Your Gentle Renewal Exfoliating Pads Ritual (2 Minutes, 2–3 Evenings Per Week)
Exfoliation is one of the most powerful , and most over-done , steps in any skincare routine. These pads are calibrated specifically for perimenopausal skin: effective enough to create real cell turnover, gentle enough not to compromise a barrier that's already under hormonal stress.
-
Step 1 , Cleanse First, Always: Exfoliating over makeup, SPF, or environmental buildup dilutes the active ingredients and can push debris into freshly opened pores. Always cleanse first, then let your skin dry completely before using the pads.
-
Step 2 , Sweep Outward in One Direction: Using the textured side, sweep the pad outward across your skin in slow, deliberate strokes , cheeks, forehead, chin, and neck. Work outward from the center of your face. Do not scrub back and forth; a single outward swipe per section is all it takes.
-
Step 3 , Avoid Sensitive Zones: Do not use on the immediate eye area, lips, or any active breakout, wound, or area of active irritation. The neck and décolletage can be included , they benefit enormously from exfoliation , but use lighter pressure there.
-
Step 4 , Let the Actives Work (No Rinse Needed): Leave the residue on your skin. No rinsing. The active ingredients left on the surface continue working as they dry. Wait 60 seconds before applying your next product.
-
Step 5 , Mist to Calm, Then Treat: After the pad, apply Serenity Cooling Mist to soothe any sensitivity and restore the skin's equilibrium before layering your night cream or serum. This step is especially important for reactive or sensitized skin.
-
Step 6 , SPF is Non-Negotiable the Next Morning: Exfoliation removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving fresh new cells exposed and significantly more sensitive to UV damage. The morning after every exfoliation session, sunscreen is not optional. Apply SPF 30+ before leaving the house, every time.
Pro tip from Cathi: Two to three times a week is the sweet spot for most perimenopausal skin , more than that and you're removing the barrier faster than your skin can rebuild it. I always tell my clients: if your skin feels tight or looks red the next morning, you went too often, not too hard. Scale back to twice a week and give your barrier time to catch up.
Complete the routine Cathi recommends for perimenopausal skin:
-
Pre-Exfoliation Cleanser , Oasis Oil Cleansing Balm, $38 , "You must start with completely clean skin , the actives in these pads need direct access to your skin, not a layer of SPF or makeup to get through first."
-
Post-Exfoliation Calm , Serenity Cooling Mist, $40 , "After exfoliation, skin is temporarily more reactive. A mist immediately after brings it back to baseline so your next product absorbs without irritation."
-
Morning Brightener , Flawless Brightening Moisturizer, $68 , "Exfoliation clears the dead cell layer; brightening actives then have direct access to living skin. This combination is how you actually move the needle on hormonal dark spots."
-
Evening Treatment , Dream Skin Night Cream, $68 , "Exfoliate 2–3 nights a week, then follow with the night cream. You've just optimized absorption , your skin will take in every beneficial ingredient more effectively."
