Are you like me just getting into beauty and skincare in your 30s and 40s? Or maybe skincare isn’t new but you want to bump it up a notch. Whatever your reason taking care of your skin is important. So, why is it important?
Skincare Important?
I did a search on google and their AI gave the following reasons.
A skincare routine can help keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and protected from environmental factors like pollution, UV rays, and free radicals. This can help prevent premature aging, wrinkles, fine lines, and other skin problems. A skincare routine can also help you avoid the development of certain conditions and signs of aging, as well as reduce the severity of problems you may already be dealing with.1
I think this snags it completely. What I am about to show you I already do myself. I think it’s important to know two things. 1. Having and consistently doing a routine is what will help more than anything. 2. What works for one person will not always work for another person. So make it work for you and then genuinely work it.
Prep - Cleansing
The start of our routine is prepping. When I do this I am preparing my face for everything else I am going to do in this routine. So to start off I cleanse. Cleansing should be done twice a day. Once in the morning and evening. If I wait until right before bed it doesn’t happen. So, after dinner I get into my pajamas, do my skincare routine, brush my teeth and maybe shower along with some other things. I do what I can to get it out of the way.
First off, the evening cleansing is recommended to be done twice. The first one is with an oil based cleanser. This is especially good since this is when I have the highest levels of makeup, dirt, oil and so on that’s collected on my face. So something stronger generally is needed. Oil based cleansers are good for oily skin by the way.
I suggest the following products:
Isa Knox LXnew Clean Soothing Whipped Oil Cleanser
Isa Knox LXnew Clean 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleansing Balm
As a note they only need a small amount and you do not need to wet your face first.
A light cleanser is next as it will get up more of the oil, dirt, skin flakes and so on than with just one cleanser. Mornings only will require this cleanser type done once also.
These products may help:
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser. (It comes in 5 oz and 10 oz.)
Toning
Three purposes come from doing this. The last little leftover cleanup from makeup, it balances your skins PH, it preps your skin for the serums which come next.
Some Ideas to Consider:
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Mild Cleansing Water
Anew Hydra Fusion Cleansing Micellar Water
Daily Targeted Treatments
This will vary quite a bit more in terms of needs.
Some of many suggestions:
Anew Platinum Day Cream - Sagging Jawline
Somebody once asked the question, “Can you use too many serums?” The answer is you know you are using too many when the layers pill off of your face. Also if you use a lot of serums then you can likely skip the moisturizer step and go straight to SPF usage.
Moisturizer
This step is for your face, lips, eyes, and body. They can be broken down into smaller steps and I will do it here. SPF should follow this step and the richer, more nourishing options should be in the evening.
Eyes
Use your fourth finger to apply it because the skin is so delicate.
Lips
Veilment Care Lip Balm - Cherry
Whole Body
Moisture Therapy +Balance and Soothe Body Lotion
Okay so there you have it. This is the routine that I personally follow. Do you have a skincare daily routine? What does yours look like? This article only covers the daily stuff. I does not cover the other areas. Thanks for reading. Please comment below or subscribe.
