5 steps to establishing a healthy skincare routine
The ultimate guide to YOUR best skin.
The first thing that should be noted is that everyone's skin is different. However, these five steps can be applied to anyone, with any skin type.
Make an appointment with a dermatologist
Establish a skincare routine day/night
Always use a moisturizer with SPF
Find a licensed esthetician for skincare treatments quarterly
Drink as much water as possible and eat a healthy well-balanced diet
Let’s talk about how establishing these steps in your skincare routine can help you achieve healthy glowing skin:
If you’re someone who has sensitive, acne-prone skin, or both, finding a dermatologist is a great first step on the journey to achieving healthy skin. Once you find the right fit your dermatologist can determine your skin type and recommend products as well as active ingredients that will work well for your skin type.
Follow up with one or two more appointments a year.
Now that you’ve left the dermatologist you can take a deep breath and more confidently shop for all your skincare needs. Your AM and PM skincare needs for beginners are as follows:
AM
Cleanser
Toner
Oil/Serum
Eye Cream
Moisturizer
SPF
PM
Micellar Water
Cleanser
Mask (1-3 times a week)
Toner
Oil/Serum
Eye Cream
Moisturizer
Spot Treatment
Lip Mask
STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!!!
Always, always, yes always…..use SPF or a moisturizer with SPF. The many benefits of using SPF daily include UV protection from damaging sun rays, reducing the risk of skin cancer, reducing the signs of aging, and preventing further hyperpigmentation from past breakouts. “Just Do It.”
You’ve reached the point of finding products that work really well for your skin and overall you notice that the texture and appearance of your skin have improved but, there are still some parts of your face that could use a little extra love. Now what? Like finding a dermatologist, making an appointment for skincare services/treatments with an esthetician can be a game-changer. Extractions, dermaplaning and chemical peels are just a few treatments that help treat uneven, textured skin.
Lastly, drink as much water as you possibly can and eat a well-balanced diet. Drinking water is an instant hydrator for the skin and will help prevent dryness. Eating a well-balanced diet includes lots of fruits and vegetables and not overindulging in foods that are high in sugar and fat. What you put into your body is what you get out. Always remember: consistency is key!
