IDA'S NYE RUTINER 

The start-up phase

Challenges:
Ida had acne scarring and minor hormonal breakouts, and there was a tendency for her skin to produce excess oil. (See photo)

Wanted:
To reduce visible scarring and control hormonal breakouts.

The first 14 days:
For the first 14 days, we focused on reducing scarring as a result of acne.

In the next section, we present a list of the products Ida used in her morning and evening routine. The list is also available as a printable PDF.

Ida's skincare routine – the first 14 days

Morning:

For the morning routine, the skin needs to be gently cleansed and cared for with products that are mild, cleansing and reparative. In addition, 2 types of serums are used. One serum contains peptides and was selected to regenerate the skin. EGF peptides are reparative and regenerative, and studies have shown that scarring and acne respond positively to EGF peptides. We have also selected a Brightening Serum that brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation so that we can minimise scar visibility. Ida will complete her daily skincare routine by applying sunscreen with an SPF of 30.

• Cleansing Foam Tea Tree Oil 
  Gentle cleansing foam that removes impurities and excess oil. It is gentle on the skin but effective against impurities.
• Toner Tea Tree Oil
  The toner provides the best conditions to allow your skin to breathe. The toner combats the effect of limescale and removes excess dirt and dead skin cells. The toner ensures the optimal conditions to prevent your pores from clogging while improving the skin’s elasticity. Toner improves your skin’s ability to absorb the moisture you need after your cleansing routine.
• Serum EGF
  Regenerates damaged skin. Smooths out post-acne scarring and more. Promotes cell regeneration.
• Serum Brightening 
  Brightens the skin and reduces hyperpigmentation. Moisturises, soothes and smooths the skin.
• Day Cream
  Helps to add and retain moisture in the skin. Improves skin texture and provides a mild brightening effect.
• Dot Patch (ved udbrud af bumser)
  The patches provide deep cleansing and are effective against blackheads, blemishes and pimples. Can be applied directly to the problem area. Reduces impurities and blackheads.

Evening:

Til aftenrutinen har huden brug for at blive skånsomt vasket og plejet med produkter, der er milde, rensende og reparerende. Derudover anvendes der 3 slags serummer: Serum EGF – denne er valgt for at opbygge huden. EGF-peptider er reparerende og opbyggende, og studier har vist, at ar og akne responderer positivt på EGF-peptider. Brightening-serummet lysner huden og reducerer pigmentering, så vi kan mindske arenes synlighed. Night Peeling Serum PHA + AHA er en skånsom, men effektiv peeling. Formålet er at få huden til at regenerere, så huden hurtigere genopbygger sig og restituerer.

Synlige forandringer 

Forandringerne er tydelige (se foto). Idas ar er næsten ikke synlige mere, men Ida får stadig lidt hormonelle udbrud. Vi ændrer derfor i Idas hudplejerutine, så vi i stedet holder fokus på de udbrud, der kommer periodevis. Her fjerner vi nu Serum Brightening og tilføjer Serum 2% BHA, Serum Niacinamide samt en Glycolic Acid 5.5% Anti Blemish Toner.

On the other days, Ida continues with the Tea Tree Oil Toner. Ida continues with the EGF Serum and night cream in the routine.

The result after 28 days

Før 

Efter 28 dage 

Efter 28 dage er Idas problemhud forsvundet. De ar, hun havde efter akne, er ikke længere synlige, hormonelle udbrud af bumser opstår ikke længere, og huden har nu fundet en naturlig balance. 

In addition to the daily skincare routine, Ida received the following instructions:

• Be careful when using brightening and peeling skincare products. Use SPF 30 sunscreen intended for the face, or buy a hat with a wide brim.
• Do NOT touch your face unless your nails are perfectly clean, and even then, you should only touch your face to treat a pimple with a patch.

Minimum for 6 weeks:

• Change your pillowcase every week.
• Drink at least 1–1.5 l of water every day.
• Undgå for meget sukker og sukkerholdige sodavand. 
• Don’t eat crisps and fries.
• Don’t add other skincare products to the routine, as this can make it difficult to measure the effect.
