Have you finally decided to make your beauty routine right and consistent, but don’t know where to start? It is completely normal if at this stage you are tormented by questions: how many care products to use,
in what sequence to apply them, and most importantly, what effect to expect. In the new material, VOICE lays out all the necessary information about this on the shelves and talks about the features of the morning and night beauty rituals.
We have heard many times about the basic steps of facial skincare, which include cleansing, moisturizing, and treating. With the first two points, everything is more or less clear, while the cryptic wording “treatment” raises questions for many.
In fact, the daily beauty routine does not mean the fight against acne or other skin features. We are talking about the use of creams and serums containing ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, and more, which have a powerful skincare effect and make the skin not only more beautiful but also healthier.
Morning beauty routine
A glass of warm water after waking up is certainly a good habit! But this is not the only thing with which your morning should begin. Daily skincare is a must-have beauty ritual that will only make you more beautiful.
Tonic
Using a tonic is not a necessary step in your daily beauty routine, but it is certainly useful. This is a great way to invigorate the skin, remove residual impurities from the face, and also normalize the pH balance.
If your skin is prone to acne, then look on the shelves of tonics with salicylic acid in the composition. But for dry and sensitive skin, a moisturizing tonic or essence is more suitable. These products do not contain alcohol but take care of the skin with beneficial ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
Serum
Serum, perfectly matched to the needs of your skin, has not only care but also a protective effect. Vitamin C Serum is truly a one-stop shop for everyone, regardless of age.
This valuable ingredient helps to literally turn back the clock and “patch” many of the damage to the skin caused by the sun and other negative environmental factors. Serums with vitamin C are also indispensable in the fight against hyperpigmentation – with regular use of the product in the morning, dark spots on the skin become less noticeable.
Eye cream
Creams for the delicate area around the eyes also have a powerful caring effect. For their application, it is better to use the ring finger, because it is considered the weakest of the entire five.
This technique will help you avoid stretching or minor skin damage while using the product for the eye area.
Moisturizing cream
Following the application of the cream around the eyes, heavy artillery is used – a moisturizer that will help strengthen the protective barrier. If you have oily or normal skin, use a product with a lighter texture – a gel or lotion that absorbs quickly and does not allow makeup to “float” after a couple of hours.
Those with dry skin may want to opt for products with a thicker formula – a daytime moisturizer is ideal. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid as part of the products will bring additional benefits!
Sunscreen
Using sunscreen is one of the most important steps in skincare. Many dermatologists and cosmetologists even agree that if you do not use products with SPF, then you can just as well refuse all other steps in your daily beauty routine.
It is the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation that are the main cause of premature skin aging, and also lead to hyperpigmentation and cancer. To build a protective barrier against UV radiation, it is important not to forget to finish your morning skincare ritual every day by applying a cream with an SPF factor of at least 30. Moreover, it is better to evenly distribute protection not only on the face but also on the neck, as well as the back of the hands.
Night skincare
Evening skincare is no less important than daytime. It is at night that our skin absorbs the most nutrients and active ingredients – this is a unique time when it is regenerated and restored, while we sleep peacefully and have wonderful dreams. We tell you what you should not forget about before you finally fall on the pillow.
Even more, care should be the owners of dry and sensitive skin. Dermatologists recommend that they wash their face with foam or gel only before going to bed, and in the morning only rinse their face with water.
Cleanser
Before going to bed, it is important to wipe off daytime makeup and accumulated dirt from your face. It is better to start with a special make-up remover, which will gently remove mascara and other persistent decorative cosmetics from the skin.
Moisturize the skin around the eyes with a serum or special cream for the care of this area. If you do this regularly, you will notice that dark circles and fine lines will become less noticeable.
Acne treatment
If your skin is prone to rashes, then it is better to deal with them at night. Good products with retinoids and salicylic acid help with this. However, we advise you not to self-medicate and first contact a dermatologist who will select the right therapy for you.
The tool will only soften the skin and will not increase inflammation. Apply facial oil last, when the rest of the care products are completely absorbed into the skin.
