The Key to Youthful, Hydrated Skin

One of the most important aspects of skincare—especially for mature skin—is maintaining moisture. When we're younger, we’re often focused on oil control and acne, using foaming cleansers that strip the skin. But as we age, switching to gentler, moisture-retaining cleansers is essential for keeping skin supple and full.

Since launching Somic four years ago, I’ve met so many customers who love the “squeaky clean” feeling of gel or foam cleansers—only to be shocked when they learn that sensation is actually their skin being stripped of its natural moisture barrier. And when that barrier is compromised, premature aging accelerates.

At Somic, we’ve developed three essential tools to cleanse effectively while preserving this crucial moisture barrier:

✨ Phoenix Cream Cleanser – A gentle blend of oils and waxes that cleanses without stripping, leaving your skin fresh and dewy. I use this every night.

✨ Illuminate Face Scrub – Made with natural rice and coconut exfoliants to remove dead skin and impurities—without drying. I deep cleanse with this twice a week in place of my cream cleanser.

✨ Phoenix Oil Cleanser – A luxurious mix of botanical oils that cleanses while boosting hydration. Ideal for double cleansing or a nourishing morning cleanse after Pilates and sauna—just as I do daily.

A well-maintained moisture barrier is the secret to reversing signs of aging. The right cleanser makes all the difference.
