Do you ever feel defeated by your skincare efforts? Or like you have all the right products but not exactly sure how and when to use them? If you’ve taken the necessary steps to purchase good (a.k.a Urban Hydration) skin care products, but you’re not sure if the products are really working as well as they could or if you are using them correctly, we are here to clear up the confusion. Let’s talk about what a thorough skincare routine looks like!

First things first, cleansing! Using the Castor & Shea Face Wash, you want to apply a tiny amount (trust me, a little goes a long way) to an already wet face. Using lukewarm water is ideal to relax your skin. Remember to wash your entire face and neck and give yourself at LEAST at 30 seconds before rinsing it off, and lightly patting your face dry with a cloth.

Then, if you have the time and really want to detox your pores, try the Castor & Shea Facial Mask. Apply a thin layer of mask to clean skin using fingertips and avoiding eye area. Keep the mask on 5-10 minutes, or until it dries. Gently peel off the mask from the edges. Your skin should be feeling much softer and exfoliated.

If you have any specific dark spots or pimples on your face that you need to treat directly, you definitely need to follow up with the Castor & Shea Spot Cream. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer of cream using clean hands. Start the application once daily, then gradually increase to 2-3 applications a day, to see best results.

Depending on the time of day, you can seal in the goodness by applying the Castor & Shea Daily Lotion , if this is for your morning routine. This nutrient packed face lotion helps smooth and even skin tone, while providing daily protection from environmental factors that increases signs of aging, to keep you feeling and looking youthful! Apply a pea-size drop to fingertips. Using upward strokes, work into your face and neck to moisturize and hydrate.

If you are ending the day, you’ll need the Castor & Shea Night Cream. This night cream will help leave your skin bright and balanced by fighting acne, fading dark spots, and smoothing skin overnight, so your skin feels as refreshed as you in the morning! Just like the Daily Lotion, use upward strokes and rub into your face and neck to nourish and hydrate your face.
