Today I have a very important but somewhat confusing and a little confusing topic which is my skincare routine, I mean this is an important topic and a question I ask time and time again about do you know what ingredients I should use.
How to Build a Skin Care Routine
- When and how often should I use these products, so today I'm going to offer some general tips as well as my personal tips on how to build a skincare routine and help you achieve your skincare goals. I love the skin care show in a pyramid at the base of which are the basics of skin care and this is really what everyone should do regardless of your age, your skin care goals and what you are trying to achieve.
- Then the middle class are the products and ingredients you want to incorporate that will help you target and achieve your own skin care goals whether it be anti-aging, fine lines and wrinkles, acne or excessive hydration.
- Then the top layer of your triangle are the things that it's really good to have but there's no need for it, so these might be really expensive ingredients or products that you might want to use only sporadically or products that you have to use only sporadically. Because of the way it is organized or things that make you feel better, because part of skin care is also self-care.
- Exercise to keep our heart healthy We need to practice daily habits to keep our skin healthy, how to keep our skin healthy, functional and healthy is by cleansing.
- protecting these three key steps are the essence of skin care, because only when you have healthy functional skin will you be able to achieve all your other skincare goals, trying to treat acne and trying to tackle hyperpigmentation or fine lines.
- least cleanse once a day and the most important cleanse is in the evening or before you sleep to thoroughly remove all the oil dirt bacteria makeup sunscreen off of your face so that way number one your skin is able to recover.
- so moisturizing should follow cleansing now in the morning for some individuals who only just wash their face with water and definitely, you still should use a moisturizer anytime that your skin is wet from water or cleansing, you need to follow with a moisturizer and lastly sunscreen that should be used during the day throughout the day.
- we recommend reapplying even every two hours if you're active out in the sun, because we know that when it comes to skin damage and skin aging environmental aggressors in particular uv radiation is the skin biggest enemy so that should definitely be incorporated into your daily routine.
- something additional a little extra when it comes to the middle tier especially for anti-aging, the two biggest ingredients that you should have in your routine are topical retinoids and alpha hydroxy acid and mainly here glycolic.
- acid we know that topical retinoids help to stimulate collagen improve skin dullness and skin texture alpha hydroxy acids helps with gentle exfoliation but also has been shown over time to stimulate collagen and skin's natural.
- hyaluronic acid production they've been studied is that the two actually work really well synergistically now even though they work well together, we don't recommend using them at the same time because the two together can be extremely irritating unless you're able to find products.
- i do not recommend layering retinoids and alpha hydroxy acid in the same routine, so how may you? incorporate these two in your routine using retinoids on a regular basis, if you're able to maybe four to five nights out of the week and then incorporating a glycolic acid based treatment or product into your routine the other two to three.
- trying to remove some dead skin which also is an important step when you're trying to achieve a more youthful radiant skin but to help with the fine lines and stimulation of hyaluronic acid the leave on treatments are really what's most effective.
- study in helping stimulate collagen and improving the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles, and so again whether it's neck cream eye cream peptides growth factors these are kind of really the icing on the cake that will take your anti-aging regimen up to the next level.
- alpha hydroxy acids have a long-standing history and have really proven themselves to be very effective in the two key ingredients, that i do recommend when it comes to anti-aging so if you don't really know where to start, i would definitely start off with these two ingredients.
- of the brightening products can be irritating so you must establish a foundation of a gentle cleanser moisturizer and sunscreen and then add in the other active ingredients the approach can be very similar to actually treating fine lines and wrinkles.
- retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids that help to fine lines and wrinkles have also been very well studied in the context for treating hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone and then the top of the triangle is where i think you can get pretty creative there are a lot of ingredients out.
- there that can be helpful and give you additional boost in improving your uneven skin tone and these ingredients include niacinamide azolic acid transamic acid kojic acid or butane many times a lot of the products.
- There's a formula that contains a lot of these ingredients together, so choose the ingredients you want to use and add them to your routine whether you're using it in the morning or at night, as long as you really understand how to incorporate these products to miniaturize.
- If your skin is very sensitive, on the contrary, you can also use a retinol serum as a middle layer as a treatment, and then follow that with a moisturizer, it really depends on how you want to design your routine.
- I encourage you to try new products, because that's how you'll be able to find products that fit your skin well, but when you do make sure you don't change them all at once and give them enough time.
