Post-summer skin makeover. Best routines to get your luminosity back.

The last days of summer are drawing to a near, and many are lamenting this moment. The hedonism of the heat and the freedom of summer is liberating. While we love the sexiness of summer, right now we’re about ready for a change. Who said that Autumn cannot be just as thrilling, but in a different way? Think about it, no melting face/makeup, heat exhaustion, or flushed skin.

Every year, around this time, we start to get excited about the newness that Autumn brings. Cozy temperatures, the change of the season, a different wardrobe, and a new skin routine to change things up.

Now’s the perfect time to start a skin makeover routine, so you can return to work looking refreshed and healthy, not like “the party is over”.

Did you know that small, but key tweaks are all you need to reignite your skin routine during this critical period? And at Beauty Thinkers, we don’t believe more is more, so the answers are probably already in your Beauty Thinkers routine.

Our skin minimalist philosophy focuses on comprehensively addressing the basic needs that our skin requires to be healthy: 1) Hydration, 2) Moisturizing Nourishment, and 3) UV Care. When these three basic needs are met, we find that we can reduce or eliminate many common, but avoidable skin concerns. To be sure, you don’t need many products or actives to build a solid, Preventative skin routine.

This allows you to continue to use Beauty Thinkers year-round and by just tweaking the timing that you use our products and the amount you use, you can stay ahead of the curve when the season changes.

Let’s get started.

Week 1
Relief

At this time, our skin is feeling dry, tender, irritated, and tight. All we want is soothing relief. Now’s not the time to introduce retinoids, exfoliators, or any ingredients/products which are potentially irritating.

You want to calm your skin in this immediate period.

MORNING ROUTINE

Step 1: SOOTHING NOURISHMENT << DOPO SOLE After Sun Restore

Step 2: SUNSCREEN PROTECTION << UVA UVB SPF 30 Mineral Filter

EVENING ROUTINE

Step 1: HYDRATING & SKIN BARRIER SUPPORT << HYDRATOR 3

Step 2: MOISTURIZING NOURISHMENT << ANTIOXIDANT BOOST

SEMI-SLUGGING

For two nights, increase ANTIOXIDANT BOOST to 5-12 drops for a non-greasy hydrating and nourishing mask.

SOOTHING RELIEF.

DOPO SOLE After Sun Restore targets the appearance and sensations of irritation and dryness. We formulate with Aloe, Shea butter, and Panthenol, well-known for their moisturizing nourishment benefits. But did you know they are also the go-to ingredients for soothing? It’s the reason why everyone with a tattoo will tell you the importance of Panthenol post tattoo.

And of course, you will find high levels of our beloved Hydroxytyrosol antioxidant to target the signs of UV-generated photodamage. The optimum time to use high-activity antioxidants are during the day to help neutralize highly damaging UV-generated free radicals.

REPLENISH HYDRATION.

During the summer, we lose so much hydration when we sweat. What are some of the signs of dehydrated skin? Tightness, roughness, irritation, pronounced lines, and sensitivity. Sound familiar?

This is the time to focus on hydrating your post-summer parched skin. We believe that a healthy skin is always a well-hydrated skin.

We formulate HYDRATOR 3 Barrier Support with actives to attract and retain water: Glycerin, TMB (Betaine), and Illipe Butter, and our proprietary Enzymatic extra virgin olive oil. You see, hydration is important, but keeping it is equally important. Otherwise, it is like pouring water into a cup with a hole at the bottom.

Here, you will also find high levels of our beloved Hydroxytyrosol antioxidant to target the signs of UV-generated photodamage.

FUN FACT. Did you ever notice that your skin sometimes feels oiler in the summer, even if you have dry skin? This can happen when your skin is dehydrated over an extended period and your body reacts by producing more oil to try and reduce further water loss. So, keeping your skin well-hydrated can also help keep your skin in balance.

SKIN BARRIER SUPPORT.

At this moment, your skin barrier is probably also feeling a little vulnerable. What are some causes of skin barrier disruption? UV rays, wind, lack of sleep, and poor diet – unfortunately, all things typical of summer.

A damaged skin barrier allows water to escape more quickly and is one of the causes of skin dehydration. A healthy skin barrier is your skin’s first defence to help retain hydration.

In HYDRATOR 3 Barrier Support we also formulate with biotech Ceramides and Phytosphingosine to help support the protective function of your skin barrier which helps the skin to retain water.

You see, not only does Hydrator 3 hydrate the skin, but it also supports the skin’s own mechanism to retain hydration. You’re one and done.

MOISTURIZING NOURISHMENT FUNCTION.

This is the perfect time to introduce a facial oil into your routine. It seals in all hydration, nourishment, actives, and serums. ANTIOXIDANT BOOST is the moisturizing oil serum that also nourishes your skin barrier while helping to seal everything in without a hint of greasiness.

BROAD-SPECTRUM PROTECTION.

Now’s not the time to stop using a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Our UVA UVB SPF30 Mineral Filter is also moisturizing for an added nourishment (always a good idea). Mineral filters are also recommended UV filter for those with sensitive skin.

WEEK 2-5:
Restore Vibrancy

In week two, your skin should be feeling calmer and much less irritated. Now is the moment to focus on restoring your skin vibrancy.

Phase out DOPO SOLE After Sun Restore in the morning (don’t worry, you can continue to use DOPO SOLE down the road whenever you feel stressed or run-down to calm your skin) and replace with HYDRATOR 3.

When used twice daily, HYDRATOR 3 visibly improves the signs of skin barrier damage in just five days.1 And in just 28 days, hydration increased +60%. Skin appears noticeably vibrant, rebalanced, hydrated, nourished, and plump.

With just a few tweaks in your current skin routine, you can return to skin vibrancy with minimal effort and product change. The best look for Autumn 2023? Healthy and refreshed.
