Ever wondered why your skincare routine isn’t able to achieve those miraculous results that you see from beauty influencers all over social media? While it’s true that, in most cases, skincare needs a while to work, it could also be down to the products in your routine.
If you’re wondering what you can do to achieve skin that looks better than it ever has, follow these steps from Bionyx:
Start With the Rhodium Mousse Cleanser
Your skincare products need a clean slate in order to properly penetrate your skin. This is why the first step of every skincare routine is to cleanse. However, the cleanser that you use will have a huge effect on the results that you see, with the Bionyx Rhodium Mousse Cleanser being one that can have a transformational effect on the complexion.
What’s so great about this cleanser?
To start with, its surfactants. Rather than making use of sulfates, which commonly irritate and dehydrate the skin, this cleanser uses cleansing agents that are derived from coconuts. They have a much gentler nature while also boasting conditioning properties that leave the skin feeling ultra-soft.
You’ll also notice amino acids on this cleanser’s ingredient list. These are great for your skin’s natural protective barrier. They’ll leave this barrier feeling stronger and more resilient, which will give your skin a healthier-looking finish.
You won’t need to worry about this cleanser being unsuitable for your skin type either. Mousse cleansers are generally well received by all. They lather up enough to work well on oily skin yet they’re moisturizing enough to not irritate or inflame dry/sensitive skin types.
Exfoliate With the Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling
The next step is to exfoliate. This will slough away the dead skin cells that have built up on your skin – a process that’s constantly occurring. While your skin naturally sheds these cells when you’re young, this slows down with age. The result is skin that looks dull and rough.
Another benefit to exfoliating is that it clears the way for the rest of your skincare products to be easily absorbed into your skin. They’ll be able to work more efficiently thanks to the fact that there won’t be any dead skin cells blocking the way.
With that said, if you want your skin to look fresh and radiant, you shouldn’t irritate it with an overly potent exfoliator. A gentle touch is a must, which is exactly what the Bionyx Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling provides. In addition to exfoliating the skin, this peel also hydrates while the colloidal platinum in the formula leaves the skin with an illuminated appearance.
Mask Up
Now that your skin has been cleansed and exfoliated, it’s time to turn to a face mask. Masks tend to feature heavily concentrated formulas, making them a game-changer when it comes to quickly bringing about changes in the complexion.
While there are plenty of masks out there to choose from, let’s not forget that this routine is all about making your skin look better than it ever has! There are two masks in particular that will get you to that stage…
The first is the Bionyx Platinum Transformative Thermal Mask. This is the mask to choose if your skin feels oily and congested. It’s a thermal clay mask, making it much more effective at removing excess grease than a regular clay mask. It’s packed full of vitamins and other antioxidants too, all of which will leave your skin looking revived.
Meanwhile, if your skin is dry, the Bionyx Alloy Magnetic Synergy Mask is what you need. It’s a magnetic mask that’s infused with richly moisturizing oils, including hemp seed, baobab, and marula. Once you use the magnet to remove the mask, the oils are left behind on the skin. Massage them in and your skin will feel deeply hydrated, so much so that it will take on a radiant glow pretty much straight away!
Hydrate With the Rhodium Facial Toner
Up until now, all of the skincare products that you’ve applied are designed to be removed from the skin, whether this is after 30 seconds like your cleanser or 15 minutes for your face mask. Now, however, it’s time to move on to the products that remain on your skin, starting with a toner.
Do you really need to use a toner? It’s not essential but, if you’re aiming to get your skin to the point where it looks and feels better than ever, it definitely deserves a spot in your routine.
Of course, not any toner will do. They’re not created equally, with some being much better than others. Many toners are notorious for drying the skin out, which is not what you need. Instead, your skin would benefit from a formula that hydrates and soothes your complexion, just like the Bionyx Rhodium Facial Toner.
There are a few noteworthy ingredients in this toner, starting with sodium hyaluronate. This is revered for being one of the best hydrating ingredients around due to how it quickly binds moisture to the skin. Niacinamide, aka vitamin B3, is in this mix too. It calms the feeling of inflammation while also evening out the skin tone to leave the skin looking better balanced.
Target With the Alloy Platinum Synergizing Serum
Now that your skin has been adequately prepped, it’s time to target your visible skin concerns with a serum. Again, there’s definitely no shortage of serums out there. However, if you’re looking for one that can quickly produce noticeable results, you won’t go wrong with the Bionyx Alloy Platinum Synergizing Serum.
This serum is a true multi-tasker. This one formula is capable of helping with so many different visible skin concerns. How? It all comes down to its diverse ingredient list.
Vitamin C, in the form of 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, is one of the ingredients worth paying attention to. Numerous studies confirm that vitamin C is a superstar at reducing the appearance of aging. It helps to lighten the look of hyperpigmentation too.
Sodium hyaluronate is in this serum too. You’ll have already given your skin this ingredient with the toner that you used but doubling up never hurts! After all, the more hydrated your skin is, the plumper and brighter it will look.
Finally, let’s talk peptides. Again, they’re ingredients that all skin types would benefit from. They strengthen the feel of the skin barrier, which then improves the complexion in multiple ways.
Apply the Rhodium Advanced Eye Cream
While all of the products you’ve applied so far will benefit the skin around your eyes, it’s important to remember that this area needs some extra TLC. It’s much thinner than the skin everywhere else, meaning that it’s more prone to dehydration, wrinkling, and other problems.
So, for this routine, always use an eye cream. Again, pick a multi-purpose formula that’s able to help with a variety of different eye-related visible skin concerns, just like the Bionyx Rhodium Advanced Eye Cream.
This eye cream has a silky, lightweight texture yet it still features an array of incredible ingredients. It hydrates, de-puffs the look of the skin, lightens the appearance of dark circles, and smooths away the visibility of wrinkles. It also calms the feeling of inflammation while restoring radiance!
Lock it All in With a Moisturizer
By this stage, your skin should be looking pretty good! However, there are still one or two steps that you need to take, depending on the time of day. Moisturizing comes first, although this will also be your final step if you’re following this routine in the evening.
Moisturizing is something that everyone should be doing, no matter your skin type. During the day, go with a lightweight moisturizer so that it won’t matter if you layer makeup over the top, or happen to sweat a lot. The Bionyx Rhodium Essential Day Cream would be perfect for this.
Meanwhile, if it’s evening, your skin will need a richer formula. Moisture loss increases overnight, so your moisturizer needs to be able to compensate for this. Nighttime is also when your skin cells focus on regeneration and repair. Ideally, your chosen night cream should leave your skin cells feeling supported as they go about these tasks. This is exactly why we created the Bionyx Rhodium Night Recovery Cream. It’s a lush formula that will immediately have your skin feeling smoother and more supple.
Finish With SPF
Last but not least, SPF. This is a step that you can skip in the evenings but it’s essential during the day. Simply put, if you allow your skin to be damaged by the sun, you won’t achieve the flawless finish you’re hoping for. Even a small amount of UV exposure is enough to trigger inflammation while giving your skin a more uneven appearance.
While many people dislike using SPF, this is only because they haven’t yet found a product that works for them! We won’t lie – this can take a while. You’ll need to first decide whether you want to use a chemical or a mineral sunscreen, before then trying a few products to see which your skin responds best to.
You’ll also need to ensure that you apply your sunscreen at the correct stage of your routine. Chemical sunscreens work best when they’re near the skin. Therefore, they should be applied before you use your moisturizer. However, mineral sunscreens need to be sitting on the outermost layer of the skin, so should be applied as your very final step.
Enjoy Your New Glow!
The skincare routine that we’ve featured above won’t let you down if you’re looking for a way to enhance your glow and encourage your skin to look better than it ever has. Follow the steps that we’ve detailed and you should see an improvement in your complexion pretty much straight away. Stick with this routine in the long run and those improvements will only continue, enabling you to maintain your new glow for many years to come!
