Skincare Secrets We Can't Keep to Ourselves
Our stunning staff members have curated a list of their favorite skin hacks... and we're sharing them with you!
I keep my Growth Factor Eye Serum in the fridge and use it under my eyes in the morning / night to reduce puffiness. Also another hack… I apply SPF on the tops of my hands, neck & chest every morning, not just my face. They're often the first spots to show sun damage. 💖🌞😎
–Marina
I apply Alumier retinol for the eyes on upper lip too, for those lines!
–Patricia
I use neck cream on my entire neck because who doesn't want the back of their neck to be firm as well!
–Dr. Julia Carroll
Dab a thin layer of ZO Enzymatic Peel on rough elbows and knees overnight to smooth, brighten, and fade dark patches. 💫
–D’Ondra
Use ZO Powder SPF as a touch-up on the go, including ears, back of neck, and even hairline.
–Nataliya
ZO Gentle Cleanser as shaving gel, game changer. No razor burn, just smooth, happy skin! 💙
–Dora
Use your skin care not only on the face, but include neck and chest as well, because they are a continuation of your face and need to look good too.
–Karina
My hack is Elta MD UV Clear to the face, neck, chest, ears, and then SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion to the face only. This gives another layer of protection to my face, and the Fusion has a BB cream-like effect. It also means no transfer of tinted sunscreen to my clothes!
–Dr. Sonya Cook
I use the ZO sunscreen powder in light and add the deep as a bronzer!!!! I get my colour and sun protection this way!
–Patricia
Summer hack: Phyto corrective mask mixed with a few drops of HA Intensifier or B5 Gel applied in a thin layer over the face for an overnight correction and hydration. Wake up in the morning and remove the mask and voila! Instant happy skin!
–Sheri
After applying sunscreen to your face, rub the excess onto the backs of your hands every morning. Also, keep a smaller size SPF in your purse, glove compartment or desk, like ZO sunscreen powder, for easy reapplication.
