Nighttime Skincare Routine
Nighttime routine that targets all types of skin inflammation. Melt away all that dust and pollen particles, makeup remains, and sunscreen remains by double cleansing. Use one pump of the retinol all over the face and neck to stimulate collagen, fade hyperpigmentation, decongest pores. Follow with the eye cream to be applied only around the eyes. Moisturizer is only necessary if the skin is getting sensitized by the retinal. If your skin is okay without the moisturizer please omit as it may interfere with the absorption of the active ingredient in the retinol.





Morning Skincare Routine
Morning routine that targets intensive hydration and protection. The cleanser is gentle and does not interrupt the PH of skin. The rose water will rebalance and add more hydration to the skin. The niacinamide serum has multiple skin benefits including, repairing skin barrier, reducing hyperpigmentation and stimulating collagen. Follow with an occlusive hydrating cream that will maintain the previous products efficacy and locks serum into skin to avoid moisture loss. Apply sunscreen to prevent sun damage that can damage the collagen layer and disrupt your skin pigment.







Light Makeup Work Routine

Weekly Exfoliating Routine
Use weekly to exfoliate skin and manage acne



Glossy Hair Routine
Use Fekkai Shampoo and Conditioner for super glossy hair. Let hair dry completely then spray with Color Wow's Dream Coat and work into hair. Use the Hair Straightener as normal. The Dream Coat is a heat-activated anti-frizz treatment that waterproofs hair to stop frizz, even in high humidity. It's designed to leave hair smooth, glassy, and glossy. The formula also acts as a heat protectant.





Retinol Nighttime Routine
This evening routine combines gentle cleansing, hydrating preparation, potent retinol treatment, and barrier protection to maximize anti-aging benefits while you sleep. Start with Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser to remove makeup and pollutants without stripping skin, then follow with Rosense Rose Water Spray to rebalance pH and prepare skin for active ingredients. The Seoul 1988 Serum Retinal Liposome 2% + Black Ginseng delivers advanced retinol with black ginseng in a liposome system for deeper penetration and reduced irritation. Finish with PURITO Oat-In Calming Gel Cream to provide moisture and soothe any retinol sensitivity while locking in active ingredients overnight. This routine creates optimal conditions for skin cell turnover and collagen stimulation, helping prevent fine lines before they form. Best for anti-aging prevention and improving skin texture - start 2-3 times per week and gradually increase as tolerance builds.





Dull Skin Resurfacing Treatment
Use when skin is dull and pores are clogged.





Night Routine Barrier Strengthening
Night Routine to reduce redness and strengthen skin barrier.




Hyperpigmentation & Texture Morning Routine
Morning routine that targets hyperpigmentation and keeps the skin hydrated. Wash your face with skinfix cleanser. I really like this cleanser because it cleans the skin well without stripping it. Next mist rose water to balance the PH of your skin. Rose water has a slightly lower PH which is compatible with the natural PH of your skin. Apply the PCA Skin B3 serum which is niacinamide to brighten skin, improve texture and sooth inflammation. Follow with the Aestura Atobarrier which has ceramides that will strengthen the skin barrier. Final step is to use the PCA skin sunscreen (one of my favorite products) which is a tinted mineral based sunscreen that contains zinc oxide.
