As much as we want to keep the effortless, glowing skin from our early twenties forever, unfortunately, our skin starts to change as we grow older. Some of these changes include less elasticity, thinning skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and more moles, freckles, and age spots. However, you don’t have to accept this as an inevitable fate if you make a conscious effort to take care of it. Great skin can still be possible even with aging, depending on how you care for your skin and the products you use. Let’s dive into a great skincare routine to help you achieve the beautiful and radiant skin you absolutely deserve no matter what age you are! We’ve put together some skincare tips and a step-by-step guide to building an ideal skincare regimen that can help get you back on track to beautiful skin! Keep reading.
First off, let’s start with the three main steps you should make sure to include in your regimen:
Washing your face daily is critical to maintaining healthy skin since it removes dirt, oil, and other unwanted buildup that accumulates throughout the day. Your skin is constantly exposed to bacteria, dirt, pollutants, and old skin cells, so it is important to remove these impurities and allow your skin to breathe, be clean, and makes it easier for your skin to absorb quality anti-aging products. Cleansing your skin also helps keep your pores smaller since it is less likely to be clogged, promotes proper hydration and prevents excess oils from building on your skin.
Using toner is a necessary step to get extra cleansing especially after removing your makeup or other heavy products like sunscreen. Our skin is naturally acidic and can have a pH imbalance after cleansing with soap and cause your skin to produce oil to return to its normal levels. Toner can help restore your pH balance quickly while adding a layer of protection to your skin from impurities and environmental contaminants. Do not skip this step in your routine! Using this step after cleansing will leave your skin much more rejuvenated.
This is an especially essential step in your daily routine to maintain a vibrant complexion while preventing irritation. You should choose a good moisturizer depending on your skin type and preferably one that also protects you from harsh UV rays. Excessive cleansing, dry air, using harsh chemicals/products, and unbalanced pH levels are some of the culprits that can cause your skin to become dry. When applying moisturizer, it is good to work with upward strokes (going against gravity), gently patting the product on your face, neck, and chest evenly. Avoid aggressive rubbing. The best times to moisturize are after showering, when you wake up, and before bedtime. Keeping your skin moisturized with high-quality products can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, although it will not prevent them from forming over time.
