Beautycounter Countermatch with Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask: PM Routine

If you follow me on Social (FB/Insta), you have likely already heard me raving about the new Beautycounter Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask. Many of you have tried it, love it, and have asked me, “Where does this fit into my Countermatch Routine?”

It’s an excellent question, and, as always, I have the answer! If you do your mask in the evening, see below for your Beautycounter Countermatch with Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask: PM Routine!

1. Cleanse

How to use: Work a dime-size amount of cleanser into the palm of your hand. Then, massage onto damp face and neck for 1 minute. Rinse.

2. Prep

How to use: Dispense two pumps onto a cotton pad or, better, a bamboo reusable pad hold pad next to the dispenser. Swipe over clean, dry face. Use daily after cleansing, morning and night.

*Let Toner dry thoroughly.

3. Treat

3(a)

How to use: Gently, but quickly, spread a small dollop over clean, dry skin.
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Do not leave on longer than 10 minutes.
Wet hands and gently, without rubbing, remove the mask by continuing to rinse with water and lightly going over your face with your fingers in a circular motion.

Important: Please choose 2 mornings/evenings per week and use consistently. For example, I use my Reflect Effect Mask on Tuesdays/Thursdays and my Overnight Resurfacing Peel on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.  

*Do not use your Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask on the same night as the Overnight Resurfacing Peel.

3(b)

After your mask is removed, you will reapply your toner.

How to use: Dispense two pumps onto a cotton pad or, better, a bamboo reusable pad hold pad next to the dispenser. Swipe over clean, dry face. Use daily after cleansing, morning and night.

3(c)

How to use: Dispense one pump into hands, then massage into face, neck, and décolletage with upward strokes. Use daily after cleansing and toning, morning and night. 

Pro Tip: Brush your teeth with a non-toxic toothpaste while the serum soaks into your skin. I also floss after I put on my 2nd treat step to give it a minute to soak in before my moisturizer

4. Protect

4(a)

How to use:  Lightly pat one small dot around the eye area using your ring finger until fully absorbed. Use daily, morning and night.

PM

How to use:  Push the side button to release a dime size amount, then gently massage into face, neck, and décolletage with upward strokes.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask. If you have any Before/After results to share, I love to see those too!
