MORNING ROUTINE ☀️
Step 1: Cleanse with Clarify Salicylic Acid Foaming Cleanser 🌿
Wet your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of Clarify Salicylic Acid Cleanser to your fingertips and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat your face dry. You can use morning and night without stripping the skin however once oil production is regulated we recommend adding Benefit Clean Gentle Cleanser for morning use and continuing Clarify Salicylic Acid Cleanser as an active evening cleanser. We do NOT recommend use of this product or any product containing Salicylic Acid if you are pregnant or lactating.
Step 2: Benefit Toner 🌱 (NOT included in Kit, Available for purchase a la carte)
Apply Benefit Antioxidant Toner to balance your skin's pH levels and tighten pores. Use after cleansing. Moisten a cotton pad with the product and swipe it over your face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Allow it to dry before applying the next product!
This step can help balance your skin's pH and enhance the absorption your serum application.
Step 3: Apply Clarity Skin-Clarifying Serum ✨
Dispense a small (pea sized) amount of the Clarity Serum onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum into your skin using upwards and outwards motions.

Step 4: Apply Hydrate+ SPF (NOT included in Kit, Available for purchase a la carte)
Highly Recommended: If you are leaving out the house during daylight hours you will need environmental protection from pollution and sun exposure. Sunscreen helps protect your skin from further damage. Hydrate+ SPF is the perfect moisturizer + SPF combination designed to offer sun protection while providing hydration to the skin. You can use Hydrate+ in replace of Shineless however Hydrate+ moisturizer is not oil free.
We also recommend leveling up to Peptide Rich SPF 50 by Cosmedix for full spectrum coverage.
EVENING ROUTINE 🌙
The skin goes through a natural repair and regeneration process at night, know as the circadian rhythm. This is when cell turnover and collagen production tend to be more active. Using deeper more penetrating active ingredients at night can leverage this natural process and maximize their effectiveness.

Take your time building your skin care supply. Remember, skin care doesn't have to be overly complicated or expense. This starter kit will help you learn the basic fundamental steps and your esthetician will help you build from this baseline at your pace and budget. Every month get excited about replenishing your favorite products and introducing additional skin care into the routine.
Remember, skincare results can vary person to person, so be patient and give the product time to work. It may take several weeks to see noticeable results from a new routine. Consistency is KEY. Execute your Morning & Evening Regime every day to achieve best results.
If you experience any irritation or adverse reaction, discontinue use and contact your esthetician. We may need to introduce serums gradually as we rebuild the skin barrier and avoid overloading the skin.
