Step 1: Cleanse (gently!)
It’s essential to cleanse every night. Otherwise, you risk clogged pores and premature aging. (It’s true—skipping your nightly cleanse can accelerate aging. Download our guide to find out why!) For a thorough cleanse, use cleansing oil or micellar water first to remove makeup and SPF. Then wet your face with lukewarm water and cleanse with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser for 1 minute to fully dissolve dirt and oil.
Step 2: Exfoliate…in a Flash
We’re not exaggerating when we say exfoliation is everything. It improves skin texture, helps skincare products penetrate better, reduces signs of aging, and gives your skin a natural glow. LUXE+ Sonic Dermaplaning is a dermatologist + esthetician-recommended way to gently exfoliate, with the added benefit of peach fuzz removal and long-term skin improvement. You only need to Flash once a week to maintain your fuzz-free glow and you’ll see improvements to your skin quality in just one month.

Step 3: Unclog pores without irritation
Extractions are probably everyone’s least favorite part of a facial…but what if we told you there was a way to extract without pain or irritation and reduce the look of pores? DERMAPORE+ uses clinically proven Ultrasonic + Ionic Technology to gently loosen and extract pore-clogging debris, without the ouch factor. After just one use, 97% of our testers had a significant reduction in pore size.** Download our guide to find out more about how Ultrasonic Technology works!
Step 4: Tone up (your skin, that is!)
A well-formulated toner can promote cellular turnover and help you achieve your skin goals—whether it’s minimizing signs of aging or reducing the appearance of breakouts. Avoid alcohol-based toners, which can damage your skin barrier. Instead, choose an alcohol-free toner with a blend of gentle acids. Our Botanical Ketoacid Toner is formulated with encapsulated salicylic, lactic, malic + flower acids, and we performed clinical testing to make sure it’s safe for sensitive skin.
Step 5: Hydrate + target skin concerns
If you have specific skin concerns you want to address, a serum is your BFF. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas contain a high concentration of active ingredients and are ideal for layering underneath richer creams. Look for these clinically proven ingredients to see visible improvements in your skin:
-
Hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump
-
Peptides to visibly firm + support collagen production
-
Niacinamide to even out skin tone + support your skin barrier
-
Ectoin to help protect skin from blue light + pollution
Find them all in our HYDRAFLASH Cocooning Serum, which we formulated to work hand-in-hand with your sonic skincare devices.
Step 6: Mask up!
For a spa-quality glow, end your at-home facial with a hydrating mask. There are several different types to choose from, including sheet masks, rinse-off masks and reusable silicone masks. If you have acne-prone skin, you can also choose a clay or charcoal mask to help absorb excess oil. Keep in mind that a mask isn’t a non-negotiable like exfoliation and daily SPF, but it is an opportunity for a little extra self-care. (And that’s something we all need!)
Step 7: Protect with SPF
If you want to maintain the improvements you’re seeing from your skincare routine, daily SPF is non-negotiable. Sunscreen is key to preventing UV damage, which is responsible for causing wrinkles, discoloration and loss of elasticity. We prefer mineral formulas, which are Hawaii-compliant and tend to be less irritating, but the key is finding a formula that works for you.
