The key to beautiful, healthy-looking skin? Maintaining a proper skincare regimen.
Our skin is constantly exposed to dirt, bacteria and other pollutants. Therefore, it’s extremely important to cleanse your skin twice daily—morning & night—regardless of whether or not you wearing makeup.
“What can I do to help my skin look and feel better?”
This is one of the most frequent questions I get asked by my clients. The key to beautiful, healthy-looking skin—whether or not you wear makeup—is maintaining a consistent, daily skincare regimen.
Creating a proper skincare regimen will vary from person-to-person. Each of us has different skintones, skin-types (i.e. dry, normal, combination, oily), as well as other factors that affects our skin’s health. Therefore, it’s very important to personalize a skincare routine based around your specific skin needs and concerns.
It's important to keep in mind that skincare isn’t magic—once you begin and maintain a proper skincare regimen, you must give your skin at least two weeks to notice any sort of improvement.
3 Basic Steps to a Proper Skincare Regimen
Cleansing:
helps manage PH levels of the skin, allowing for sufficient water and product retention
used to remove oil, dirt, dead skin cells, makeup and other types of pollutants from the skin
helps to unclog pores and prevent skin conditions, such as acne
Toning:
removes excess oil, stubborn dirt and/or leftover makeup
preps the skin for serum and/or moisturizer
extremely helpful and necessary for people with oily or acne-prone skin
helps give the appearance of smaller pores
restores the skin’s pH balance
helps close pores and tighten cell gaps after cleansing, which can help reduce impurities and environmental contaminants from penetrating into the skin
many toners contain humectants, which help bind moisture to the skin
Moisturizing
hydrates the skin
helps improve skin tone & texture
acts as a temporary barrier for your skin, protecting the skin from harmful environmental factors, such as pollutants
depending on the formula, moisturizers can also provide other benefits, such as: SPF/UV protection, anti-aging benefits, etc.
