Remove makeup, oil and dirt with a good cleanse two times per day (morning and night).
Cleansing your face is an essential part of a successful skincare routine. It prevents your pores from getting clogged by makeup, dust, and dirt that your skin is constantly exposed to every day.
Always start with a freshly cleansed face in the morning before you put on any makeup. And never ever go to bed with makeup on. Always cleanse your skin at night before bed to get rid of the makeup and impurities that have accumulated in your skin throughout the day.
Skin exfoliation comes with a lot of powerful benefits. When you exfoliate, you remove the topmost layer of the skin, which is made up of dry, dull, and dead skin cells that seal off the pores and traps impurities that lead to acne and skin breakouts.
Exfoliating also gives your skin a fresh start by peeling off the old skin and revealing a brand-new layer that is free of blemishes and boosts the absorption of skincare products into the skin, making them work even better. Ideally, you should exfoliate twice a week.
WE RECOMMEND: ZO Gentle Cleanser and ZO Exfoliating Polish
Get rid of pollutants left on your face and bring back your skin’s pH level back to normal.
After cleansing and exfoliating your face, you should follow it up with a toner afterwards to restore your skin’s natural pH balance. Without toning, your face will be too weak, rough, and dry after cleansing.
Toner benefits your skin by:
WE RECOMMEND: ZO Calming Toner
This toner is an exclusive blend of conditioners, moisturizers and hydrating agents that soothe the skin. A splash of this amazing toner gives a delightful gentle cooling and instant calming effect on the skin. Tone in the morning and evening after cleansing.
Serums deliver high concentration of active ingredients into your skin, like vitamins do for your body, and are super nourishing for your skin. They contain ingredients to give your skin a boost in every possible direction.
The options are endless when it comes to serums and they can be added to your skincare routine as needed. Apply in the morning and evening.
WE RECOMMEND: ZO Firming Serum or ZO Growth Factor Serum
ZO Firming Serum
A mild, lightweight and tolerable formulation is indicated for all skin types and sensitive skin areas to reinforce skin health and hydrate to support the visible improvement in skin elasticity and firmness.
ZO Growth Factor Serum
A lightweight gel for all skin types that helps minimizes the appearance of expression lines + wrinkles.
ANOTHER SERUM WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
ZO 10% Vitamin C Self-Activating
Vitamin C is a crucial ingredient in your skincare regimen. In short, Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Antioxidants reduce and counteract free radical production. Free radicals damage skin cells and can cause oxidative stress to the skin.
When you use Vitamin C with a broad spectrum sunscreen, the antioxidants in the Vitamin C serum optimize and the UV protection. When sunscreen and Vitamin C are combined studies have shown to help reduce UVB erythema (sunburn). Making SPF and Vitamin C the ultimate power couple.
Why should you care about hydration? From a basic standpoint, a hydrated complexion looks more plump, healthy and youthful looking. Having an adequately hydrated face will help to improve skin elasticity which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Additionally, hydrated skin also helps to combat oiliness.
Hydrating créme temporarily relieves symptoms of severely dry skin while calming skin to soothe visible irritation and replenishing skin’s natural moisture to aid in skin recovery
WE RECOMMEND: ZO Hydrating Créme
A mild, lightweight and tolerable formulation is indicated for all skin types and sensitive skin areas to reinforce skin health and hydrate to support the visible improvement in skin elasticity and firmness.
Sunscreens should be applied everyday rain or shine. It is the best defense against sun damage and aging skin. We recommend a SPF of 30+ higher for the best protection.
WE RECOMMEND: ZO Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30
This dual-action sunscreen, with ZOX12® complex, protects against the damaging effects from UVA/UVB and IR-A rays, and from HEV light. Hydrates and doubles as a makeup primer for a smooth matte finish, diminishing skin imperfections.
For the best sun protection:
1) First apply ZO 10% Vitamin C in the morning along with Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 for the best sun protection.
