As the medical aesthetician at Buinewicz Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa, I provide medical spa services for men and women who want to improve the way their skin looks and feels, as well as addressing any special needs, such as acne and sun damage. Skin care products are the first line of defense for your skin, and I am often asked about my own skincare routine. Here is the regimen that I follow to keep my skin healthy and looking its absolute best.
Step 1: Cleansing
Cleansing should always be the first step in a skincare routine. It helps to remove dirt, oils and impurities from the surface of the skin. If you skip this step, you risk clogging your pores with what is on the surface of the skin. I use Skinceuticals® Replenishing Cleanser. It is great for all skin types, and it helps with any dryness and early signs of aging that may be developing on my skin. I sometimes use long-wear makeup, and this cleanser removes it gently and effectively. I use the Replenishing Cleaner in the morning and evening applying it with a gentle circular motion. This helps to dislodge anything that may be in the pores.
Step 2: Exfoliation
The Replenishing Cleanser does offer some exfoliation benefits, but I want to make sure that my pores are deep cleaned every day. In the evening, I follow the cleanser with the Skinceuticals® Micro-Exfoliating Scrub to remove dead skin cells and smooth the surface of my skin. I prefer to do this in the evening because that is when my skin has been exposed to the most environmental irritants.
Step 3: Hydration
My approach to keeping my skin hydrating is to give it the extra boost it needs to maintain a healthy balance. In the morning I use SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier. I dab about four to six drops on my neck, forehead, cheeks and chin. I use the product before I apply my sunscreen. I also use the Skinceuticals® Lip Repair to help keep my lips hydrated and supple.
Hydration is also a part of my evening skincare routine. I use Skinceuticals® Resveratrol B E to add antioxidants to my skin to help with a glowing complexion and firm skin. One or two drops is all that is needed.
Step 4: Sun Protection
I like my sunscreens to feel light and natural on my skin. I use Skinceuticals® Light Moisture UV Defense SPF 50 before I apply my makeup, and I also use it on my body. The oil-free formula means that I barely notice that I am using sunscreen, and it doesn’t interfere with my makeup application.
