Are You Applying Skincare Products Correctly?
You Have the Right Products...Now Learn How to Apply Them
Once you've stocked your cabinets full of our great beyond complexion products, the next step is to make sure you are applying them correctly so you get maximum results!
One of our most loved products is our Mandelic Acid 5+ Retexturizing Pads. 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.

Take Care of Your Eyes and Neck
Revolutionary Eye + Neck Complex
Combat dark circles and frail skin.
It's time to talk about taking care of some of your most delicate skin - under your eyes and your neck. While we might not be able to help you get more sleep every night, we can help you tackle those pesky dark circles and frail neck skin. Our Intensive Eye & Neck Complex contains Swiss apple stem cells paired with retinol and tripeptide molecules to provide the newest, most potent technology to transform areas around the eyes, neck, and chest for noticeable results.
Adding our Intensive Eye & Neck Complex is just step one in enhancing your skincare routine. Here are a few other tips for treating your delicate skin well.
Be gentle when applying cream to the fragile skin under your eyes and neck. Always pat product into your skin instead of rubbing.
Also be gentle when removing makeup. We suggest using a makeup remover to gently wipe off makeup. Again, don't tug and pull the gentle skin.
Protect your skin with SPF. Make sure to protect delicate skin with our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF 30. Pat along your eye (but careful not to get it in your eyes!) and neck area.
Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol dry out the skin and should be consumed in moderation.

Too much fun in the sun.
You forgot to reapply and you have a sunburn...now what?
It's summer! And that means sand, boats, beaches, oceans and lots of fun...and lots and lots of sun. Sometimes -- no matter how hard you try, or how much sunscreen you put on -- a day outside can mean you end up with a sunburn.
While sunburns aren't ideal, we get real life and know that it happens. So, what do you do if you get a burn? Immediately take care of your skin!
Here's how:
First, start with our Green Tea & Pomegranate Antioxidant Cleanser. This soothing cleanser is designed to calm the skin and to alleviate redness and puffiness while also stimulating cellular regeneration, encouraging dead skin cells to move along and make way for newer, fresher skin.
PS -> You can use this cleanser all over your face, scalp, and body.
Next, you'll want to be sure to moisturize and protect your face with our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF if you'll be out in the sun again soon. This lightweight sunscreen improves the appearance of fragile skin and helps with discoloration while also creating a powerful shield to protect skin from UVA/UVB rays.
If you're heading to bed right after your burn, we suggest keeping your face ultra-moisturized with our Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30. Our lightweight yet super moisturizing cream is a mix of aloe vera, vitamin E, and botanical oils, which hydrates the skin without clogging pores. These natural products also reduce redness, calming and soothing the skin.
Get Your Skin Glowing This Summer
Make sure you have your summer essentials.
Summer can do a number on your skin. We’ve all gotten a little too familiar with the sun at some point in our lives and lived to regret the burn and dry skin the next day. With the sun, the sweat, and the heat all making an impact, it’s incredibly important that you pay attention to your skin. The right skincare routine during the summer is essential to keep your skin hydrated, glowing and protected.
Protect Your Skin
SPF is always a must.
Before you bound out of the house for a walk, jog, stroll or just sipping a coffee at an outside café, make sure you first protect your skin with SPF. Lathering up with SPF doesn’t have to be like it was when you were a kid – we’re not suggesting bright orange zinc oxide! – but, making sure you’ve got a good layer of protection is still a must. Check out our light, yet powerfulSPFs that will keep your skin glowing AND protected all summer long.
