Introduction
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to work. In fact, sometimes less really is more. At myAuthentic, we believe in harnessing the power of just two base ingredients to deliver powerful results without the need for long ingredient lists. If you’re looking to build a simple, effective skincare routine, here’s a guide on what to include and how our products can help you achieve balanced, healthy skin.
Step 1: Cleanse – Start with a Fresh Canvas
A good skincare routine begins with a gentle, effective cleanser that clears away dirt, oil, and impurities. Cleansing preps your skin for the next steps and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. Look for a cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils.
Our Recommendation:
myAuthentic Cleansing Foam
Made with just electrolysed water and salt, our cleansing foam is soap-free and ultra-gentle, making it perfect for all skin types. It’s an extremely effective degreaser that, as a cleanser effectively removes impurities and excess oil while keeping your skin balanced and refreshed. It’s a simple yet powerful start to any routine, especially for those looking to avoid harsh chemicals and fragrances.
Step 2: Calm and Protect with a Facial Mist
After cleansing, it’s time to give your skin an extra layer of defense. Using a mist with natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties can help calm the skin, prevent breakouts, and protect against environmental stressors. This step is especially valuable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Our Recommendation:
myAuthentic Hypochlorous Facial Mist
Our facial mist harnesses the power of hypochlorous acid, a naturally occurring compound known for its calming and protective benefits. A few spritzes after cleansing help reduce redness, balance the skin, and keep bacteria at bay. Ultimately, supporting clear, comfortable skin. It’s an ideal addition for daily use, especially if you’re looking for a natural, gentle way to maintain skin health.
Step 3: Moisturise for Lasting Hydration
Keeping your skin hydrated is key to a healthy, resilient complexion. A good moisturiser locks in moisture, supports the skin barrier, and keeps your skin feeling soft and smooth throughout the day. While myAuthentic doesn’t currently offer a moisturiser, we recommend looking for one that’s free from added fragrances and unnecessary fillers, complementing the simplicity of our two-ingredient products.
Step 4: SPF Protection – A Must for Every Routine
The final step in any skincare routine, no matter your skin type or age, should always be a high-quality SPF. Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin damage. Using a broad-spectrum SPF daily protects your skin from harmful UV rays, prevents long-term damage, and maintains a healthy, even complexion.
Why SPF is Essential:
- Prevents Premature Aging: UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. SPF protects these structural proteins, helping your skin stay firm and youthful.
- Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Sunscreen helps to prevent sunspots and other forms of pigmentation caused by UV rays, promoting a more even skin tone.
- Supports Skin Health: By shielding your skin from environmental stressors, SPF allows your skin to focus on repairing and maintaining its natural barrier rather than constantly defending against damage.
For best results, look for an SPF 30 or higher and apply it every morning, even on cloudy days. Reapply throughout the day if you’re spending time outdoors, especially after sweating or swimming. One of our favourite sunscreens is this SPF 50 from Bondi Sands. It’s a mist spray that has the strongest UVA rating (5 stars).
By making SPF an essential part of your skincare routine, you’re giving your skin the best chance to stay clear, healthy, and radiant for years to come. When paired with the simple, effective steps from myAuthentic, a good SPF completes a well-rounded skincare regimen that prioritises both protection and care.
