S+P Skin Care Routine

Recommended Skin Care Routine

Morning (AM)

  1. Cleanser
    Use your gentle cleanser of choice (the S + P line doesn’t list a face cleanser so you can use whatever facial cleanser you already like).
  2. Antioxidant / Brightening Serum
    • Apply S + P Luminance Antioxidant Serum: 3-4 drops on clean, slightly damp skin, massage in. This gives you antioxidant protection and helps brighten your skin. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique
    • Because it contains L-Ascorbic Acid + other antioxidants, it’s great in the morning to protect from environmental damage.
  3. Hydrating / Peptide Serum
    • Follow with S + P Abundance Peptide Serum. Peptides are great for supporting the skin barrier and collagen, and they layer well over antioxidant serums. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique+1
  4. Moisturizer
    • Use S + P Lavish Moisturizer twice a day. It has peptides + exotic oils, provides hydration, and isn’t too heavy. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique
  5. Eye Cream
    • If you’re concerned about aging around the eyes, apply a small amount of S + P Indulgence Firming Eye Cream in AM (or PM — see below). This has retinol, but the concentration may be low enough for gentle use. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique
    • Note: Because this contains retinol, if your skin is sensitive, you might limit it to PM or alternate.
  6. Sunscreen

Reapply after swimming, excessive perspiring, or anytime after towel drying.

Evening (PM)

  1. Cleanser
    • Again, use whatever gentle cleanser you like.
  2. Optional: Antioxidant or Peptide Serum
    • If you didn’t apply the Luminance Serum in the morning, you can use it now.
    • Or use the Abundance Peptide Serum again if you want to boost protein/repair overnight.
  3. Retinol Treatment
    • Use the S + P Radiance Retinol Serum 5× (gentler): Start with 3 – 4 drops, 2–3 nights/week on clean, dry skin. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique
    • Once your skin builds tolerance, you can increase frequency.
    • Alternatively, use the 10× version (stronger) if you’ve used retinol before and don’t have sensitivity.
  4. Tips for retinol use:
    • Because retinol can irritate, consider the “sandwich method”: apply a light moisturizer before and after retinol to buffer.
    • Avoid combining it with strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) on the same night, unless cycling, since that can increase irritation.
    • Use sunscreen daily — retinol increases sun sensitivity.
  5. Moisturizer
    • On retinol nights, layer the S + P Plush Restorative Moisturizer over (or after) the retinol. This cream is rich in ceramides and peptides to help support your skin barrier. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique
  6. Eye Cream
    • Use the Indulgence Firming Eye Cream at night too, especially if you are using retinol in your routine. This helps target fine lines and supports the delicate eye area.
  7. Neck (optional)
    • If you’re concerned about neck aging, you could use the S + P Opulence Neck Cream in your PM routine. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique
    • This ensures your neck gets similar anti-aging benefits as your face.

Weekly / Additional Tips

  • For body: Use S + P Fabulous Firming Lotion on body areas (arms, legs) in the evening, especially if you’re targeting aging / texture. S+P Luxury Skincare Boutique

  • Build tolerance: If you’re new to retinol, go slow. Use it every 2nd or 3rd night, then increase as tolerated.

  • Patch test: Always patch test new active ingredients like retinol or potent peptides.

  • Hydration: If your skin feels dry or tight, add a hydrating toner or hyaluronic acid product (if you have one) before serums.

Consistency: Stick with the routine for at least 8–12 weeks to evaluate results, especially for anti-aging products.

    I recently had a facial procedure at Somemek and Pittman Clinic, and I’m extremely happy with the results! The staff was very professional and supportive, guiding me through every step and ensuring I felt comfortable. The recovery was smooth, and I love how I look now. I highly recommend Dr. Pittman for anyone considering facial procedures. Thank you for the fantastic experience.

  • Facelift Surgery

    I consulted Dr. Somenek inquiring about face tightening treatments available for the jowl area. He recommended a mini facelift under local anesthesia. I had the procedure and two weeks later I couldn’t be happier! My result is natural and restored my jawline to where it was years ago. Highly recommend Dr Somenek and his wonderful staff- they will take good care of you!

  • Facelift Surgery

    I waited a long time to have rhinoplasty done and now that I’m complete, SO glad I did. Dr Somenek and his team made me feel so comfortable in during the entire process. No pressure, always very professional, and remarkably low stress too. Now my new face looks so much more natural to me than my previous face ever did. Very pleased with this experience and I highly recommend.
