Your Post-Workout Skin Refresh
If you’re someone who loves to exercise, odds are you’re probably all too familiar with that post-sweat splotchiness and annoying breakouts that always seem to form immediately after you finish.
While a dedicated skincare regimen is crucial to healthy, clear skin, a seven-step routine isn’t always realistic, especially when you’re on the go. Here are our favorite products to get rid of pore-clogging oils to refresh your skin, diminish redness, and kill acne-causing bacteria:
When you’re in a rush:
Our Mandelic Acid 5+ Re-texturizing Pads are about to become your go-to post-sweat product. These pads tackle and eliminate oil, acne, and any pore-clogging or breakout-causing bacteria.

When there’s time for a full skincare routine:
While mandelic acid is great for killing pore-clogging bacteria, it can sometimes leave your skin feeling a bit dry. Our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF 30 is more than just a lightweight sunscreen. We also packed it full of vitamin C to renew the skin’s natural moisture barrier, improve overall skin clarity, increase elasticity and firmness! You should always re-hydrate the skin, especially if you have time after you cleanse the skin post-workout!

BB Cream vs Tinted Moisturizer
So, what's the difference between BB creams and tinted moisturizers anyway? And how do you know which one is right for you? The answer depends on what you're using them for!
What's The Difference?
BB Creams are a one-stop-shop with a little bit of everything all mixed in. They usually contain SPF, anti-aging ingredients, primer, and also act as a foundation with light to medium coverage ☀️. BB creams are perfect for the days you still want a full makeup look but might not have the time to do your entire routine.
Tinted moisturizers on the other hand, are mainly focused on hydration with the addition of minimal coverage and sometimes SPF. They are great for light coverage and can be worn on their own or under your foundation, while BB creams usually stand alone.
When To Use Tinted Moisturizer :
We love tinted moisturizers because not only are they lightweight and ultra-hydrating, they also give you radiant sheer coverage. Tinted moisturizers are perfect for days you don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still want to put your best face forward!
Radiance Tinted Moisturizer
Our supercharged Radiance Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 46 is rich with antioxidants, oil-free, and is fast absorbing to give your skin a boost while evening out the complexion and reducing redness. Its universal color adapts to the complexion of the wearer, while moisturizing, smoothing, and restoring the skin. Did we mention that its mattifying?

Face Serum: Your New Best Friend
When it comes to skincare routines, face serums are sometimes overlooked. The truth? Face serums are an essential part of hydrating, restoring and regenerating the skin.
When it comes to skin, face serums are like topical vitamins. Unlike moisturizers, face serums are super concentrated with antioxidants and skin-restoring ingredients that can target a variety of specific skin concerns like hydrating the skin, brightening the complexion, and restoring and repairing the skin. Face serums are able to deeply hydrate the skin - especially when used in combination with your moisturizer.

Cleansing Your Skin Before Bed - It Matters!
We know you've heard it before - sleeping in your makeup is one of the worst things you can do to your skin. But what about just washing your face? What you might not know is that sleeping in your makeup or not cleansing your skin before bed - even for just one night - might seem harmless, but over time it can cause extensive damage to your skin.
As you sleep, your skin takes the time to renew itself. When your skin is coated with a layer of, usually oily, makeup or residue from the way, pores get clogged which can lead to breakouts. When the pores are clogged, the skin can't renew itself, causing it to look fatigued, maybe even aiding in the creation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Our solution?
Our Mandelic Acid 5+ Re-texturizing Pads. Easily minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin. These pads tackle a range of skin woes - from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging - and are best used after washing your face in the evening.

Did we mention...
Mandelic acid is a natural anti-bacterial solution. This combats clogged pores while boosting cell regeneration and elasticity. The result? Say goodbye to wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.
Tips & Tricks...
Everyone's skin is different, so use every other day to start.
Step 1
Wipe pad across forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!). From the forehead, move to cheek and down to jawline. Then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 2
Repeat on other side of face.
Step 3
Last, apply to nose and chin. Careful around corners of mouth and corners of nose, where skin is more sensitive. *Do not use more than once a day if skin around the mouth is too sensitive.

Want Amazing Skin? Add This to Your Skincare Routine
You need to add Mandelic acid into your skincare routine. Here's why...
Mandelic acid is a powerful, yet gentle acid that goes to battle with the oil, acne, and bacteria that disrupts the skin’s natural glow. Mandelic acid also provides a slight exfoliation, dislodging dead skin cells to loosen clogged pores and penetrating the skin to boost cell regeneration and skin elasticity.
What does all of this mean? If you struggle with blemishes, oily skin, dark spots, fine lines, acne or aging skin (so pretty much everyone!), then Mandelic acid is a must in your skincare routine.
the cleanser
Our Mandelic Acid 5+ Gel Cleanser with Green Tea Antioxidant is a cocktail of alpha hydroxy acid paired with hops, green tea to clean, clarify and rejuvenate your skin. The hops brighten, while the antioxidants in green tea soothe skin irritations and the mandelic acid minimizes the appearance of pores while also exfoliating the skin.
