We all have so much going on in our lives, dedicating time for skincare may seem like a waste,Trust me it's not . Our skin is our largest organ , it protects our insides from the rest of the world which is why it's so important to care for it.
Skincare goes beyond what you do or don't put on your skin , it's heavily impacted by the ways we live our lives . Do you eat a healthy diet? Do you have a healthy sleep schedule ? Do you exercise regularly and stay out of the sun? . Believe it or not all these things affect your skin health , I say this to say healthy skin cannot be achieved independent of healthy habits . So you should probably put that Big Mac down and stop scrolling through tik tok when you should be sleeping.
I know we all want to be confident and feel good about your appearance and a good skincare routine is a major player in that .Skin that isn't cared for is often dull , dehydrated , loses elasticity and develops wrinkles easily . Poor skin care can also cause rashes , sores and acne and causes skin to be susceptible to disease or infections . However when skin is taken care of not only is it hydrated (which results in a smoother, more even toned skin) the skin's natural glow is improved and you don't look 15 years older .you also feel good about yourself and your mental health is positively impacted and for that point alone it's worth it .
So now that I've told you to put down the burger and stop wasting time on tiktok at 2 am I'm gonna give you some basic steps to develop a skin care routine as a beginner .
In my opinion the most important products you need as a beginner are Cleanser , Moisturiser and Sun protection.
Cleanser / Face Wash
Facilitates the removal of all the dirt and unwanted debris that have been built up on your skin throughout the day, congested pores can not only cause breakouts but prevent absorption of other products. Cleansing assists to manage PH levels of the skin enabling water retention and product retention.
Moitsuriser
Moisturising is important because your skin can dry out and become dull throughout the day. The right moisturiser for you will create a protective barrier to shield your skin from environmental damage , leaving the skin youthful and looking softer.
Sunscreen
The sun is great however it can be seriously harmful to your skin. Sunscreen protects your skin from the harmful UV rays we get from the sun . Too much exposure to the sun can cause premature ageing , uneven skin tone and extreme dry skin . Therefore it is extremely important to protect your skin daily . Even for those with darker skin it is a must to wear sunscreen everyday .
Now that you have an idea of how you can care for your skin, give it the tender love and care it deserves, take an extra 10 minutes in your day to show yourself some love.
