A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to join RoC® at Real Simple’s Beauty + Balance event in NYC. It was a relaxing, yet educational day spent with expert dermatologists and estheticians to test out some RoC® products and learn steps to a smart skincare routine. Since I’m such an outdoorsy adventure girl, I really can’t avoid the elements, so I wanted advice on safe ways to incorporate retinol into my routine without getting a reaction from the sun and surf this summer. I’ve been taking the four basic steps below (in moderation) with a few of these products to help achieve a flawless face, no matter what my lifestyle.
1. CLEANSE: It’s super important to get makeup and grime off your skin after a long day, especially in NYC. First, I use RoC® Daily Resurfacing Disks to slough off any dull, dry skin. These textured pads are a great way to help reduce the signs of aging and reveal smoother skin.
2. PREVENT: The older we get, the more fine lines start to appear, YIKES! So, a gentle way that I can combat expression lines is with RoC® Retinol Correxion® Deep Wrinkle Serum, which contains a combination of pure retinol and a mineral complex. I’ve been using it daily and I’m noticing a more radiant glow to my face.
3. PROTECT: Next, my secret anti-aging weapon is SPF…EVERYDAY! RoC® Multi Correxion® 5 in 1 Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30, helps to improve my skin’s texture and prevent fine lines. I don’t like to over do it with moisturizer in the summer because it can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. But, this one is oil free, goes on light and doesn’t feel greasy. And, it holds up even when I’m out for a long run!
4. SMOOTH: Eyes are sometimes an afterthought when it comes to skincare, but I’ve been making it a point to include this last step every day (and night) into my regime. The RoC® Retinol Correxion® Eye Cream contains a combination of pure retinol and a mineral complex to help smooth my skin’s surface. Hopefully this will keep dark circles and puffiness to a minimum, especially on days that I have super early call times.
So far, with these simple steps and fast-acting products, my skin is starting to look and feel more radiant than ever. Stay tuned for more updates as I follow this new beauty routine during the next few months.
Enjoy this holiday weekend and don’t forget your SPF!
Happy Summer, Beauties!
XOXO,
NYC
