Simplicity is Key
Today, when it comes to skincare, we see influencers using any sort of name-brand products and having over ten steps in their daily routine. This leaves many to wonder:
Should I be doing this, too? In simple answer- no. What’s most important about skincare is that it meets our skin’s needs. Everyone has different needs, so that ranges for every individual
Finding out which skincare steps are absolutely necessary is a complicated question
with many variables to consider. For example, what skin type am I? What am I trying to achieve or my concern about my skin?
For everyone, the most basic steps of a skincare routine are washing your face and moisturizing. These steps are the most important because washing your face gets rid of any dirt or bacteria in your face from throughout the day, and is able to prevent breakouts. Moisturizing is important because it helps with the skin barrier, and gives our skin the glowy optimal look. Another important step in a skincare routine is sunscreen. Most of the time forgotten, sunscreen with a strong sun protection factor is crucial to any skincare routine because it protects our faces from harmful UV rays and prevents aging as well.
Another important part of a skincare routine is using serums and boosters that help the skin’s feeling and look. Serums penetrate the layers of the skin and depending on the type of serum, can help with moisture, scarring, acne, minimizing fine lines, and more. In conclusion, our skincare needs depend on the type of face that we have and what our skin needs at the moment.
