Daily Beauty Routine
Step 1 – cleansing
Did you know that cleansing and cleaning your skin daily is one of the most important parts of your skin care routine? By cleansing your skin every day, you prevent dirt (such as exhaust gases and air pollution) from building up and causing impurities. Dirt can also accumulate on your skin from within due to sweating and hormonal fluctuations. At night, skin waste products and fats are produced, which stay on your skin, and extra skin fats are produced. Therefore, you should clean your skin in the morning and in the evening. A cleansed skin also absorbs active ingredients (such as your serum or cream) better. At aWondr., we advise you to cleanse your skin with a cleanser to remove superficial dirt (including make-up).
Step 2 – exfoliate
After your skin has been cleansed of superficial dirt, a deeper cleaning can be done with an acid (exfoliant). An exfoliant gently removes dead skin cells without damaging the skin. Did you know that scrubbing actually causes small damages to the skin? At aWondr., we advise you to exfoliate instead of scrubbing. This way, clogged pores and pimples are prevented, wrinkles become less deep, and the skin becomes less dull. The assortment of aWondr. will be larger in the future so that we can provide you with all the products you need for your daily skincare routine.
TIP: If you have never used an exfoliant before, gradually introduce it to your skin.
Step 3 – serum
After cleansing and exfoliating, your skin absorbs a nourishing serum better. A serum provides extra support to the skin’s functions, is caring and helps correct the skin (for example, for wrinkles). Often, serums contain relatively small molecules of active ingredients, which can be absorbed more quickly and efficiently by the skin. A serum is more concentrated with active ingredients than a cream, making it more targeted in tackling a specific skin problem. Such a concentrated boost is ideal for tackling skin issues such as pigmentation, aging or redness, but not necessarily for protecting the skin against harmful external influences. Therefore we advise to always use a day and night cream in addition to a serum.
Step 4 – during the day
During the day, the skin is exposed to external harmful substances such as the sun and polluted air. A day cream protects the skin against this and should contain active, nourishing ingredients. In addition to active algae, aWondr. day cream contains a high percentage of vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide. This is a very versatile vitamin with hydrating, calming, and texture-improving properties. Furthermore, our day cream contains hyaluronic acid and various other active ingredients that restructure and hydrate the skin and promote the production of natural hyaluronic acid. This composition has a restorative, hydrating, and strong anti-wrinkle effect. Moreover, the aWondr. day cream improves your natural tone of the skin.
TIP: Always use SPF 30 in addition to a day cream when going outside to protect yourself against sun damage.
Step 5 – evening
When the sun sets, our skin enters the “recovery mode.” The skin repairs the damage it has suffered during the day and gives a boost to cell renewal and repair processes. At night, the skin is warmer than during the day and has a more acidic pH. Moreover, while you sleep, the skin produces less fats than during the day and loses moisture. Since the skin does not have to defend itself against UV rays and other environmental factors, it can recover and repair the damage suffered during the day. During the development of the night cream from aWondr. this important recovery process has been taken into account. In addition to the active algae, aWondr. night cream contains retinol and various active ingredients that promote the production and renewal of skin cells and stimulate the production of collagen. The composition has a supporting effect on the natural resistance of your skin.
