User skincare routines
You can create your own routine once you've created your free account.
Use every day before going outside, even if it is not sunny. Sunscreen is the last step of your morning skincare routine. You can apply makeup on top of it.
Use a generous amount of product to remove all dirt, sunscreen or makeup in one step. There is no need to double-cleanse. It is a good idea to always finish cleansing with a splash of clean water to remove any residue from the cleanser. Most people only need to cleanse their skin with a cleanser once per day, at night. It is the first step of a night skincare routine.
The active ingredient in this product - benzoyl peroxide - can lead to dryness and irritation. This is why we recommend limiting using this cleanser to every other day (instead of daily). Avoid the area around your eyes when applying this cleanser. Please note that this ingredient can bleach textile (for example, towels).
In my research on here I came across the brand Geek & Gorgeous, which seems to have a good honesty score and some products I'd like to try! I'm happy with my Typology products, but G&G is cheaper and I found it's just as easy for me to order. So this is a possible fall / winter routine for me, where I blend in some new products with some known and trusted ones. I was looking for a new cleansing balm, so I have high hopes for the Geek & Gorgeous one. On days where I don't wear makeup, I'll use the Squalane Cleanser. Previously I had reactions to retinol, but I'd like to try the G&G retinal product, starting with once a week. I've added plenty of soothing products to keep my skin happy. The CBD oil will be swapped with my night cream when I feel like I need it. I will change over to this routine as my current products run out, so it will be a gradual process, which I think is good. Does this look like a balanced routine?
