Demystifying Skincare: Your Go-To Guide
Navigating the world of skincare can feel like stepping into a maze of options. I've heard your cries of confusion: "What do these products even do?" Well, let's break it down in this post!
Cleansers: Think clean slate for your skin! Cleansers wash away makeup, dirt, and impurities while naturally balancing your skin's pH.
In the realm of cleansers, it's a jungle out there. Tailored options exist for different skin types and concerns. Oily and dry skin? They deserve their own cleansing heroes.
Frequency: AM & PM - Let's get that glow around the clock!
Toners: Meet the hydration station. Spritz on a toner post-cleansing to balance your skin's pH. Lightweight and refreshing, these toners are like a sip of water for your face.
Frequency: AM & PM after cleansing, before moisturizers and serums. Optional: give your face a midday pick-me-up by adding a toner spray to your daily routine.
Exfoliators: Time to bid adieu to dullness! Exfoliators scrub away dead skin cells for a fresh and smooth complexion. Some use enzymes to digest those pesky cells, while others manually stimulate renewal.
Frequency: 2-3x weekly for radiant skin. AM or PM, your call!
Masques: Mask on, stress off! These quick-fix wonders hydrate, detoxify, and boost your skin's radiance. A mini spa session at home.
Frequency: 2x weekly, AM or PM. Or target spots overnight for a focused effort.
Serums: Serums are like superhero elixirs, delivering potent ingredients deep into your skin. They tackle issues from hydration to brightening to fine lines.
Remember: Smaller molecules mean deeper penetration. Professional products are your passport to this magic!
Moisturizers: Seal the deal with moisture. Moisturizers lock in the goodness from serums, even for oily skin. Choices aplenty, but they all nourish and replenish.
Frequency: Sun up to sundown - AM & PM.
SPFs: Sunscreen, the shield your skin needs. Guard against the sun's harmful rays and free radicals. And no, makeup's SPF isn't the real deal.
Remember: Rise and shine with SPF in the AM! You can apply SPF and a moisturizer together, but you will need two seperate products for optimal protection.
Eye Care: Give your eyes some love. A cream or gel pampers the delicate under-eye skin, fending off tiredness, stress, and age's sneakiness.
Remember: Best saved for last - apply before moisturizing.
