What is the ideal daily skincare routine?
Your daily skincare routine forms the foundation for healthy and happy skin. When choosing your daily skincare routine, always remember to choose products that target your individual skin concerns.
During the day time, the focus of your routine should be on protecting your skin, using an antioxidant, SPF and hydration. In the morning, we recommend to start by using a gentle cleanser such as the Rest Day Cleansing Milk. Follow with your treatment product whether that be focusing on hydration, creating a glow or targeting fine lines or pigmentation. Complete your daytime routine with a light moisturiser like Nutri-Active Day Cream and SPF.
Night time is when your body’s regeneration processes kick in, therefore your routine should include ingredients and actives which will work at a cellular level to rebuild and regenerate your skin. At night, always double cleanse especially when you have been using SPF and make up during the day. The first cleanse will remove the make up and the second cleanse will clean the skin itself. We recommend the Renaissance Cleansing Gel which is brightening and nourishing, and suitable for all skin types. Follow this with your serum of choice, again targeting your skin’s concerns. Add a couple of drops of facial oil to lock in hydration and follow with a richer night cream like Bedtime Beauty Boost for more dehydrated skin.
Do you have any top tips to achieve glowing skin?
Here at OSKIA, we love glowing, healthy skin. One of Georgie’s personal top tips for this is to use an oil during the daytime to make your skin glow and protect the skin barrier. Super C Capsules contain a stable form of vitamin C which Georgie applies as the last step in her daytime routine to ensure a glowing and healthy complexion.
What can I use for pigmentation?
The OSKIA Renaissance range was created to enhance the brightness of the skin. The cleanser and mask both work to target pigmentation by gently exfoliating with fermented pumpkin enzymes. The Renaissance Bright Light Serum was created specifically to target pigmentation and melasma. This multifunctional serum contains ingredients such as nanobright (OSKIA’s own encapsulated liposome) which reduce melanin production. The serum increases radiance, firms, brightens and illuminates.
Are there any OSKIA products especially recommended for men?
All of our products are suitable for both men and women, however we recommend the City Life Cleanser as the cleanser of choice for men. Men produce more sebum than women do, and the ingredients in the cleanser work by detoxifying, clearing pores and gently exfoliating. The eucalyptus contained in the City Life range also promotes healing, is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
The Micro Exfoliating Balm is also a great option for men as a good post shave exfoliation product.
Do I need to use retinol, what are the benefits?
Retinol works by speeding up cell turnover which in turn helps plump and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it also supports collagen production for firmer skin. Using a retinol can also help regular excess sebum production for a clearer complexion. When using a retinol, it is important to apply it only at night, slowly build up the usage gradually, and be sure to use an SPF during the day.
Retinol is not suitable for those who are pregnant, an alternative option in the OSKIA range is the Super 16 Serum, which contains 16 super nutrients and bio actives including bakuchiol which leaves skin firmer, lines appear reduced and improves elasticity in the skin.
From what age would you recommend starting a skincare routine?
We recommend for young people to start using skincare when hormonal changes occur and skin changes start to appear. This is different for each individual, however a simple and effective skincare routine will help target concerns and enhance the appearance of skin at any stage in life.
For teenagers experiencing oily and acne prone skin, the OSKIA Violet Water range is perfect. The Violet Water Clearing Cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid which gently exfoliates and purifies pores to help clear and brighten without striping the skin.
For more sensitive skin, a gentle cleanser and moisturiser would be the preferred choice.
