Allies of Skin

Many of you probably already know this, but your daily skincare routine has a direct impact on the way your face appears in the mirror, even if you are one of those people blessed with beautiful skin. As the body’s largest organ, our skin works hard to protect the body from harmful elements. Keeping this in mind, let’s take a look at how to care for your face and keep it clear and healthy in three simple but effective ways.

Wash Your Face

Our faces come into contact with dirt and environmental pollutants every day, not to mention the sweating that occurs. It would make sense then to wash your face in the morning and at night to rid your skin of impurities and prevent clogged pores, acne, and dullness. Don’t overdo it though by scrubbing too hard. Also, be sure to use a formula that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils.

The facial cleanser you should use depends on the type of skin you have. You want to look for formulas that provide essential nutrients and probiotics that help balance skin flora while removing impurities yet retaining moisture. Your skin should feel clean and smooth, not tight or irritated. The right product for you should not trigger acne or clog your pores.

Balance the Skin

After you wash your face, you’ll want to apply a toner to it. Thankfully, the old days of using rubbing alcohol or some similar astringent to aggressively strip your skin of dirt and oils are long gone. You can’t get a healthy, radiant face by drying your skin out. Modern toners work amazingly well on the face and have evolved into a necessary thirst-quenching layer for many.

A concentrated serum is essential because the first step to healthy skin is ample hydration. Look for a champion liquid like a hyaluronic acid serum to really give your skin a boost of hydration. A daily dose of hyaluronic acid serum provides powerful antioxidants to supercharge dehydrated skin. The best among them will also reduce fine lines, promote firming, and speed up the healing of damaged skin.

To further replenish moisture and brighten skin tone, consider a mandelic acid peel to gently remove dead skin cells that clog pores. Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid—yet another hydrating hero. When in a high-quality formula, this type of peel also will have antibacterial properties that make it excellent at loosening blackheads and treating acne.

Seal in Moisture

The next step is to moisturize. In this stage, it’s important to consider the time of day. In the morning before applying a sunscreen use a day cream or leave-on mask to seal in moisture and protect your skin from pollution during the day. The best formulas will include antioxidants and help promote cellular healing.

At night, you’ll want to use a cream or serum that repairs any damage that may have been caused during the day. Night creams also replenish moisture in the skin. Daily and nightly moisturizers not only protect and nourish the skin, but they also address fine lines that develop over time, imperfections on the surface of the skin, and the appearance of pores. Our daily lives and activities can be very dehydrating, so it’s important not to skip the moisturizing step in your skincare regimen both day and night.

Your skincare routine doesn’t need to be complicated, but you do need to stay on top of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing daily to reap the benefits of clear, healthy skin. There is no instant fix, but by taking care of yourself and consistently using high-quality, potent products formulated for your skin, you’ll be sure to achieve noticeable results.
