Skincare Essentials Guide From the Portofino Spa
Whether you're spending your days basking in the sun at our Pensacola Beach resort or simply seeking to refresh your daily routine, healthy, glowing skin starts with the right care. The Portofino Spa features premium spa services, and the Spa Shoppe offers some of the best luxury skincare products and brands.
Here’s our insider guide to skincare essentials you can bring home from the spa and incorporate into your daily routine!
Top 5 Luxury Skincare Essentials
1. Cleanse Gently, But Thoroughly
One of the most important skincare essentials is cleansing your skin to prevent clogged pores. However, if you have dry skin, you could skip the morning cleanse and just cleanse at night. We recommend a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier. You can find your ideal cleanser at the Portofino Spa Shoppe which offers some of the best luxury skincare brands and products.
2. Hydrate & Moisturize, Always
The salty sea breeze might be good for the soul, but it can leave the skin feeling dehydrated. Hydrating and moisturizing are among the top skincare essentials. Hydrate your skin by drinking water and using skincare with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Moisturizing your skin means helping your skin barrier keep moisture locked into your skin. It’s best to use a hydrating serum and then top it off with a moisturizer using ingredients such as ceramides and shea butter.
3. Protect Your Skin With SPF
Sunscreen is non-negotiable—especially in the Florida sun. Choose a broad-spectrum rated at least SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours. You might want to reapply even more than that while enjoying the fun array of water sports at our Pensacola Beach resort. If you have sensitive skin, mineral sunscreens are a great choice. However, chemical sunscreens tend to sit more elegantly on your skin.
4. Exfoliate (But Don’t Overdo It)
Exfoliation keeps your skin smooth and glowing, but moderation is key. Use a gentle exfoliator 2-3 times per week to shed off dead skin cells from your face and boost radiance. Enzyme-based exfoliants are perfect for sensitive skin and offer a more refined, spa-like treatment at home.
5. Add a Boost With Targeted Treatments
Whether you're dealing with sunspots, fine lines, or uneven texture, targeted serums, and masks can address specific concerns. Vitamin C serums brighten and fight free radical damage, while peptides and retinol support collagen production. Ask about our custom facial treatments and luxury skincare products during your visit to the Portofino Spa. They’re designed to target your skin’s unique needs with professional-grade results.
