Achieving radiant, healthy skin isn’t just about using the right products—it’s about applying them in the right order. Layering your skincare products properly ensures each one works to its full potential, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeply and deliver maximum benefits. ABI Dermaceuticals offers a range of professional-grade products designed to work synergistically when applied in the correct sequence. Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting the most out of your skincare routine:
Start with a Clean Slate: Gentle Cleansing
Cleansing is the essential first step to ensure your skin is free of impurities, dirt, and oils. ABI Dermaceuticals’ Exfoliating Enzyme Wash is an excellent choice for gentle exfoliation, revealing a fresh complexion without irritation. Powered by natural enzymes from pineapple and papaya, it gently removes dead skin cells while nourishing the skin with moisturizers, leaving it hydrated and balanced.
Pro Tip: Always cleanse with lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils.
Tone and Nourish: Infusing Vitamins & Hydration
After cleansing, toning plays a crucial role in replenishing hydration and nutrients. Calming Cucumber Mist from ABI goes beyond balancing your skin’s pH; it nourishes with a burst of vitamins and soothing botanicals. Packed with Aloe Vera, Organic Cucumber Extract, and Vitamin E, it hydrates while calming irritation and adding extra moisture. This mist is the perfect prelude to the next steps in your routine, providing an added layer of hydration and nourishment, making it ideal for daily use.
Pro Tip: After spritzing, gently press the mist into your skin to maximize absorption, ensuring your skin is perfectly primed for the serums and moisturizers that follow.
Targeted Treatment: Serums for Specific Concerns
Serums are the powerhouse of any skincare routine. After toning, applying serums ensures the active ingredients penetrate deeply into your skin for maximum effectiveness. Here are just a few standout serums from ABI Dermaceuticals:
- Pro-Collagen Boosting Serum: Hyaluronic acid and collagen-boosting peptides work to reduce fine lines, enhance elasticity, and provide optimal hydration for a firmer, more youthful complexion.
- Resveratrol Illuminating Serum: Infused with SalSphere® Encapsulated Resveratrol, Procyanidin B2, and niacinamide (B3), this calming serum reduces redness, inflammation, and brightens skin.
- Skin Perfecting Retinol Serum: A potent yet gentle dose of retinol that supports skin renewal, smooths texture and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles with consistent use.
Pro Tip: Apply serums from lightest to heaviest in texture—start with more watery formulas and finish with thicker, creamier ones, depending on your skin’s needs.
Seal in Hydration: Moisturizers and Creams
Moisturizers lock in the benefits of your serums and provide long-lasting hydration. ABI offers a variety of moisturizers to address different skin needs including the following:
- Moisturizing Antioxidant: A lightweight formula packed with antioxidants to combat oxidative stress and deliver deep hydration, keeping your skin resilient and radiant.
- Firming Peptide Crème: A rich, peptide-infused moisturizer that helps restore firmness, improve elasticity, and deeply nourish the skin. It strengthens the skin’s resilience while delivering lasting hydration.
- Clinical Eye Repair: Specialized care for the delicate eye area, powered by Eyeliss® and Haloxyl® to diminish dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and redness.
Pro Tip: When applying your moisturizer, use upward motions to promote skin firming and improve circulation.
Weekly Treatments: Masks for Enhanced Results
Incorporating masks into your routine once or twice a week provides an extra boost of nourishment for your skin. Depending on your concerns, masks can address hydration, anti-aging, or skin revitalization. Here are a few of the many options from ABI:
- Honeysuckle Hydrating Mask: Infused with honeysuckle, ginseng, and aloe vera, this soothing gel mask hydrates and calms dry, overstressed skin.
- Triple C Purifying Marine Mask: A clay-based mask with three forms of Vitamin C to hydrate, brighten, and reduce fine lines, giving your skin a plumped, revitalized appearance.
- Oxygen (O2) Energizing Fruit Mask: A berry-rich clay mask that energizes fatigued skin, strengthens the skin barrier, and protects against free radical damage.
Pro Tip: When applying a mask, use a clean brush or your fingers to apply a thick, even layer, starting from your forehead and working your way down to your neck.
Extra Pro Tips for Maximum Effectiveness:
- Don’t forget SPF: Always finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. UV damage can undo all the benefits of your skincare routine.
- Be patient: Results take time, so consistency is key.
- Give your products time to absorb: After each step, allow your skin a minute or two to absorb the product before moving on to the next.
