OPTION PRE-STEP: REMOVE MAKEUP AND SUNSCREEEN

Use a quality makeup remover such as Gentle Face Cleansing Pads to eliminate your makeup application. I love a great cleansing oil, like Gelee Oil Cleanser. Not all cleansers adequately remove SPF, cleansing oils are a great choice. When using an oil cleanser, apply to dry skin, rub in circles, and then add water to emulsify and lift makeup and SPF.


STEP 1: CLEANSER

Select your cleanser to gently cleanse your face and neck. Refer to “What Is My Skin Type” blog post to learn more about selecting the best products for your skin. But to make it simple for example.


  1. Borage Leaf Foaming Cleanser - All but Senstive

Creamy foamy, gently exfoliates, brighten, and soothes.

  1. Chamomile Cleansing Lotion - Dry, Sensitive

Creamy, healing, nourishing.

  1. Dermaclenz Liquid Cleanser - Acne, Oily, Combo

  1. Limu Facial Cleanser - Normal, Dry, Combo, Sensitive

  1. Vitamin C Cleanser - All Skin Types

STEP 2: EXFOLIANT

Choose an exfoliant that is gentle on your face. Do not use a body scrub on the face, unless it explicitly states for “face and body”. Some exfoliants are designed for everyday usage, while others are 2-3x a week. Select, based on your skin’s tolerance and sensitivity. You may apply less than the general recommendation. Unsure? Consult with Amethyst.

STEP 3: TONER

Toners may hydrate, tighten follicles, and or fight bacteria. They can also pH balance the skin if cleansing with unfiltered water. Herbal Astringent Pads gently exfoliate and clarify the skin. Hydrating Ginseng Pads energize, soothe, and refresh the skin. Check your toner pads for any residual remains. If you see makeup or dirt buildup, cleanse once again. These toners are also available in spray bottles, if you prefer to refresh your skin with a spray, Sea Mineral Detox Pads as a toner spray is Ocean Mist Toner. If you’re using a heavier toner like Vital Hydrant Toner, leave on for your skin to drink up, do not remove.

During the intense summer months, or bright sunny days in the mountains, up to SPF 50 may be recommended.
