Introduction
DIY Spa Day at Home: How MoonEssence Handcrafted Skin Care Transformed My Routine and Skin into a Radiant Glow where I share how MoonEssence's all-natural handcrafted skin care products helped me achieve that sought-after radiant glow. Join me as I take you through the steps of creating your very own pampering session for glowing skin.
Setting the Scene
Getting all set for my spa day at home, I gathered my MoonEssence stuff and set up a chill vibe. Had some mellow tunes playing in the background, and lit some candles to add to the cozy feel.
Prep
Before you do anything, The first thing to do is Moisten the skin with a warm damp cloth or steam to open the pores and prep the skin.
Exfoliating
Most skin care lines will have you cleanse first, exfoliating second, But celebrity dermatologist Dr. Harold Lancer, says that exfoliating at the beginning might get you better results.
"If you are thinking about the top layer of the skin, with all the pollution and debris, if you just use a cleanser first, the majority of that debris is not removed," he explains. That's why he advises using a polish first to blast the skin's surface. "The polish ingredients are linked directly to prime the skin for the cleansing step. Then there is a epidermis that is ready to soak up the nutrients, antioxidants, and minerals," he adds. And that's when the nourish—aka hydrating—step comes into play. It's a method that goes against the status quo, but next time you're standing over the bathroom sink, give it a try. You might just become a cleansing-second convert. MoonEssence's exfoliating scrub, a heavenly blend of natural ingredients that sloughed away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother complexion underneath. The invigorating citrus (a combination of lemongrass, lemon, and lime) aroma awakened my senses, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Cleanse
Second step: MoonEssence's Gentle Cleansing Milk is designed to cleanse and nourish even the most sensitive skin, this luxurious formula effortlessly removes impurities and makeup that is left from exfoliating, while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance. Infused with soothing botanicals and enriched with nourishing ingredients, our cleansing milk leaves your skin feeling soft, refreshed, and supple. The subtle lavender and rose scent instantly lifted my spirits and calmed my mind for the pampering ahead.
Nourishing Masque
After exfoliation and cleansing, I indulged in a nourishing mask from MoonEssence. Their Dermal Resurfacer & Enzyme Masque is the perfect way to nourish and revive your skin! The masque is made with a blend of pumpkin fruit puree, Pineapple and Papaya enzymes, glycolic acid, vitamin E & C, sunflower & meadowfoam seed oils, and organic bilberry fruit and cranberry fruit extracts. Fruit enzymes work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed from the surface of the skin. This process not only helps to unclog pores but also promotes cell turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. Fruit enzymes are also known for their brightening properties and help to lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation. These enzymes also stimulate collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Toning
Toners have come a long way, and the step is more useful than you might realize. Toner removes any last traces of dirt, grime and impurities stuck in your pores after you wash your face. When added to your daily skincare routine and used regularly, it can have major positive impact on the appearance and tightness of your pores (hello, aging skin). Toner also restores your skin's pH level, smooths skin by refining rough patches and improves skin tone. So many benefits! Using a toner is best after your cleansing and masques and before you infuse any serums or moisture to the skin.
Hydrating and Feeding
A skin serum is a highly concentrated formulation that is designed to sink into the skin quickly, delivering an intensive dose of ingredients that can address common skin complaints. “I definitely recommend serums for anyone who is concerned about aging. It’s a really good way to get extra anti-aging effects, more than your typical moisturizer and sunscreen,” says Dr. Waldman. (instructor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School).
Final Touches - Moisturize and Protect
To seal in all the goodness, I finished off my spa session with MoonEssence's Daily Moisture.. Its rich formula is a luxurious, lightweight cream, crafted with natural, organic ingredients that melted into my skin. It is designed to provide daily hydration and sun protection, while helping to maintain skin's natural balance. Their unique formula is enriched with nourishing carrot seed oil, fennel, rosemary, and lavender essential oils, as well as hyaluronic acid and zinc oxide for SPF 15 sun protection. With regular use, this product will help keep your skin healthy and glowing.
Reflecting on the Experience
As I gazed at my reflection post-spa day, I couldn't help but admire the transformation in my skin. Thanks to MoonEssence's all-natural handcrafted skin care products, my complexion was positively luminous, exuding health and vitality.
