Clean hands only for your skincare products
Keep your dirty paws out!! As a general rule, skincare products with the most water in the formula will be the most susceptible to bacteria once opened.
This means soft, thin lotions and moisturizers in an open tub are the highest risk.
Another factor is heat and large temperature swings. All of these things combined can create small Petri dishes instead of effective skincare.
As a rule, a moisturizer that is thicker and contains less water will be vastly more successful in supporting proper barrier restoration and protecting water levels in our skin. You don’t want one of those other watery, thin moisturizers anyway that is more inclined to grow bacteria and requires synthetic preservatives.
The ideal containers for serums are airless pumps as this keeps the product away from the oxygen that will oxidize and spoil it.
Using smaller containers can help and ideally replenishing from a refrigerated bulk size only as needed. Always wash hands before scooping out what you need, and using a mini-spoon will make a huge difference, too.
If you are properly preparing your skin for maximum absorption of the daily sequence of products by splashing your skin and steaming with warm water…your hands will always already be clean. ✨ #skinharmonics

About the author
I took many wrong turns when I started learning about skin at 19. The more I spent on skincare, equipment, and training, the further I felt from actually helping skin. I was frustrated with only being able to offer temporary and superficial solutions at best. What emerged from the disappointment and turmoil, I now call, The Regenerative Skin Process. Skin Harmonics is a dedicated medical fusion holistic skincare clinic that provides a root cause approach delivering lifetime skin health through medical grade skin care products, new learning, and Deep Pore Cleansing Facials.
