For Face:
Step 1: Cleanse
The first step in a skincare routine is to cleanse. Leave the skin feeling fresh and nourished with Cetaphil’s range of cleansers. The Daily Exfoliating Cleanser ™ is suggested for all skin types, gently exfoliating the skin without causing irritation or dryness. If you are on the go look after your skin with Gentle Skin Cleansing Wipes ™ consisting of a mild formulation that won't strip the skin of its natural protective oils. Suitable for all skin types, this product is dermatologist tested and clinically proven to be gentle on sensitive skin. If you are after a deep cleanse, incorporate the Gentle Foaming Cleanser ™ into your routine. With a formula containing glycerin, pro-vitamin B5 and essential vitamin E, the skin can soften and won't be stripped of its natural moisture balance.
Step 2: Moisturise
After completing your cleansing routine, it's time to moisturise. By moisturising, you provide the skin with long-lasting hydration that replenishes and protects the skin's moisture barrier from dryness. With Cetaphil’s range of core and specific skin type products, leave your skin feeling nourished and free from irritation with products dermatologically tested and marked appropriate for sensitive skin. Explore the range of moisturisers targeted for eczema-prone skin, dry to normal sensitive skin, dry to very dry sensitive skin, acne-prone skin and products suited to all skin types.
Step 3: Sun Protection
Sun protection is an important element that should be incorporated within your daily skincare routine. Applying sunscreen daily can help minimise your risk of skin cancer and damage. Whilst these are the obvious benefits, applying sunscreen can also assist with the anti-aging of the skin [3]. Cetaphil offers two forms of sunscreen for the highly active person or someone who runs errands every day. Perfect for everyday use, Cetaphil’s Sun SPF50+ Ultra-light lotion ™ is a physical sunscreen perfect for everyday use. For those who are more active or what that extra bit of protection, Cetaphil’s Sun SPF50+ Kids Liposomal lotion ™ will keep you sun-safe. Both products are fragrance-free with a non-greasy formulation that won't clog pores, suitable for sensitive skin.
For Body:
Step 1: Cleanse
Just like your face skincare routine, the first step is to cleanse. Whether you are out and about or just heading to work, the body can sweat under clothing with a build-up leading to clogged pores. Cetaphil’s range of gentle body cleansers leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Products are categorised to suit oily or combination skin, sensitive and dry skin, eczema-prone skin, oily skin and some to suit all skin types. Cleanse with ease using the Gentle Cleansing Bar ™ or Ultra Gentle Refreshing Body Wash ™ as a part of your shower routine. With both products, dermatologist tested the hypoallergenic formula won't block pores or irritate sensitive skin. The skin will be left hydrated with a combination of vitamin B5 and glycerin present in both products.
Step 2: Moisturise
After cleansing your skin, moisturise the body with Cetaphil’s range of body moisturisers. Hydrate and nourish the skin with products in the forms of ultra-lightweight lotions, sprays, gels and moisture-rich creams. With products labeled dermatologist tested, feel assured sensitive skin won't be irritated. Clinically proven for long-lasting hydration, explore products specific to eczema-prone skin, dry to normal sensitive skin, and dry to very dry sensitive skin. For optimal hydration, explore the Optimal Hydration Replenishing Body lotion ™ or Optimal Hydration Body Spray Moisturiser ™, offering deepens dynamic hydration and defending against the 5 signs of skin sensitivity.
Step 3: Sun Protection
Just as mentioned to incorporate in your face skincare routine, it is important to incorporate sunscreen within your body skincare routine. Applying sunscreen daily can help minimise your risk of skin cancer and damage. Whilst these are the obvious benefits, applying sunscreen can also assist with the anti-aging of the skin [3]. Cetaphil offers two forms of sunscreen for the highly active or working person. Perfect for everyday use, Cetaphil’s Sun SPF50+ Ultra-light lotion ™ is a physical sunscreen perfect for everyday use. For those who are more active or what that extra bit of protection, Cetaphil’s Sun SPF50+ Kids Liposomal lotion ™ will keep you sun-safe. Both products are fragrance-free with a non-greasy formulation that won't clog pores, suitable for sensitive skin.
You can start your skincare routine at any time. After you have determined the products best suited to your skin needs and the type and laid out a plan, implement the routine. With some Cetaphil products, you may be able to feel the difference in as little as 2 hours. Consistency is the key to long-term results.
Implementing a skincare routine when eczema-prone can be tricky and irritating, but with Cetaphil's eczema-prone product range, skincare is made easy. Currently, Cetaphil offers two products specific to eczema-prone needs. The PRO Eczema Prone Skin Restoring Moisturiser ™ containing Filaggrin Technology ™ and Cetaphil Pro Eczema Prone Skin Restoring Body Wash ™ containing a Filaggrin complex provides soothing relief for dry, itchy skin. The specialised body wash is fragrance-free, soap-free and paraben free, making it suitable for those who are hypoallergenic. With an endorsement by the Eczema Association of Australasia, the skin replenishing moisturisers won't clog pores or irritate skin with its hypoallergenic formula. With both products dermatologically tested, you can worry less about skin irritation and enjoy the feel of nourished skin.
Ensuring that your skin care products won't prompt acne-prone skin can be challenging. Cetaphil has created a product range for those who suffer from acne-prone skin.
