Introducing the Crystal Clear Foundations Kit
There comes a point when you look at your skin and think:
“I know I need to start… I just don’t know what to use.”
That is exactly why I created the Skin Foundations Kit.
Not complicated. Not overwhelming. Not 12 steps.
Just exactly what skin needs to stay healthy, clear and luminous.
This kit contains our best-selling professional formulas in perfectly sized 25ml tubes - ideal as your introduction to serious skincare and equally perfect as luxury travel essentials.
But this is more than a starter kit.
It’s a skin reset strategy.
Why I Put This Kit Together
After 30+ years working with skin - from acne-prone teenagers to hormonally reactive 40+ skin - one thing has never changed:
Skin thrives on intelligent simplicity.
When used after professional treatments, skin is primed. It needs:
· Thorough cleansing without stripping
· Clinical actives that address pigmentation and hydration
· Barrier support
· Daily protection
That is exactly what this kit delivers.
Step 1: Intelligent Cleansing
Cleanse without compromise
The first product ensures we are deeply cleansing the skin while protecting the barrier.
Over-stripping the skin is one of the biggest mistakes in skincare. When you strip, you trigger:
· Increased oil production
· Barrier disruption
· Sensitivity
· Dehydration
Proper cleansing prepares the skin to absorb actives - without compromising its integrity.
Step 2: Clinically Proven Brightening Complex
The clarity creator
Apply a pea-sized amount to cleansed skin.
Layering a brightening product is not optional - it’s essential.
Clients often ask me:
“Why do you always recommend a brightening formula?”
Because almost every skin suffers from some form of pigmentation imbalance.
Younger skin (especially acne-prone)
When acne becomes inflamed, it triggers inflammation. Inflammation stimulates melanocytes. This causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - the dark marks left long after breakouts clear.
30+ skin
· Sun exposure (without correct protection)
· Hormonal shifts
· Environmental stress
All contribute to uneven tone and dullness.
Mature skin
We often focus only on lifting and firming. But clarity is what makes skin look younger.
When pigmentation is even and tone is bright:
Skin looks fresher Skin looks healthier Skin looks younger instantly
Improving clarity removes that lifeless, grey cast and restores vibrancy.
Step 3: Clinically Proven Skin Repair Serum
The hydration and age-support powerhouse
Layer a pea-sized amount over the Brightening Complex.
These two formulas together are true superpowers for the skin:
· Clinically proven to improve hydration levels
· Support collagen function
· Reduce the visible signs of ageing
· Calm inflammation
The Skin Repair formula is lightweight yet intensive. It’s suitable for all skin types - even the most sensitive.
It contains anti-inflammatory agents that soothe reactive skin, making it ideal post-treatment.
This is barrier support done properly.
Step 4: Mineral SPF 40
Daily protection without compromise
This is non-negotiable.
Our mineral SPF 40 protects against both UVA and UVB.
Unlike chemical sunscreens, mineral protection:
· Sits on the surface of the skin to reflect UV rays
· Is far less likely to cause irritation
· Is ideal for sensitive and post-treatment skin
· Provides immediate protection upon application
· Does not require absorption to activate
· Supports compromised barriers
Mineral SPFs use physical UV filters such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which form a protective shield on the skin.
For skin that has been treated, sensitised or is prone to pigmentation - this is crucial.
Protection prevents:
· Pigmentation recurrence
· Premature ageing
· Collagen breakdown
· Long-term cellular damage
If you invest in actives but neglect SPF, you undo your results.
