Powdered Skincare is the New ‘Must Have’ for Your Eco-Friendly Skin Care Routine

Innovative skincare is what we do best! In keeping up with the latest skincare trends and discoveries, COSMEDIX is always thrilled to hear when unique formulas we love begin to gain traction across the globe. One of the latest products to take center stage? Powdered skincare.

An eastern beauty trend that has quickly expanded across the sea, powdered products have received rave reviews for their eco-friendly benefits and potent formulations. Lucky for you, you don’t need to wait for these revolutionary skin care products to start popping up on the market, because COSMEDIX is one always step ahead.  Keep on scrolling to learn more about the newest beauty discovery and how to incorporate COSMEDIX powder skincare into your daily skincare routine:

First Things First, What is Powdered Skincare?

“Powder products are exactly what they sound like—dry, waterless versions of your usual beauty go-tos, such as cleansers, shampoos, face masks, and serums.” Coventurer

Simply put, powdered skincare cuts out the filler ingredients (i.e. water, preservatives, fragrance), leaving you with a more concentrated blend of active ingredients. Typically available in fine powder or grainy formulas, powdered skincare can be mixed with an oil, serum or water to stimulate ingredients and provide easy application.

What Are the Benefits?

  • Concentrated: Unlike traditional skincare, powdered formulas are made free of liquids. This means you can indulge in a boosted blend of potent ingredients that address your specific skincare needs.
  • Sustainable: Another great perk of water-free skincare is that it is highly sustainable. Because water has been eliminated, powder skincare products tend to be densely packed in smaller packages. Not to mention, a little goes a long way. This results in both a longer shelf life and less waste, plus fewer trips to the store for a restock!
  • Versatile: Skin is unique, and skincare should be too! Powdered products make it easy to mix up customized skincare cocktails that are tailored to you and your desired skincare results. Easily amp up your routine when you mix powdered skincare with your favorite serum, moisturizer or facial mask.

Turn Your Nighttime Skincare Routine into a Dreamy Escape

In the year of 2020, our nighttime routines are begging for an extra dose of relaxation and pampering. Wrap up the busy day with an indulgent skin care routine that helps ease your mind while giving your complexion some extra attention. Easily set the mood with your favorite tunes, light a fragrant candle and escape to a skincare dreamland with these 5 easy Nighttime Skincare Routinesteps:

Unwind with Botanical Oils

Center your mind and get in the mood for some true R&R with the help of soothing skincare ingredients and nourishing oils. COSMEDIX Serenity Targeted Relief Rollerball is formulated with organic, full spectrum CBD and a blend of botanical oils that help condition dry skin and awaken the senses. Apply to the body hands, neck or feet at the start of your skin care routine for targeted relief that deeply hydrates the skin.

Cleanse with an Oil Cleanser

You’ve heard about the importance of a thorough double cleanse, but did you know that it can provide benefits beyond the skin? Turn an oil cleanse into a luxurious and calming experience with Purity Solution Nourishing Deep Cleansing Oil. With a nutrient-rich combo of Olive Oil, Moringa Oil, Argan Oil and more, this cleanser doubles as a makeup remover to help lift away dirt and impurities while boosting the look of radiance.

Pair Serums with a Face Massage

A facial massage is a simple way to spoil your complexion (and yourself) while helping to encourage lymphatic drainage and help soothe muscle tension. After applying your COSMEDIX serum of choice, follow this step-by-step facial massage guide:

Forehead: Using the index finger and middle finger of both hands, place fingers side-by-side near your temple. Begin moving your fingers up and down in an alternating, zig zag motion as your work your way across your forehead, then in the opposite direction. Repeat 10X.

Eye Area: Place your middle fingers in between your eyebrows on the brow bone. Slowly sweep you fingers across the eyebrows towards the temple, circling around to the under-eye area. Be gentle! The skin around your eye is extremely delicate.

Cheeks: Create a fist and place your knuckles on the inside of your cheek, next to your nose. Massage up and outwards, gliding across the check bone towards your temple. Repeat on other side.

Jaw: Bend your index and middle fingers, then place them around your jawline near your chin. Glide fingers in a lifting motion along the jaw towards the ears.

Neck: Starting at the collarbone, glide hands upwards in a vertical motion towards the jawline. Repeat across the neck.

Or a Facial Roller

Want to give your hands a break? Let COSMEDIX skincare tools do the hard work for you with the Rose Quartz Crystal Facial Roller. This invigorating beauty massage tool rolls away the look of tension while helping to boost product absorption. Help revitalize the look of skin after you apply your serum by rolling in an upwards motion across the complexion with a firm pressure.

Indulge in an Overnight Treatment

Boost moisture and plump the look of skin with an uber-hydrating overnight treatment. Restore Moisture-Rich Mask can be used while you sleep to help quench thirsty skin and smooth the look of fine lines. Wake up to an energized-looking complexion as Papaya Extract and Mango Shea Butter work overtime to exfoliate the skin and increase the look of suppleness.
