Skincare is an important part to looking fresh and feeling confident. It can even be considered a form of self-care.
You have seen enough social media posts that emphasize the importance of adopting a skincare routine. No matter your gender or age, having a skincare routine is half the battle when it comes to preserving the largest organ on your body. If you are overwhelmed and do not know where to start, here are some easy tips to follow when starting your skincare routine.
Wash Your Face
Yes, you must wash your face twice a day. Most people typically wash once in the morning and once at night. Start your day with a good facial cleanser that is great for your skin condition. If you have oily skin you may want to stick with cleansers that are foam or gel. Meanwhile, if you have dry skin you may want to go for lotions or balm cleansers. Either get the job done, but you want to be sure that you are not stripping the skin on your face of its natural nutrients.
Wet your face so that your skin is moist and rub the cleanser on your face until it starts to lather. Keep in mind that depending on what facial cleanser you use, it may not later. Lotion and balm cleansers will not later while gel and form cleansers will. Once you have rubbed cleanser all over your face, rinse and pat dry.
Moisturize Your Face
Keeping your face moisturized is an imperative part to protecting your skin’s natural barrier. That is why picking the right cleanser for your skin type is so important. You want to make sure that your skin is still moisturized even after it being cleansed as some cleansers can dry out your skin. Just get a few dabs of your favorite moisturizer and massage the moisturizer into your skin. It could be from letsdisco.co/ or your local pharmacy.
Do Not Forget To Show Your Eyes Love
The skin near and around your eyes need to be shown love too. Having a dedicated eye cream will be able to target some eye-specific issues like puffiness and dark circles that may not necessarily be addressed when you put on your moisturizer. Any eye balm will do the trick. As long as it is made with ingredients that focus on puffiness and dark circles, you are in the clear. It may seem like an unnecessary step, but eye cream can make all the difference when it comes to looking refreshed.
Moisturize Your Lips
Lip balm is your friend. It keeps your lips supple, moisturized and kissable. It also protects your lips from the outside elements like really hot or cold weather. All that is needed is a small amount on your lips in the morning before you walk out the door. You can either get the kind that comes in a tub and you dip your finger into the tub, putting the lip balm on your lips with your fingers. You can also choose to apply the lip balm straight to your lips from a stick. Either way is good.
Thanks for reading and y’all stay dandy.
