3 Most Basic Skincare Steps
Cleansing
Facial cleansing is recommended twice a day, in the morning and at night. In the morning we will remove, in addition to possible remains of the cosmetics that we have applied at night, the waste from the natural regeneration of the skin. At night we will clean the impurities, the pollution, the remains of cosmetics and/or makeup, etc.
The cleansing product must be adapted to the needs of your skin. Cleaning oily skin, which will produce an excess of sebum, is not the same as cleaning dry skin, which, on the contrary, is deficient in lipids. But in any case, the cleanser used must be specific for the face, respectful of the skin and modify the pH as little as possible.
After cleansing, apply a toner. It will help restore the skin’s pH to its proper levels, preparing the skin for the next steps.
Moisturising
Moisturizing and/or treating cosmetics must be adapted to the specific needs of your skin. As we were talking about cleaning, oily skin is not the same as normal or dry skin. And healthy skin is not the same as another that has some pathology, such as acne, rosacea, dermatitis, etc.
The order of application of the products is also important if we use more than one. If the specific product does not indicate otherwise, we will first apply the product with the lightest texture (ampoule, serum, etc.) as it will be absorbed quickly, leaving the skin ready to apply the next one.
Remember that the most sensitive areas, such as the eye contour and lips, need care with specific products. However, they are areas where we often forget to apply contour and lip balm.
Sun protection
To finish the daily care routine, we must not forget to apply a product with sun protection. It is an essential step for the health and well-being of the skin since the sun affects us every day and not only when we go to the beach or the pool.
It is true that at the body level the skin is less exposed in winter, but the skin of the face is exposed to the action of solar radiation all year round and that is why it is so important to protect it. For this reason, it is important to have a medium sun protection face cream(SPF20)and to high protection face cream (SPF50+)for the months of high sun intensity.
By following these routines, you will ensure that your skin is cared for, healthy and strong, and capable of adequately defending itself and preventing the onset of diseases. You know, take care of your skin so she can take care of you!
