Skincare
Some of us are blessed with gorgeous, perfectly clear skin. Others suffer from acne, eczema, sensitivity, and most importantly, the reduced confidence as a result of our skin.
But no more! Healthy skin should be available to all, regardless of conditions, genders, and budget.
Skincare principles: the basic 4's.
After years of personal inquiry in curing my sensitive, eczema-prone skin, I've simplified the steps
We all need:
1- Have a gentle cleanser suited for our skin type.
2- Have a gentle moisturizer suited for our skin type.
3- If it is daytime, we need to apply a broad-spectrum SPF to our face and neck area. It prevents against wrinkles, signs of aging, and sun spots.
4- A light chemical exfoliant
5- For the individuals who wear makeup (especially face makeup), you need either an oil-based cleanser, a makeup remover, or a makeup "eraser" pad.
A sample routine looks like this:
In the A.M.: Light cleanse, moisturizer, sunscreen. If you choose, apply makeup at this stage.
In the P.M.: (If applied makeup or heavy sunscreen): oil-based cleanser/ makeup remover, cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer.
Once we have our basis covered, we can, if we feel inclined to, have fun with new products for additional benefits.
- Serums to our routines (Vitamin C,...)
- Exfoliants
- Treatments (scar fading, anti-aging, active acne, retinols,...)
- Oils
