How to brighten dull, tired skin with Guinot

As we age our skin’s natural exfoliation process slows down more and more.  So over time our skin looks duller, dryer, and scars and sun damage tend to hang around a lot longer than they used to.  The key to fresher, brighter skin is to increase exfoliation and to use products with highly concentrated, quality ingredients.  The Guinot Newlight line is designed to brighten skin 2 ways: by inhibiting the production of melanin (which is responsible for dark spots) and by brightening the skin with ingredients like Vitamin C.  I’ve put together an excellent skin brightening routine using Guinot products which I know you will love!

The first step in skin care is always a proper cleanse.  You want your skin to start off perfectly cleansed so that all further treatment products you use will be able to penetrate without being blocked.  Guinot has a wide selection of cleansers for all skin types. Choose the correct one for your skin type.

Next comes the toner to finish the cleansing process.  Sweep Guinot Newlight Lightening Starter Lotion over your cleansed skin using a cotton pad.  This toning lotion contains fruit acids (AHA) to gently exfoliate as well as Vitamin C and Guinot’s secret formulation Clariskin® to brighten.

At lease 2 times per week exfoliate the skin using one or both of the following exfoliators.  The Guinot Gommage Biologique is an enzyme exfoliator which means there is no abrasion; the dead skin cells are gently dissolved with Alpha Hydroxy Acid.  The Guinot Gommage Grain D’Eclat is a physical exfoliator; the dead skin cells are gently polished or scrubbed off using jojoba beads.  I recommend using both types alternatively for best results.

Guinot Gommage Biologique: Biological Peeling Radiance Gel This gel exfoliator is great for all skin types including sensitive.  A pea-sized amount of gel is applied to dry skin and massaged all over until the consistency changes and becomes a slick liquid.  Once the consistency has changed it is time to rinse off with water.

Guinot Gommage Grain D’Eclat: Gentle Exfoliating Cream  This cream exfoliator is for all skin types especially normal-oily.  A small amount is gently massaged over wet skin paying particular attention to areas of congestion or roughness.

Since serums and masks have the highest concentration of active ingredients, their use is essential in reaching your skin care goals.  Apply the Guinot Newlight Masque Blancheur: Brightening Mask 2 times per week, leave on for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water.  Apply the Guinot Serum Blancheur: Deep Action Lightening Serum to clean skin every morning and evening before you apply your moisturizer.

Moisturize, protect, and further brighten your skin with Guinot Creme Blancheur: Brightening Cream.  Apply a pearl-sized amount every morning and evening on top of your serum.  Follow with your favorite Guinot eye treatment product and sun protection (during the day) and start looking forward to brighter, fresher skin in no time!
