The step-by-step guide to clear, clear skin - Upcircle Beauty
STEP 1 - FIRST CLEANING
The first cleanse in your routine is about helping to melt makeup and remove the surface layer of dirt, pollution and toxins from the day. Every time you use the Cleansing Face Balm, the 100% natural formula prepares your skin for a deeper second cleansing.
Skin type: suitable for all skin types.
How to use: Simply apply the balm to all areas of the face, including around the eyes, before thoroughly removing with a cloth or washcloth. The skin feels cleansed and refreshed, but not dry or tight!
Frequency: daily
Top tip: you can also use the cleansing balm to remove eye make-up!
STEP 2 - SECOND CLEANING
Now that your skin is halfway through the cleansing routine, it is now ready for a deeper, more thorough cleanse. This is where a water-based cleanser is vital, such as the Fennel & Cardamom Chai Soap Bar.
It can penetrate deeper into the pores to remove impurities deeper within the pores, preventing pimples and blemishes.
Skin type:
Fat / combination: Fennel & Cardamom
How to use: Moisten face and apply soap with a little water to lather.
Frequency: daily
STEP 3 - EXFOLIATING
Now that your skin has been thoroughly cleansed, you are now ready to exfoliate!
A body and face scrub help buff away dead, dry skin to reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath.
Regular exfoliation helps prevent pimples and impurities.
Skin type :
Normal - dry: lemongrass body scrub, citrus facial scrub
Use: Oil-based scrubs should always be applied to damp skin. Be sure to shake the tube to ensure the oils are mixed, then squeeze it into your palm. Apply in circular movements, let it work for a while and then rinse.
Frequency: Both body and facial scrubs can be used 2-3 times a week.
STEP 4 - TONER
Now that your skin has been cleansed and exfoliated, it's time to give it some love!
A toner is great for hydrating and soothing the skin, at home or on the go.
Made with hydrating residual water from green mandarin fruit, a byproduct of the juice industry, and skin-smoothing chamomile extract, a byproduct of the tea industry.
Skin type: all skin types, including oily skin.
How to use: Apply to fingertips or cleansing pad and gently wipe over face. Can also be used as a mist - spritz over face at any time to revitalize.
Frequency: twice daily
Top tip: carry this toner in your bag all day long for all-day hydration!
STEP 5 - EYE CREAM
Before you apply your face cream, it's good to give your eyes some extra care!
An eye cream is great for firming, brightening and protecting the delicate skin around your eyes.
Maple bark extract is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E and helps protect the skin through high levels of ellagic acid.
The caffeine-rich coffee oil helps reduce puffiness and dark circles and makes the eyes shine.
Skin type: suitable for all skin types.
How to use: Press the pump once to release a small amount of cream onto your fingertips. Dab on the delicate area around the eyes and allow the cream to penetrate into the skin.
Frequency: twice daily
STEP 6 - MOISTURIZE
You're almost done with your routine now, but these last steps are crucial, first is the moisturizer!
As a general rule of thumb, when moisturizing, use the lightest water-based products first when layering your skin care.
Upcircle Beauty's Face Moisturizer contains cocoa butter and aloe vera to soothe and nourish the skin.
Skin type: all skin types, including oily skin.
How to use: Apply with fingertips, massage upwards and outwards.
Frequency: twice daily
STEP 7 - OIL SERUM
As the next step in your skincare routine, use an oil-based, anhydrous serum for intense nourishment and hydration.
Through a combination of linoleic acid-rich oils and vitamin C, the Face Serum helps promote collagen production and keeps the skin supple.
Skin type: all skin types, including oily skin.
How to use: Apply a few drops to damp skin with fingertips and massage slowly in circular movements.
Frequency: twice daily
Top Tip: Spend 30 seconds slowly massaging the serum into your face. A facial massage helps to relax tension, improve blood flow to the face and makes the skin glow!
