Our skin is the largest organ in the body and it’s on display 100% of the time. However, unfortunately for us, it can be seen as a reflection of our general well-being. Many factors affect our skin, including the food we consume, environmental factors and the products we apply. These can all lead to visible skin changes and signs of ageing (which we don’t want!)
One way to create a positive change to our skin’s look and feel is to include targeted natural ingredients in our skincare products and to follow a regular skincare routine. Lucky for you, below is Modere’s 4 step hydration station routine – we’ve also included some ingredient spotlights!
4-Step Skin Care Routine
Step 1. Cleanse – Daily Cleanse to remove makeup and impurities in the skin, Weekly Exfoliation to remove dead skin cells.
Step 2. Balance – Restore the skins water channels and condition the skin.
Step 3. Boost – Provide a daily boost of skin-building collagen and peptides along with botanicals and skin-boosting Vitamin C. For an extra recharge, use a Mask to deeply infuse botanicals for an extra boost 2-3 times per week.
Step 4. Nourish and Protect – Daily moisturizer to lock in moisture and protect the skin from the environment.
STEP 1: CLEANSE
CLEAN BABY, CLEAN
The ideal cleanser is one that not only cleanses your skin but one that avoids drying it out whilst supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Modere CellProof Double cleanser will do the trick. One formula, two kinds of clean.
This oil-to-foam face wash targets two kinds of impurities in one innovative formula.
First, it dissolves makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum with carefully selected plant-derived oils. Then, add water and it transforms into a purifying micro-foam, gently rinsing away pollutants, dirt and dead skin, leaving skin balanced and radiant — showing off your own natural beauty.
CellProof Double Cleanser – Ingredient spotlight:
Sea Buckthorn
Sea Buckthorn has been used for many centuries. It is full of Vitamin A, C, E, antioxidants as well as all omegas. This super ingredient has been shown to visibly help with elasticity and hydration of the skin.
Jojoba
Research shows that Jojoba oil has the ability to rebalance your skin’s natural oils. Who doesn’t want naturally glowing skin?
STEP 2: BALANCE
BALANCE, YOU OUT
Keeping the skin hydrated and toned might sometimes seem like a mission impossible! Luckily, there are a few of nature’s wonders that can help, and they are found in our Hydrating Activator. This secret weapon is feather light, oil-free, and utilises natural exotic plant extracts to bring uneven moisture into proper balance. It is the pathway to hydrate and deliver nutrients to the skin.

Haberlea Rhodopensis
Otherwise known as the ‘resurrection plant’ as it can resurrect itself after months of drought. This plant develops molecules that allow the plant to resurge – how cool. The same applies to your skin where it boosts hydration, leading to a visible increase in elasticity and radiance. What a wonder plant!
STEP 3.1: BOOST
LET THAT INNER BEAUTY SHINE!
There are certain botanicals and vitamins that when applied topically can help visibly lift and tighten the look of your skin. That’s where our CellProof Serum steps in! Let the little staple nurture and revive the look of your skin. You can use this in your daily routine to restore a luminous appearance!
CellProof Serum – Ingredient spotlight
Allantoin
An extract that can be found in plants such as comfrey, chamomile, and beetroots. This extract reinforces the skin’s natural protective barrier and improves its ability to retain moisture. It also has keratolytic, meaning it can exfoliate dead skin cells and therefore, boosts the appearance of your skin.
French Plum seed oil
This oil contains vitamins E and A, provitamin B5 (beta carotene), oleic acid and linoleic acid. It’s great for dry and ageing skin as the high oleic and linoleic acid help replenish moisture and promote skin hydration. Provitamin B5 helps moisturise the skin by acting as a humectant or hydrophilic ingredient (drawing water from the air to the skin)
STEP 3.2: INFUSE
SOAK IT ALL IN!
Wake up your skin with Ox3TM technology. This technology is specifically found in our CellProof Infusion Mask. It releases oxygen bubbles across the surface of the skin allowing your skin to absorb the benefits of some powerful botanicals. Each application clarifies and nurtures your skin to support hydration and visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking fresh and luminous.
Use this product 2-3 times a week to help clarify and nurture your skin. Sit will support hydration and visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking fresh and luminous.

Snow Algae
Otherwise known as Coenochloris signiensis, a form of algae found at the top of mountains in some of the coldest climates around the world. This magical alga is sometimes referred to as pink snow.
Snow Algae has managed to develop survival strategies that enable it to grow and thrive in harsh conditions, such as on glaciers and in permanent snow. It supplies similar benefits when applied topically, reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier and leaving the skin to appear fresher and younger.
STEP 4: NOURISH
BRING ON THE MOISTURE!
To finish off your daily routine and really make your skin glow ensure you add our CellProof Moisturiser into the mix. It melts into your skin to visibly enhance firmness and even the skin tone by locking in the moisture and creating a barrier to the elements.

Cacao seed butter (Theobroma cacao)
This is the fat obtained from the roasted Theobroma cacao seeds. Cacao butter supplies a protective layer for the skin by forming a barrier on the surface which slows down the loss of water.
Haematococcus Pluvialis
A type of algae rich in antioxidant, astaxanthin. Astaxanthin helps reduce oxidative stress that can be caused by pollutants and environmental toxins.
Let’s sum it all up for you:
| Cleanse | Balance | Boost | Nourish | |
| Daily | Double Cleanser | Hydrating Activator | Serum | CellProof Moisturiser |
| Weekly | Exfoliate | CellProof Infusion Mask |
The microbiome of our skin can be influenced by the products we use? True or false?
….True! Many bacteria live in harmony with our skin cells.
