This is an introductory video of my 7 day challenge.As for my daily morning and afternoon routine, here is here.
What strength retinol should I use?
The strength of retinol, retinoid, tretinoin, or other type of vitamin A you should use during your 7-day challenge will depend on your individual skin type and previous experience with this ingredient.If you are… retinol beginner If you’re not sure how your skin will react, look for products that are more beginner-friendly to minimize uncertainty about potential dryness or irritation. However, if you are used to retinol and are looking for a more transformative experience, we recommend using the strongest retinol that you feel comfortable with. Keep in mind that the more powerful the retinol, the more noticeable the results will be.
Are there any side effects?
It’s important to note that using retinol and vitamin A products can cause side effects such as sensitivity, dryness, and peeling. This is all considered normal, as the skin barrier is compromised for a short period of time during this challenge (especially days 4-6, when retinol takes effect). If at any point these side effects become excessive, modify your routine to meet your specific needs.
Why is moisturizer an option for some nights?
As you progress through the challenge, you may notice that it calls for the use of moisturizer as an optional step. This is because there is a term called “product entrapment.” If you are new to (or sensitive to) active ingredients like vitamin A, you can choose to layer a moisturizer on top and bottom of your vitamin A application to create a buffer between the vitamin A and your skin. This dilutes the strength of the vitamin A and therefore reduces the strength of its side effects. However, if you want to reap all the benefits of vitamin A and its potential exfoliating effects (maximum collagen-strengthening effects), you can also opt out of using a moisturizer before and after using retinol/vitamin A products. can. This allows the vitamin A to work deeper into the skin, potentially resulting in more visible results.
Can I repeat this 7-day challenge?
Good news for those who like a challenge. You can try again and again. If you feel your skin needs extra benefits, he recommends repeating this 7-day challenge.
Tip: We recommend waiting 2-3 weeks between each challenge to maximize results and give your skin the rest it needs. This will allow your skin to fully recover and allow you to get the most out of each experience.
Is this 7-day challenge suitable for all skin types?
yes!this applies to all 9 skin types. If you want to give your skin a glow, this challenge is for you. Make sure you are using the right products for your skin type.
Will skipping a step degrade my results?
Ideally, you should follow each step for best results, but sometimes there’s no need to worry too much about skipping one. Try to stick to your routine as closely as possible. However, remember that skipping a step here or there won’t ruin your chances of achieving great results. Good luck and enjoy your trip!
I have difficulty using retinol, what should I use?
If you don’t have retinol or just don’t want to use it, that’s totally fine. However, be aware that without retinol, you may not experience the same transformational results. Retinol has significant collagen-boosting and exfoliating effects, especially in prescription strength. But if you don’t like retinol or can’t use it for some reason, don’t worry. You’ll get smooth skin results that your skin will love.
