Taking care of your skin is crucial to keeping it healthy, young and radiant.
A good daily skin care routine can prevent problems such as acne, dryness, wrinkles and blemishes. Here I show you the basic steps and recommended products for facial skin care.
Steps to care of your skin
- Cleaning
It is essential to cleanse your facial skin twice a day, in the morning and at night, to remove dirt, excess oil and impurities. A gentle cleanser suitable to care of your skin type is key. Below is my recommendation of La Roche brand:
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser | Hydrating Facial Cleanser With Niacinamide + Ceramides | Daily Face Wash For Dry Skin To Normal Skin | Sensitive Skin Tested | Fragrance Free
Travel Skin Care Set contains a gentle cream cleanser that leaves skin feeling hydrated & cleansed and a lightweight moisturizer that provides 48hr hydration. Repairs & maintains skin’s natural moisture barrier.
- Toning:
After cleansing, it is important to tone the skin to balance its pH and close pores. Toners also help prepare the skin for the application of subsequent treatments. Here I leave you one from Korea:
Glow Recipe PHA + BHA Face Toner – KOREAN SKIN CARE TONER
Pore Minimizer & Facial Exfoliator for Glass Skin – Tightening & Hydrating Skincare with Hyaluronic Acid & Watermelon (150ml)
Korean Skincare Reimagined – The Glow Recipe PHA + BHA Toner utilizes Korean beauty philosophies of hydrating, exfoliating, and amino-rich ingredients to help retain moisture, soothe skin, minimize the look of pores, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Lock in Moisture – This hydrating facial toner for women and men contains watermelon extract, cactus water & hyaluronic acid for deep, long-lasting hydration that plumps and moisturizes dry skin.
Minimize, Exfoliate & Unclog Pores – Our Korean toner uses polyhydroxy acids (PHA) to help smooth skin by gently removing buildup, while 2 types of effective BHAs & tea tree extract help to clean, decongest, and reduce the appearance of pores without irritation.
How to Use – After cleansing, dispense into palms & gently press the moisturizing & exfoliating toner into the face & neck until fully absorbed for an even skin tone look and feel. Can also be applied with a cotton pad. Avoid eye area. During the day, follow with sunscreen.
Free Of – Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Phthalates, Drying Alcohols, and Synthetic Dyes. This Vegan and Cruelty-Free dark spot treatment & BHA toner will leave you with pillow-soft skin. Patch test skincare toner on small areas of skin before using on the face.
- Hydration:
Hydration is essential to keep skin soft, supple and protected. A good moisturizer should be light, non-comedogenic and provide the necessary hydration without leaving a greasy feeling. In this sense, the Olay brand is known worldwide as one of the best in hydration and correction of expression lines:
Olay Regenerist Retinol Moisturizer, Retinol 24 Night Face Cream with Niacinamide,
Anti-Wrinkle Fragrance-Free 1.7 oz, Includes Olay Whip Travel Size for Dry Skin
- Sun protection:
Daily use of sunscreen is one of the most important steps in your skin care routine. You should apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy or rainy days, to protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays. In this regard, for me, Lancaster is the best brand in terms of solar products. I have been using it since I was little thanks to my mother and I recommend it to everyone. In fact, I use it for sunbathing and also in self-tanning. Here you have the sunscreen and below I leave you my self-tanner.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted SPF 50 Sunscreen & Toleriane Gentle Cleanser Travel Set
With Titanium Dioxide & Niacinamide
And here you have the body self-tanner. Obviously you also have the version for the face although I use this one and it works well too.
Tanning Lotion Self Tanner Kit – USA Made with Organic & Natural Ingredients,
Self Tanning Lotion & Application Kit, Non Toxic Gradual Tan Lotion, Sunless Tanning Lotion for Fake Tan for Women & Men.
More to care of your skin: In addition to these basic steps, you can also incorporate specific products to treat skin problems such as acne, blemishes, dryness or wrinkles (this depends on each person, age, stage of life, type of work, etc. ..). Consulting a dermatologist can be helpful in determining which products are best for your skin type and specific needs.
The most important thing in all this is that you be CONSTANT. It’s no use knowing the theory and then not doing it (no matter how lazy we are to do it at night…). If you are constant, you will see the results…
Don’t underestimate the power of a good skin care routine to maintain the beauty and health of your face!
