Skincare Regime
Cleansers:
As for your skincare regime, cleansing is one of the single most important things you can do for your skin. Regardless of the type of cleanser you choose, make sure that it is targeted toward your specific skin type- oily, acne prone, dry, and sensitive. Everyone’s skin gets dirty from dust, sweat, makeup, sebum and impurities in the air. If you do not cleanse, your pores will become clogged and your skin will start to look dull. Choosing a cleanser has a lot to do with personal preference, but again always take your skin type into account. Cream cleansers are rich and gentle and leave a light, moisturizing film on the skin, which is ideal for dry, sensitive and mature skins. The drier your skin, the richer the cleanser you’ll need. A lotion or gel cleanser is ideal for normal skin as it rinses off easily, while foaming cleansers are best used on greasy skin as they dissolve any excess oil on the skin. Soap is a no-no on your face. Your skin is by nature slightly acidic (with a pH of about 5.5) and most soap leaves an alkaline residue that’s difficult to wash off and may leave skin feeling dry and tight.
Cleansing your skin not only improves the way you look, properly cleansed skin will be more receptive to active ingredients in your treatment products, so they will work better.
Cleansing twice a day is sufficient as a part of your skincare regime. If you are using mild and well-formulated products, you won’t damage your skin. Some experts believe you should have at least two cleansers- a milder formula for the morning when there’s little or no oil build-up, and a deeper cleansing product for the end of the day.
Toners:
The jury is still out on toners, also called astringents and clarifying lotions as a part of skincare regime. Many dermatologists believe that they don’t provide any special benefit other than to remove the final traces of makeup and cleanser and so make the skin feel clean and fresh. Avoid the delicate eye area as any toner can be drying. They cannot actually “close” pores as some manufacturers claim they do. However, modern formulations are becoming more and more sophisticated, with some offering soothing and anti-ageing benefits. It is true that certain exfoliating or clarifying lotions can make your skin look more radiant by dissolving dead surface cells.
Moisturizers:
What ever skin type, keep in mind that your skin’s moisture needs will vary. The way your skin feels is the best guide. Modern moisturizers are designed to help the skin function properly and to improve water retention in the epidermis by “sealing it”-effectively maintaining a delicate balance between adding water to the surface and preventing evaporation. This part of your skincare regime is really important. We should all be wearing a moisturizer that offers antioxidant benefits (to fight free radicals and prevent premature ageing). The majority of modern formulations also contain a myriad other ingredients to firm, smooth, modify or boost radiance. Choose accordingly. As a general rule, drier skins need a rich, hydrating moisturizer, while combination and oily skins do better with a lightweight lotion. If your moisturizer does not contain a sunscreen, layer one over it.
Creams and Serums:
Your skincare regime so far has avoided the area around the eyes. Why? Because the skin in your eye area is devoid of oil glands, is extra thin and delicate, is prone to wrinkling and needs special care. Never apply eye cream directly to the eyelid or underneath the eye. Using your ring finger, dot it on the orbital bone that circles the eye. The product will gradually work its way in through the repeated action of blinking.
In addition to moisturizers, there’s a whole host of potions when it comes to skincare regime out there that you’ve probably been told are essential to a good skincare routine. Many dermatologists scoff at them; many skincare experts swear by their added benefits. While there’s only so much your skin can absorb, how many extras you want to add to your basic routine is up to you. If in doubt, consult a professional.
The neck and area below the neck line are often exposed, so protect and treat them with the same care as you do your face by simply extending your skincare routine down to your chest.
