Summer is right around the corner and that means it’s time to ditch the foundation and let your natural beauty shine through. Makeup plus heat is not an ideal combo. If you want to embrace the ‘clean girl’ look but, your skin is holding you back from being foundation-free, this challenge might be just what you need to jumpstart your cell turnover and up your skincare game. Whether it’s acne, wrinkles, or discolouration troubling, this challenge will help you feel more radiant in just 10 days.

This treatment involves the use of ZO Radical Night Repair, a 1% retinol. This can be quite intense but sometimes drastic measures must be taken! The transformation makes the process worth it. Although it is a ‘5-day challenge’ your skin won’t be fully healed until day 10, so keep that in mind. Typically days 4-6 the skin will be uncomfortably tight, dry and red. This is normal and you can use a ZO Hydrator throughout the day to ease any discomfort you may experience. By day 10 your skin will have increased collagen production, reduced hyperpigmentation, reduced sebum and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Steps in the At-Home Skin Treatment Challenge

Below we have the steps in order for the challenge. Save these images to your phone so you can easily find them.

Optional Step To Help With Red Skin

We have Vivier Redness Solution Complex added as an optional step. If on day 9 you are still quite red and need a way to reduce this quickly you may want to give it a try.

Start the Challenge with Zo Radical Night Repair

Radical Night Repair comes in a generous portion. You could easily have enough product to do this challenge multiple times throughout the year. Another option would be to include this retinol in your regular regime. Start by using it once a week (night only) and slowly increase the number of nights you use it as your skin adjusts.
