Alexis Oakley’s All-Biossance Skincare Routine
Celebrity makeup artist and beauty influencer Alexis Oakley knows that every flawless makeup look begins with skincare. A basic routine that cleanses, moisturizes, and primes skin creates a smooth surface that grips onto makeup for all-day wear.
Follow Alexis Oakley’s three step skincare routine to create the perfect canvas for your favorite makeup look.
Step 1: Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser
Applying makeup without cleansing can trap excess sebum and impurities in pores. Not only can this make your color look blotchy and uneven, it can also contribute to breakouts. At the same time, using a harsh cleanser can strip the skin’s moisture barrier, causing fine lines and flakiness. This is why it’s crucial to start with a gentle – yet effective – cleanser.
The Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser is fantastic because it removes makeup without drying the skin, clogging pores, or irritating the skin,” says Alexis. “It calms and soothes the skin while hydrating for a healthy glow.”
Our bestselling cleanser transforms from gel to foam on damp skin to powerfully deep clean pores using our amino acid complex. Meanwhile aloe soothes and sugarcane squalane hydrates for clean, calm, smooth skin.

Step 2: Marine Algae Eye Cream
The skin around your eyes is different from the rest of your face. It’s thinner and more delicate which means it needs a little more tlc to prevent dehydration.
“I love the Marine Algae Eye Cream because it deeply hydrates the under eyes while giving the appearance of fewer fine lines and wrinkles,” says Alexis. “I love using this to prep the under-eye before makeup for a smooth application. This helps prevent the makeup from looking cakey or dry throughout the day.”
Our multi-award-winning eye cream instantly lifts with paracress extract while pink marine algae visibly improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles and provides subtle color correction to brighten undereyes. Meanwhile sugarcane squalane deeply nourishes skin and promotes a smooth, even makeup application.

Step 3: Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen
The final step in any makeup prep routine is to prime skin with moisture and protect from damaging UV rays. Not only can sun exposure cause skin cancer, it can also dehydrate skin, causing its texture to appear uneven. Our new Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen moisturizes, primes, and protects in a single step for healthy, radiant skin and a lasting makeup application.
“Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is genuinely such a holy grail and innovative product,” says Alexis. “If not only provides SPF 30 but it acts as a moisturizer and primer. I can rely on this to prevent makeup from pilling while protecting the skin and giving a dewy finish.”
Our broad spectrum SPF 30 powerfully protects using reef safe zinc oxide that melts into skin, leaving no white cast. It also contains our superhero hydrator sugarcane squalane to deeply nourish and provide lasting moisture while gripping makeup for increased wear. Your skin is left smooth, luminous, nourished, and ready for makeup.
