In today’s post, we’ll be considering the 5 basic skincare routines you can adopt if you wish to glow up or maintain your current glow within a 30-day cycle. Guess what? These basic steps form the bedrock of most skincare regimens and it works for all skin types.
However, if you are struggling with any specific skin concerns, instead of adopting this routine, we highly recommend scheduling a FREE consultation to speak with our professionals online. They are always available to attend to your needs.
Now, let’s get down to this 5-step routine.
Step 1: Gentle Cleansing To Refresh The Skin
As usual, this is the #1 step in most skincare routines. Before using nourishing serums, moisturizers, or treatment products, it’s recommended to first cleanse the skin. Aside from prepping the skin for other products, this step is crucial in unclogging pores and preventing the skin from breaking out. While this step is very necessary, it’s also important not to overdo it, especially when it has to do with your face.
Since the facial skin is quite delicate, using harsh cleansers that might strip it of its natural skin can easily trigger excessive sebum production, thereby, triggering acne. However, you may want to try our Blanco Facial Cleansing Gel. Aside from removing dirt, this soothing cleanser also works alongside other products to enhance your natural complexion.
Step 2: Apply Unifying Toner To Balance Your Skin
Although this step might seem uncommon for some people, we still recommend adding it to your regimen. One great benefit of using a toner is that it provides secondary cleansing. How does that work? Applying a toner can help to remove excess dirt or impurities that are still remaining on your skin after you have cleansed.
If you are struggling with acne-prone skin, using products like our Bleach Toner will also be beneficial to your skin. Furthermore, good toners are known to provide PH balance while getting the skin ready to receive other products. Use toners that meet your specific skin needs, such as hydration, exfoliation, soothing inflammation, etc. In case you are not certain of what your skin is, remember you can always contact us.
Step 3: Use Serum To Target Your Concerns
If you are struggling with any specific skin concerns, such as dryness, dullness, wrinkles, or rough texture, this is why treatment formulas come in. And the best part to target these concerns is to introduce serums or boosters made for the concerns. For a deeper understanding, serums are products that contain active ingredients necessary for addressing a specific concern.
For instance, if you are struggling with dullness, hyperpigmentation, or wrinkles, you might want to explore our Vitamin C from the Sea, especially for your morning routine. At night, consider using our Shovalit Serum which is rich in retinol. Furthermore, if dryness or dehydration is your major concern, consider adding our Hyaluronic Acid Serum to your routine. As you may know, hyaluronic acid is an excellent humectant. It can hold 1000 of its weight in water.
Step 4: Deeply Moisturize To Stay Soft All Day
After you have applied your serums, lock in the moisture or nutrients with a good moisturizer to stay nourished. While using moisturizer is great, it’s also important to avoid the bad ones, especially those that can clog your pores. For the best-case scenario, we recommend using non-comedogenic and lightweight moisturizers, like our Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer. Just like the name implies, this refines your skin while providing the optimal amount of hydration. Goodbye to dryness or fine lines.
Another incredible benefit of a good moisturizer is that it can help reinforce the skin barriers. While some of them can help glow up the skin, especially the ones that contain niacinamide. What matters is using the right product on your skin for a faster glow. To explore our wider varieties of skin moisturizers, kindly click here.
Step 5: Use Sunscreen To Protect Your Glow
As we normally instruct, this should be the last stage of your morning skincare routine. Imagine exposing your just attained glow to the damaging UVA & UVB rays from the sun. To avoid this issue, ensure you use your sunscreen before leaving your house. If you don’t want to reuse sunscreens at intervals, try our 24-hour sunblock. They come in different variations – Sunblock SPF 50 Medium Tone and Gold Safe Tinted Solar Defense. With these amazing formulas, you’ll only need to apply them once in the morning. After that, you’ll be protected all day long.
It’s also worth mentioning that you don’t need to worry about white cast with these sunblocks as they blend perfectly well into your skin. Using sunscreens as required can also help reduce the rate at which aging signs like wrinkles and fine lines appear on your skin. Remember, sunscreens aren’t only made for sunny days. Even in dry winter or rainy season, ensure you wear your sunscreen.
Additional Skincare Tips To Glow Up Your Skin
In as much as we’ve listed these 5 basic skincare steps that should be found in your daily routine. However, here are other tips you should consider on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
Exfoliation
On an average of 30 days, our skin experiences a cycle where it sheds off the old outer layer to reveal the younger skin beneath. However, as we advance in age, the days at which the skin achieves this cycle might be elongated. And if these dead skin cells are not sloughed off properly, they might clog the pores. To prevent this and help your skin, we recommend exfoliating at least once or twice a week using any of our exfoliators.
Facials & Chemical Peel
To stay ahead of any breakout or skin problem, we recommend coming for periodical skin checkups. Have a professional examine your skin and proffer what might need changing in your regimen. To boost your facial glow, you might also want to consider having facials or chemical peels based on what your skin needs.
Conclusion
Having glowing skin can only be achieved when you pay closer attention to your skin. Nevertheless, the effect of a quality skincare regimen and a healthy lifestyle can never be overemphasized in this subject. For instance, never go to bed with your makeup regardless of how you are feeling.
Wear protective clothing if you’ll be staying under the sun a lot. During the dry winter season, invest more in hydrating your skin.
