The 10-Minute Skin Care Fix

These simple, fast skin care tips are sure to get your skin glowing and looking its best!

Wear a ponytail- Pulling your hair back in a ponytail is a guaranteed way to instantly smooth lines and wrinkles. When the scalp is stretched back, it pulls the face back creating tighter and younger-looking, skin.

Use Hyaluronic Acid Filling spheres- Hyaluronic Acid has long been a popular ingredient in skin care products for its deeply hydrating properties. This amazing ingredient has now been re-formulated (known as Hyaluronic Acid filling spheres) to resemble tiny micro sponges that when applied to the skin, expand as it reacts with the skin’s own moisture to plump up wrinkled areas. After application, the results last 10-12 hours.  It’s a great alternative to expensive injections and fillers. We love our Instant Line Filler.

Leave your toner damp- Using an alcohol-free toner is essential post-washing to remove harsh chlorine and chemicals found in tap water that can dehydrate the skin. But by leaving it damp and then immediately following with your moisturizer, it seals in all the hydrating properties from the toner. (Our famous Toning Cloths is a ‘must-have’ companion to using a toner for less product waste.)

Exfoliate- There is no faster way to smooth the skin than use of a mild facial scrub on both the face and neck. Massage over clean, damp skin in small circular motions without applying too much pressure. By removing dry skin cells, you instantly give a smaller-pored, less-lined look to the skin. Note: Avoid facial scrubs that contain natural grains such as walnuts, apricot kernels or walnut husks. They have sharp edges which can lacerate the skin, causing bacteria to spread. Instead, use a gentle scrub with perfectly round grains (like Polyethylene or micro beadlets) which roll across the skin. Check out our collection of facial exfoliants.
