Skin Care Guides

Whatever your skin type, exfoliation will give your complexion a boost and allow you to say goodbye to dead skin cells , unclog pores , help fade skin blemishes and scars , and reveal bright, glowing skin.

There are exfoliants with different properties and textures, from the classic physical exfoliant , which has abrasive particles that will polish the most superficial layer of the skin, to chemical exfoliants , which can be in the form of a toner or mask and will break the bond between the living cells of your skin and the dead cells, facilitating their removal.

Exfoliation should be done after cleansing and before applying any other product that you want to be absorbed by your skin. By using an exfoliant, you are increasing your skin's absorption capacity.

The tonic is an extra gesture in your self-care ritual, which enhances your routine and enhances the use of other products.

Wrongly considered as a watery product that only serves to "close pores" and "balance pH", which are both wrong notions, toner has been revolutionized and has been gaining prominence in recent years.

Here at The Green Beauty Concept, we only offer a toner if it has active moisturizing, purifying, soothing or anti-aging qualities.

To ensure maximum benefit, toner should be applied after your morning and night cleansing routine (or just when you feel your skin is acting a little problematic).

Spray toners can also be used whenever you feel like it throughout the day. Some of these work well as makeup setting sprays.

Using a mask is a bonus. It’s the cherry on top of your skincare routine. But it’s an effective way to treat the skin concerns you need to target without wasting too much time .

You don't need to use it every day, once or twice a week is enough. The duration you should leave it on depends on the mask - some take 5 minutes, others take 15, and some don't even need to be removed.

There are masks for virtually every skin concern: dryness and dehydration, shine and enlarged pores, acne and blemishes, signs of premature aging, firmness , and more.

You can choose to have a catalogue of masks at your disposal, and apply them depending on the condition of your skin that week, or just have the most regular options and do a weekly routine of preventative multi-masking.

This is the first area of ​​the face to show signs of fatigue and/or premature skin aging .

The skin around the eyes is fragile and delicate, with a thinner surface layer than the rest of the face, and products penetrate this area more easily. On the other hand, as it is a more sensitive area , and because of its proximity to the eyes themselves, it is advisable to use products suitable for this area to avoid further sensitizing the skin and eyes.

Once again, to choose the right product, you must first think about your main concern. Are dark circles under your eyes bothering you the most? Is it puffiness? Or are you looking for a product with anti-fatigue and brightening effects? Do you feel a lack of hydration or an increase in the appearance of wrinkles?

Depending on your concerns, you will find a cream that is most suitable for you. As with serums, you can use different treatments in the morning and at night: you can use an illuminating, anti-fatigue and anti-dark circles eye cream in the morning and an anti-aging treatment at night.

The serum is a true concentrate of active ingredients , which due to its texture and formula, has the ability to penetrate deeply to provide all its benefits: to remedy dehydration, treat imperfections or skin aging, skin blemishes , among others. It is our secret weapon, to be applied daily morning and night.

How to choose your serum?

1st - Identify exactly what you want to improve in your skin: Is your complexion dull? Do you have small spots? Are you chronically dehydrated? Do you have a lack of firmness or are wrinkles starting to appear?

2nd - Choosing the texture: oily or watery? Mature or dry skin will prefer the first option, while dehydrated, combined with oily skin, will prefer a watery consistency, which is more quickly absorbed.

A face oil makes use of the natural benefits of vegetable oils. Rich in fatty acids, oils can be used as serums or as a barrier for all skin types . They have a superior absorption capacity, due to their ability to enter the intercellular 'space' and help the skin retain water and protect it from external aggressions.

Contrary to what many people think, combination or oily skin can and should use a face oil. Especially if you use a vegetable oil that has the ability to regulate sebum production.

The level of absorption depends on the ingredients, but you can increase absorption by applying the oil immediately after a lotion or toner. A moisturizer can also be used afterward if needed.
