Your Daytime Skin Care Routine:
The morning routine is all about protection from the sun, protection from pollution and protection from the elements.
STEP 1: DIRT REMOVER CLEANSER
In the morning, start by splashing your face with warm water, apply one or 2 pumps of cleanser to your fingertips and massage into a lather on your face and neck. Remove with our Dirt Remover Pads or a face cloth and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
STEP 2: LIQUID GOLD SERUM
Serums are super-concentrated, nutrient-dense treatments that address specific concerns, so it’s better to keep them as close to the skin as possible. Our Liquid Gold has a whole range of benefits from blunting your skin’s inflammatory response to neutralising damage from UV rays and environmental pollutants. Apply 1 - 2 pumps directly to your face and neck while your skin is still slightly damp.
STEP 3: MINING MOISTURISER
Yes, everyone needs a moisturiser even if you have oily skin. “Even though your body has its own natural lubricating system consisting of glands that secrete oil to maintain a protective coating against harsh outside conditions and infections, most of us do need extra hydration after the havoc that sun, weather and harsh chemicals wreak on our skin.
Most experts recommend that the best time to apply a moisturiser is while the skin is still damp, so the sooner you go through applying your serum, the sooner you’re able to lock in much-needed hydration with your moisturiser.
For best results, apply 1 to 2 pumps of our mining moisturiser to both your face and neck.
STEP 4: SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen should be the last step in your daytime skin care routine if you’re using a physical or mineral sunscreen, which works by physically blocking UV rays. This step becomes tricky when you’re using a chemical sunscreen.
Chemical sunscreens have to be absorbed into the skin to be effective, so applying after your moisturiser will delay and hinder that. However, if you apply your chemical sunscreen before your moisturiser, your moisturiser will not work as well either because the skin is coated with chemical sunscreen.
To get around this we recommend using a physical sunscreen with zinc and to apply it after your moisturiser... Zinc is safe, effective and provides the broadest protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Your Night Time Skin Care Routine:
As your skin naturally repairs itself at night, your nighttime routine should be all about treatment and giving your skin what it needs! Here’s the best order of our skin care products to make sure you get the most out of them:
STEP 1: DIRT REMOVER (DOUBLE) CLEANSER
To get rid of the day’s grime, dust, dirt, oil and makeup, we recommend cleansing twice! Start by splashing your face with warm water, apply one or 2 pumps of cleanser to your fingertips and massage into a lather on your face and neck. Remove with our Dirt Remover Pads or a face cloth and then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat this process again. This ensures that not only is all dirt removed from your skin, but that your pores are also cleaned.
STEP 2: LIQUID GOLD SERUM
Simply apply 1 - 2 pumps directly to your face and neck while your skin is still slightly damp.
STEP 3: MINING MOISTURISER
Massage in 1 to 2 pumps of our mining moisturiser to both your face and neck.
STEP 4: LIQUID GOLD SERUM AGAIN
Like the rest of the body, skin does the bulk of its repairing, restoring and regenerating as we sleep so if your skin is feeling dry or you feel like it needs some extra umph, apply our liquid gold serum again on top of your moisturiser and let it get to work while you rest.
