A beginner skincare routine should focus on essential steps that support skin health without being overly complicated. Here’s a simple routine from Pure + Kiwi that’s effective and easy to maintain:
1. Cleanser
- Purpose: Removes dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin.
- Recommendation: CLEAN SLATE - featuring "Pohutukawa", known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
2. Serum
- Purpose: Using a vitamin C serum in the morning helps protect against environmental damage and brightens the skin.
- Recommendation: REWIND - featuring "Kiwifruit", a potent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant known for its skin-brightening properties.
3. Moisturizer
- Purpose: Hydrates and protects the skin barrier, keeping it soft and resilient.
- Recommendation: COCO LUSH - a oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer offers a blend of hydration, nourishment, and soothing properties. It deeply nourishes and repairs the skin's barrier . It is ideal for sensitive, acne prone or dry skin.
4. Sunscreen (AM Only)
- Purpose: Protects the skin from UV damage, preventing premature aging and skin cancer.- Recommendation: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
> Optional Additions for Targeted Benefits
- Exfoliator (1-2 Times Weekly, PM): Consider incorporating a gentle natural exfoliant, like BUFF OFF, once or twice a week to keep skin smooth and minimize clogged pores.
