Think of our skin serums as REALLY hard workers who go above and beyond to deliver the best outcome, without which your skin simply can’t function at its best. Because of this it’s essential that your face serums, which are multi-functional and perfect for layering, are prescribed by an O Skin Expert to ensure maximum results and a tailored approach to your individual concerns.

Targeted Treatment – Skin correcting serums are formulated to address specific skincare concerns, such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, acne, or uneven skin tone. This targeted approach allows you to focus on particular issues you want to improve.

Highly Concentrated Ingredients – Most serums for face often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients compared to other skincare products. This can lead to more potent and effective results when used consistently.

Customisable Skincare Routine – Face serums can be easily incorporated into your existing skincare routine. You can tailor your regimen by choosing skin serums that address your specific concerns without overloading your skin with unnecessary products.

Enhanced Absorption of Other Products – Most skin serums are often lightweight and easily absorbed, making them ideal for layering under other skincare products. Using face serums before moisturiser or sunscreen can enhance the absorption of subsequent products.

• Dryness – Rough, tight or flaky skin is a clear sign that it lacks hydration. Dry skin often appears dull and may even become irritated or itchy.

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles – Dehydrated skin tends to show more fine lines and wrinkles, especially when the skin is stretched or pulled. This is because well-hydrated skin appears plump and smooth, while dehydrated skin lacks elasticity.

• Dullness – When the skin lacks hydration, it may appear dull or lackluster. Hydrated skin reflects light better, giving it a healthy glow. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, may look flat or tired.

• Increased Sensitivity – Dehydrated skin is often more sensitive to external factors such as weather changes, harsh skincare products, or environmental pollutants. You may notice increased redness, irritation, or stinging sensations.

• Excessive Oiliness – Dehydrated skin can sometimes overproduce oil in an attempt to compensate for the lack of moisture. This can lead to oily or combination skin, with an oily T-zone and dry patches in other areas.

• Skin Texture – Dehydrated skin may feel rough or uneven to the touch, with areas of flakiness or rough patches. Properly hydrated skin tends to have a smoother texture.

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it’s a good idea to incorporate hydrating skin care products in your skin care routine. Using the best hydrating cream for your skin along with other hydrating skin care products such as serums or masks and drinking plenty of water can help improve your skin’s hydration levels and restore its health.

• Daily Use – Everyone should be using hydrating skin care products such as a hydrating cream, balm or gel daily. Incorporating hydrators into both your morning and evening skincare routines can help maintain optimal hydration levels and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.

• Morning Routine – In the morning, you can use hydrating skin care products such as serums or moisturisers to prep your skin for the day ahead. Using hydrating creams in the morning helps to create a smooth base for makeup application and provides protection against environmental stressors throughout the day whilst locking in the serums used underneath.

• Evening Routine – Using a moisturiser before bed is essential for replenishing moisture lost during the day and supporting the skin’s natural repair processes while you sleep. You can use hydrating creams, corrector serums, or overnight masks to deeply nourish and hydrate your skin overnight.

• As Needed – In addition to daily use, you can also incorporate hydrating skin care products into your skincare routine as needed, depending on factors such as changes in weather, travel, or skin sensitivity.

Ultimately, it’s essential to tailor your skincare routine to meet the specific needs of your skin and adjust as necessary based on changes in your skin’s condition or environment.

They can provide personalised advice on finding the best hydrating cream for your skin to introduce into your skincare routine.

Once you’ve applied your choice of eye care product, use a gentle tapping motion to pat the product into the skin. Avoid pulling or stretching the delicate skin around the eyes. You can also lightly massage the eye area using circular motions to help improve circulation and promote absorption of the eye cream or eye serum.

• Hydration – Many face masks are designed to boost moisture levels, leaving skin more hydrated, plump, and radiant.

• Exfoliation – Some facial masks contain exfoliating ingredients, which help to remove dead skin cells and promote a brighter, smoother complexion.

• Targeted Treatments – Face Masks can be formulated to address specific skin concerns such as acne, dryness, or hyperpigmentation. For instance, face masks with ingredients like peptides, antioxidants and hyaluronic acid can help to improve the appearance lines and wrinkles and to increase skin volume. Other ingredients in face masks such as Vitamin C and Niacinamide can help to even out skin tone and improve discolouration whilst anti-inflammatory ingredients can reduce inflammation and help to calm and soothe a sensitive or irritated skin. By focusing on a particular skin issue, facial masks can deliver concentrated care for more noticeable improvements.

• Relaxation and Self-Care – Beyond the skincare benefits, using face masks can also be a relaxing ritual that promotes mindfulness and self-care. Taking time to apply a facial mask allows you to unwind and de-stress, while the soothing scents and textures contribute to an overall calming experience.

You should cleanse your skin before applying a face mask. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup, ensuring your skin is clean and prepped to fully absorb the active ingredients in the mask. If you don’t cleanse beforehand, the impurities on your skin could block the face mask from penetrating effectively, reducing its overall benefits.

After the facial mask, you typically don’t need to cleanse again unless the mask specifically calls for it. However, if you’re using a clay or an exfoliating face mask such as 3-In-1 Fruit Peel Mask that leaves residue, a gentle rinse with water can help remove any remaining product. Follow up with your O Correctors and Hydrators after using your facial mask to seal in the benefits!

Due to the added Zinc Oxide’s anti-inflammatory properties, the facial sunscreen can also be used as overnight spot treatment to heal and reduce redness.

Hot Tip: Mineral Pro SPF Tinted Sunscreen makes for an awesome at-home or exercise light coverage foundation or the perfect glowy, bronzing primer!

Mineral sunscreens are better suited as chemical sunscreens contain certain chemical absorbers known to irritate skin and cause flare-ups. Our Mineral Pro SPF range contains Kakadu Plum extract to reduce skin inflammatory response and Tocopherol Complex (variations of Vitamin E) to support skin barrier repair while adding moisture and conditioning the skin.

If you need help determining whether Mineral Pro SPF is suitable for your skin type, please visit your nearest O skin clinic or start a live chat on our website with an O Skin Expert for more information.

• Customisable Shade – Tanning products come in various formulations and shades, allowing you to customise your tan according to your preference. You can also gradually build up the colour to achieve the desired look.
• Immediate Results – Many tan products provide instant colour or develop quickly, giving you a tan without waiting for the skin to tan naturally over several days of sun exposure.
• Convenience – Self tanning can be done at home, saving time and the hassle of finding a sunny spot or scheduling time for tanning, and let’s be honest- it’s far better for you!
• Avoiding Premature Aging – Regular sun exposure accelerates skin aging, leading to wrinkles and fine lines as well as increases your risk of developing skin cancer. Self tanning helps you avoid this while still achieving a bronzed look.
• Avoiding Sun Spots and Discolouration – Sun exposure can lead to dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Tanning products help you maintain a consistent skin tone without these issues.

Overall, self tanning offers a safer, more controlled, and convenient way to achieve a sun-kissed glow.

• Prepare Your Skin – Exfoliate using our Exfoliating Glove and for most even application, ensure you have shaved any selected areas of the body a few hours before applying tanning products. Moisturise dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles to prevent uneven application. It is best to avoid waxing on the day of doing a self tan.
• Choose the Right Product – Select tanning products that suit your skin tone and desired shade as well as preferred consistency.
• Apply with the Right Tools – Use our Velvet Tanning Mitt and Tanning Brush to apply the tan products. This helps achieve an even application and prevents staining your hands. For hard-to-reach areas like your back, try our Back Tan Applicator.
• Apply Evenly – Start from your feet and work your way up. Use long, even strokes and blend the self tan thoroughly to avoid streaks. Pay extra attention to areas like elbows, knees, and ankles, blending carefully.
• Be careful of Certain Areas – Be cautious around the elbows, knees, and wrists as these areas can absorb more product and may appear darker. Use less product on these areas and blend well. Our Tanning Brush can be used to blend self tan flawlessly on difficult areas.
• Wash Hands – If using your hands to apply tanning products, wash them thoroughly immediately after application to avoid staining.
• Allow to Dry – Let the self tan dry completely before getting dressed or touching anything.
• Avoid Water and Sweat – For the best results, avoid water, sweating, or any activities that may cause the self tan to come off for at least 6-8 hours, or as recommended by the product.
• Maintain the Tan – Moisturise daily to keep your skin hydrated and your tan looking even. Try our Gradual Tanning Body Butter to prolong and top up the tan. Exfoliate gently as the self tan begins to fade to ensure an even fade.

By following these steps, you can achieve a natural-looking, even tan. For guidance on how to achieve a perfect self tan, visit your nearest O skin clinic or start a live chat on our website with an O Skin Expert.
