Skin problems? The answer lies in a skincare routine!
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and is particularly exposed to environmental pollutants. However, with a targeted skincare routine, we can protect our skin from daily pollutants and harmful UVA/UVB rays. Conscious skincare ensures the fundamental needs of healthy skin and helps prevent early signs of aging.
A skincare routine with suitable products for your skin type not only improves and maintains skin condition but also supports healthy self-esteem and mental well-being as part of your daily routine. It’s worth establishing your own skincare routine.
What Is a Skincare Routine?
A skincare routine is a carefully planned, step-by-step method aimed at maintaining skin health and beauty and addressing skin problems like acne, eczema, or rosacea. Creating one isn’t always easy, especially if you have sensitive or problematic skin. However, a well-structured, scientifically-based skincare routine can make a significant difference, improving both your skin’s condition and your quality of life.
Main Steps of a Skincare Routine
The foundation of a successful skincare routine is self-awareness! Know your skin type to choose the most suitable products. Understanding not only your skin type but also any skin issues is crucial, as it allows you to select active ingredients that specifically help address those problems. Start with the basics and avoid overcomplicating your routine. Be cautious! If you’re new to skincare products, don’t use too many different products or active ingredients, especially if you’re using products with high concentrations or if your skin is sensitive.
The Basic Routine Consists of Three Main Elements:
1. Cleansing: Begin your routine with cleansing to remove daily dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin’s surface.
2. Hydration: Follow with hydration to help maintain your skin’s moisture content.
3. Sun Protection: Finally, sun protection ensures defense against harmful UV rays, which can cause premature aging and other skin problems.
These steps are essential for maintaining both the health and beauty of your skin, so make time for them daily!
With this basic routine, you’re on the right path to healthy and glowing skin. Over time—and with a better understanding of your skin’s needs—you can gradually introduce additional products and active ingredients to further refine and optimize the process.
Who Is the Basic Routine Recommended For?
The basic routine is specifically recommended for individuals under 25 who don’t experience significant skin problems. It’s also particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin! In such cases, it’s crucial to choose products that don’t irritate the skin, avoiding potential severe reactions or complications.
For individuals over 25, anti-aging products can be incorporated into the skincare routine to slow down skin aging and maintain skin elasticity, provided there are no other skin issues.
Proper Order of Products in the Routine
If you want to elevate your skincare and address specific problems or give your skin extra support and pampering, it’s worth understanding and following the generally accepted product order. This is crucial because using products in the wrong order can render them ineffective, and if products with inappropriate textures and compositions are applied together, they may not absorb properly and could even peel off.
Here’s the recommended order:
1. Makeup Remover or Micellar Water: Always rinse off!
2. Facial Cleanser: The second step in double cleansing, designed to remove micellar water, makeup, and daily impurities, with a texture suitable for your skin type.
3. Toner: Restores the skin’s pH balance. Consider trying Paris Leaf’s facial mist, which effectively addresses skin problems, especially acne, eczema, and rosacea.
4. Serum: Contains concentrated active ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin. Serums are typically used to treat skin issues like acne, dryness, dehydration, wrinkles, etc. For problematic and sensitive skin, this product is recommended.
5. Eye Cream: Specifically developed for the delicate and sensitive skin under the eyes.
6. Moisturizer: Designed to hydrate the skin, this is an essential part of the basic routine. Don’t neglect nourishing oily and combination skin! If you’re looking for a lightweight product, consider Paris Leaf’s Blemish Control Moisturizer, which revitalizes your skin without a greasy layer and protects it from acne-causing pathogens.
7. Sunscreen (Morning): Use sunscreen during the day, even on cloudy days, as harmful UVA/UVB rays can age the skin. This is the first step in anti-aging.
Conclusion
Many factors determine the condition of our skin: from lifestyle and sleep habits to our diet, anything can influence its state. Still, the right skincare routine and some conscious lifestyle changes can work wonders and help restore our skin’s natural glow and health. It’s worth starting conscious skincare, but let’s do it step by step, discovering what works for us.
