NEW TO SANITAS SKINCARE? LET ME INTRODUCE YOU!
Sanitas Skincare is a Colorado-based, female owned and run company. I have been using their line of clean, non-toxic skincare products for over 10 years with fabulous results!
The Sanitas system combines daily basics with "activating" products that promote skin renewal and repair. The results? Bright, healthy, glowing skin.
Simply put, Sanitas is clean skincare that gets results.
All Sanitas products are made in the USA, are cruelty free and contain no parabens, phthalates, dyes, harsh preservatives or gluten.
START WITH THE BASICS.
CLEANSER • SERUM • MOISTURIZER
These are the everyday basics that make up the foundation of your skincare routine.
• CLEANSER - removes debris and preps skin for serum.
• SERUM - think of serum-like vitamins for your skin. Serums nourish and hydrate skin.
• MOISTURIZER - hydrates skin and locks in moisture.
Note: Of these three, moisturizer is the only one I consider potentially optional. Depending on the time of year and the hydrating effect of the serum, moisturizer is not always needed.
FOR NORMAL AND DRY SKIN:
LEMON CREAM CLEANSER
A citrus-infused enriching everyday cleanser.
Removes surface debris without stripping or dehydrating the skin. Fresh lemon scent!
VITA RICH SERUM
A hydrating, reparative serum. Contains a protective blend of Vitamins E, D, C, E, K, and essential fatty acids. A little goes a long way! Very hydrating, great for dry, winter skin.
ANTIOXIDANT MOISTURIZER
Highly concentrated, deeply nourishing. Contains a blend of avocado and shea butters, with vitamins and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid.
FOR NORMAL, COMBINATION, AND OILY SKIN:
ENZYMATIC FOAMING CLEANSER
A balancing formula of natural fruit acids, enzymes, and gentle foaming agents lifts surface impurities without irritating or drying.
VITA C SERUM
This is my daily serum year-round. Vita C Serum contains 30% Vitamin C with essential fatty acids for potent antioxidant protection and instant hydration. With Vita C Serum - a little goes a LONG WAY! I generally use 2-3 drops at a time, not even 1/2 pump! One bottle lasts me nearly a year.
BALANCING MOISTURIZER
A lightweight moisturizer that tones and nourishes the skin while keeping oil under control. Matte finish.
Note: You can mix and match! You don't have to stick with one product line. I keep both Lemon Cream Cleanser and Enzymatic Foaming Cleanser on hand, as well as a treatment cleanser (I like Vitamin C Lactic Cleanser) to use before exfoliating. While Weightless Serum is my go-to, I break out the Vita-Rich serum during dry winter months...
READY TO TAKE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE UP A NOTCH?
BOOST RESULTS WITH ALPHA-HYDROXY ACIDS
Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) exfoliate by dissolving dead skin cells, increasing cell turnover, and triggering collagen regeneration.
AHAs make your skin more receptive to hydration, and even those with dry or sensitive skin can benefit from regular use of a quality AHA product, which is less likely to irritate than manual exfoliation.
CLICK HERE to learn more about AHAs.
NEW TO AHAs?
Start with a low concentration of 5% glycolic acid solution 2-3 nights per week. You will feel the tingle! That means it’s working!
ALREADY USING AHAs?
Over time, the “tingle” will lessen, signaling that it’s time to increase your concentration for improved results. Slowly work up from 5% to 10%, and then a 15% GLYCOLIC ACID SOLUTION. I’ve been using the 15% GlycoSolution several times per week for years now with amazing results!
A FEW CLASSIC PRODUCTS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS.
My absolute favorite combination - BRIGHTENING PEEL PADS and VITA C SERUM. This duo provides an instant facial and is my go-to routine before a night out or special event. After cleansing, swab face and neck with a Brightening Peel Pad. Follow with 3+ drops Vita C Serum for an instant glow!
Vita C Serum is also a great reparative serum for regular use day or night. As stated above, Vita C serum contains 30% Vitamin C with essential fatty acids for potent antioxidant protection and instant hydration to minimize the signs of aging. With Vita C Serum - a little goes a LONG WAY! I generally use 2-3 drops at a time, not even 1/2 pump!
Boost hydration for dry skin with HYALURONIC CONCENTRATE. Add 1-2 pumps to your regular moisturizer for a hydrating boost that protects skin from the dry winter air. Do not head to the ski hill without this!
Sanitas HAND THERAPY is a customer-favorite. It’s non-greasy yet ultra-moisturizing. Also makes a great gift!
