Start your skin routine
How do you start a skin routine? What is the right order? And what exactly should you do or not do when it comes to your skin routine? In this blog, we take you through how to start your skin routine
.
Getting the best out of your skin starts with a daily skincare routine. And the terms "daily" and "routine" say it all. They are actions that recur daily and should become your new "way of life. After all, your skin achieves the best results by taking care of it over a longer period of time. Starting is one thing, making it your routine is two. But let's start at the beginning; you start your routine with the 3 basic steps (which vary a bit per part of the day).
1. Cleanse
To start your skin routine, it is important to properly cleanse your skin with a facial cleanser. This is a step you should never really skip; because a good start is half the battle. The products you use in the steps after cleansing work better on properly cleansed skin. So an important first step that you should really never skip.
A good cleanser in the morning removes excessive sebum and waste products that are secreted during the night when the skin is recovering and renewing itself. In the evening, on the other hand, you want your cleanser to remove makeup and dirt so that you prepare your skin to absorb the important substances from the second step.
A - Tip: Use facial cleansing sponges for optimal cleansing of your skin.
2. Stimulate
After cleansing your skin, it is time for care and stimulation. You do this with a serum. A serum is full of active ingredients and is very suitable to specifically address a skin problem or to give the skin a quick boost.
Always use a serum after a cleanser because only then will the active ingredients of a serum be optimally absorbed.
B - Tip: In this step you can deepen your skin routine with extras such as a mask, eye cream or lip balm. Each step has its own instructions for use. So before adding the extras, check how and when you can and may use this product.
3. Protect & repair
The last step of your daily skin routine is protect & restore, depending on the part of the day. In the morning, protection is key. This is when you use a nourishing day cream that protects your skin from the effects of the day.
In the evening, it is important that your skin recovers. Therefore, in the evening you finish your routine with a cream that repairs, nourishes and corrects your skin during the night. This way, your skin recovers while you sleep.
C - Tip: In the morning, use a (complementary) cream with SPF sunscreen to give your skin extra protection. Contrary to what many people think, it is very important to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays throughout the year. So it is important to add this in the morning as the last step of your skin routine.
The above sample routines are based on the essentials; products that form the basis of your daily skin care routine. You can improve the condition of your skin even more by adding extras. Using extra products is often overlooked and this is actually a missed opportunity. By choosing products specifically for your skin type, you will get the most out of your skin.
