AM VS PM Skincare Routines for Achieving Ageless Beauty

Our skin is under the influence of circadian rhythms that alter the skin’s behaviour throughout the day and night. Skin protection and sebum production is at the highest during the day in comparison to the night, when DNA repair, cell proliferation, moisture loss and barrier penetration reach their peak.

 By working with the skin’s biological rhythms and establishing day and night skincare rituals that are rich in intelligent ingredients you are well on your way to achieving ageless beauty.

 In the morning; cleanse, protect and hydrate

 During the day the main focus of your routine should be protecting the skin’s delicate surface against the effects of environmental stress from pollution and UV damage to the skin. These are regarded as modern contributors to skin damage and atmospheric skin aging.

 We recommend starting your day with a cleanser to effectively cleanse away surface impurities and provide a clear pathway for the delivery of intelligent ingredients and age-defying antioxidants.

 Our Ecdysis Bio-Ferment Enzyme Cleanse harnesses the benefits of natural AHA fruit acids and probiotics to purify the skin and increase cellular renewal for a more refined, smooth and brightened complexion.

 After cleansing your skin, it’s time to think about day-time serums. Serums are light-weight, high-absorbing formulations consisting of anti-oxidants and cellular communicating ingredients that normalise the skin’s behaviour and promote a healthy complexion.  Our Luminosity Serum contains Vitamin C to brighten and illuminate skin by boosting the production of collagen and elastin to promote an even skin tone.

 Vitamin C acts as a free radical scavenger to protect against environmental stress and prevent UV damage to the skin during the day.

To amplify hydration and prevent moisture loss, layer serums prior to creams and facial oils for the most effective penetration of active ingredients.

 At night; cleanse, repair and hydrate  

 At night your skincare focus should shift to nocturnal repair by promoting cellular renewal. By including intelligent skincare in your night-time routine you can optimise the penetration of intelligent ingredients and accelerate your skin’s turnover and cellular repair process for ageless beauty.  

 Start by deeply cleansing your skin with Ecdysis, our indulgent and luxurious cream cleanser to effectively cleanse away surface impurities and remove makeup. For a deeper cleanse, leave Ecdysis on for 5-10 minutes, to allow the enzymes and fruit acids to deeply cleanse the pores and exfoliate the skin. The use of a face cloth will assist gentle and effective removal of heavy make-up.  

 Our Immortelle Serum contains niacinamide and retinol that act as cellular communicating ingredients to tell skin exactly how to behave, encouraging the production of youthful and healthy skin. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) assists to normalise skin function, promote calmness and clarity, reduce inflammation and excess sebum production to reveal healthy normal skin. Retinol stimulates cellular turnover and renewal to promote a smoother, firmer and renewed tone that diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promotes a dewy, brighter and youthful appearance to skin. 

 Finish off your routine with a multi-tasking moisturiser, such as our Metamorphis Multivitamin Creme. This product goes beyond surface hydration to work in synergy with the skin, delivering age defying results and combating the effects of daytime pollution that cause atmospheric aging on the skin.  

 Add a few drops of our Papaya + Pomegranate Facial Oil into your moisturiser to deeply hydrate and nourish your skin with replenishing nutrients. Remember, sleep deprivation and disrupting your body’s natural sleep rhythm has a detrimental effect on your skins appearance and ageing, so make sure you are getting enough sleep each night!
