With so many different skincare products, it's a minefield to figure out what are the essential items to keep in your skincare regime and what they do. This blog post outlines the products you need and the steps in which to use them.
ᴿᴹ Cleanser
Cleansers are an essential part of your beauty regime. Use them to remove dirt, sweat, make-up and also to exfoliate your skin. There are a lot choose from based on your skin type and requirements. For daily use, opt for a cleanser that is mild and gentle.
ᴿᴹ Toner
Use a toner after cleansing. Miscellar water can be used as toner. Toners are used to get rid of excess oil and dirt that perhaps was missed from the cleanser alone. Toners can be drying, so it is important to only use it when your skin needs it. If you have oily skin, you may need to use toner every other day. If you have dry skin, you may only need to use toner once or twice a week.
ᴿᴹ Serum
Serums are concentrated products, which absorb quickly into the skin and are to be used after cleansing and toning. There are various different types of serums based on their purpose (i.e you can get serums to brighten skin, reduce redness, reduce blemish, promote hydration, etc..)
ᴿᴹ Eye cream
Eye cream comes next in the beauty regime. Use a small amount and pat in delicately. Avoid tugging the skin as the area round your eyes are very delicate and sensitive.
ᴿᴹ Moisturiser
Moisturisers are essential to put back hydration back into the skin. Moisturisers lock in moisture and nutrients while protecting the skin from any environmental irritants.
ᴿᴹ (Day time) Sunscreen
To give your skin that added bit of protection, use sunscreen lotion. It's a common misconception that sunscreen should only be used in the summer. It should in fact be used all year round. In the summer, the need for it is greater.
ᴿᴹ (Night time) Face Oil
Adding face oil isn't quite a necessary step for everyone but it is helpful for those with really dry skin. Face oils, are usually formulated with a mix of plant oils, work to provide skin with moisture and lock in hydration. They help to soften, nourish, and balance skin for a healthy-looking glow.
