Show your skin the love it needs this summer by bringing your skincare routine back to the basics. Once you remove your make up, consider following these 5 steps for healthy, happy skin.

1. Cleanser

Why? Remove substances such as debris, oil and makeup that clog pores. It is important to start with a clean face so that your skin can benefit from the products your putting on it.

This double action cleanser cleans skin without removing the essential natural oils. It’s great for all skin types and only has nine ingredients.

2. Toner

Why? To add skin-replenishing ingredients back into the skin. Toner is responsible for hydrating, refreshing and rebalancing the skin after cleansing. This is also an important step for removing any final traces of make up.

Designed to refine pores and help maintain the skin’s natural pH balance. This product is infused with White Tea and Bilberry Extract for clean, smooth skin.

3. Exfoliant

Why? Exfoliating 2x per week helps to remove build up of dead skin for a brighter, smoother complexion. Exfoliants can be chemical in which dead skin cells and dirt are dissolved with AHAs and BHAs. It can also be done physically, by scrubbing away dead skin cells with sugar, coffee or oatmeal based scrubs.

We Recommend: Trufora — Triple Action Exfoliator

This product formula includes AHAs and BHAs that work in combination with an organic bamboo physical exfoliant. It exfoliates and treats the skin deeply while still being gentle.
