Moisturize<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Do not skip this step. Moisturize, moisturize and moisturize. <\/strong>You may ask why the emphasis? This is because moisturizers are not formulated to make your skin oily but are made to keep your skin hydrated<strong>. <\/strong>Whether you have <strong>oily or dry skin<\/strong>, moisturizing is a must.<\/p>\n\n<p>Moisturizers help nourish and hydrate your skin and seal all the goodness you have put onto your face in the serum step of your skincare routine. In addition, other moisturizers offer additional benefits like soothing, brightening and anti-ageing, which you can opt for if you need an added boost of nourishment or skin-healing benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Face Elixir\/Oil functions as emollients<\/strong> <strong>and occlusives. <\/strong>These emollients <strong>add moisture,<\/strong> and occlusives lo<strong>ck in moisture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Face oils being plant oils, are rich in antioxidants and helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reversing the damage caused by the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays and environmental pollutants. In addition, these oils <strong>restore our skin\u2019s natural strength and firmness to promote healthy, radiant skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Facial oils work alongside the skin\u2019s natural oils to balance skin complexion, <strong>lock in moisture,<\/strong> and <strong>reduce the skin\u2019s natural sebum production<\/strong>, with many other benefits. Face oil also offers a \u00a0perfect primer\/base for your makeup.<\/p>\n\n<p>We recommend using face elixir\/oil as a step of your daily skincare routine by applying two to three drops of face oil according to your skin type and problems in the morning routine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/2020\/01\/the-common-moisturizer-mistake-in-your-skincare-routine.html\"><strong>after applying your moisturizer.<\/strong><\/a> (There is a big talk about which one comes first). Sunscreen and makeup come after the oil. Face oil can also be used at nighttime to preserve the skin\u2019s hydration and boost its elasticity, nourishment, and rejuvenation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Recommended Face moisturizer and Face Elixir\/Oil:<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Radiance Boost Moisturizer<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" class=\"wp-image-7418\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 375px;\" src=\"https:\/\/agelessbelle.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Radiance-Boost-Cream.jpg\" alt=\"Radiance Boost Moisturizer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/09\/Radiance-Boost-Cream.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/09\/Radiance-Boost-Cream-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/09\/Radiance-Boost-Cream-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/09\/Radiance-Boost-Cream-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agelessbelle.co.ke\/product\/radiance-boost-face-moisturizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Radiance Boost Moisturizer<\/a><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Remodelling Elixir With Co-Enzyme Q10 (Face Oil)<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" class=\"wp-image-5094\" style=\"width: 289px; height: 362px;\" src=\"https:\/\/agelessbelle.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Face-Elixir-All-Skin-Types-1.jpg\" alt=\"Remodelling Elixir with Co-enzyme Q10\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Face-Elixir-All-Skin-Types-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Face-Elixir-All-Skin-Types-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Face-Elixir-All-Skin-Types-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Face-Elixir-All-Skin-Types-1-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agelessbelle.co.ke\/product\/remodelling-elixir-with-co-enzyme-q10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Remodelling Elixir With Co-Enzyme Q10<\/a><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Troubled Skin Elixir (Face Oil)<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" class=\"wp-image-5092\" style=\"width: 279px; height: 349px;\" src=\"https:\/\/agelessbelle.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Troubled-Skin-Elixir.jpg\" alt=\"Troubled Skin Elixir (Face Oil)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Troubled-Skin-Elixir.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Troubled-Skin-Elixir-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Troubled-Skin-Elixir-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.agelessbelle.co.ke\/sofatut\/2022\/05\/Troubled-Skin-Elixir-600x750.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agelessbelle.co.ke\/product\/calming-troubled-skin-elixir-face-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Troubled Skin Elixir (Face Oil)<\/a><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Skincare Routine <strong>Step 5.

When it all started long ago, people used toners to balance the skin\u2019s pH after using an alkaline soap product for cleansing or any other product that was not balanced. Our face cleansers tend to be more pH-balanced and gentle, so toners have evolved into a skincare category. The reformulated toners of today target a varying array of skin concerns.

Apply A Face Serum Serums are highly concentrated formulas that address specific skin issues. As a result, they offer powerful benefits for your skin. This explains why serums are the most expensive products in your skincare routine! Although we have a variety of serums, your choice depends on what works for you. Remember to read the labels to understand what you put on your skin. The benefits you are getting, and what works with what. Some skincare actives do not work well together.

You may ask why the emphasis? This is because moisturizers are not formulated to make your skin oily but are made to keep your skin hydrated. Whether you have oily or dry skin, moisturizing is a must. Moisturizers help nourish and hydrate your skin and seal all the goodness you have put onto your face in the serum step of your skincare routine. In addition, other moisturizers offer additional benefits like soothing, brightening and anti-ageing, which you can opt for if you need an added boost of nourishment or skin-healing benefits.\u00a0 Face Elixir\/Oil functions as emollients and occlusives. These emollients add moisture, and occlusives lock in moisture. Face oils being plant oils, are rich in antioxidants and helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reversing the damage caused by the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays and environmental pollutants. In addition, these oils restore our skin\u2019s natural strength and firmness to promote healthy, radiant skin. Facial oils work alongside the skin\u2019s natural oils to balance skin complexion, lock in moisture, and reduce the skin\u2019s natural sebum production, with many other benefits. Face oil also offers a \u00a0perfect primer\/base for your makeup. We recommend using face elixir\/oil as a step of your daily skincare routine by applying two to three drops of face oil according to your skin type and problems in the morning routine after applying your moisturizer. (There is a big talk about which one comes first). Sunscreen and makeup come after the oil. Face oil can also be used at nighttime to preserve the skin\u2019s hydration and boost its elasticity, nourishment, and rejuvenation.

Protect with A Broad-spectrum Sunscreen Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ is a final and vital step in the morning routine. However, this step is unnecessary for the night routine: no UV rays at night. So, if you only have time to do one of these steps, this is the one! Sunscreen is a must-have skincare product, according to skin experts.\u00a0 Protecting your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays is crucial regardless of how cloudy or rainy it is outside. Just because you can\u2019t see the sun doesn\u2019t mean the harmful UV rays are absent! Recommended Sunscreen: Suncare Max\u2122 Sunscreen FINAL THOUGHT Whilst the steps above make up the basis of a simple skin routine, adding additional steps as and when needed is not bad. For example, a chemical exfoliation once or twice a week will do your skin good to help regenerate the skin faster. You can also add a spot treatment if your skin is acne-prone to help control your breakouts.
