Establishing a good routine can be hard, so let’s go over the Rescue Spa way when it comes to curating a foolproof skincare regimen. The baseline of every Rescue Spa skincare regimen starts with a thorough double cleanse, followed with a toner to prep the skin, the application of targeted treatments and then seal it in with a nourishing moisturizer. The basis of the routine stays the same morning and evening, with some minor adjustments for optimal results. Follow along as we take you through a morning and evening foolproof skincare regimen.
MORNING SKINCARE REGIMEN
1. Cleanse
Good morning! Kickstart your morning with a gentle, hydrating cleanse to prep the skin for the day and to help you wake up a little faster!
The perfect hydrating morning cleanser. All you need is a gentle cleanse in the AM to remove any buildup from overnight and this magical multi-purpose facial balm, is safe to use for every skin type. Made from natural active ingredients to promote a radiant, smooth complexion.
Apply on dry skin with dry hands and gently massage. Remove using a damp Dual Washcloth to ensure everything is thoroughly removed.
2. Tone
Yes, you should be using a toner in the morning! This will help to balance the skin’s pH, remove any excess dirt, and prep the skin.
D22’s natural yet potent formula is packed with acids, minerals, enzymes and vitamins. D22’s clean formula is good for those with sensitive skin, pregnancy and those who use retinols. It’s a glow-inducing must-have prep-step that works for truly everyone to gently exfoliate, tighten, and unclog pores. Use after cleansing, on a cotton pad gently tapping into the skin in upward motions to promote lifting and boost lymphatic drainage.
3. Treat
This is where you can really hyper customize your routine to target your main skin concerns or skin goals. Step 3 is when you can either apply a targeted mask and/or serums of your choosing.
Biologique Recherche Masque Vivant
“If you use Masque Vivant at least twice a week you’ll never age. This unique mask contains live yeast extracts which are packed with amino acids and famously nourishing Vitamin B.

5. SPF
Sunscreen is essential.

EVENING SKINCARE REGIMEN
1. First Cleanse

Nothing removes build up better than this multi-purpose balm! All you need is a dime size amount for the entire face and watch your makeup and SPF melt away instantly after application. Emulsify with a little bit of water and then remove fully using the Dual Washcloth
2. Second Cleanse
Now that you are ready for your second cleanse, you should be using something targeted for your skin type and providing a more intensive cleanse.
MBR Medical Beauty Research Enzyme Cleansing Booster
The Enzyme Cleansing Booster is an enzymatic powder cleanser booster! This product is recommended as a second cleanse (2-3x a week) either on its own or mixed into your favorite milky cleanse (Lait VIP O2 makes for a great pair).

Your night-time toner can actually take on a more active role to target those more difficult skin concerns.
Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 1970
P50 1970 is the most effective and the most commonly used formula of P50, however it is the strongest formula as well. This acid-based toner effectively exfoliates the skin, balances sebum production and maintains the skin’s pH.
REMINDER: Application plays a huge role in the overall effectiveness of a product. With Lotion P50, apply using a flat cotton pad with tapping motions in an upward movement.
4. Treat
Similarly with your toner in the evening, the treatment step can also take on a more active role. This is the step where you can work in your retinoids or other exfoliants to target more difficult skin concerns. Be sure to alternate the nights you are using actives/exfoliants with peptide serums to ensure you are not over exfoliating.
