Having a good skincare routine is essential for maintaining healthy skin and a healthy glow. In order to make your skincare work to its highest capacity, first you must prepare your skin so your products can penetrate deep within the skin cells. You want to your skin to drink up all the goodness your products have to offer.

The Ultimate Guide To An Optimum Skin Care Routine

Cleansing Your Skin

Before you apply your skincare products in the morning, its vital to wash your face to rid of any bacteria, sweat, and debris that may have built up on your skin overnight, so the ingredients you apply will have better absorption.

If you use products with active ingredients as part of your morning skincare routine, then a morning cleanse is a must.

In the evening, cleansing your face is vital to remove dirt and grime that has accumulated on your skin during the day as well as makeup. Evening cleansing is crucial for skin repair during sleep. Premature aging, dryness, and breakouts can result from failure to wash your face before going to sleep.

If you have dry to normal skin, I have found the best cleansing solution is coconut oil mixed with Pearl Powder. This cleansing experience gently lifts excess dirt, grime, and toxins without stripping the skin of essential moisture.

Simply put some coconut oil in the palm of your hand, then some pearl powder and mix with your finger. Make sure it is not thick. Gently massage it into your skin, then remove with warm water.

If you have oily skin, use jojoba, evening primrose, aloe vera, tea tree oil, marula, squalane, or grapeseed, and follow the same instructions as you would coconut oil.

Exfoliate

Make sure you exfoliate twice a week, but no more. Exfoliation increases topical skincare absorption by 70%. It is a criticial part of your routine, to ensure dead skin cells are removed so your creams and serums can absorb into your skin.

To ensure you get the best out of exfoliation, pearl powder is a must. This all-natural powder is a gentle exfoliate that works by buffing away rough skin along with dead skin cells while luxuriously polishing, conditioning, and brightening the skin.

This primo exfoliate increases skin regeneration, improves skin tone, and promotes youthful-looking skin by increasing collagen and other extracellular matrix production. It leaves your skin soft and with a pearlescent glow.

How to use:

In a small cup or saucer, mix 2 tsp pearl powder and enough water to make a paste. Apply to your face and neck and let sit for 15-20 minuets. Rinse with warm water. Follow with cream and serum.

Serums

Now that you have prepared your skin, apply a high quality active serum. Serums are lightweight products that quickly absorb into your skin.

If you want ot make your skincare work to its highest capacity, go from lightest to heaviest (in consistency), gradually layering on heavier products, like creams and lotions, as you go. The reason is, skin absorbs lightweight products quickly, allowing you to layer on more products easily.

Apply your serum by gently spreading it across your face in a patting motion, then massaging it very gently into the skin to boost circulation.

I use two serums daily and have been for over 20 years. These two serums have high active ingredients, and I haven't found anything better.

1. Anti Wrinkle Gold Serum:

This serum is an amazing alternative to topical injections. Ingredients include: Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, Cucumber Extract, 100% Gold Flakes, and Argireline (leader in the cosmetic industry).

Anti Wrinkle Gold Serum is like a liquid face lift... penetrating cells, cleansing detoxifying, protecting, rejuvenating, rapidly delivering Argireline.

2. Cinderella Skin-Tight Serum:

Cinderella Skin-Tight Serum is the most concentrated, effective anti wrinkle serum that tightens the skin "immediately" as well as provides positive long term effects by strengthening the connective tissue of the skin.

Two of this serums most powerful ingredients are Argireline and Pepha-tight which tightens skin around the face, and helps remove wrinkles, fine lines, double chin and sagging. PEPHA®-TIGHT is a unique natural tightening and firming active ingredient. It delivers both a fast instant tightening experience and a superior long term skin firming effect.

3. Vitamin C Pearl Serum

Vitamin C Pearl Serum is a light, absorbable, silky serum providing valuable Vitamin C Esters and Pearl Powder to tighten, soften, tone, brighten, lift, and reverse age related damages to the skin.

This is another one of my must haves.

Moisturizer

Moisturizers help lock in the products you previously applied by increasing skin hydration to keep the skin barrier healthy. A moisturizer will hydrated your skin, strengthen your skin’s barrier, protect it from environmental aggressors, soothe and soften yourskin, and help your makeup go on smoothly.

For optimal results and long-lasting hydration, Here are a couple of my recommendations:

1. Advanced Supreme Peptide Cream With Key Peptide Complexes.

This Peptide Wrinkle Cream uses advanced Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 Matrixyl™; 3000 to reduce wrinkle density, improve skin elasticity and tone while hydrating. It softens and strengthens connective tissues and lifts to promote a supple, silk-like complexion.

This is another one of my daily go-to, and must-haves.

2. Sarah's Pearl Cream Sarah's Pearl Cream is a luxurious deep wrinkle, super hydrating cream steeped with vitamins, minerals & precious pearl powder.

These products are sold individually, however you can purchase some of these in value sets. To shop value sets, go here.

SPF

Last but not least, always finish your skincare routine with SPF, even if you don't go outdoors. SPF is crucial in protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50 and ensure it will protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.

Pearl Powder contains a SPF 30 natural sunscreen. It would behoove you to add this to your sunscreen for further protection.
