Back-to-school face routine: three steps for rehydrated skin

Back to school often means new beginnings and good habits to rekindle. What if this year, we started by taking a little more care of ourselves?

After several weeks of heat, sun, and swimming, skin can become more dehydrated and its protective barrier weakened. The end of summer is therefore an ideal time to return to a regular routine, restore hydration, and gently prepare the skin for the colder months ahead.

To help you, our Rainspa experts have selected a three-step Dermalogica routine, designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. A ready-to-use routine, easy to integrate into your daily life, that combines recognized professional treatments and the expertise of our facial care teams.

Cleanse. Treat. Hydrate. Three essential steps to care for your skin, morning and night.

1. Cleanse

It all starts with clean skin. Cleansing is the step that removes impurities, excess sebum, and accumulated residue while preparing the skin to receive subsequent treatments. In the evening, remember to remove your makeup before starting your routine. In the morning, this gentle cleansing refreshes the face and helps you start the day right.

For this first step, our Rainspa experts have chosen UltraCalming™ Cleanser, a pH-neutral, non-foaming gel-cream facial cleanser. Gentle and soothing, it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

To use it, pump a small amount of product into your hands and emulsify it before applying it to your face and neck, massaging gently. You can use it on slightly damp skin or directly on dry skin if your skin is sensitive. Rinse with water or simply remove the product with a clean cloth or washcloth.

2. Treat

Once the skin is cleansed, it's time for treatment. Daily Milkfoliant™ is a soothing vegan exfoliant that gently helps remove dead cells and impurities that can dull the complexion. An ideal step to restore radiance after summer while preparing the skin to better receive hydration.

Its oat and coconut-based powder transforms into a light foam upon contact with water. Unlike many exfoliants, it can be used daily, even on sensitive skin, thanks to gentle, acid-free exfoliation.

To use it, pour a small amount of powder into the palm of your hand, then gradually add a little water with your other hand to create a light foam. Apply it to your entire face and massage gently.

For areas that need a little more attention, such as the sides of the nose or the T-zone, use less water initially to work the powder more precisely, then gradually add more to emulsify thoroughly and finish the process gently.

3. Hydrate

The last and essential step to preserve skin balance: hydration.

Stabilizing Repair Cream™ is a repairing moisturizing cream enriched with ceramides. It helps maintain hydration day and night, and supports the skin's barrier for more comfortable and balanced skin.

Take an amount equivalent to a small hazelnut of cream and spread it over your face, massaging gently with upward movements. Finish with the neck, using downward movements to promote lymphatic drainage.
