Post-Cleanse Moisturizing

Hey, it's Bob, Let's talk about the critical window after cleansing.

Your skin is most receptive to moisturizing products within three minutes of cleansing. This is when your pores are open and can absorb beneficial ingredients most effectively.

After cleansing with Keys Island Rx Micellar Foaming Cleanser, pat your skin dry but leave it slightly damp. Then immediately apply Keys Luminos Hydrating Facial Moisturizer. The dampness helps seal in moisture while the high concentration of therapeutic oils in Luminos penetrates deeply.

For the eye area, apply Eye Butter while skin is still slightly damp. The cucumber extract and Shea butter will work with your skin's natural moisture to tighten and tone.

At night, follow your cleanse with Reflex ProBiome Serum. Its formula is designed to absorb into dehydrated skin and work while you sleep.

This cleanse-and-moisturize timing is especially important in dry climates like here in Santa Fe, or during winter months when indoor heating robs your skin of moisture.

Don't skip the moisturizer, and don't wait too long after cleansing. Those three minutes matter!

Timing is everything in skincare!

Aromatherapy Benefits

Hey, it's Bob

Today's tip combines skincare with emotional wellness.

Keys products contain therapeutic essential oils that don't just smell good – they provide real aromatherapy benefits. These aren't synthetic fragrances that can irritate skin. They're pure essential oils used in therapeutic proportions.

Clary sage oil, found in many Keys products, is known for being euphoric and uplifting. It gives a sense of clarity and empowerment while rejuvenating cells and reducing stress. It's excellent for acne, inflammation, and hair growth.

Blood orange oil provides a refreshing, uplifting scent while the anthocyanin pigment acts as a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals.

Bergamot oil brightens and evens skin tone while providing stress relief. Ylang ylang nourishes and soothes while imparting a calming aroma.

When you use Keys products, you're not just treating your skin – you're creating a moment of self-care that benefits your mood and mental state. MetaClean's natural aromatherapy actually helps calm dogs and people during bathing.

Your skincare routine can be a form of meditation and stress relief.

The Power of Agave Aloe Vera

Hey, it's Bob

Today, let's talk about a Keys superfood ingredient: Agave Aloe Vera.

Aloe has been used since Ancient Egypt – Cleopatra reportedly used it as a beauty tool. The gel from aloe leaves soothes burns, wounds, and various skin conditions like eczema and acne. But Keys takes aloe to the next level.

Keys uses blue agave Aloe Vera from Texas. The leaf gel is extracted and jet-dried to maximize polysaccharide levels compared to liquid aloe gel. Polysaccharides are what give aloe its healing and moisturizing properties.

Then Keys reconstitutes this concentrated aloe with either purified water or proprietary extracts at various hydration levels, depending on the product. This means you're getting therapeutic-strength aloe, not the watered-down version in most commercial products.

You'll find this premium aloe in Luminos, Nextra Body, Eye Butter, and many other Keys products. It provides protection from pollutants and allergens while sealing in natural moisture. The Aloe Vera also creates a prismatic effect that gives skin a natural glow.

High-quality ingredients make high-quality results.

Experience the aloe difference!
