A Routine Even Simone Biles Would Love

When you think of Simone Biles, you think of strength, grace, and a commitment to excellence. This incredible gymnast has shown us the heights of human potential, both in her athletic feats and her self-care practices.

If you’re looking to achieve radiant, healthy skin while balancing a busy lifestyle like Simone, here are some simple skincare tips that will help you achieve a routine tailored just for you!

Morning Routine: Energize and Protect

1. Gentle Cleanser Start your day with a gentle, hydrating cleanser like the Rose Foaming Cream Cleanser to remove overnight impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. We love how creamy and affordable this cleanser is without any parabens, sulfates or fragrances!

2. Antioxidant Serum Apply a vitamin C serum to brighten your complexion and protect your skin from environmental damage. This powerful antioxidant helps reduce inflammation and promotes collagen production. Keep Leah Lani’s Brightening Siren Serum on hand to keep your skin glowing all year round. This light but not greasy oil based elixir contains vitamins A + C to help promote a healthy complexion.

3. Hydrating Moisturizer Keep your skin plump and hydrated with a lightweight moisturizer. Sodium Hyaluronate is a star ingredient that attracts and retains moisture, ensuring your skin stays supple throughout the day. We love the Oil Free Mositurizer from Glo Skin Beauty, especially for those active and on the go like Simone. This is your go to if you’re prone to breakouts too!

4. Broad-Spectrum SPF No matter the weather, sunscreen is a non-negotiable step. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. This will prevent premature aging and protect against harmful UV rays. If you love a good tinted SPF, Intelligent Elixirs makes a wonderful SPF 30 that hydrates and gives you stellar coverage. We also love the Glo Skin Beauty C Shield Moisture Tint if skincare and makeup all in one is more your jive. Simone would wear a shade 8N if you’re looking for something similar!

Post-Workout Routine: Refresh and Replenish

Simone’s intense training sessions mean her skin needs extra care post-workout.

1. Cleansing Balm If you’re on the go, use gentle cleansing balm to quickly remove sweat and grime. Opt for alcohol-free options to avoid irritation. The Hydropeptide MakeUp Melt is phenomenal to keep in your gym bag or purse to melt everything from sunscreen to makeup.

2. Toner A soothing toner with ingredients like chamomile or rose water can help balance your skin’s pH and calm redness. This step prepares your skin to absorb subsequent treatments better. Leah Lani’s Balancing Toner contains the most gentle and hydrating formulas for even the most sensitive skin types. Plus, we love the rose quartz gemstone at the bottom to provide you with balance and harmony. Just what Simone would need! 😉

3. Replenishing Serum After a workout, your skin craves hydration and nourishment. A serum containing peptides or B vitamins can help repair and strengthen your skin barrier. Image Clear Cell Restoring Serum has vitamins B6 to help balancing and protect the skin, while also improving textural concerns. Use this immediately after your toner and follow with your favorite moisturizer!

Evening Routine: Repair and Restore

1. Double Cleanse Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. This ensures a thorough cleanse without stripping your skin. Pamplemousse Tropical Cleansing Oil is our ~ glow to gal ~ for kicking off any evening routine. She’s lightweight and provides a sacred tropical getaway vibe from the first pump. We can’t wait for you to try her!

2. Exfoliate (2-3 times a week) Incorporate a gentle exfoliant, such as a lactic acid or enzyme-based product, to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This step helps maintain a smooth and glowing complexion. If you love a good mask, be sure to add in the Sanitas Papaya and Pineapple Mask for a gentle enzymatic exfoliation night. Simone Biles would use this on the nights she isn’t prepping for a routine the next day! After all,

both our skin and body need rest and recovery nights.

3. Retinol A retinol serum can be a game-changer for your skin. This powerhouse ingredient helps to reduce fine lines, boost collagen production, and improve skin texture. Start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance. Intelligent Elixirs Botanical A Night Serum is a wonderful serum that is also bakuchiol based, and a great introductory strength for those who have never tried or have a hard time tolerating prescription strengths.

4. Night Cream Lock in moisture with a nourishing night cream rich in ceramides and peptides. This will support your skin’s natural repair process while you sleep. I’ve personally never tried a more luxiourous night cream thanHydropeptide Power Lift. You get a lot of bang for the buck – and a little goes a long way. The pineapple ceramide blend and shea butter combination ensures a night full of beauty sleep benefits. Just as Simone Biles would need to be looking and feeling her best!

• Balanced Diet: Incorporate skin-friendly foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids into your diet to nourish your skin.
