Life moves fast when you’re juggling your career, your family, or both. Your own self-care can take the backseat, but here’s the thing. You deserve love and attention, including your skin! At Sass + Co. Body we believe that skincare doesn't have to be complicated to be effective.
Here is a simple, yet effective easy skincare routine to keep your skin fresh, healthy, and happy.
When you’re short on time, a pared-back skincare routine is your best friend. Overloading your skin with too many products can lead to irritation or confusion about what actually works. Instead, let’s just strip it back and concentrate on the essentials. Cleanse, treat, and protect.
Step 1. Cleanse (1 - 2 minutes)
Start your day (and end it) with a gentle cleanse to remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture.
Your everyday Spearmint Face Cleanser has been engineered for those who work hard, and play harder. Infused with therapeutic spearmint and sage, it’s loaded with antioxidants and natural antibacterial properties to cleanse deeply, tighten pores, and calm inflammation. The cooling spearmint scent is an instant pick-me-up, while sweet almond and jojoba oils nourish and hydrate your skin without stripping away natural oils.
Pro Tip: Use lukewarm water to avoid drying out your skin, and massage the cleanser in gentle circular motions for a refreshing start to the day.
Step 2. Treat (1 minute)
After cleansing it’s time to treat your skin with hydration.
Your Prickly Pear Face Cream is a super-charged daily moisturiser that’s perfect for busy lifestyles. Packed with prickly pear seed oil, mango butter, and essential oils, it delivers mega-moisture, a matte finish, and a subtle uplifting scent. It absorbs quickly, making it ideal for under makeup or no makeup at all.
Pro Tip: Apply your moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp from cleansing for better absorption and to lock in extra hydration.
Step 3. Protect (1 minute)
In the morning, include your favourite sunscreen as part of your routine. Your Prickly Pear face cream works beautifully under sunscreen, so you don’t have to worry about that interfering.
At night you might want to mix step 2 &3 up and add the use of a gentle exfoliant like your Pomegranate Face Exfoliant. This healing and nourishing blend uses natural granulated bamboo to remove makeup and dead skin cells without irritation. Pomegranate aids in cell regeneration, while grapefruit tones and firms your skin, leaving it refreshed and fierce.
Pro Tip: Use your Blood Orange AHA face exfoliant once or twice a week for an extra boost. Its powerful blend of glycolic, lactic, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) refines, exfoliates, and hydrates, giving you a fresh, plumped-up complexion.
Taking care of your skin doesn’t have to be time-consuming or complicated. You can streamline the process for whatever works with you and your routine. It might mean keeping your cleanser in the shower to wash your face in there.
With just a few high quality, plant based products - you can maintain healthy skin on even the busiest of days. Remember self-care isn’t selfish - it’s essential!
