Great skin care is essential for healthy looking skin. Whether you’re wanting a smooth, flawless make-up application, combat fine lines and wrinkles or just have fresh glowing radiant skin. It all starts with great skin care and Avon truly has some of the best skin care in the game!
AM Daily Routine
The rule of thumb when applying skincare is to apply products from lightest to heaviest since thinner products can’t penetrate thicker products. For example, if you applied a moisturizer prior to your serum or spot treatment they would not properly penetrate the skin as needed being the moisturizer has created a barrier over the skin.
Cleanse
Prior to applying any skin care or cosmetics you will definitely want to use a eye makeup remover AND wash your face.
Avon True Color Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover Lotion is excellent for removing eye makeup prior to washing. It’s creamy texture refreshes and moisturizes around the eye area.
Now lets get to the fun stuff!
For best results from your cleanser you will want to use one especially formulated for your skin type.
Here’s what to consider when selecting a cleanser:
- Dry Skin- Creamy, non-foaming washes are ideal for dry skin and their nourishing formula gently removes makeup and impurities while restoring moisture for a soft, smooth and healthy look. Avon’s Isa Knox LXNEW Clean Nourishing Cream Cleanser would be an ideal option at a price that won’t break the bank! Although some people do not like a non-foaming cleanser, Avon’s Isa Knox LXNEW Clean Balancing Gel Cleanser can also be used for dry skin
- Oily Skin- Oily skin is a little trickier. You want to remove the excess oil and shine but not over strip your skin where you feel tight and dry. Avon’s Isa Knox LXNEW Clean Soothing Whipped Oil Cleanser would be a great recommendation and definitely worth looking into!
- Normal/Combination Skin- If your skin is not too dry, not too oily Avon’s Isa Knox LXNEW Clean Balancing Gel Cleanser will do the trick! This special formula is a gel to foam cleaner and can be used on normal, combination and dry skin making it a great starting point if you are unsure of your skin type and specific needs.
- Vegan Skin Care- Avon has excellent options when it comes to Vegan options. Avon’s Farm Rx Super Greens Cleansing Balm and Farm Rx Super Greens Gel Cleanser would be your go-to for a fresh face!
Toner
Toners are great for getting the last bit of dirt, oils, impurities and better prep for your treatments and moisturizers. It can also help minimize pores and give your skin a fresh glow! Although this step isn’t an absolute necessity your skin will surely benefit from it. Avon also offers a wide assortment of toners to help target your skin’s unique needs.
- Dry Skin- A moisturizing toner is fantastic for dry skin, adding a little extra moisture without leaving a heavy residue. Avon has a few amazing moisturizing toners that would be a great addition to your skin care routine.
- Avon’s The Face Shop Mango Seed Moisturizing Toner is the perfect solution if you are looking to add a little extra moisture into your skin care routine. If you are a fan of Korean beauty products The Face Shop Rice & Ceramide Toner would be another great option. My personal favorite is Belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Toner.
- Sensitive Skin- Avon’s The Face Shop The Therapy Vegan Blending Toner and Farm Rx Pineapple Plus Instant Glow Toner are both soothing and moisturizing. It’s also 100% certified vegan.
- Normal Skin- If you have fairly normal skin and just want additional pampering Avon’s Korean beauty toner Jeju Aloe Fresh Soothing Mist contains 90% aloe and is cooling and soothing. It can also be used all over the body, perfect for treating sunburn and other irritations.
Serum
I’ve found most people are not really sure what a serum is or the benefits of adding one to your daily routine. Serums are extremely concentrated doses of nutrients, hydrators, and antioxidants and are seriously the heavy hitter in your routine. Serums often address specific skincare concerns, such as aging, redness, dullness or blemishes. Serums are another optional step but using one will definitely level up your skin care game.
While Avon has a plethora of serums to address signs of aging, dry skin, pore reduction and blemish just to name a few. My personal favorite is Farm Rx Bakuchiol Serum. It’s sooo good and contains bakuchiol, a natural plant-based alternative to retinol that helps visibly reduce wrinkles and discolorations without the same irritation, it’s my absolute must have! You can find your perfect serum here, if you need helping picking the right formula just give me a holler, I’m here to help!!
Farm Rx Bakuchiol Serum
Spot Treatments
Spot treatments would include anything from acne/pimple creams, age spots.
Eye Cream
Eye creams tend to be lighter and thinner than moisturizers, so make sure to apply them before you apply your moisturizer. Eye creams are another optional step but I personally find it an absolute necessity in my quest for younger looking skin. My current favorite for some time is Farm Rx Bakuchiol Eye Cream. I really love Avon Farm Rx line but the eye cream is really something special. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!
Moisturizers
You absolutely need to be using a moisturizer 2 times a day EVERYDAY! NO MATTER WHAT!! It doesn’t matter if you have oily, broken out skin or your skin is sensitive and temperamental you absolutely need moisturizer and with Avon’s huge assortment formulated for just about every skin type I can assure you there is one for you.
A moisturizer not only infuses your skin with hydration, it also seals all the other products in to make the ingredients even more effective.
You will want to use a moisturizer with SPF in the morning. I like Anew Platinum Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 25. A couple of other customer favs would be Avon Anew Ultimate Multi-Performance Day Cream SPF 25
Isa Knox Lxnew Platinum Sculpting Neck + Chest Cream and Isa Knox Anew Clinical Revitalize & Reveal Advanced Wrinkle Corrector.
You can shop all Avon Anew moisturizers and Avon moisturizers here.
REMEMBER – LET YOUR MOISTURIZER SET 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE APPLYING PRIMER/MAKEUP.
PM Routine
Your night time routine is going to essentially be the same are your day time with a few tweaks.
Instead of using a moisturizer a night cream would be used. What is the difference between day cream and night cream you might ask? Day creams are lighter and can contain sunscreen while a night cream is richer and thicker. Night creams also may contain retinol or glycolic acid which can cause sun sensitivity so night time would be best for the use of these ingredients.
