The skincare industry has finally caught on – more isn’t always better. The real magic happens when you strip away the excess and focus on multifunctional minimalism; formulas that hydrate, treat, repair, and protect in fewer steps.


We’ve seen it all, from overflowing bathroom counters to over-exfoliated, irritated skin. Guests who get the healthiest, most radiant results follow the recommended, straightforward, & simple principle: Build your regimen around a strong daily core regimen with multi-functional products, then layer in strategic weekly treatments, aka skin cycling.

A. Why Skin Health Comes First

The skin is our largest organ and works around the clock, seven days a week. Healthy skin ages better, functions better, and utilizes ingredients better. It does this by two major principles:

1. Resisting environmental damage

2. Retaining hydration efficiently

From Baby Boomers experiencing advanced signs of aging to Generation Alpha with naturally youthful skin, true luminosity reflects skin health. When the skin’s structure and barrier function are optimal, it emits a clear, even glow, regardless of the presence of wrinkles. Multifunctional products make maintaining skin health easy from head to toe without endless layering or product clashes.

B. Barrier Repair Is Non-Negotiable

When your barrier is compromised, no serum or cream can perform optimally. A barrier-focused routine should:

1. Include ingredients such as safflower and squalane oils to rebuild barrier lipids.

2. Incorporate hyaluronic acid and collagen humectants to attract and bind moisture.

3. Add anti-inflammatory ingredients like niacinamide and allantoin to calm irritation.

C. The Power of a Streamlined Daily Routine

Skinimalism doesn’t mean doing less for your skin; it means doing the right things consistently. Always recommend a morning (AM) routine and an evening (PM) routine but keep them simple and recommend within your guest's “product personality.” In other words, advise them to use the same number of products they currently use, and propose using one more product weekly or bi-weekly.

Here is an example of a multi-functional, skinimalism am, pm, and weekly routine for guests who have sensitized skin and use three products in their skin care program.


AM

• Sensitive Skin Cleanser

• Sensitive Skin Lotion (Toner): Can be used as a hydrating mist during the day, after workouts, and after make-up

• Soothing Sensitive Skin Cream: Can be used as a neck and décolleté cream

PM

• Sensitive Skin Cleanser: Can be used as a makeup remover and cleanser

• Sensitive Skin Lotion (Toner): Can be used as a hydrating mist during the day, after workouts, and after make-up

• Soothing Sensitive Skin Cream: Can be used as a neck and décolleté cream

Weekly or Bi-Weekly

• Enzymo-Sphérides® Peeling Cream: Great for fragile skin and can be used on neck, decollete, and hands
  • +Sample a cream mask to help repair the barrier while infusing moisture. Example: Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Mask

Building your guests' regimen around a daily cleanser and moisturizer duo creates a stable foundation for skin health. Then, adding a once-a-week intensive treatment helps to deliver visible results without overwhelming their barrier. This method keeps skin calm, hydrated, and resilient while saving time and money. Here are some products and their multi-functional benefits to look for:

1. Multifunctional Facial Cleansers that cleanse, hydrate, and do not strip the skin.

For the treatment room, choose:
Pevonia’s Facial Cleanser – This creamy emulsion removes make-up and can be used with any ultrasonic skin scrubber or even the vacuum setting on your facial machine for lymphatic, deep cleansing.


For home care, choose:
Power Repair® Hyaluronic Acid Multi-Active Hydra Cleanser or Stem Cells Phyto-Elite® Multi-Active Foaming Cleanser – These cleansers remove make-up and thoroughly cleanse the skin while maintaining moisture levels, so a hydrating mist after cleansing is not needed, but can be added if desired.

2. Hydrating Mists that balance the skin’s pH post-cleansing, prepare the skin for treatment, and infuse hydration.

For the treatment room, choose:
Pevonia’s Facial Toner – This toning lotion can remove water residue after cleansing. It is also a hydrating lotion that infuses moisture. It can be combined with enzymes or cream masks to enhance exfoliation or masking or even misted on the skin to help facilitate easy mask removal while moisturizing the skin.


For home care, choose:
Sensitive Skin Lotion, Hyaluronic Acid HydraMist™, Power Repair® Hydrating Toner, or Phyto-Aromatic Mist – Although each of these toning lotions is formulated to target specific skin types and/or conditions, they can all perform multiple actions on the skin, such as cooling and hydrating skin when enjoying the pool or beach, quenching thirsty skin while traveling, or helping set make-up for a clean, dewy look.

3. Eye Treatments - Not just for eyes

For the treatment room, choose:
“C” Évolutive Eye Gel, Évolutive Eye Mask, and Lumafirm® Eye Contour – Pevonia has multiple eye care products to choose from. Each one is formulated to treat and moisturize the Lumafirm® Eye Contour as an eye mask during the mask step of your facial protocol, and as a finishing treatment to complete your treatment. However, did you know that these eye treatments may be used as targeted treatments around the mouth area? Apply directly to trouble areas, such as the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, signs of hyperpigmentation, and lines and wrinkles that develop around the mouth area with age.


For home care, choose:
“C” Évolutive Eye Gel, Évolutive Eye Mask, and Lumafirm® Eye Contour – These products are available for home care and should be applied around the eye area and mouth to target specific concerns. Each one is formulated to help counteract skin concerns while improving skin health in these delicate areas by infusing moisture and protecting the skin’s barrier against areas constantly moving with expression.

4. Care Creams ~ Not just for faces

For the treatment room, choose:
With multiple options for complete customization to conclude your facial treatment, Pevonia’s Care Creams will target any concern your guests face (No pun intended). At the same time, due to formulations and superior manufacturing, only a TINY amount of product is needed, which increases value, decreases cost per treatment, and allows versatility when showcasing all the benefits one cream can have. For example, care creams can be applied to the neck and décolleté to treat the delicate skin in these areas, and to end facials with indulgence, apply a small amount to the back of the hands as an intensive, youth-restoring hand treatment. Not only does this “treat” your guest to something extra, but it also allows you face-to-face time with your guest at the end of the treatment to start your closing retail conversation.


For home care:
Recommend Pevonia’s Triphase Care Creams to attain results while treating the face, neck, and décolleté. Do not forget to add a drop on the back of each hand to treat and protect against environmental damage while improving the skin’s functionality to maintain strength and vitality.

5. Aromatherapy Face Oils ~ How many ways?

Don’t be afraid of the oil! Yes, aromatherapy oils smell amazing and have been proven to stimulate chemical changes in the brain that can result in mood changes like relaxation or alertness. Aside from those delicious aromas and feel-good benefits, they can be used on the body in the treatment room and at home from head to toe. Aromatherapy Oils improve circulation, support lymphatic drainage, and repair the barrier with nourishing plant oils.


For the treatment room:

• Use it as an inhalation technique that will instantly transport your guest to a state of well-being and relaxation

• Use during the steam on the scalp as a scalp massage to help and improve the scalp barrier

• Use aromatherapy oils as your massage medium or mix with Pevonia’s Micro-Emulsion Massage Cream to enhance your massage experience

• If you use tools in your practice, such as Gua Sha or stone roller, use them for slip to enhance these modalities

• Use aromatherapy oils to customize cream masks and care creams for added aroma and barrier skin benefits

For Home Care, choose:
Pevonia’s De-Stress Escape Aromatic Oil or Vitaminic Concentrate. Each oil is formulated with human-identical lipids that fortify the skin barrier and can be used from head to toe, making it an ideal choice even for the most experienced skincare enthusiasts.


Recommend these options for your guests:

• Use on the scalp as an overnight treatment. This works especially well for menopausal women who have experienced dry scalp, and don’t forget those ends. It will smooth the cuticle, reduce frizzy ends, and help prevent future frizz

• Use on the face as a serum under a moisturizer for added nourishment

• To enhance barrier protection in cold, windy weather, use on top of Pevonia’s moisturizers to help seal in all triphase creams

• If your guests use facial tools such as Gua Sha and stone rollers, this is the perfect medium to help ensure they maintain perfect pressure and reduce any dragging on the skin

• Finally, for guests who suffer from dry cuticles, these nourishing plant oils provide the lipids needed to strengthen, protect, and prevent splitting cuticles

Bottom Line:

Healthy skin isn’t about how many products your guests use; it's about how well they work together and what professional treatments complement their regimen. Educate your guests on skin health and the products needed to achieve that, and your guests will thank you for years to come.
