Ever feel like your skin is looking a little dull? Give it a serious glow-up with this routine which delivers Insta-ready results that will have people wondering what you’ve been doing.
What are anti-ageing facial benefits?
The active ingredients in this DIY facial work to brighten and exfoliate, all the while boosting collagen and elastin production.
By incorporating this facial into your weekly routine you can expect skin that is clearer and renewed, as your skin’s moisture levels are boosted and skin cell turnover is encouraged.
Step 1: Double cleanse with a pH balanced cleanser
Massage the Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser 185ml all over your face to remove excess oil, dirt and debris. If you're wearing makeup, make sure your first cleanse is on dry skin to more effectively shift long-wearing products. This lightweight, creamy cleanser is rich in Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, and formulated at pH 5.5 to respect the skin's natural balance, preparing it to readily accept the next step - Accelerating Acids.
Step 2: Say goodbye to those dead skin cells
Gently massage the Alpha-H Micro Cleanse Super Scrub 100ml over the face for 1-2 minutes. With results that rival professional microdermabrasion, this hardworking exfoliant is your two minute exfoliation skin saviour. Blended with 12% Glycolic Acid, eco-friendly Jojoba Beads and Caffeine this dual action formula activates skin cell turnover for smooth skin that radiates clarity.
Step 3: Now it’s time for the main-event mask
The Alpha-H Liquid Gold Ultimate Perfecting Mask 50ml works hard to hyper-stimulate and renew the skin while also hydrating and repairing its barrier function. Strictly a once a week mask, leave it on for a maximum 10 minutes! With a blend of 15% Glycolic Acid and 5% Lactic Acid, we suggest taking it off after 3-5 minutes if it’s your first time. This one is SUPER active.
Step 4: Get that goodness back into your skin
Hydrate, protect and revive your skin with this genius blend of B vitamins. Press 3-4 drops of the Alpha-H Vitamin B Serum with 5% Niacinamide 25ml Serum into your face, neck, and decolletage to hydrate and shield the skin from damaging environmental aggressors, thereby reducing the appearance of premature ageing.
Step 5: Lock in the moisture
A soothing skin staple, the Alpha-H Essential Hydration Cream 50ml is designed to counter the appearance of redness and irritation. Massage all over in upward circular motions, to nourish and replenish skin. Bio-active sea minerals and essential fatty acids help to revitalise, hydrate parched skin, and promote skin renewal and micro-circulation.
