Maximize AmnioWell With Daily Skincare
Skincare is essential. It’s important to take care of our skin every. single. day. Don’t just wait until before a special occasion or treatment to take care of your skin the way it deserves to be taken care of.
While the AmnioWell Skin treatment may work wonders, it shouldn’t be the only step you take to nurture your face. Maximize AmnioWell by maintaining your skin between AmnioWell facials with a dedicated skincare routine.
A Routine That Works
Everyone’s skin is different. Don’t forget that a routine that works is a routine that works for you. I’m excited to share my routine with you, but keep in mind that what works for me may be different than what works for you, and that’s okay! My best advice is to begin by determining what type of skin you have. Is your skin oily, or dry? Are you sensitive to certain ingredients? Do you experience dry patches? While all of these conditions are absolutely normal, they will affect what products will work best for your personally. Don’t hesitate to consult your dermatologist regarding your particular skin type.
My Skincare Routine
All right, let’s get into it.
Cleanser
In the morning, I cleanse with a gentle cleanser. I have extremely sensitive skin and Cetaphil Face and Body Gentle Skin Cleanser works best for me. I want to emphasize the Face & Body formula. On a quick Target run once I grabbed the first bottle in the aisle and after just a day of using it I began to break out. I closed my eyes praying that the formula hadn’t changed (don’t you hate when they do that!?) only to realize that I had been using the Daily Facial Cleanser. The culprit? *Masking Fragrance.* An absolute nightmare for sensitive skin, and an agitator for all skin types. If you’ve watched as many Skincare by Hyram videos on Tik Tok as me, then you already know what I’m talking about. Whichever cleanser you use, check your ingredients and if fragrance is listed give it another thought before buying.
Creams & Serums
After cleansing, I used to apply a topical antibiotic prescribed by a dermatologist for my rosacea and acne prone skin. This step may not be necessary for some with the use of AmnioWell. The inflammation from rosacea is often addressed by AmnioWell facials. My skin is naturally oily, and as I mentioned extremely sensitive, so I’ve had a tricky time finding a serum that I like. But, if you’ve found one this would be the step to use it at. Many people benefit from vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, or squalene to name a few.
Moisturizer & SPF
Finally, I wrap things up with an SPF moisturizer. For dryer skin types you may want to separate these steps for maximum moisture. I use a combined formula for oily skin to prevent excess secretion. If you do separate your moisturizer, apply the moisturizer first and then your SPF. As a general rule, you’ll want to apply products from thinnest to thickest. It’s also helpful to wait a moment or two after applying each product to allow maximum absorption.
Nighttime Skincare
In the evening, I cleanse again with Cetaphil. If I’ve worn makeup during the day or feel particularly oily, I’ll double cleanse beginning with a micellar water followed by a cleanse with Cetaphil.
Next, I apply a retinol cream prescribed by a dermatologist which helps manage my acne and promote anti-aging. This combined with the anti-aging properties of AmnioWell creates amazing results for my skin. Retinol promotes cell turnover and AmnioWell communicates directly with cells to rejuvenate the skin, which results in a brand new baby face for me. Since my skin is oily I don’t experience any dryness using a retinol, but keep in mind that for other skin types it may be drying.
Love The Skin(care) You’re In
Whatever our skin’s condition, we can always benefit from caring for it. It’s the largest organ in our body after all! It’s also our first line of defense against toxins and free radicals. Free radicals such as smoke, air pollution, and chemicals can damage cells, protein, and DNA. By promoting our own overall wellness and investing in quality skincare we can provide our skin with the best tools to protect us, and when our own skin falls short we can seek additional means such as AmnioWell to boost our cells’ function and response.
