Build Your Dream Routine: A Beginner's Guide to Skincare with Blendily

The world of skincare can feel overwhelming, especially for beginners. With countless products and complex routines, it's easy to get lost. But fret no more! This guide will help you build a simple yet effective skincare routine using Blendily's all-natural products.

Step 1: Cleanse Like a Queen (or King)

Washing your face removes dirt, oil, and makeup, allowing other products to penetrate deeper. Blendily offers two cleansers to choose from:

  • Aloe Honey Facial Cleanser: This gentle cleanser, perfect for all skin types, is packed with soothing aloe vera and nourishing honey. It washes away impurities without stripping your skin's natural moisture.
  • Almonds Away Cleansing Oil: This oil cleanser melts away impurities without clogging pores. Sweet almond oil leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. We recommend using this cleanser in a double cleanse routine. A double-cleanse typically consists of an oil cleanse as the first step and a gel/lotion/cream cleanser as a second step.

Step 2: Serums - The Secret Weapon

Facial oil serums are powerhouses of concentrated ingredients that target specific concerns. Blendily offers 4 serums:

  • Golden Hour Regenerative serum: This all-rounder is perfect for a radiant glow. It contains ingredients like turmeric and helichrysum, known for their antioxidant and regenerative properties.
  • Ruby Skies Healing serum: This blend heals skin imbalances. Made with St. John's Wort, sage, and avocado oil, it soothes, repairs, and hydrates all skin types, while also targeting concerns like rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.
  • Sapphire Moon Brightening serum: This serum calms and brightens sensitive skin. Azulene (from chamomile & yarrow) gives it a teal hue, while jasmine adds a happy scent. Jojoba and coconut oil nourish, and yarrow promotes brighter skin.
  • Emerald Forest Moisturizing serum: heals and strengthens skin. Packed with wild botanicals like nettles, cleavers and horsetail, it repairs connective tissues, reduces inflammation, and fights bacteria. This serum is ideal for those who want to moisturize, repair, and prevent signs of aging.

Step 3: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Moisturizer hydrates and protects your skin, keeping it plump and healthy. Blendily has two options to suit your needs:

  • Be Splendid Facial Moisturizer: This lightweight moisturizer is perfect for dry to normal skin. It provides deep hydration without feeling greasy.
  • Hello Sunshine Daytime Moisturizer: This daytime moisturizer is your best friend. It contains natural sun-protective qualities while keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day.

Building Your Routine:

Now for the fun part - customizing your routine! Here's a basic structure:

  • Morning:
    • Cleanse with Aloe Honey Facial Cleanser.
    • Followed by either the Rosy Refresh Facial Toner for hydration or the Cool As A Cucumber Facial Toner for more of a cooling effect.
    • Apply Hello Sunshine Daytime Moisturizer with its natural sun-protective qualities.
  • Night:
    • Cleanse again to remove any dirt, makeup, or pollutants so that it won’t lead to clogged pores.
    • Apply your chosen facial oil serum catered towards your skin type.
    • Followed by a Facial Toner of your choice.
    • Finish with the Be Splendid Facial Moisturizer for a healthy and supple skin.

Remember, this is just a starting point! Experiment and find what works best for your unique skin.
