What to Keep In Your Purse: Skincare Edition

Good skincare is essential, and although many people focus on carefully caring for their skin in the morning and before bed, what is to be done during the day? Even the best skincare products on the market may not "last" throughout the day. There are several factors that influence how long a product remains effective. Elements of your day, such as going to the gym, sweating, sun exposure, make-up reapplication, touching your face, and more, impact your skincare. While keeping all of your skincare essentials with you throughout the day is likely not a feasible option, there are a few skincare essentials you should always keep in your purse.

Summer Skin Challenges

Daily exposure to the elements during the sunny months of summer can leave your skin feeling dry, dull, and itchy. Depending on how much time you spend in the sun, you may notice that fine lines and discoloration seem more visible. To protect itself from the effects of the sun and other elements unique to the summer months, your skin increases the number of cells on the surface, which can increase the number of dead cells, contributing to the overall look of dull, unhealthy skin. What can you do to strike a balance between enjoying the outdoors in warmer weather and keeping your skin protected, healthy and clear?

The 3 Essential Products You Need To Have In Your Skincare Routine

, ,

Sometimes, it’s all about going back to the basics.

With an innumerable amount of skincare products out on the market today, it sure is fun to try and experiment, especially if you’re searching for the perfect skincare routine. With new product innovations, trends and superstar ingredients coming out year after year (like the trending 10-step Korean skincare beauty routine), the available options can leave you a little bit overwhelmed.

So what is it that the skin really needs? Do we have to subscribe to every skincare product type that’s being touted as the next big miracle in the industry? Do we really need to have 10 types of skincare products on our bathroom vanity to have the ideal skin?

Of course not! While it doesn’t hurt to have a ton of different skincare product types that help target different areas of concern for your skin, professionals have trimmed the list down to the basics. For your skin to be healthy and well-maintained, here are the 4 essential products you really should have for an effective skincare routine:

 

1. Cleanser

Start off your skincare routine with a gentle cleanser that’s suited to your skin type. Whether you’re the type to wear makeup daily or you like to keep your face bare for a more natural look, cleansing your face is an essential step you shouldn’t skip.

2. Moisturizer

Hydration is important if you want to prevent skin issues. Dry and itchy skin, dermatitis, acne, inflammation and skin irritations can actually be avoided by religiously applying moisturizer right after the cleansing step. It will help your skin look soft and supple, prevents the formation of fine lines and wrinkles and helps improve your skin’s texture and appearance. It’s important to note that your moisturizer should be suited to your particular skin type.

3. Sunscreen

Arguably the most essential part of any skincare routine, a high protection sunscreen (SPF 30 or above) is a non-negotiable item. It’s the single most effective way to prevent the dreaded skin cancer or to have prematurely aged skin, age spots or leathery-looking skin!

 Your skin is all set with just these 3 essential products, but you can always supplement with more as you see fit. Serums, exfoliators, anti-aging creams, facial masks or acne spot treatments, the list can get quite big! In the end, going right back down to the absolute bare-bones essentials makes your skin healthy with a lot less effort, time and money!
