For those with sensitive skin, it can be challenging to find the right skincare products. We all want to treat our skin right and the hunt for the right equation of skincare products to do so can be difficult. One consideration for sensitive skin is the lookout for fragrance-free products, since synthetic fragrances in skincare can do your skin more harm than good. If you want to go for a fragrance-free skincare routine there’s a range of skincare we want to introduce to you. The SUZANOBAGIMD™ range here at Pure Obagi, targets just that and is scientifically formulated for sensitive skin.

The collection has a simple and gentle feel that leaves your skin refreshed and cleansed without stripping anything back, perfect for a simple and effective skincare routine. With its ABC ingredient system of antioxidants, it allows the product range to celebrate consistency and maximise results throughout. In this article, we’ll look at the SUZANOBAGIMD™ range, who Dr. Suzan Obagi is, what kind of products exist within her collection and how the simplicity of ingredients may be something for you to consider in your skincare routines.

What Is The SUZANOBAGIMD™ Collection?

Developed by Dr Suzan Obagi herself, the SUZANOBAGIMD™ collection prides itself on its simplicity of products to cleanse, protect and renew the skin. Fusing clinically proven ingredients with antioxidants, all dermatologically tested and deliberately made without any parabens, synthetic fragrances or dyes. Due to this revolutionary simplicity, it’s suitable for daily use on sensitive skin, along with its gentle rich properties. This collection helps healthier and more radiant skin, combating visible signs of aging including dull, lackluster complexions, wrinkles and rough uneven skin textures. At Pure Obagi we provide an array of SUZANOBAGIMD™ products from the basics of a cleanser and toner to SUZANOBAGIMD™ Cleansing Wipes for that quick on-the-go cleanse. Including BioDTox, a power trio of antioxidants, these wipes leave your skin freshly moisturised, and they’re also hypoallergenic, non-irritating and paraben-free.

Strengths of SUZANOBAGIMD™ Skincare

Ultimately, Dr. Suzan Obagi knows a thing or two about skincare, being a world-renowned skincare leader and a medical consultant at Obagi. Her revolutionary skincare line has many benefits, one being its purity and simplicity shown and executed through scientifically-backed products. The use of the ABC system, referring to three super ingredients that include Aloe gel, Broccoli and Citrus Bioflavonoids, all providing consistent skin rejuvenation throughout the range.

Aloe, a powerful antioxidant, is responsible for the soothing qualities in each product and helps balance the skin microflora. Secondly, Broccoli extract is included, considered the superfood for your skin having the power to derail toxins, alongside Citrus Bioflavonoids helping to defend the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals. This 3 step ingredient system works coherently with each other to provide the skin with gentle cleansing as well as intense skin rejuvenation. Demonstrated throughout her skincare range, including that of the SUZANOBAGIMD™ Intensive Daily Repair (IDR) a hydrating lotion including PHAs to gently exfoliate, and significantly minimise pores. Also with Peptides and Antioxidants to protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors, and Chamomile Extract to soothe the skin.

Galentines: Self Care Pamper At Home Routine

To the majority of us, February means Valentine’s Day, and let’s admit it, who isn’t partial to a bit of wintery romance? For some, it’s a chance to show appreciation for the other half. Others find it saccharine sweet, whilst there are those who dread the annual celebration of love. But whatever your stance, most of us would probably agree this special day shouldn’t be exclusive to couples. After all, love comes in many guises and should be inclusive.

What Order Should You Apply Skincare in Your Summer Routine?

The heat of the Summer can leave many of us wanting to ditch the thicker skincare products. However if you layer your products correctly, they should all be absorbed and the heat shouldn’t interfere with your skincare routine – sounds like bliss!

In What Order Should I Apply Skincare in Summer?

To put it simply, start with the lighter, thinner, water based products first, and then gradually layer on your thicker, oil based products, with SPF being applied at the very end.

By applying from lightest to heaviest, you are preventing any physical barriers from a thicker product getting in the way of absorption, by doing this you’ll really make the most of each of your skincare products.

In Summer this principle stays the same, lighter products first, heavier products last. Cleansing comes first, always. If your skin then needs to be rebalanced, apply your toner. After this start with your water based serums, perhaps your hyaluronic acid serums. Then you’ll want to progress onto your thicker serums, vitamin C serums or retinol creams as these are more likely to be oil based. Then go in with the lighter creams, and thicker moisturizers, and top it all off with a good layer of SPF.

It is vital that your SPF is applied last, by doing this you are ensuring that it is as efficient as it can be at protecting your skin from harmful UV and environmental damage.

How to Start an Anti-Ageing Skincare Routine?

Here’s an example of a brilliant anti-ageing Summer skincare routine, and the order in which it should be applied for optimal results.

Step 1 – Cleanse

The Obagi-C® Fx C-Cleansing Gel will gently cleanse your skin, removing dead skin cell build up, and any dirt, excess sebum and make up. This cleanser has been infused with vitamin C, so not only will it leave your skin feeling squeaky clean, it’ll also experience a boost in radiance.

Step 2 – Tone

After cleansing you’ll want to apply the Obagi-C® Fx Balancing Toner to a cotton disk, and lightly smoothe this over dry skin. This will help to restore the skin’s natural pH levels, repair the skin barrier and remove any excess sebum or congestion left behind during cleansing.

Step 3 – Exfoliate

If you’re looking to achieve younger, more refined skin you’ll want to exfoliate once to twice per week. A great product for the job is the Obagi Professional-C® Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask. This potent antioxidant scrub contains 30% l-ascorbic acid (the purest form of vitamin C) and ultra fine crystals to buff away dead skin cell build up, revealing softer, more radiant skin underneath.

Step 4 – Brighten

Brighten your complexion and diminish pigmentation with the Obagi Professional-C® Serum 15% (also available with 10% or 20% vitamin C). This serum is next to be applied as it’s the lightest of the serums and creams in this routine. Apply a few drops to the face and neck and allow it to fully absorb before moving onto the next step. This serum will stimulate collagen and elastin production, creating smoother, tighter skin with a more youthful appearance. Fine lines and wrinkles will be reduced and pigmentation will be lighter with consistent use.

Step 5 – Hydrate

We all know that in every great skincare routine there must be an equally brilliant moisturiser, Obagi Hydrate® is just that! This best selling cream is infused with mango, shea butter and Hydromanil^TM. Hydromanil^TM forms a matrix on the surface of the skin, preventing moisture loss, keeping the skin hydrated and plump for longer.

Step 6 – Protect

No Summer skincare routine would be complete without an SPF. Obagi’s Sun Shield Matte^TM Broad Spectrum SPF 50 will protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, preventing sun damage and pigmentation formation. This luxury, non-greasy formula should be applied last, so that when the UV rays make contact, the SPF will get to work protecting your skin. Remember, apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and keep topped up throughout the day to maximise protection!

You can be sure that the high content of antioxidants and SPF will keep your skin protected from sun damage and environmental toxins this Summer.
