Suki Skincare
Suki is a line of “responsible” skincare. Their business practices are pretty impressive. They do everything from sourcing ingredients locally to ensuring their ingredients come from companies with the same ethics. Their products are made by hand, leaving virtually no carbon footprint. Packaging is recycled and recyclable glass. Even their product labels are printed using vegetable inks.
Suki’s products are pretty impressive, too. We gave the 21 Day Detox Kit a spin. This travel-sized collection includes exfoliate foaming cleanser, concentrated balancing toner, balancing day lotion, bio-resurfacing facial peel, and bio-active purifying face serum. The Detox Kit aims to return balance to your skin in the same sense that a cleanse detoxes your system. I loved how the Detox Kit left me feeling clean and soft, with skin that felt smooth – like it had been resurfaced (but not nearly as scary as that sounds). I will say that I wasn’t crazy about how many products you are supposed to put on – toner, then serum, then moisturizer. It just felt like too much. Not heavy or suffocating, but a touch sticky. I usually just use moisturizer.
While Suki’s goal is to produce products that are suitable for even the most fragile, delicate skin, everyone’s skin is different, and I found the entire system to be too much on my skin. I was pretty impressed with the results of using the system, but by day two or three of the full regiment (except for the facial peel, which I did not try), my skin was red and blotchy. Not itchy or uncomfortable – just a little red. I cut it down to once every 2-3 days, and did much better on that schedule.
My favorite product was the foaming exfoliator. It starts as a sugar scrub, then melts into a fab cleanser. Plus it smells like sugar and lemons (kind of like Fresh’s skincare line).
hi,
thank you for trying our 21 day dermal detox program & it is great to hear that the 21 day dermal detox™ kit left your skin feeling clean, smooth & resurfaced in the best possible way! however, we would like to address some of the issues you encountered since we would like you, & everyone else who might try the kit, to understand the expectations as well as benefits of the products. the detoxification program that you tested was developed to deeply cleanse your skin & eliminate toxins from synthetic filled medications or other skincare regimens. this period is important because it will bring milia to the surface & eliminate them from the skin instead of creating long term bumps that will never go away. most people do go through a temporary detox, transitional period when switching over to a 100% pure line. during this transitional period, you may experience redness, blotchiness or even breakouts as your skin rids itself of impurities, which can last a month or longer & varies depending on how long you were on a synthetic regimen. sticking with the products for the entire transitional period is totally worth it as your skin will begin clear & you will begin to see the results you desire! visit our website at http://www.sukiskincare.com/v2/pages/balancing+prescription+results to see the before & after images from our clinical trials.
the first step in the suki® regimen is cleansing. we suggest that people with sensitive thin skin use the exfoliate foaming cleanser only once or twice a week. people with normal skin can use this product up to once per day. our exfoliate foaming cleanser is incredibly versatile as its texture is customizable. before applying the cleanser, slightly dissolve the sugar crystals between dampened palms until they begin to dissolve. you can melt the sugar more or less depending on the level of exfoliation you desire. use your intuition on this one – do what feels good to you & makes you look great!
each suki® product is incredibly concentrated & a little goes a long way. our formulations deliver specific key actives to the skin every time you cleanse, tone, apply serum, moisturize & correct & each product builds upon the other to create the desired outcome. proper application is the best way to guarantee maximum absorption of the formulations. when you wrote that your skin felt sticky, it sounds to me as if you may be using slightly too much product. we really mean it when we suggest apply ONLY one or two drops of the serum while the skin is still moist from toning but before moisturizing. next, while the skin is moist from the serum apply ONLY one or two drops of the moisturizer & massage into skin until fully absorbed. your skin should be left feeling soft & well hydrated.
you also wrote that you did not use the bio-resurfacing facial peel, an integral step in the detoxification process! the renewal bio-resurfacing facial peel is especially formulated to reveal a visibly smoother, more refined complexion. this antioxidant-rich corrective peel is loaded with potent botanical actives including cranberry glycolic alpha hydroxy acid which exfoliates damaged cells & decongests pores. the botanical enzyme complex of refined pumpkin, apple & papain to help even skin tone, unclogs pores & reduce blemishes. additionally the peel contains stabilized 5% vitamin c to accelerate collagen production & 15% beta hydroxyl from white willow bark which soothes the skin. keep in mind that the peel exfoliates the skin & should not be used on days that you use the exfoliate foaming cleanser. this potent formulation is a critical element in the dermal detox kit & using it is necessary to achieve desired results.
in any case, talk to us! we are here to help you find the best product regimen for you. remember, is important to follow application instructions precisely & give the products time to effect changes. we are so appreciative that you took the time to review the suki® line! thank you for your kind words & please do not hesitate me at customerservice@sukiskincare.com should you have any questions. be sure to send us updates on the status of your skin!
thanks,
