“You can use the most expensive creams and get every treatment in the book, but none of it will matter if you don’t protect your skin every day with antioxidant Vitamin C, a proper mineral SPF, and repair with Retinol at night. These are what I call my Non-Negotiables.” La Suite founder Rhea Souhleris Grous

Where do I fit the Non-Negotiables into my routine?

Adding the Non Negotiables into your existing routine is simple. In the AM, cleanse, tone, apply Vitamin C Serum, moisturize, and apply SPF. In the PM, double cleanse, tone, apply Retinol Serum, and moisturizer. Done! Learn more about the correct order to apply skincare.

How long will it take to see results?

Our clients love the way these three products make their skin look and feel from day one. With consistent daily use, you will start to see visible results in two to three weeks. In four to six weeks, your skin will appear brighter and more even-toned and feel firmer. Your pores will look more refined and breakouts minimized. Over time, you will maintain beautiful, healthy skin that gets less environmental damage because you are preventing it with antioxidant Vitamin C, shielding your skin from it with SPF, and repairing any damage you do get with Vitamin A. 

What else can I do for my skin besides the Non-Negotiables?

Nightly double cleansing is essential to a good skincare routine. Removing your cleanser with a clean wet washcloth is our favorite way to get better results from any routine. You can chat with us or book a Virtual Consultation for a one-on-one skin coaching session to create a customized AM/PM routine just for you.
