Having a proper skincare routine is a must these days, it ensures that your skin is enriched with all the benefits of every product that you have used on it. However one must remember that there is an order to it. With every product, we use on our skin only a small percentage of its useful ingredients. If an order isn’t followed the skin doesn’t benefit as much from the hard work you put into it.
Here we have a perfect daytime skincare routine for you, with an exhaustive walkthrough that will tell you why there is an order to it.
Daytime Skin Care Routine: A Walk Through
The idea behind the morning routine is that it is supposed to protect your skin from the sun. It also seeks to help you fight pollution and other harmful elements that may engage with your skin.
STEP 1: CLEANSER
You can either spend a bomb on a good face cleanser or you can start your day with the organic cleanser that is to splash your face with warm water, if you are hell-bent on doing this properly then you can use any basic cleanser that is suitable for your skin.
STEP 2: TONER
Do not skip the toner, I know a lot of you are tempted to since a toner tends to irritate the skin but if you pick the right one then it can do wonders for your skin. It is important for your skin since it delivers the necessary antioxidants to your skin as well as enriches it with vitamin B. It is also full of toning acids that are quite important for your skin. Much like the cleanser, you will have to know which toner works for your skin.
STEP 3: ANTIOXIDANT SERUM
Serums are concentrated solutions designed to serve a specific purpose for your skin, they are a key ingredient to your step-by-step skincare routine. You can use any serum but you should prefer an antioxidant serum due to its ability to protect your skin from UV rays and other toxic environmental pollutants. These are easy to find in the market, don’t be afraid if it irritates you in the beginning, it is supposed to if you haven’t ever used them.
STEP 4: EYE CREAM
Applying an eye cream illustrates the difference between a woman that has aged well to a woman who hasn’t. The process of decaying youthful skin starts in your 20’s which is the ideal time to start using an eye cream. The eyelid skin is an important part of your face even though you don’t see it now, the quality of that specific area gives your entire face luster. Furthermore, practice wearing sunglasses to protect the same. Eye cream prevents your eyes from the damage of UV light, this is a step that you can’t miss even if you wanted to.
STEP 5: SPOT TREATMENT
This is not important for those who are god’s favourite and have no acne marks but for those of you who are normal and have acne scars and regular acne occurrence, this is kind of an important step. Please consult your dermatologist to make sure you pick the right product for this step, you will have to know your skin for this. You may be recommended a cream that you have to apply on your entire face or you may have to use it only on your spots. Either way, make sure to not skip a day and be patient with the result.
STEP 6: MOISTURIZER
You must have been expecting this, this is the most important part of the skincare routine. I have friends who only use a good moisturizer and think it counts for a skincare routine, it doesn’t. It happens to something that we must get used to sooner or later. A lot of people complain about having to take the pains to moisturize when they have oily skin and its true face feels damp and uncomfortable but that doesn’t mean your oily skin doesn’t need it. Make sure you are using the right kind of it.
Step 7: SUNSCREEN
Never step outside without using a layer of sunscreen, it is very important to fight off the UV Rays. Dermatologists usually prefer a sunscreen that has zinc in it since it is effective against UVA and UVB rays. Even if you are using chemical sunscreen make sure it is a kind that agrees with the temperament of your skin.
Conclusion
Hope this helps you figure out why it is important to have a robust skincare routine, remember the order matters and the consistency too. As long as the product agrees with your skin, the label and price don’t matter.
