Step 1: Cleanse Away the Festive Residue

The first step in your post-carnival skincare recovery is to cleanse away the layers of festive makeup, sweat, and impurities that may have built up on your skin. Opt for a gentle cleanser that effectively removes makeup without stripping your skin of its natural oils. This will leave you with a clean canvas to start the recovery process. Try or Chlorophyll Cleanser or for more trounled skin our Seamoss Charcoal and Kojic Acid Cleanser.

Step 2: Hydration Station

After the thorough cleanse, it's time to replenish and hydrate your skin. Carnival festivities often lead to dehydration, so reach for a hydrating serum or a sheet mask packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. These will help restore moisture, reduce inflammation, and give your skin the hydration it craves. Our Moisture Boost Vitamin C Serum is your go to here.

Step 3: Treat Yourself to a Soothing Mask

Treat your skin to a pampering session with a soothing mask. Opt for a mask that addresses specific concerns like redness, sensitivity, or fatigue. Ingredients such as aloe vera, chamomile, and cucumber can work wonders in calming irritated skin and promoting a healthy complexion. Apply the mask, kick back, and let the healing begin.

Step 4: Exfoliate the Night Away

Carnival makeup can be intense, and the constant application and removal may leave your skin looking dull. Time to unveil that radiant glow by exfoliating away dead skin cells. Choose a gentle exfoliator with ingredients like glycolic acid or enzymes that will slough off dead skin cells, leaving your complexion revitalized and ready to shine.

Step 5: Repair and Nourish

Opt for a rich, hydrating moisturizer infused with ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, or ceramides. These will help repair the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and leave your skin feeling soft and supple. Reach for our Summer Daze Moisturizer
