To achieve glowing, clear skin, it is important to establish and maintain a proper skin care routine.
The following skincare routines, tips and tricks can help:
1. Regular cleaning
Double cleaning: Use an oil-based cleanser in the evening to remove make-up and dirt, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove residue.
Morning Cleanse: In the morning, use a gentle cleanser to refresh the skin.
2. Hydration
Serums and moisturisers: use a hyaluronic acid serum to boost hydration, then apply a light moisturiser to lock in moisture.
Night creams: use a richer moisturiser at night to allow the skin to regenerate while you sleep.
3. Exfoliation
Chemical exfoliators: Use products containing AHA or BHA 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and renew the skin’s surface.
Physical exfoliators: use with care to avoid irritating the skin.
4. Sun protection
Sunscreen: always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days, to protect against harmful UV rays.
5. Healthy Lifestyle
Diet: eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. Avoid excessive sugar and fat intake.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated.
Sleep: get 7-9 hours of sleep a day to allow the skin to regenerate.
6. Stress management
Relaxation techniques: try yoga, meditation or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress.
Regular exercise: Exercise improves circulation and promotes healthy skin.
7. Special Treatments
Face masks: use a moisturising, cleansing or soothing face mask once a week.
Professional treatments: Occasionally, you should go for cosmetic treatments (e.g. microdermabrasion, chemical peels).
8. Choosing skin care products
Personalised products: choose the right products for your skin type and skin problems.
Trial and error: be patient and try several products to find the best one for you.
9. Avoid irritating ingredients
Alcohol, perfume, sulphates: Avoid products that contain these ingredients as they can dry and irritate the skin.
