City water is full of minerals, contaminants, and residue that cling to the skin — even after cleansing. That’s why I always finish with a final rinse using a cotton pad soaked in bottled water or AO2 Clear before I begin my skincare routine, morning and night. This quick sweep removes leftover impurities, supports the skin’s balance, and creates a clean, prepped base so your actives, serums, and moisturizers absorb more effectively. If you want to elevate your routine, AO2 Clear takes the step further — it’s distilled water infused with billions of nano-oxygen bubbles, and bacteria cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. Remember, nothing fancy is required here; any bottled water works beautifully. 🩵 #skincare #skincareroutine #skincaretips #glowingskin #clearskin #skinhealth #skincarecommunity #beautyroutine #selfcare #glowup #skincaretips #selfcare #glowup #stacichristieskin
