Hey Friends!

It’s a new year and you may have already, or been thinking about, getting your skin care routine (back?) in check. Pressing, not rubbing, your skin products into your face is the trick you need now to elevate your glow and enable results you’ll see immediately and long term.

This might mean new products or just cementing a real plan for your morning and evening applications: the products, the order, amount to use and exactly how to apply them so you get the best results. I did this recently as I came to grips with the fact that I have great, highly effective products I use sporadically ~ imagine that? ~ and that I’d benefit greatly from a plan that spells out my morning and evening routine to use them in unison with exactly zero guess work.

And…Here’s a gem of a tip: rest days are as important as treatment days, especially if you use ramped up versions of serums and creams. Nights when you merely cleanse and moisturize are paramount links in the chain of your clear, glowing complexion.

And now, onto the main focus of this story: if you’re rubbing your skincare into your face like you’re trying to start a fire… we need to talk. To press is best and I’m here to back up these words of wisdom with everything you need to know to press with the best…

Why Pressing Works Better

• Less irritation
  Pressing is gentler—especially for sensitive or reactive skin.
• Better absorption
  Warm hands + pressing = products actually sink in.
• Preserves your glow
  Rubbing can disrupt skin and cause redness. Pressing keeps things calm.

Products That Love to Be Pressed

• Serums
• Facial oils
• Essences
• Eye cream (especially!)

How to Do It (Simple + Fast)

• Warm product between palms
• Press into skin—cheeks, forehead, chin
• Light tap around eyes
  No tugging. No dragging. No drama.

Your skincare routine should feel like self-care and the way you apply your products truly makes a difference. Press, don’t rub, your skin care products and watch your complexion react with glee! Try this trick and I bet you’ll be impressed with your results!
