How to build a healthy skincare routine?

    Most of us love to have a fresh and clean look. But with aging, harsh environmental or unhealthy conditions make our skin look dull and lifeless. From open pores to dark circles, we try to conceal each of them using filters and makeup. What if you can get flawless skin using suitable methods and products? Yes, It’s possible, with the help of a careful skincare regimen. Here are the best steps you must include in your skincare routine to embrace natural beauty without device filters.  

 Cleanse your face    

   Wash your face twice a day with quality face cleansers. Facial cleansing is necessary for the removal of impurities, dead skin cells, and to unclog pores. When your pores clog with oil, bacteria can cause inflammation and result in an acne breakout. Excessive cleansing can remove essential sebum, which may cause irritation.  

Tone your skin

  Usually, after cleansing your skin, you need to apply a toner to prepare your skin to absorb the beauty products. Toners will reduce open pores, especially in oily skin, exfoliate your skin and rehydrate it. If you have combination skin, try using cucumber-based toners. Toners assist in balancing the pH of the skin   

Applying serum

  Serums can heal and repair your skin by going deep into your skin layers. It can resolve many skin concerns, including dark spots, wrinkles, pigmentation, etc. They can also increase collagen production, thus reducing fine lines and sagging skin. Antioxidant serums can neutralize the UV damage caused to your skin.  

Moisturizing is must

  Moisturizers are essential to hydrate your skin. You will not get a vibrant complexion if you don’t use them regularly. Don’t fail to use them even if your skin is oily. Apart from maintaining the moisture content, they also protect your skin, acting as an extra layer from pollutants and harsh sun rays.  

Eye cream

  The skin around your eyes is delicate and is prone to damage. Eye creams help reduce fine lines and help maintain the elasticity of the eye area. For treating problems like crow’s feet and dark circles use medical products suggested by dermatologists to avoid irritation.  

Sunscreen 

  Your skincare routine goes incomplete without a sunscreen. Strong sunlight not only causes tan but also causes irreversible damage to your skin. Dermatologists recommend using sunscreens with a broad protection range and SPF 30 on a hot sunny day to shield UVA and UVB rays. For winters, you may use sunscreens with SPF 15.   Don’t overwhelm yourself with a lot of skin products. Give time for them to work and also do a patch test before applying new products. Check the active ingredients and make sure that you are not allergic to them. An aggressive skincare routine can cause more damage; more products will not give results, but the right products consistently over time. Be patient and reap the benefits of your efforts.
