The Calm Skin Routine

Correct first. Then maintain.

Best for
Dry, sensitive, reactive, post-procedure skin—or anyone whose skin feels tight, uncomfortable, or unpredictable.

The philosophy behind this routine
When skin feels reactive or tight, it's not asking for more stimulation—it's asking for relief. When clients first come to me with skin like this, I simplify everything. The goal is to correct barrier disruption first, then maintain comfort and stability through consistency.

Once the skin calms down, this routine becomes maintenance—keeping skin predictable and resilient so it doesn't slide backward.

MORNING (Protect + hydrate so skin behaves all day)

1. Cleanse
Choose one gentle option—this is where barrier support begins.
Silk & Soothe Cleanser – velvety, soap-free, moisture-supporting cleanse
Laid Back Cleanser – ultra-gentle aloe + marine algae gel for very reactive skin

2. Protect (non-negotiable)
24/7 Defense – This is always my first step in treatment after cleansing. Protection prevents further irritation and preserves the correction.

3. Plump + Hydrate
Moisture Boost – This helps skin retain moisture instead of feeling constantly tight.
Trina tip: Mix Moisture Boost + 24/7 Defense in your hand and apply them together.

4. Moisturize
Choose based on how your skin feels:
Quench – lighter daytime hydration
Night Night Cream – richer comfort when skin needs more support

5. SPF (choose one)
Natural Physical SPF 50 Primer – mineral, sheer tint, soft-focus finish
Clear Choice - Sun Smoothie SPF 45 – moisturizer-style SPF

EVENING (Repair + restore)

Cleanse
Silk & Soothe or Laid Back

24/7 Defense
Yes—still used at night to support skin recovery.

Moisture Boost
Optional, but excellent when skin feels dehydrated.

Night Night Cream
(or Quench if you prefer lighter)

As-needed only
Clear Stick Spot Treatment — only if a blemish appears. Not part of daily care.

What happens over time
Skin becomes calmer, more comfortable, and predictable. Once corrected, this routine maintains results, so you don't need to keep searching.
