Facial skincare is more a matter of discipline than anything else. A facial skincare routine is what you need (and you need to follow the facial skincare routine with complete seriousness). So let’s check what comprises an effective facial skincare routine. Well, very simply, a facial skincare routine can follow the following 4 steps:
Cleansing
Toning
Exfoliating
Moisturizing
Cleansing is the first thing in a facial skincare routine. Cleansing helps in removing dust, pollutants, grease, and extra oil from your skin, thereby preventing damage to your skin. Just spot your face and neck with a good cleansing lotion or cream and gently massage it into your skin using upward strokes. Use a soft face tissue or cotton wool to wipe your face in a gentle patting fashion (do not rub). Cleansing should be done at least twice a day i.e. morning (as part of a complete facial skincare routine) and evening (on a standalone basis). Water-soluble cleansers are the best for inclusion in your facial skincare routine. Try our Sirius Multi-tea Facial Cleanser. It is a creamy, lotion-like cleanser formulated with antioxidant-rich organic green, white, and rooibos teas.
Toning is the next in a facial skin care routine. However, this is the optional part of the facial skincare routine. Mostly, proper cleansing can compensate for toning. Toning helps remove all traces of dirt, grease, and excess cleanser. Instead of making it part of your daily facial skin care routine, you can use toning occasionally i.e. when you have been exposed to a particularly harsh environment/pollution. Our Rosewater Facial Toner is a simple and hydrating facial toner that's formulated to soften and condition the skin while balancing and toning. It is formulated with Lebanese Rose Water, this toner smells just like a freshly blossomed rose.
Exfoliation is again, kind of, an optional step in everyday routine for facial skincare. However, exfoliation is necessary at least once a week (or twice, depending on the skin type and the environmental conditions). Exfoliation finds its place in facial skincare routine because of the natural tendency of skin to replenish the skin cells every 3 or 4 weeks. As a facial skincare technique, exfoliation helps in removing the dead skin cells that block the pores, thus assisting the skin in the natural process. However, excessive or harsh exfoliation can cause damage to your skin; so you need to balance it out. When the power of Rooibos, which contains alpha-hydroxy acids for natural refining and brightening, is combined with eco-friendly, sloughing, and polishing jojoba beads, they work together to reveal soft and supple skin that looks renewed and rejuvenated. Our Sirius Rooibos Facial Exfoliant also contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids for natural refining and brightening. It is combined with eco-friendly, sloughing and polishing Jojoba Beads that work together to reveal soft and supple skin that looks renewed and rejuvenated.
Moisturizing is the last step. In fact, moisturizing is the most important part of a facial skincare routine. Our Rosehip & Hibiscus Facial Lotion is a creamy and luxurious lotion that leaves skin feeling supple, soft, and renewed with a youthful glow! Rosehip is rich in vitamins and omega fatty acids, while Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants and natural acids. Moisturizers prevent your skin from getting dry. Dry skin is really undesirable since it causes the upper layer of skin to break, leading to dead skin cells. Again, use light upward strokes to make the moisturizer more effective. Moisturizers work the best when applied on warm and damp skin. So do not try to remove all the moisture in the previous steps of the facial skincare routine.
