k skin notes

• normal
• acne-prone
• wants pore-reduction
• open to masking
• should consider preventative anti-aging routine
• wants minimal; currently using 3-step routine and it's too much
• does not want to spend too much, but willing to splurge on a product if it is good

j skin notes

• normal
• open to masking
• should consider preventative anti-aging routine
• probably also wants minimal

thoughts

• bha will help with k's pores at nose
• ahas will help with acne (though she does not get it unless wearing makeup)
• k should have an oil-free moisturizer with spf
• k & j should consider using aha/bha peeling gel once/twice a week (or whenever they remember)
• retinoid would be great for night-time use
• should have peptides in hydrator
• should make sure cleanser + moisturizer are powerhouses so that if they only use those two things it should be ok

routine must-haves

• BHA- for pores
• AHA- for anti-aging, pores
• peptides- for hydration
• SPF
• possible routine:
  • face wash
  • toner with AHA and BHA
  • moisturizer with antioxidants, peptides + SPF
