Ask the Expert - The Face Planner
Emma Dobbie, Founder & CEO of The Face Planner
How are you best to prepare your skin when counting down to a big event? How far out should you start thinking about a skincare plan?
I have learnt that patience is a virtue when it comes to skincare results. Too often, we try products for a week at a time hoping to see results instantly, but the truth is many skincare ingredients need months of consistent use to have a real effect.
No matter what some products claim, everything your skin needs to glow can’t be found in one product either. That is why I created The Face Planner, an effective and curated set of ingredients and products designed to be used for three months when counting down to a big event whether that is a wedding, milestone birthday, red carpet moment or any other event where you want to look and feel your best.
You need to start by thinking about your skin cell turnover – which on average is 30 days however this can slow down with age, hormones and stress. Your skin cell turnover is the time it takes skin cells from the bottom layers of your skin to be sloughed away and start revealing new skin cells from underneath. This is when you would start to notice results from the products that you’ve been using, as these new skin cells are the ones that have been nourished by the new ingredients.
High quality ingredients are key and should work together – all of The Face Planner products and ingredients have been formulated to balance and enhance one another. For that coveted glow, your skin needs a combination of deeply hydrating and nourishing ingredients, natural exfoliants, antioxidants and active ingredients.
High quality ingredients
You’ll find both low-molecular weight and high-molecular hyaluronic acid in our serum which simply means your skin will be plumped on the outer layer and hydrated at a deeper level too. Our toner includes natural exfoliants, glycolic acid and lactic acid, to gently slough away dead skin cells and prepare your skin to better absorb the other products in your plan. Ceramides and peptides are used throughout our formulas at varying levels, to support your skin barrier and encourage the production of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C and niacinamide are antioxidant ingredients used to help protect your skin against environmental aggressors like UV and pollution.
When using our combination of products, you might start to see some improvement in your skin after one month, but you really need to give your skin a few cycles before you start seeing visible results. That’s why I recommend using The Face Planner products for at least three months before a big event, and if you are a real planner you could start six months out for even better results!
