Routine
A skincare routine incorporating Kojic Acid should be simple and consistent. Here's a basic routine to help you get started:
Morning Routine:
-
Cleanser: Start using our cleanser or soap bar morning & night. If you have sensitive skin use it 2-3 times out of the week before you start using it daily.
-
Toner: Apply a soothing and hydrating toner to balance your skin's pH levels. Choose one without alcohol to avoid unnecessary drying.
-
Serum: Apply a small amount evenly to your face, focusing on areas with dark spots. Allow it to absorb before moving to the next step.
-
Moisturizer: Hydrate your skin with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. This helps lock in the moisture and keeps your skin smooth.
-
Sunscreen: Finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Kojic Acid can increase skin sensitivity, and protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial.
Evening Routine:
-
Cleanser: Cleanse your face again to remove makeup, dirt, and pollutants that have accumulated throughout the day.
-
Exfoliation (2-3 times a week): If your skin tolerates it well, consider adding a gentle exfoliator containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). This helps remove dead skin cells and enhances the effectiveness of Kojic Acid.
-
Toner: Follow up with a toner to refresh and prepare your skin for the next steps.
-
Serum: Apply your serum once again, concentrating on areas with dark spots.
-
Moisturizer: Moisturize to keep your skin hydrated overnight.
Additional Tips:
-
Consistency is Key: Youll start seeing results in two weeks. Others may take time, so be patient and consistent with your routine.
-
Patch Test: Before introducing any new product, especially one with active ingredients like Kojic Acid, perform a patch test to ensure your skin reacts well.
-
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
-
Consult a Dermatologist: If you have concerns or specific skin conditions, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
Remember, individual skin types vary, and what works for one person may not work for another. Adjust the routine based on your skin's needs and sensitivities.
