorporate the Minimalist Salicylic Acid 2% into your routine. Salicylic acid is a powerful BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that penetrates deep into the pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, preventing breakouts and blackheads.
- How to Use: Apply a few drops to your face after cleansing. Avoid sensitive areas such as around the eyes and mouth. Use this treatment every other night if you have sensitive skin, or nightly if your skin can tolerate it.
4. Hydrating and Repairing with Dot & Key Cica+Niacinamide Oil-Free Moisturizer
Morning and Evening Routine:
Hydration is crucial for healthy skin. The Dot & Key Cica+Niacinamide Oil-Free Moisturizer provides lightweight hydration without clogging pores. Cica (Centella Asiatica) soothes inflammation and redness, while Niacinamide offers additional brightening and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- How to Use: Apply a generous amount to your face and neck after serums. Use upward strokes to help with absorption. This moisturizer can be used both in the morning and at night for consistent hydration.
5. Sun Protection with Aqualogica Glow Sunscreen
Morning Routine:
No skincare routine is complete without sunscreen. The Aqualogica Glow Sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, essential for preventing premature aging and skin cancer. This sunscreen also contains hydrating ingredients to keep your skin glowing.
- How to Use: Apply a generous amount to your face and neck as the final step of your morning routine. Reapply every two hours if you are outdoors, and more frequently if you are swimming or sweating.
