It’s Fall… The air is cooler, leaves are changing colors, students are back to school, football games dominate the airwaves, and pumpkin spice is everywhere!
It’s a great time to take a moment and breathe in the new season. It’s also a good time to fall back into a routine skin care program for your best skin ever. If you’ve spent the summer in the sun, your skin will thank you.
While you cannot turn back the hands of time, a finely tuned skin care regimen will help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and sun damage. Fewer of these is almost like being 29 again.
A good skin care routine also helps to manage any minor skin concerns, such as dryness or oiliness, when you have a regular approach and use quality products.
If you’re dealing with specific skin conditions, like psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, or acne, routine skin care is not optional and may take a bit more thought. Your skin may be more sensitive to some ingredients, and it may need specific ingredients to help treat your condition. Finding a skin care routine that works for you can lead you to a clear complexion with less worry and stress over your condition.
Keep in mind that everyone’s routine is personal—what works for your friends or family or people you follow on Tik-Tok may not be best for you.
Start with The Basics
Skin care doesn’t have to be complicated to be great. The three basic steps of a skin-care routine are cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing.
Following a good routine, regularly, can pay off in a short timeframe, with most people seeing a visible difference in their skin in just a few weeks.
Let’s break these down…
Cleansing
Cleansing removes dirt, makeup, and other debris that may accumulate on your skin as you run around your busy day. A good cleanser breaks this dirt and grime down and removes it from your skin.
You should clean your skin every morning and night.
LuxeOrganix Remarkably Clean Purifying Facial Cleanser is a detoxifying activated-bamboo charcoal cleanser. It soothes your skin from irritation and redness with a gentle combination of enriched natural non-clogging oils that work as an antioxidant remedy to clean, protect and soften your skin. This cleanser is perfect for all ages and skin types.
When used with a deep cleansing facial massager (a “scrubby”), this aloe-based organic face wash unclogs pores and easily washes away makeup, dirt, and debris for remarkably clean, fresh, and brighter skin.
Exfoliating
Exfoliation removes the oldest dead skin cells from your skin’s surface. Your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells to clear the way for new cells about every 30 days. Sometimes, though, these cells don’t completely shed. This makes your skin look dull and dry, and can clog your pores, leading to acne breakouts.
When done long-term, exfoliation can increase collagen production. Collagen is naturally depleted as we age, so having more of it is key to glowing, vibrant skin. Collagen plumps the skin, and promotes skin elasticity, which minimizes the appearance of fine lines and reduces skin sagging as you age.
Exfoliation should occur after cleansing. It is not a daily step for most people. Exfoliating 1-3 times per week keeps your skin looking fresh.
There are three ways to exfoliate: manually using a granular substance (“grit”), chemically with acids, or with a tool like a laser or dermabrasion.
LuxeOrganix ReNew Exfoliating Face Scrub Polishing Mask uses AHA glycolic acid along with bamboo and walnut grit to create the ideal exfoliating blend that instantly polishes away dull, dry skin, blemishes, and dead skin cells. ReNew packs a powerful 1-2 punch with Turmeric and Australian Kakadu Plum to brighten and balance your skin, without stripping moisture and essential oils.
You can also leave this product on your face after using it as a scrub, to let the nurturing, brightening, tightening, and hydrating face mask take effect. The natural and organic ingredients in this scrub/facemask combat blemishes and sun damage while helping to fade acne scarring.
Moisturizing
Moisturizing your face helps to protect your skin’s barrier. It can be an effective block, keeping some of the daily dirt and grime from getting deep into your pores. Moisturizers also help reduce the development of dryness or revive skin that is already dry. Excessive and prolonged dryness speeds the aging process of your skin and often appears as fine lines and wrinkles.
You should alwyas moisturize after cleansing your face.
This is important: Even if you are prone to acne breakouts or oiliness, DO NOT SKIP MOISTURIZING.
You’re probably battling a never-ending go-around of using harsh cleaners, which dry your skin out too much, and pore-clogging moisturizers, which block your pores and contribute to your acne. Or you’re skipping moisturizer all together, which causes your skin to over-produce its natural oils in an attempt to hydrate and protect itself.
Get off the crazy cycle of too dry – too much oil – clogged skin.
Moisturizing regularly may actually help to decrease your skin’s oil production and keep it at normal levels. A more gentle cleanser that won’t strip these oils, followed by a light moisturizer that can deeply penetrate your skin should help you clear up and control acne breakouts.

Summary
So, to recap the three basic steps of a solid skin-care routine: cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize.

Fall into your good skin! You won’t regret it.
