Skincare 101
Moisturizing your face may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many people don't even wash their face. The first step for proper hydration is proper cleansing. If you apply moisturizer to an unwashed face, you’re forming a protective barrier OVER dirt and sweat and trapping icky stuff into your pores. Don’t do that.
Of course, we recommend our two favorite cleansers, but we won’t get into the basics of face washing here, except to mention water temperature: Make it lukewarm. Hot water can dehydrate your skin, while cold water can tighten pores, effectively trapping oil and dirt in place.
So first comes cleansers, then comes toners, followed by serums (we’ll talk about those another day), and now it’s finally time to moisturize!
But wait...how do you even pick the right moisturizer?
Our moisturizers are all loaded with antioxidants and beneficial botanical ingredients that do more than just lubricate the skin. The number of options can be daunting, but here are some of our favorites, broken down by what they do best:
The Best Anti-Aging Moisturizer
The first product in our skincare line was a game-changing moisturizer that continues to be one of our top sellers. Flashback to 20 years ago, Bonnie Best, expert aesthetician and owner of the Best Face & Body Day Spa, noticed a recurring issue. Her clients were always grumbling about their greasy moisturizers and Bonnie could see the damage caused by mineral oils, alcohol, and perfumes in many popular skincare products.
Determined to make a change, Bonnie set out on a mission to create a moisturizer that was not only deeply hydrating, felt fabulous on the skin and could deliver anti-aging benefits of a professional facial. She dove into researching innovative ingredients like Red Marine Algae and Hyaluronic Acid and partnered with a US manufacturer who could bring her vision to life.
And just like that, Born Firm Anti-Aging Moisturizer was born! 🌟
The Best Lightweight Moisturizer
BUY BORN CLEAR LIGHT MOISTURIZERSoon after, Bonnie realized she needed to develop a moisturizer specifically for her clients with sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin. There’s a common misconception that those with oily skin don’t need moisturizer, but all skin types require hydration.
Some products used to fight acne can be extremely drying, which can add redness, irritation, and flaking to already problematic skin. Bonnie knew an oil-free formula with water-binding natural ingredients was the ideal solution.
Born Clear is a light oil-free moisturizer made with purifying ingredients that detoxify and kill bacteria. What's not to love?
The Best Moisturizer for Collagen Renewal
As time went on, Bonnie consistently kept up with the latest advancements in skincare ingredients, always looking for ways to incorporate cutting-edge components into her product line.
Studies revealed that topical application of Peptides stimulate the production of collagen faster and more effectively than any other ingredient. Peptide Lift & Firm was developed as a hydrating solution that could also plump and firm delicate areas of the skin that were beginning to show signs of aging. This product is excellent to use on fine lines around the eyes, crepey skin and areas that need a little lift and tightening like the neck or jawline.
