There is no need to emphasise the importance of skincare – neglected skin speaks for itself. If your skincare routine does not give the best results, there are ways to improve it. Check out the list and see what changes you can make in order to get the skin that you deserve.
Know Your Skin
If you use cosmetic products that someone else recommended and you see poor results, it is time to change your game. Maybe some products work magic for your friend, but that doesn’t mean they will suit you.
Get to know your skin. See if it is oily, dry, combination, or sensitive. Then research which ingredients in skincare products are suitable for certain types. If you are finding it hard to understand that, pay a visit to a dermatologist or an aesthetician. They will know what your skin needs and recommend appropriate skincare.
Find Your Favourite Skincare Products
Once you get to know your skin, it is time to find skincare products that will become a part of your routine. For example, if you have oily skin you will go for mattifying products. However, not the first one you choose will be the best one. You will probably need to try out different products, for some period of time until you find the right one.
Skincare does not have to be expensive. You can choose between pricey, luxurious products and those affordable ones and see which works best for you. There are great affordable brands that basically do the same thing as the expensive ones, but your skin will show what works best for you.
Appropriate Specific Skincare Products
When we say specific, we mean those skincare products that are used in certain situations, such as after a specific treatment. For example, if you are a permanent makeup lover, or you decide to do some of the popular treatments such as eyebrow tattoo or microblading, it requires a certain aftercare routine.
You may need to stay away from the products you normally use if they contain retinol or other ingredients that should be avoided during the aftercare.
Consistency is The Key
It is important to be consistent with your skincare. Cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize every day if you want to see the results. Prepare your face properly for a busy day by applying serum and cream that will protect the skin from dust and dirt. In the evening, don’t forget to remove all the traces of makeup and let your skin breathe.
Apply a moisturizer before bed to wake up with ‘glowy’, hydrated skin. If it is dry, it will get a dull look, and you can look tired. Only healthy skin looks good and the months of negligence can’t be solved by covering it with makeup. It will just make it look worse.
Protect it From the Sun
Is the Sun our friend or our enemy? It gives us vitamin D, but overexposure to the sun is definitely not healthy. Especially if the skin is not protected. If you use sunscreen only when you go to the beach, you are doing it wrong.
Doctors advise using sun protection whenever you go out at any season, and especially in the summer. It will prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles, textural imperfections, and changes in the appearance of pores over time.
Pamper Yourself with Face Masks
There are a lot of face masks to choose from. Pick one from your favourite brand and give yourself an at-home spa occasionally. It will be beneficial for your skin and your mind. Take a bubble bath, exfoliate your skin and then play your favourite movie with a face mask on. Relax and enjoy. Give your skin additional hydration, especially when you feel it needs it.
Stay Healthy
Even though it doesn’t sound like a part of your skincare routine, this is one of the most important things that will affect skin texture, smoothness and health. A balanced and healthy diet is crucial. That is the way to feed your skin from the inside. You cannot expect glowy, dewy skin if you are feeding your body junk food. So a healthy diet is key.
Add physical exercise to that and expect even better results. Work out will sweat out all the toxins from your body and that is why it will make your skin healthier.
Conclusion
Consistency, a healthy lifestyle, and appropriate skincare products are the recipes for perfect skin. So, find a skincare routine that works and stick to it. No excuse. If you have a busy lifestyle, learn how to simplify the routine, but don’t skip it.
