How To Plan An Effective Skincare Routine From Start To Finish

How To Plan An Effective Skincare Routine From Start To Finish

Experts say that applying your skin products in the proper order ensures that your skin gets the full benefits of each of the products you apply. A good rule of thumb is to go in order of the products’ textures, from thinnest to thickest consistency, from liquid to cream. This is because those with thin and light consistencies won’t be able to penetrate through the thicker ones, and so, won’t be absorbed effectively into the skin.

When it comes to taking care of our skin, we don’t hesitate to splurge on skincare products such as lotions, serums and other potions to get gorgeously healthy skin. But most of the time, what we eat and consume weighs just as heavy as the skincare products we use to guarantee effective skincare. Our body is a temple and you should treat it that way. If you want to have smooth, clear and healthy-looking skin, you should take into consideration what you eat or drink as well!

As we age, our skin becomes less elastic, which means that your skin can be prone to sagging and looseness in some areas. Sagging cheeks and the dreaded double chin are prime examples of poor skin elasticity.

Moisture is the bedrock of healthy, glowing skin. But with factors such as stress or the changing seasons wreaking havoc on our skin, having an effective skincare routine might not be enough.

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!
