Exclusive Tips and Tricks from Pixi Beauty Founder and Makeup Artist, Petra
Welcome to the world of Pixi Beauty, where our mission is to help you achieve a naturally radiant and flawless complexion. As the founder and makeup artist behind Pixi, I am thrilled to share my personal insights on how to maximise the benefits of two powerhouse skincare ingredients, Glycolic and Retinol, by rotating them in your routine. In this blog post, I will unveil my secret Skin-Cycling Methods that will transform your skin while keeping it balanced and nourished. Let's dive into the magic of Skin-Cycling!
Understanding Glycolic and Retinol:
Before we delve into the Skin-Cycling Methods, it's essential to understand how these powerful ingredients work.
Glycolic Acid: This alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) is derived from sugar cane and gently exfoliates the skin, improving its surface texture and promoting a brighter complexion.
Retinol: Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, works on a deeper level to refine the skin's texture and smooth out fine lines and uneven skintexture.
Skin-Cycling Method 1: Day and Night Rotation
The first Skin-Cycling Method involves using Glycolic and Retinol at different times of the day. This approach ensures that your skin benefits from both ingredients as fast as possible, and you will see rapid results from this transforming routine.
AM Routine:
Begin your day with our Glow Mud Cleanser or Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel. These products gently exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin, leaving it fresh and revitalised.
PM Routine:
In the evening, switch to the Retinol CapsuleCare. This potent treatment penetrates deeper into the skin to improve its texture and minimise the appearance of fine lines and pores.
Skin-Cycling Method 2: Alternate Nights
The second Skin-Cycling Method involves alternating between Glycolic and Retinol treatments on different nights of the week.
For revitalised and smooth skin, try using Glow Tonic on one night and Retinol Tonic on the next. This rotation allows your skin to enjoy the benefits of both ingredients without overdoing it.
Recovery and Maintenance:
To ensure that your skin stays nourished and hydrated throughout the Skin-Cycling process, weave these Pixi favourites into your routine:
Rose Ceramide Cream: This rich, nourishing cream delivers deep hydration and helps strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Hydrating Milky Mist: Our weightless mist provides a burst of hydration, leaving the skin refreshed and dewy.
Milky Remedy Mask: This luxurious mask soothes and revitalises the skin, ensuring that it remains soft, supple, and well-maintained.
By incorporating these Skin-Cycling Methods and recovery products into your skincare routine, you'll achieve remarkable results from both Glycolic and Retinol while keeping your skin perfectly balanced and nourished. Give it a try and unveil your most radiant complexion yet!
Remember, the key to healthy, glowing skin lies in understanding how to use these potent ingredients effectively. With the right approach, you can unlock the full potential of Glycolic and Retinol in your skincare routine. Happy Skin-Cycling!
