Clear, radiant skin. Some of us are born with it, others aren’t. But even the most genetically-blessed skin needs to be taken care of. Like anything health related, it takes work and ongoing commitment.
What you do every day has a big impact on the look and feel of your skin. Everyone’s skin is different, so it’s critical to establish a routine that works for you. As you get older, your skin shifts. Keep this in mind when choosing skincare products.
Cleanse, tone & moisturise
The three-part golden rule of great skin is cleansing, toning and moisturising. Wash your face clean, getting rid of all that makeup, dirt and grime that sits on your skin all day. Tone it, to balance the skin, and follow it up by moisturising the skin to hydrate and soften it.
Finding the right cleanser for your skin will help avoid stripping your healthy oils. Exfoliate once a week. Any more than this will start to irritate the skin. Pick a smooth cleanser that doesn’t have crushed shells or abrasive ingredients, too.
For oily skin, foaming liquid is a great choice. Combined with water, it helps break down dirt and excess sebum from pores. If you have dry or agitated skin, a cream or lotion will wipe away impurities while hydrating the skin.
So, if you think of cleanser as your ‘diet’, the toner serves as your ‘supplements.’ It’ll give you an extra boost and help balance inconsistencies. Just be careful with the ingredients. Look for the good stuff like rose water and green tea, vitamin E and C.
Last, but certainly not least, your moisturiser. For normal or combination skin, lotions are best. It hydrates and absorbs well. Creams work well for dry skin. Choosing separate day and creams is also important, but it’s something that a lot of people don’t realise.
During the day, your skin has different requirements. Protect it from the sun and environmental aggressors with a lightweight solution. At night, use this as a time for restoration. Speed up cellular turnover, counteract dark spots, and replenish moisture levels. You’ll wake up looking fresh.
How well do you know your skin?
Take the time to understand your skin. Is it oily, dry or a combination of both? Are there foods that affect your skin? How much product do you need to apply to your skin without overdoing it?
Of course, it’s important to remember there’s no easy fix when it comes to skincare. It takes time and a lifelong commitment. At Neora, we make good skin habits easy.
