Polish. Refine. Glow: A Self-Care Routine for Smoother, Healthier Skin

Sometimes, all your skin needs is a little extra love to bring back that natural glow. If you have been noticing dullness, rough texture, or clogged pores, the Mary Kay Microdermabrasion Refine, Pore Minimizer, and Hydrating Gel Mask work beautifully together to renew and calm

your skin. Let’s talk about when to use them, why they make such a powerful combination, and how to get the best results.

Why Use This Trio

Our skin goes through a lot every day. Makeup, stress, pollution, and hormones can leave it looking tired or uneven.

• Microdermabrasion Refine helps remove dead surface cells and reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath.

• Pore Minimizer calms the skin and reduces the look of pores, creating a more even texture.

• Hydrating Gel Mask replenishes moisture and leaves the skin feeling soft, balanced, and refreshed.

  
  

Used together, they create a spa-like experience right at home. This routine supports both clarity and calm, helping your skin feel cared for and renewed.

When to Use

Use this combination once or twice a week depending on your skin type.

• Oily or combination skin: Up to twice weekly.

• Normal or dry skin: Once a week is perfect.

• Sensitive skin: Start slow by trying every 10 days and adjust as your skin builds tolerance.

Avoid using this trio right after shaving, waxing, or applying strong actives such as retinol or exfoliating acids.

How to Use

Cleanse - Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oils.

Exfoliate with Microdermabrasion Refine

1. Apply a small amount to damp skin.

2. Gently massage in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes using your fingertips.

3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.

Tip: Use light pressure and allow the product to do the work.

Apply Pore Minimizer

1. Use one or two pumps and smooth evenly over your face.

2. This step helps calm the skin and minimize the appearance of pores.

3. Let it absorb fully before moving to the next step.

Hydrate with the Gel Mask

Apply a generous layer over your face.

Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, or overnight for an intense moisture boost.

Rinse or gently wipe away any excess if needed.

Finish with your favorite moisturizer or serum to lock in hydration and complete your glow.

Why It Works

The Microdermabrasion Refine smooths and polishes. The Pore Minimizer soothes and refines. The Hydrating Gel Mask restores and balances. Together, they create a rhythm that helps your skin reset and breathe.

This is not just about skincare. It is a mindful habit that reminds you to slow down and care for yourself. When your skin feels soft and hydrated, you feel lighter, calmer, and more confident.

Self-Care Reminder

Self-care is not selfish. It is how you maintain your mind, body, and spirit. Take time to breathe, exfoliate, and restore. You deserve to feel refreshed inside and out.
