Step 1: Nourishing & Moisturizing Oil + Foam Cleanser
The products for each step of the routine were incredible, but this product was my favorite from the entire line! The best feeling before bed is the squeaky clean/fresh face feeling and this cleanser absolutely delivered. I don’t like it when I wash my face and then there’s a left over film all over my skin, and I didn’t experience that with this foam cleanser. In addition, the cleanser also removed all my makeup! I never scrub or rub my eyes with any face wash, so I can’t say how it would remove eyeliner or mascara, but it did an excellent job at removing the day’s foundation, blush, SPF, and everything else I put on.
Step 2: Deep Radiance Essence + Serum
The serum was light and a little went a long way. It dried very quickly, so I had to be sure to spread it evenly to avoid pumping more product. The serum drying quickly was a plus, as I felt like my skin was absorbing all the antioxidants and amino acids. Though the serum was a little sticky after applying, it didn’t bother me much because I’d be applying moisturizer in the next step either way.
Step 3: Firm & Lift Cellular Regeneration Cream
This cream really took me by surprise. I mean, my skin was glowing every morning after using the Firm & Lift cream! Though not my favorite scent, the cream was amazing and my second favorite product from the line. I typically go for a moisturizer that is really heavy, basically leaving an extra layer on my skin. My thought process is this: if it’s thick and on top of the skin, it must be hydrating right? At first, I didn’t like the cream because it was so light and I felt like my skin wasn’t absorbing anything (so scientific right?). But, I trusted the 5 step routine and I grew to love the cream.
Step 4: Focus Renewal Eye Cream
Most nights, I don’t use eye cream (bad, I know). Getting ready for bed is a long process for me and one that I really enjoy, but applying a dab of eye cream to my under eye area is the least of my worries. To me, it’s the equivalent of food garnish (whoa, super off track!). I did my very best to use the eye cream, and when I did, I really enjoyed it. My eyes felt immediately refreshed and cool. What a great feeling before bed!
Step 5: Elemental Essence Mask
A face mask has never done me wrong. The Elemental Essence sheet mask was fantastic! It smelled soooo good, which is always a plus in my book. It’s a quick 20 minutes of relaxation before removing the mask to reveal brighter and more hydrated skin. I liked that you could apply the mask right before bed and then sleep with the excess mask serum on your skin. I didn’t even have to get up from bed to rinse off my face or anything. How amazing!
