Wondering what’s the best regime for your skin?
We don’t all follow a general skin care plan.
Given that everyone has their own type of skin, there’s no way that we can follow the same routine. No general skincare plan works. Of course, there are things that we all do, like apply moisturiser, but we all have our own beauty ‘rules.’
So, yes, following the general skincare plan that we all know works – cleansing, toning and moisturising – but tailor it to your needs. Some days your skin will have different requirements than other times. Have you just spent a week at the beach? Is your face dry and a tad blotchy? Your general skincare plan probably won’t suffice.
Get into the habit of listening to your body and what it needs. Be patient and let your body guide you, by ‘telling’ you what it needs. Is it summertime and you’re constantly greasy? Maybe you need to spend a little extra time cleansing your skin. You can use your general skincare cleaning product if it works for you. It could be as simple as that – because it’s hot and you’re using more sunscreen.
There might even be things that you do, outside of your general skincare routine. This could include exfoliating once a week or whenever you’re experiencing breakouts. Your general skincare products need a little bit of help to remove the dead skin cells and unclog pores.
Did you wake up with tired-looking skin? You got eight hours of sleep but it sure doesn’t look like it. You might need more than general skincare today. This is the perfect morning to reach for your skin brightener, like Ilumaboost. It’s nice to have your general skincare items, then a ‘special’ area other items like this.
Have you spent a few days staying at your partner’s house? Been out of your general skincare routine for a little bit? You’ll probably notice this on your skin. Maybe you see a blemish or it’s just not feeling smooth like it usually does.
It’s easy to forget to pack your general skincare and use the soap or cleanser that’s in the shower. But you know what your skin needs and it’s probably not what you’ll find at your partners.
The time of the year, your external environment and how you’re feeling mentally also affects your complexion (and what makes up your one-off and general skincare products). Even the makeup and beauty items you use are important when determining your general skincare plan.
But whatever product it is that you’re putting on your face, the best general skincare advice we can leave you is this: choose natural, botanical ingredients where possible.
