3 Steps To Reset Skin For Spring
Spring is in the air and with it comes an update in skincare. Our Founder & Facialist Claudia, shares her 3 key steps to prepping skin for Spring below, to leave it smooth and radiant...
1. Exfoliate
There are many benefits to regular facial exfoliation including brighter, more even skin tone. However the key benefit is that it unclogs pores and removes dead skin, which allows any products which are applied to the skin afterward, to absorb deeper and up to 70% better - ensuring you get the most from your daily skincare.
You can use a chemical or mechanical exfoliant depending on your skin type and preference. However, you don't want to be damaging the skin with micro-tears. Therefore chemical exfoliators are generally a good idea, but also not tolerated by everyone (especially without professional consultation...). KOSHO Multi-Effect Peeling is a mechanical exfoliation specifically formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Generally, cleansing is required before exfoliation. The vegan KOSHO Creamy Cleansing is a gentle, foaming mousse cleanser, with plant-based surfactants which cleanse without stripping skin. Rosemary & poplar bud extracts regulate sebum production for balanced skin.
KOSHO Multi-Effect Peeling has an "oil-gel" consistency and is applied to dry, cleansed skin. Thanks to the biodegradable, micro-particles of rice and bamboo which are coated in precious oils to avoid micro-tears, this exfoliation and/or mask is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
2. (Re-)Hydrate
Spring is also the time to detox and work on hydration and nourishment of dull and dry winter skin.
Our new Biotulin faceLIFT 4-Week Ampoule Facial Kit provides all this: containing 20 carefully composed ampoules designed to be applied over 4 consecutive weeks (skipping weekends for exfoliations/masks):
Week 1: Skin Detox includes aloe vera, green tea & carnosine to detoxify.
Week 2: Skin Hydration includes short & long-chain hyaluronic acid, proteins and vitamin B5.
Week 3: Skin Plumping harnesses vegan collagen, peptides, plant stem cells and niacinamide to improve skin tone and texture while softening fine lines.
Week 4: Skin Smoothing completes the Biotulin skin reset with the same active ingredients as in the original Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel to visibly smoothen skin.
Should you prefer to incorporate a daily, more long-term hydration booster into your routine, you can't go past the (also vegan) KOSHO Full Hydration Serum based on FOUR types of hyaluronic acid and the unique matcha extract with antioxidants 100x more potent than vitamin C to protect against ageing and rejuvenate skin. Prickly Pear Extract evens the skin tone and replenishes, while Magnolia Berry Extract reduces redness Remember: serums containing hyaluronic acid generally require a moisturiser over top.
Biotulin faceLIFT 4-Week Ampoule Facial Kit provides 20 ampoules designed to be used over 4 weeks (reserving weekends for masks/exfoliation) to 1. Detox, 2. Hydrate, 3. Plumpen and 4. Smoothen skin. The serum in the ampoules is gently massaged into cleansed, dry skin and before any other skincare.
KOSHO Full Hydration Serum is the hero product of the KOSHO Matcha Effective Cosmetics range. This serum should also be applied to cleansed, dry skin and followed up with a moisturiser and UV-protection. Used twice daily (morning & night) this 30ml bottle of KOSHO Full Hydration Serum lasts approx. 8-10 weeks.
3. Protect
In the Southern Hemisphere we really should be applying UV-protection daily - Summer and Winter, rain or shine. Because there really isn't much point trying to reverse the signs of ageing, if you aren't simultaneously protecting your skin against UV-damage. Unless you spend hours at a time outdoors, you can reserve the SPF30 protection - as in Biotulin UV30 Daily Skin Protection Cream - until summer. Perfect for Spring, KOSHO Smart Protection Cream offers a lighter formulation day cream with natural UV-protection (equivalent to about SPF15) and skin brightening and rejuvenating properties.
The skin-smoothing Biotulin UV30 Daily Skin Protection Cream includes SPF30 UVA and UVB protection, as well as the naturally active, skin-smoothing Biotulin ingredients and plant-derived squalane for a smooth, non-greasy feel and finish.
For a lighter, deeply active day cream, try: KOSHO Smart Protection Cream. Organic matcha extract naturally protects skin from UV- & light-induced skin ageing. Japanese Crocus Extract strengthens the skin, restoring its natural protection barrier. Collagen & elastin production is activated for smoother, plumper, nourished skin.
