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.

We know the thought of a long, time-consuming skincare routine can seem overwhelming - especially after a long day or a really early morning.
But, guess what? Clear, glowing skin doesn't require 100 steps to get there. In fact, you can get beautiful skin in three easy steps...
Step 1
Cleanse your skin with our all-powerful superhero cleanser. Our BPO 10% Gel Cleanser with Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide contains specially milled USP-grade micronized benzoyl peroxide particles that penetrate the skin faster. Benzoyl opens up pores, letting peroxide enter to clear out bacteria on contact. This irritation-free gel cleanser will gently remove bacteria, dirt, and dead cells to clear acne, fast.

They minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin, plus they help tackle a range of skin woes, from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging. They are easy to use, but we do suggest a specific way to apply them...
How to Apply our Re-texturizing Pads
Step 1: Wipe the pad across your forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!).
Step 2: From the forehead, move to the cheek, down to the jawline, and then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 3: Repeat on the other side of your face.
Step 4: Apply to nose and chin being careful around the corners of the mouth and nose, where skin is more sensitive.
Things to Note: To start, use every other day in the evening after washing your face. As skin begins to adjust to the product, increase to 2 times a day.
If you are battling active acne lesions or impactions, first apply ice to inflamed skin and then proceed with pads.
Make sure to use a moisturizer that includes SPF, like our Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 or our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF 30 as skin will be sensitive to the sun after exfoliating.

Exfoliation on a Whole New Level
Get glowing skin.
Dry, dull skin is something we continuously try and combat. We can try to wash and exfoliate constantly, but sometimes you need something a little more intense to really get your skin looking healthy and glowing.
We are introducing a new procedure at beyond complexion called Dermaplaning. This procedure uses a scalpel on forehead, cheeks, chin, nose, and neck and removes that pesky layer of dead skin cells and the peach fuzz on your face that can trap debris. While you'll love the immediate results when you see your glowing skin, the procedure also has great long-term effects including increased cell turnover, reduction in wrinkles and dark spots, and reduction of acne scarring.
