TBD METHOD OF APPLICATION
The TBD Method isn’t just another way to apply skincare; it's designed to help you get the most from each product while protecting your skin's delicate balance. Designed specifically to enhance absorption without causing irritation, the TBD Method is tailored to work harmoniously with your skin's natural processes, optimizing the effectiveness of each layer. This technique prioritizes gentle, calculated application—one that reduces friction, minimizes sensitization, and avoids the pitfalls of over-layering, a common issue in traditional skincare routines. Think of it as your skincare ritual, refined. It’s the ultimate tool for achieving radiant, resilient skin without compromise—because at The Beauty Doctrine, skincare is more than a routine; it’s an intentional journey toward true, functional beauty.
TBD METHOD OF APPLICATION
I devised theTBD Method of Applicationwhich focuses on the right order of product application as well as the use of serums for maximum potency and absorption.
1️⃣CLEANSE: [AM] Use a Cream Cleanser to refresh your skin without stripping it’s natural moisture. [PM] Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser first to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities, followed by a cream cleanser to remove oil residue and cleanse the skin.
2️⃣MIST: Balance your skin’s PH, providing essential minerals & water to activate your humectants (from serums).
3️⃣ACTIVATE: Water-Based Serum that contains a humectant & other actives to plump and deeply hydrate your skin.
4️⃣TREAT: Oil-Based Serum with vitamin c to brighten, lock in moisture and strengthen the lipid barrier.
5️⃣PROTECT: [AM] Finish with a Tinted Mineral Zinc Sunscreen or Occlusive Cream [PM]. This helps protect your skin from environmental stressors during the day, and seal in all the goodness at night with a barrier-strengthening occlusive cream.
6️⃣RENEW: once or twice a week, use an AHA-based mask or overnight serum to exfoliate the skin revealing a smoother and more even complexion.Want specific products recommendations, suitable for your skin (or hair) concern? Check out our free guides
