Annmarie Skin Care Cleansers
What is the first step in a skin care routine?
Cleansing, of course, is the first step. This oftentimes can be put down a little bit because it’s a quicker step. You put it on, you rinse it down the sink, it’s gone, you move on. However, this step is essential because it sets you up so the products that are coming after can penetrate appropriately, while also leaving your skin appropriately balanced.
What is your most popular cleanser?
The most popular cleanser is the Aloe Herb Cleanser. It does come in 2 sizes. I’ve got the 100 Milliliter and the 50 milliliter here. This one also comes in a sample size that is included in our Clean Beauty Trial. It’s a very simple, very kind of soft blend. The textures that it’s nice and creamy. This cleanser is particularly great for dry skin types, for skin types that are starting to see signs of aging, so fine lines, specifically fine lines due to dry or dehydrated skin.
What size does the Phytonutrient Cleanser come in?
The Phytonutrient Cleanser comes in a 100 milliliter bottle, while the Aloe Herb Cleanser does come in 2 sizes, the Phytonutrient cleanser just comes in the one size.
What is one of the key ingredients in the Phytonutrient Cleanser?
One of the key ingredients is a Mango Seed Butter, and it really provides this kind of fatty acid consistency, so the feel of it is very rich on the skin.
How long should I leave the cleanser on my skin?
With all of our cleansers, but the Phytonutrient Cleanser specifically, we recommend leaving it on the skin at least 30 seconds to a minute to make sure that you’re gleaning the benefits of all of the ingredients, but specifically the the signature Serum blend that is part of the Phytonutrient Cleanser.
How do you remove the Restorative Cleansing Oil?
One way to remove the Restorative Cleansing Oil is to use it as a part of a double cleanse routine. Use this first and then use another cleanser after it (any cleanser will do!). Another alternative to that would be a warm, wet washcloth. That’s a great way to remove it completely.
Annmarie Skin Care Toning Mists
How many Toning Mist options do you have in your line and what are they used for?
We have three beautiful toning mists! What our toning mists are used for in your routine is a little bit different, potentially than other skin care lines. Frequently, a skin care brand or line will recommend a toner or Toning Mist for one of 2 reasons, and that might be to rebalance the pH of your skin or to intentionally be a little bit astringent. That could be removing excess oil, or has some kind of benzoyl peroxide or other harsh ingredient in it targeted for a specific skin concern. Ours are not doing either of those, all of our cleansers are Ph balanced so we don’t need to bring anything in that is going to rebalance the pH of the skin (assuming you’re using a cleanser from our line). Our toning mists give your skin a burst of nutrition and hydration to the skin. Now they’re all formulated a little bit differently, so in terms of what specifically they’re cultivating, it will depend on the one that you choose. They also can be used as this extra vehicle to really support your serum and the facial oil, driving that into the skin a little bit more deeply.
How do you use your toning mist? Do you wipe it off?
There are a couple of options, neither of which you wipe off. You can either mist your skin and let it dry naturally, or you can mist your skin and immediately apply your serum and facial oil. Leaving your skin damp while you apply your serum and facial oil can be extremely helpful for the absorption process.
Annmarie Skin Care Activated Night Serum
What is the Activated Night Serum? Is it new to your line?
Yes! This is our newest serum launch. The Activated Night Serum is extremely special and unique because this has what’s called our Bioactive A-Complex, and that is essentially our safe version of a Retinol. It can be super helpful for addressing temporary redness and enlarged pore size, rejuvenating overall skin appearance, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines. Everything that a Retinol can do but one of the big differences is that it is working in a bioavailable way versus blasting the skin with harsh ingredients and super exfoliating it. Our Activated Night Serum does exfoliate, but it’s not nearly as intense as a retinol can be. However, the commonality is that we still highly recommend wearing a SPF the following day, post application.
How often can you use the Activated Night Serum?
This truly depends on your skin type and your sensitivity level. We have customers and team members who can use it nightly, while some have to use it every other night or a few times a week.
Annmarie Skin Care Product Questions
Is it safe to wear your products in the sun?
None of our products are providing protection except for our Sun Love, which is our SPF 20 sunscreen product. And it is a very high quality product. It’s a non-nano zinc oxide but still applies sheer and has this reputation for a being a really simple blend that absorbs evenly. Otherwise, aside from the retinol alternative products (the Activated Night Serum and Revitalize Boosting Elixir), everything else, you can go out into the sun and will be completely safe.
Are your products stored in aluminum packaging safe?
Yes! We do have a few products that are in aluminum packaging. However, it’s always a lined aluminum. We have the Sweet Sunrise Shampoo, Sweet Sunrise Conditioner, Rosemary Peppermint Hand & Body Wash, and Kaolin Micro Exfoliant that are all stored in aluminum packaging. All of them have a Bpa free lining inside, so that there isn’t any cross contamination or possibility of a leak with the aluminum.
