Many of us grew up with song lyrics like, “Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch…” Or maybe “We go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong” rings in your mind. But looking for things that go together transcends finding the perfect relationship. Everything seems to do better in pairs, from fashion and make-up to food and decor. And, while you expect some things to go together, “out of the box” pairings can often provide superior results. It is no wonder we like discovering what skincare products can be used together! Beyond basic skinimalism routines, our unique product pairings you wouldn't expect to go together will level up your match-making game.
Surprising Skincare Product Combinations
Can you mix and match skin care products? Absolutely! Like healthy relationships, each product has the potential to enhance or improve the other. With the right skincare products combo, you can up the ante on your routine with these perfect pairs:
CLEANSING COUPLES
For a next-level clean, use the CleanRefresh™ Foaming Oil Cleanser + Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser together a couple of times a week. This oil-to-foam cleanser doubles as one of the best natural makeup remover formulas and pairs well with any other Sulfate-Free face wash for pro-quality double cleansing daily. Remember to follow with an Alcohol-Free toner to complete the cleanse, turning the original cleansing couple into a cleansing throuple!
WASH, RINSE, REPEAT DUO
Using the Salicylic Acid face wash for acne, like the ProCorrective® Clear-Control Exfoliator, followed by a non-comedogenic moisturising Hyaluronic Acid face mist, toner, or serum is an excellent way to keep skin clear and dewy.
TEE-TOTALING TONER TWINS
You can’t go wrong with our Alcohol-Free toners! To address your multiple skincare concerns and customise your routine, you can use one kind of toner in the a.m. and a different formula in the p.m. For example, if you have rosacea and ageing concerns, use the RS2 Gentle Lotion for Rosacea in the morning and the Power Repair® Hydrating Toner at night to get your skin’s needs met.
Pro Tip: Spritz your toner onto a cotton or reusable pad to swipe away tap water impurities on your face, neck, and décolleté. And spritz your face again all over to allow your skin to drink in the moisturising ingredients.
EXFOLIATING PARTNERS – Since exfoliation is a must for those committed to skin positivity and pro-ageing routines, we have several different exfoliating partner options.
MARRIED EXFOLIATORS:
Using the Resurfacing Glycocides® Cream one night and following with the Enzymo-Sphérides® Peeling Cream a couple of days later is the ultimate exfoliation harmony. It marries acids and enzymes, each with different strengths. The Acids in the resurfacing cream dissolve the glue that holds those pesky dead skin cells together, while the Enzymes in the peeling cream dissolve the remnants, completing the exfoliating process. Where one leaves off, the other takes over, expertly revealing baby-soft, smooth skin and ending the debate over which type of exfoliation is better!
RENEWING RENEGADES
If you want to try skin cycling or mix things up with your routine, the Resurfacing Glycocides® Cream and the Micro-Retinol® Essential Moisturiser are must-haves in your rotation. Just don’t use them on the same day, as they would be too active when combined.
If sensitive or new to exfoliation, combine the Enzymo-Sphérides® Peeling Cream with the Micro-Retinol® Essential Moisturiser instead. And while our Micro-Retinol® does not sensitise like prescription retinoids, if you are extra-sensitive, you can sandwich another moisturising cream beneath to allow your skin to adjust. And if your skin is extra-extra sensitive, going solo with the Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser a few times per week is best.
ENLIGHTENED ENSEMBLE
Using the Enzymo-Sphérides® Peeling Cream, followed by the “C” Complexe with Oxyzomes Vitamin C serum, will allow you to recreate the luminosity achieved with professional in-spa Pevonia treatments. The Papaya and Pineapple Enzymes slough away dulling dead skin cells while the Vitamin C works to even skin tone, leaving skin smooth and luminous.
DOUBLE ACT
Because if one is good, two are better! Using two different serums in tandem is an excellent way to address multiple issues and layer on the skincare goodness. Find your concerns and serum solutions here:
Fine Lines + Loss Of Elasticity: Power Repair® Intensifier - Collagen & Myoxy-Caviar® + Power Repair® Intensifier - Elastin & Sorghum.
Fine lines + Uneven skin tone: Power Repair® Intensifier - Collagen & Myoxy-Caviar® + “C” Complexe with Oxyzomes.
Wrinkles + Sun Damage: “C” Complexe with Oxyzomes + Micro-Retinol® Essential Serum.
Sensitivity + Redness: Soothing Propolis Concentrate + RS2 Concentrate for Rosacea.
Surface Dehydration + Dullness: Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Serum + “C” Complexe with Oxyzomes.
Age Defense + Dryness: Stem Cells Phyto-Elite® Intensive Serum + Vitaminic Concentrate.
Pro Tip: Layering two serum formulas at home is akin to a mini customised daily facial, and as you can see, the possibilities are endless!
SUNSHINE-Y DAYS DUETS
Starting your day with a Vitamin C serum before your ocean safe sunscreen gives you added defense against UV rays and environmental aggressors. Our Hyaluronic Acid Hydra-Serum is another excellent serum to add to your serum/sunscreen team and the perfect complement to the YouthRenew™ Tinted Cream, no matter your skin type or concern. While either moisturiser with sunscreen can stand alone for oily or combo skin types, the extra dose of moisture from both serums is a match made in heaven.
CREAM COLLABORATION
Two creams in your daily routine can be better than one! Like the Tee-totalling Toner Twins, you can address different skin concerns and really fine-tune your complexion with one moisturiser by day and another at night. We generally don’t limit the use of our moisturiser formulas to morning or evening, but there are a few that need to be used as such. The best a.m./p.m. moisturiser match-up is the Hydrating Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 or YouthRenew™ Tinted Cream in the morning and the Micro-Retinol® Essential Moisturiser at night.
CLEANSER & MASK PARTY OF TWO:
So many cleansers and masks, so little time. But seeing as you are ready to settle down on the perfect twosome, here are a few options you’ll want to commit to:
ACNE-CLEARING CLAY-DATE
Schedule an acne self-care playdate with your skin. A cleanser for acne prone skin and acne mask with Kaolin and Bentonite Clays will purify clogged pores and control breakouts for the best skincare playdate ever!
OIL-BUSTING BUDDIES
Pair our natural cleanser for oily skin and combo skin with our black charcoal mask to minimise excess oil and detoxify your complexion. For those who aren’t acne prone but still want to keep their pores clear, they can choose one of our other clean skincare face masks.
AGELESS SET
Our Power Repair® Hydrating Cleanser, the best natural face cleanser for ageing skin, and Collagen Face Mask unite pro-ageing, nutrient-rich Marine Collagen, Marine Elastin, Shea Butter, and more, for more youthful-looking skin, no strings attached!
TWO-STEP TANGO TANDEM
Put your dancing shoes on with the Silky Skin Body Scrub, followed by the Enzymo-Sphérides® Peeling Cream to give callouses and roughness the heave-ho; add ½ a teaspoon of the peeling cream for professional-level exfoliation that gives new meaning to the term soulmates.
BEAUTY SLEEP MATES
The Resurfacing Glycocides® Cream applied to your face, neck, and chest, layered with the calming aromatherapy of the De-Stress Escape Aromatic Oil ushers in soothing, relaxing slumber.
Have fun with your skincare by trying various combinations of the pairs above to keep your skin revitalised and your regime refreshed and effective.
