Skincare Swatches For Morning Skincare Routine

 

A nighttime skincare routine might get all the attention, but we are here to put the spotlight back on morning skin. While PM skincare is made for prevention, AM skincare is made for protection—meaning both are equally important when it comes to the overall health of your skin.

Help armor up your complexion for the day ahead with hydrating, revitalizing and protective ingredients using these 4-morning must-haves for your skincare morning routine:

Revitalizing Cleanser

Yes, your face cleanser washes your face, but did you know that its key ingredients can change your skincare game? Using a cleanser with peptides and antioxidants in the morning can help restore the look of the complexion while adding a skincare “pick-me-up” to your day. Both of these ingredients are a great way to revitalize the look of skin in the morning, plus they help protect the skin from environmental stressors and promote a firmer-looking complexion.

Try: Pure Radiance Revitalizing Cleanser | An age-defying cleanser that is formulated with peptides and skin-brightening ingredients to help promote healthy skin renewal and a refreshed appearance.

Antioxidant Serum

Serums receive a lot of praise for their concentrated formulas. No matter which ingredients you’re after (Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, etc.), these multi-tasking wonders definitely pack a punch into any skincare routine. But if you are looking for a serum to amp up your mornings, try reaching for a lightweight serum that features antioxidant-rich ingredients. Incorporating antioxidants is an easy way to help protect the skin from environmental stressors throughout the day while also encouraging healthy skin renewal down the road.

Try: C The Light Vitamin C Serum | Infused with five forms of Vitamin C – orange peel, lemon peel, citrus essential oils, mandarin orange and citric acid –  this unique serum helps encourage a brighter, smoother and more even-looking complexion in as little as four weeks.

SPF

Yep, you know the drill. While we might sound like a broken record, there is truly nothing more important to your skin than a good SPF. Applying a lightweight sunscreen in your AM skincare routine will help defend the complexion from the UVA and UVB rays you’re sure to encounter throughout the day. Even if you tend to spend the day indoors or live in a state prone to cloudy weather, arming your complexion is SPF protection is a skincare must!

Hydrating Lip Treatment

Don’t forget the lips. Just like your under-eye area, the skin on the lips tends to be more delicate than the skin on your face. For this reason, they crave an extra dose of love and care. Give your lips the attention they deserve by applying a hydrating lip treatment in your morning skincare routine. Ingredients that help lock in moisture and soothe dry skin are the perfect way to keep dry lips at bay while also helping to lay the perfect base for a smooth lipstick application.

Try: Complete Contour Hydrating Lip Volumizer | Formulated  with Cocoa Butter, Raspberry and Acai, this soothing lip treatment helps soften, plump and smooth the look of lips by coating them in a layer of hydration

What Exactly is Your Skin’s Microbiome and Why Is It So Important?

Share this:

Talking about your skin’s equilibrium and natural flora might not sound like the most indulgent topic, but it is vital to understanding the health of your complexion. Microbiome is a word we’ve started to hear floating around a lot lately, especially in the skincare community. And while peaked interest in our skin’s natural balance is always a good thing, it can leave some people scratching their head.

If you’re one of those people, Aloette is here to help! So, let’s dive deep into the science of your skin and why is so important to help keep your complexion balanced with these quick facts about your skin and it’s microbiome:

What Is Your Microbiome?

Even though you can’t see them, there are billions of microorganisms living on your complexion. Sure, it’s not the most luxurious image, but this natural flora is what makes up your skin’s microbiome. Why the biology lesson, you ask? Because the skin’s defense lies in the hands of these lively little micros. Think of your microbiome as a microscopic eco-system—in order to keep the complexion looking happy, you need to care of the little guys on the surface.

Why Is It Important to Keep the Microbiome Balanced?

Like we said, the beneficial flora on your skin does a lot. From locking in moisture to helping defend the skin from age-accelerating environmental stressors, these micros work overtime to keep your complexion looking healthy and clear. And in order to keep your skin looking its best, you also need to put in the work. Just like any other living creature, the natural floras on your skin need fuel to do their job. Applying ingredients like prebiotics and probiotics to the complexion can help restore these beneficial micros and encourage a more balanced complexion. Without this, skin can go rouge and experience issues with blemishes and uneven texture.

What Skincare Products Can I Use to Help Promote a Healthy Microbiome?

Again, skincare products that contain pre and probiotics is the perfect place to start! These ingredients help restore the beneficial flora to the skin, ultimately helping to amp up the glow and overall appearance of the complexion. Thanks to the recent surge of interest in your microbiome, there is plenty of skincare to choose from, including cleanser, serum and moisturizer products. Here at Aloette, we personally love to replenish with a daily serum. The concentrated ingredients and lightweight formula are perfect for a quick pick-me-up that absorbs into skin and works at the surface during a busy day or while you sleep!

Try: Beauty Biome Microbiome Complex Serum | The latest addition to Aloette Farm to Jar Collection, Beauty Biome is infused with prebiotic and probiotic ingredients to help balance the look of your complexion. Perfect for both a morning and evening skincare routine, this multi-tasking serum helps hydrate the skin, reduce the look of uneven texture and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

How to Achieve the Ultimate Lash Look (No Falsies Here!)

Share this:

If the mask madness of the year past has brought us anything, it is a newfound appreciation for eye makeup. Back in the day, my beauty bag staple was a glossy lip or bright red pout, but nowadays, I tend to opt for a fresh face and lengthy lashes (for obvious reasons).

It is no wonder lash lifts and eyebrow tints have quickly gained traction in the beauty world, with influencers and consumers alike doing anything they can to lengthen, strengthen and volumize their appearance. But, if you want to achieve the ultimate lash look without the help of falsies or extensions, Aloette is here to help!

Keep on reading to discover must-have products, plus application tips, to help you define those lashes and make eyes pop—even with a face mask:

Apply a Hydrating Lash Serum

It’s easy to see why lash enhancements and falsies are on the rage, but if you truly want lashes that flutter, you need to start at the root. Using a lash serum to coat the eyelashes in hydrating and conditioning ingredients—like peptides and plant extracts—is an easy way to help boost both strength and length. Just like a face serum works below the skin, lash serums work to help enhance the look of eyelashes over time while preventing fallout. Just remember, consistency is a must!

Try: Luscious + Luxe Lash Enhancing Serum | Formulated with an innovative peptide complex, this oil-free lash serum is clinically proven to help lashes appear thicker, longer and stronger in as little as 4 weeks.

Multi-Task with Your Mascara

Get the best of both worlds with a jet-black mascara that doubles as “lashcare”. We all know mascara is one of the quickest methods to up your lash game in a hurry, so why not add a stroke of color and conditioning ingredients in the same swipe? Multi-tasking mascaras come in many forms, but they typically include a 2-in-1 formula that is infused with nourishing minerals and oils to help hydrate the lashes and prevent breakage. This also makes an infused mascara a must-have for any girl on-the-go, as it helps color and condition the eyelashes for extra length and curl.

Try: A-List Lash Curling Mascara with Argan Oil | Infused with Argan Oil, this A-List Lash Curling Mascara helps condition lashes while coating them in a clump-free formula that curls and defines.

Mind Your Makeup Application

The truth is you can stock up on all the makeup products your wallet can afford, but if you aren’t using them properly, you probably won’t see results. If fuller-looking lashes is what your eyes desire, then you might need to double check your makeup application. While it can be tempting to add a single swipe of mascara (especially on the days the snooze button calls your name), applying multiple coats in multiple directions is the key. Always remember to swipe the top of your lashes, then use the brush to stroke the lashes in towards the nose, out towards the hairline and then straight up! This ensure the lashes are completely coated. You can also use a liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner to tight-line your water line for a fuller-looking lash effect.

Got Protection? 4 Ways Your Morning Skincare Routine Can Help Protect Your Complexion

Share this:

Let’s be honest…sometimes we can take our skin for granted. As the body’s largest organ, our skin works overtime to help protect us from the dirt, oil and grime that our body is exposed to both morning and night. And as our first layer of defense against the outside world, it is important that we prep our complexion the way you prep an army going into battle (seriously)—starting with our morning skincare routine!

If you want to protect your skin from environmental stressors while helping to prevent the look of fine lines and dark spots, then listen up. Aloette is here to share 4 steps you need to add to your morning “defense” skincare routine:

  1. Use a Cleanser to Help “Detox”

Start your morning off right with a quick “reset” of the complexion. We all (hopefully) know why cleansers are a MUST in any skincare routine, but did you know that the type of cleanser you use is what truly changes the game?

If you are looking to amp up your skin defense during the day, try to incorporate a morning cleanser that helps “detox” the complexion. Washing your face in the AM with ingredients like charcoal or fruit enzymes will help draw out pore-clogging impurities while polishing away dry skin. Not only does this help prep your complexion for the rest of your routine, but it also helps cleanse away any dirt or oil that developed during your beauty sleep.

Our Pick: City Detox Environmental Defense Powder Cleanser| Just add water! City Detox is a fine-grained powder that transforms into a rich cleanser to help exfoliate the skin and wash away dirt, oil and makeup.

  1. Apply a Vitamin C Serum

There is good reason Vitamin C receives so much hype in the skincare industry. Vitamin C equals skin defense. It’s that simple! This antioxidant-rich vitamin is known to help improve the look of dark spots, uneven skin tone and texture—all while helping to brighten the look of skin and protect the complexion for the day ahead. The best part is that there are so many easy ways to add this ingredient into your skincare routine. If you want to help protect your skin from environmental stressors throughout the day, just add a Vitamin C serum or Vitamin C moisturizer into your morning skincare routine.

  1. Don’t Skip SPF

Sure, we might sound like a broken record, but there is a reason why EVERYONE in the skincare world preaches the importance of SPF. A good sunscreen helps shield your complexion from the UVA and UVB that can damage the skin and lead to early signs of aging. In fact, SPF is one of the simplest ways to help prevent fine lines and dark spots thanks to its ability to protect the skin from sun burn and future sun damage. So whether you are spending the day outside or indoors, make sure to apply a quality broad spectrum sunscreen to your face, body and hands.

  1. Set Your Makeup with a “Defense” Mist

Many of us like to lock our makeup in place with a hydrating setting mist, but why not lock your makeup in place AND help protect your skin? Ever since hitting the market a few years ago, setting sprays have quickly become popular for their long-lasting and multi-tasking abilities. If you want to add an extra layer of defense to your morning routine, try completing your makeup look with a lightweight mist that helps protect the skin from environmental stressors. How do you find such a mist? Simply look for a setting spray that contains ingredients high in Vitamin C and antioxidants–like Green Tea and Grapefruit Extract—to help protect the skin throughout your busy day.

Our Pick: Set + Shield Environmental Defense Makeup Setting Mist | The multipurpose formula covers skin in a lightweight veil of vitamin-rich ingredients that helps protect skin from environmental stressors, like pollution and daily grime.

Layer Up: Why You Need to Start Using Serums to Target Your Skin Concerns

Share this:

If you haven’t caught on to the current obsession with serums then it’s time to catch up. Serums are perfect for targeting specific skin concerns to kick your routine up a notch. Their lightweight texture allows them to seamlessly layer into your existing skincare routine. Looking for your first serum? We’re here to give you the rundown on the skincare step that everyone is raving about. 

How do I use a serum? 

Once you’ve picked the right serum, or serums, it’s time to figure out where they fit into your existing routine. This is actually much easier than you might think!  The standard is to apply your serums after you have cleansed and toned. An easy way to remember how to layer your skincare is to apply it from thinnest product to thickest. After you’ve applied your serums, you can finish off your routine with your favorite moisturizer.

What Serum Should I Use?

Brightening 

Has your skin been looking a little bit dull and tired lately? We suggest adding in a brightening serum to your routine to revive your glow. Vitamin C is an ingredient that you can count on for this problem. Our C-The-Light Vitamin C Serum is infused with five forms of Vitamin C – orange peel, lemon peel, citrus essential oils, mandarin orange and citric acid –  that will have skin appearing brighter, smoother and more even-toned. Need a little more oomph from your serum? Try Florabright if you’re also struggling with dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Anti- Aging 

Aging- it happens to everyone. There’s never a bad time to start adding anti-aging skincare into your routine, in fact some say the sooner the better. A serum is a great way to combat aging whether you’re getting an early start or you’re late to the game. Try our Face It Anti-Wrinkle Serum that is formulated with a sugar derived ingredient – Steviocide – to help relax the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for long term results as well as red algae extract and aloe vera to immediately lift sagging skin while soothing and conditioning the skin.

Skin Firming 

As your skin starts to age it starts to lose its firmness and you might start to notice less definition in areas like your neck and face. This is largely because as you get older you start producing less collagen- which is responsible for keeping the skin firm and tight. If this is something you find yourself struggling with this you might benefit from our Age Defiance Pro Serum. This innovative firming serum works to stimulate collagen and rejuvenate aging skin for improved overall radiance.

Once you go serum, you’ll never go back.

Got Wrinkles? These Are the 4 Age-Defying Skincare Habits You Need to Make, Now!

Wrinkles. Can’t live with them, would love to live without them.

It’s true that aging is a part of life’s beautiful process, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we necessarily jump for joy every time a new dark spot or wrinkle pops up across our forehead. In fact, we’re far more likely to begrudgingly scour the internet for latest tips and tricks on how to help turn back the hands (unfortunately, that discovery hasn’t been made yet).

The good news is that prevention and science are on your side…and so are we! Over the years, people have stepped up their lifestyle and skincare game when comes to caring for and investing in their skin. So, if you are indeed that person currently searching for the latest tips and tricks for better-looking skin, keep on reading for Aloette’s 4 Ways to Create an Age-Defying Skincare Routine:

Drink Up!

Water. Aqua. H2O. No matter how you say it, adequate water consumption is one of the most important ways to support your complexion from the inside out. Basic biology (and our mothers) tell us that water makes up a HUGE percentage of our body—so it only makes sense that it’s largest organ requires a tall glass of hydration to keep it looking it’s best. Not to mention, the older you get the harder it can be for your skin to retain moisture. So, fill up your cup and help drink your way to a total body refresh with nature’s simplest “ingredient”.

Apply Sunscreen

We get it—its winter, its cold, and our skin is practically begging to soak up any ounce of colour it can get. But, on your quest for sun-kissed skin, don’t forget that sunscreen plays a vital role in both the long term and short-term appearance of your complexion. While a stroll in the sunshine—especially in the cooler months—may seem harmless enough, it is important to take care and arm your skin with broad spectrum protection to help prevent dark spots, fine lines and future sun damage. Prevention is truly the key to age-defying skincare and slathering on sunscreen daily is a helpful way to help protect your skin (yes, even indoors).

Invest in Anti-Aging Skincare

This is our Aloette specialty. One of the many beauties of skincare is that it completely customizable to your wants and needs. If you’re looking for a skincare routine that can help prevent or improve the look of an aging complexion (hence, why you probably clicked on this article), keep an eye out for skincare products that include peptides and hydrating key ingredients—like Hyaluronic Acid. Why the focus on these skincare ingredients? Because both of these ingredients work below the surface to help improve the skin’s moisture barrier and promote a firmer-looking complexion—making them a must-have in an age-defying skincare routine!

Try: The Aloette Ageless Science System. Made with a rejuvenating peptide, this two-step skincare system features an Ionic Energy Balance Mist and Active Energy Serum to help boost absorption, quench skin with hydration and help reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles.

Moisturize

Are you starting to notice a trend here? Like we said, hydration is non-negotiable for anyone after a soft and smoother-looking complexion (I’m looking at you oily skin types). So, while you hydrate from the inside, make sure to also hydrate on the outside using a nourishing moisturizer. Start by applying a lightweight moisturizer during the day, then switch to a rich, preventative face cream at night. This will help ensure that your skin stays quenched underneath your makeup and nourished as you sleep.

Why You Need Vitamin C Serum in Your Daily Skincare Routine

Share this:

Skincare trends may come and go, but Vitamin C is forever! Get to know the vitamin that everyone is talking about and discover Aloette’s skincare secret to more even, brighter and radiant-looking skin. You’re sure to C the Light!

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C is a skincare powerhouse, and there is a good reason this ingredient has taken the skincare world by storm. Think of it like a daily dose of OJ for your complexion. When feeling under the weather or flu season is looming around the corner, people tend to up their daily intake of Vitamin C to help keep health intact. Topically, Vitamin C works in a similar fashion for the skin. This ingredient is perfect for a year-round skincare routine—helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors in the summer and helping restore brightness to the skin in the winter. Vitamin C is available in many forms, including many serum, moisturizer, skincare booster and more.

What Are the Benefits?

Brightens the look of the Complexion | Featuring powerful antioxidant properties, Vitamin C can help brighten the look of skin over time. By helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines and uneven texture, this must-have ingredient works to help restore a radiant-looking complexion with each use.

Helps Protect the Skin from Environmental Stressors | The antioxidants in Vitamin C also help protect the skin from environmental stressors. Why is that important you ask? Well, environmental stressors can include anything from UV rays to pollution in the air. Vitamin C is a great preventative ingredient that has the potential to help protect against age-accelerating environmental stressors.

Helps Improve the Signs of Aging | Last but not least, Vitamin C contains age-defying properties. It helps improve the look of fine lines and hyperpigmentation, while helping to boost the skin’s natural barrier function. Overall, this helps promote the appearance of a more even skin tone and a softer, smoother-looking complexion.

So, What’s the Deal with C the Light?

Aloette’s C The Light is a unique Vitamin C Serum that is formulated with a special delivery system that helps boost your skincare routine. Infused with 5 different derivatives of Vitamin C—including orange peel, lemon peel, mandarin orange, citric acid and essential oils—this everyday serum help improve the look of skin tone while helping to brighten and smooth the look of skin. To work C the Light Vitamin C Serum into your daily skincare routine, dispense a pea-sized amount into your hands after your face has been cleansed and toned. Glide the serum across the face and neck. Allow product to dry, then apply your favorite serum and moisturizer to lock in ingredients and boost hydration.

Stay Pure Acne Treatment Lotion

Zits disappear overnight without any flaking or redness. I keep one in my makeup bag at all times!”

Stick Shift

“This is my go-to facial exfoliator that I use several times a week. I love how the formula lathers on wet skin. There are small physical exfoliators (diatomaceous earth) that polish effectively and never feel abrasive or irritating. My skin texture is noticeably smoother after every use. It’s also great for travel or for the gym!”

Ageless Science System

“My current favorite is the Ageless Science System. I keep both pieces in my skincare fridge and they are so cooling and soothing plus super hydrating without feeling heavy. I’ve really noticed a difference in the skin around my eyes and on my cheekbones. It appears a lot firmer and smoother after just a few weeks.

I love that it doesn’t go on clumpy or stick together on my lashes. I also notice that my eyelashes look healthier when I am regularly using A-List as opposed to other mascaras that I own. It’s quickly become one of my favorite mascaras that I’ve ever tried. It is a must have!”
