SKIN AT WORK was created with the intent of giving your skin everything it needs to thrive. We want you to walk out the door every day feeling that main character energy, confident and ready to take on the world. When it comes to application, SKIN AT WORK is different!
These super stacked serums and creams are likely the most packed and efficacious formulas you may have ever used. So to get the best results, you will need to apply them differently than you have before. But, the rewards of doing so will be so sweet! Learning how to use your serum and moisturizing cream properly will help you maximize the results and help you get that head turning glow we all desire.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
1. TAP: It all starts by getting a small amount of product on your finger. Instead of dipping your finger into the jar and scooping up a large amount, gently tap your finger down into the product. This technique helps ensure you don’t use too much.
2. WARM: Next, you’ll softly rub the product between your ring fingers. This action helps to slightly warm it up so it can glide effortlessly across your skin during application.
3. DOT: Now dot the product around your face for max coverage. Don’t forget the area around your eyes. Our products are clinically tested for use as an eye cream, so you can apply them all around the orbital bone. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH EYES.
4. MELT: Gently melt the product into your skin using light circular motions. Using circular motions will help ensure maximum coverage. If desired, repeat each of these steps on your neck. Prepare for the head turning wow.
That’s it! In 2 minutes or less, you have applied an entire anti-aging skincare routine in one go. And unlike those “cake layer” routines, our small but mighty steps put all of the ingredient goodness right on the skin for maximum effect. Don’t forget your sunscreen if you will be outside!
THOMAS TIP: Applying SKIN AT WORK is not a contact sport! Be gentle. Too often, we see young people, in particular, applying their skincare with harsh force. Eventually, all of that pulling and tugging will impact the elasticity of your skin and trust us, it won’t be bouncy and resilient forever.
Tips for Oily Skin Types or Prone to Mild Breakouts
Despite their luxurious, dense textures, SKIN AT WORK is used easily by oily and congestion prone skin types. The beauty of these concentrated formulas is that they can be slightly diluted without losing any of their effectiveness. That’s how gently potent they are! Simply mix a few drops of water into the application to make a beautiful veil of product.
Then over time, you can experiment with the thickness of your application. Both formulas have plenty of skin supportive ingredients to create a healthy environment around your pores that discourages occasional future breakouts.
Tips for Applying On Your Neck
The neck is one of the first parts of your appearance to show signs of aging. Why? Because it is at the bottom of your face. It’s just like how the drapes on a window will pool at the floor. As gravity pulls your skin down over time, the neck begins to show laxity before other parts of our face. So, make sure to remember to give it as much TLC as everything else.
THOMAS TIP: Make sure to apply SKIN AT WORK to the back of your neck in addition to the front of your neck! Your skin is one complete organ; it’s all connected. But, we often apply skincare only to the skin we can see in the mirror. We call it the “fitted sheet principle.” When you are changing the sheets on your bed and you have a wrinkle in the center of the sheet, you don’t fuss with that wrinkle to make it go away, you pull the corners of the sheet. The same is true for your neck! By firming the skin on the back of the neck (in addition to the front of the neck), you will get a smoother looking result all the way around! Here is a quick video from our founder -“it’s all about the neck, kid!”
Tips for Applying As An Eye Cream
We know it sounds provocative, but we here at SKIN AT WORK just don’t believe in the incremental value of eye creams. First of all, eye creams are usually applied last in the routine, so how much of those ingredients are really being properly absorbed by the skin? Chances are not a lot. If your serums and creams are as packed as ours, you shouldn’t need that step. Over here at SKIN AT WORK, we are also too lazy to apply an eye cream which is why we have a graveyard of eye creams in our bathroom drawers.
And here is the truth, eye creams are not big sellers in the skincare industry.😆 Typically, they are less than 4% of any skincare business, so consumers instinctively know that the proposition of a standalone eye cream is not that compelling and in our opinion a waste of money.
SKIN AT WORK pledges you this: we will NEVER ask you to buy an eye cream. Not now, not ever. So, we clinically tested both of our formulas for use around the eye to combat fine lines, wrinkles, crepe-y texture, laxity and puffiness.

FAQ:
How do I tell if It’s working?
As you continue to use the products, there are different ways you can track your results. We highly recommend taking photos to document the process and create your own before and after shots.
Having pictures will help you visually see the improvements and gain a clear understanding of how the products are benefiting you. As you note any changes in the texture, level of hydration, and tone you will be able to track differences.
Watch how we compared users skin before and after use here.
When should I use them?
Use THE PROTAGONIST once in the morning after cleansing and if you are going outside, don’t forget to apply a sunscreen. Apply THE TIME KEEPER in the evening after you cleanse your face.
What step do I use them in my skincare routine?
These products were made to meet the same needs as a multi product, lengthy skincare routine. After you use a cleanser to wash your face, gently apply THE PROTAGONIST or THE TIMEKEEPER (depending on time of day). The hydrating ingredients included in their formulas help to plump and nourish your skin to give it that glowing, youthful look.
Can I use my Vitamin C product with SKIN AT WORK?
While we designed both formulas to give you EVERYTHING your skin needs, we often get this question about Vitamin C. If you just gotta have it, LOL, then we would recommend adding one, just one drop, into your application of THE PROTAGONIST in the morning.
Can I use my Retinol product with SKIN AT WORK?
As you probably know, we don’t love the harsh aspects of Retinol on your skin, so we recommend that you try SKIN AT WORK without any retinol or retinoic products. We cannot tell you how many people have given up their Retinol when they see the healthy, smooth, plump glow that our super stacked formulas deliver. Great skincare shouldn’t need to tear your skin down to build it up.
We’re Here for You
Listen, we know life is hectic. Just remember that your skincare routine should complement your busy schedule, not complicate it. That’s why we created THE PROTAGONIST and THE TIMEKEEPER-to provide you with products designed to deliver maximum results with just 2 minutes a day.
