Kim Gallo's 6 Steps to Glowing Skin Every Day
As an esthetician and skincare expert, I've learned a lot about skin in my years of experience. And one thing I've discovered is that daily care is key to keeping your skin looking its best. Here are my 5 steps to achieving healthy, radiant skin every day!
1. Cleanse:
Start your daily skincare routine with a gentle cleanser that's suitable for your skin type. Cleansing helps remove dirt and impurities from the surface of your face and prepares it for further treatment.
My favorite cleansers
Mega-Purifying Cleanser
Ultra-gentle cleanser instantly dissolves makeup, oil and debris on the skin.
Vitamin C Cleanser
An antioxidant-packed cleanser that promotes hydration and aids in protecting the skin.
2. Exfoliate:
Exfoliation is an important step in any daily skincare regimen, as it helps remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Choose a gentle scrub or alpha hydroxy product to use once or twice per week, depending on your skin type.
My favorite exfoliants
Anti-Aging Exfoliant Masque
Improves skin firmness, tone and texture with a blend of physical and chemical exfoliants
Professional Micro Scrub with PC10
The perfect alternative to microdermabrasion and is safer for the skin
3. Tone:
A toner can help balance the pH level of your skin and replenish the moisture lost due to daily activities like washing and showering. Look for one that fits your skin type; many are formulated with aloe or cucumber, which can be calming for sensitive skin.
My Favorite Toner
Professional CBD Facial Mist
Infused with CBD and Vitamin B3, this mist is used to assist in balancing freshly cleansed skin for a radiant complexion.
4. Hydrate:
Hydration is key when it comes to keeping your skin looking healthy and refreshed. Use a lightweight moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin from daily environmental stressors like the sun's UVA and UVB rays.
My Favorite Moisturizers
Age Delay Cream
An advanced, biologically active pentapeptide that stimulates the skin.
Mega-Moisture Cream
Lightweight but deeply hydrating cream repairs photo-damaged and environmentally stressed skin
5. Treat:
A serum or eye cream can help revitalize and nourish your skin. Look for one that contains antioxidants, peptides, or ceramides to help reduce redness, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
Moisturizing at night is also beneficial; choose a cream that will help repair your skin while you sleep.
My Favorite Serums
Peptide Serum
Activate the skin's self-defense system with this heptapeptide barrier repair formulation.
Stem Cell Power Serum
This serum helps to slow the aging process, lift and firm sagging skin and brighten discoloration.
6. Protect:
Sunscreen is an essential part of daily skincare to protect your skin from damage caused by the sun's UV rays. Make sure you use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 and apply it after all other skincare steps for maximum protection.
My Favorite Sun Care
Photo-Age Environmental Protection Gel SPF 30+
Protect and moisturize your skin with this FDA tested and approved, ultra light, water-based UVA/UVB broad spectrum formula.
