Want to learn how to use your new Elemis products? Cult Concierge expert Grace is here to help!
HOW TO USE ELEMIS
Firstly, you’ll want to identify your skin type as well as your concerns. Once you have this information, you’ll be able to look through the Elemis range and select the best products for you. - Now you’ve chosen your products, it’s time to put your routine together! How your skin takes to each product depends on your skin’s sensitivity levels and whether you have used these ingredients before. We recommend introducing new products gradually making sure you patch test first-- this is particularly important with any active ingredients.
- It’s always great to start your routine with a cleanser as this will help to remove any make up or excess oils from throughout the day. When using a balm cleanser, Elemis recommends warming a pea sized amount of product between your palms. Massage this over the face, neck and décolleté using light circular massage movements.
- Once you reach your moisturiser or oil stage, Elemis love massaging upwards and outwards using a light touch for ultimate relaxation.
CAN I USE ELEMIS WHEN PREGNANT?
This all depends on the formulation as there are a few ingredients we would warn against using during pregnancy, such as retinol, salicylic acid and some essential oils. If you have any queries regarding a particular product, you can reach out to the Cult Concierge team, however, please speak to your doctor before introducing any new product into your routine.
