Makeup & spf removal
You wouldn't shower with your clothes on. So think of "makeup" or SPF as clothes on your face that act like a barrier on your skin. This is where double cleansing comes in. It's a two-step process that involves using a "high oil or oil only content" based cleanser first to dissolve makeup and SPF, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. Our top tip is to remove makeup and SPF by double cleansing using our dedicated "Flash Balm" Pre Cleanser, as it ensures a thorough and gentle cleansing process.
Cleansing is vital
It is the foundation for keeping your skin healthy and speeding up cellular turnover. Cellular turnover is the process of shedding dead skin cells and replacing them with new ones, which is crucial for maintaining a youthful and radiant complexion. Our top tip when using Skin-rg, is when applying the cleanser, massaging it in thoroughly and leaving it on for a few minutes to let all the benefits really dive into your skin. Then, wash off with warm water and a cloth.
To tone or not to tone?
Gone are the days of harsh alcohol toners. Instead, Skin-rg has created “vitamin skin drinks”, which are toners rich in vitamins to boost your skin's immunity. Top tip: Why not try our latest "Hydra Veil Gel Toner" Hybrid, an isotonic, hyaluronic, toner, serum, and primer in one.

Serums the cornerstone of your routine
Are the cornerstones of a routine and can do almost anything to improve the skin. These concentrated skincare elixirs are a must for tackling your most pressing skincare needs. They make an enviable difference in your skin, and choosing the right skincare routine can make all the difference between good and great skin. Top tip it is crucial to ensure it's always your next step after cleansing and toning so that it works at its best. And of course you can layer different serums from water based ones like Hydra Veil to Oil based ones like Pro Serum Concentrate or reversed depending upon your skins specific needs.
How to apply a serum
While the skin is still slightly damp from cleansing or after using a toner, apply a pea-sized amount to the palms and smooth together, then pad onto the skin. Working around the face until fully absorbed. Always pat and press the serum outwards and upward. And remember to work upwards over the neck and décolleté.
Moisturise like a professional
Unlike waiting for your first coat of nail polish to dry, a moisturiser needs to be applied quickly after the serum so you can seal in that goodness. Top tip while the skin is still slightly damp from cleansing or after using a toner, apply to fingertips and lightly dab around the face, increasing the dabs to a light raindrop motion. This stimulates oxygen and blood flow and helps the product to dive in more deeply.
Don't over-apply
Applying twice as much of any product will not yield better results. Top tip Always start with a small half-pump or pea-sized amount and add more if needed. All of Skin-rg products are concentrated. If you find your skin is shiny by lunchtime, or eye makeup is moving or not sitting correctly you could be applying too product; it may have been sucked in, in the morning, but if it's too much, your skin will spit it back out later in the day. So try to apply small amounts thinly and layer.
Boost those peepers
The eye area is the first place to show significant ageing. This is because the skin around your eyes can be up to 50% thinner than your face. Top tip: It is vital to have a specialist formula to penetrate the delicate eye area. Our formulas tackle a range of concerns from grey blue darkness to brown black under the eyes. While smoothing lines and wrinkles, and give gorgeous lift and brightening while reducing puffiness!
Should I use different products in the morning from those at night?
We all know how important it is to eat a healthy range of foods. Your skin is no different. By using gel like energising textures in the morning but opting for omega rich nourishing creamy textures in the evening you receive a cross range of benefits. Also using a dedicated night treatment will work wonders for your skin.
