  • Keys for Post-Procedure Skin (With Physician Guidance)
    Feb 26 2026

    Hey, it's Bob, Today’s tip is for those who have had dermatological or cosmetic procedures—like peels, lasers, or medical treatments—and are thinking about how to care for their skin as it recovers.

    First and most important: always follow your physician’s instructions. After they clear you to return to gentle skincare, Keys can be a supportive, non-irritating option.

    Island Rx is often a better choice than harsh, foaming cleansers because it lacks sulfates and strong detergents. Once your doctor says moisturizers are okay, Luminos can help restore hydration and comfort without synthetic preservatives or fragrance that might irritate healing skin. For extremely sensitive or compromised areas on the body, MetaCare and Tortuga may be helpful under medical supervision.

    Post-cancer-treatment or radiation patients have used Keys products successfully because of their simplicity and purity—but again, always in partnership with medical advice.

    Think of Keys as your gentle partner for long-term care after the initial healing phase is complete.

  • Summer and Humid Climate Adjustments
    Feb 25 2026

    Hey, it's Bob, Today we’ll look at the opposite challenge: summer and humid climates.

    Heat and humidity can make heavy products feel suffocating, but your skin still needs cleansing and protection. The trick is to lighten your layers without abandoning care.

    In humid weather, you might find that Island Rx plus Luminos is all your face needs during the day—no extra layers. The Aloe Vera and oils in Luminos are hydrating without being occlusive, so your skin can breathe even in sticky heat. Save Reflex or Nextra Body for night-time only, when your skin isn’t battling sweat and sunscreen.

    If your body feels greasy in heavier products, switch to a thinner layer of Nextra Body alone instead of layering with Tortuga. Use MetaClean or Island Rx in the shower to remove sunscreen and salt from sweat without stripping.

    Blotting papers, not harsh astringents, can handle excess shine during the day. Your skin’s needs shift with the seasons, and your Keys routine can shift with it—always anchored in gentle, natural formulas.

  • Winter Skin Survival
    Feb 24 2026

    Hey, it's Bob, Today’s tip is about winter skin survival—when cold air and indoor heating tag-team your moisture barrier.

    In winter, evaporation from your skin increases dramatically. That’s why your face, lips, and hands can feel tight, flaky, or even crack. Keys concentrated formulas are especially valuable in this season.

    First, don’t over-wash with hot water. Use lukewarm water and Island Rx, then gently pat dry, leaving a hint of dampness. Immediately follow with a richer layer than you might use in summer: Nextra Body or Reflex first, then Luminos on top. For extremely dry skin, add a thin veil of Tortuga as the final step at night.

    On the body, especially legs and hands, apply Nextra Body right after showering, then spot-treat with Tortuga where cracks or roughness appear.

    Using a humidifier indoors and drinking plenty of water complements what you’re doing on the surface.

    Winter doesn’t have to mean uncomfortable skin—just shift your Keys routine into “cold-weather mode.”
