Basic skincare tips that actually work

Are you tired of trying numerous skincare products and still not seeing the results you desire? You're not alone. As an aesthetician, I have seen countless people struggle with achieving their desired skin goals. However, I'm here to tell you that basic skincare tips can actually work wonders for your skin.

1.

It’s important to understand your skin type. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, it's essential to use products that cater to your specific needs. Using the wrong products can do more harm than good, and may even worsen existing skin issues.

2.

It’s important to establish a consistent skincare routine. This includes cleansing, toning, treating and moisturising twice daily. Cleansing helps remove dirt and impurities from your skin, while toning helps to remove excess dirt, balances your skin's pH levels, and depending on the type of toner could assist with gently exfoliating the skin. Treating is where your serum comes in, and this would be dependent on your skin concerns or goals. Moisturising helps to keep your skin hydrated and looking youthful.

3.

Incorporating sunscreen into your routine is a must. Sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature aging, and can even lead to skin cancer. Therefore, it's important to apply sunscreen multiple times daily, even on overcast, rainy days.

4.

Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet can work wonders for your skin. Drinking water helps to flush out toxins and keeps your skin looking plump and hydrated. Incorporating fruits and vegetables into your diet can provide your skin with the necessary vitamins and nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

Incorporating these basic skincare tips into your daily routine can lead to noticeable improvements in your skin's appearance and overall health. 

Remember, consistency is key. Give your skin time to adjust to the products and routine you establish, and you'll be on your way to achieving your desired skin goals.
