Start a good routine when you are YOUNG! You will give yourself the best opportunity possible for healthy skin long into old age.
If you want beautiful skin, it is so important to have a good skincare ROUTINE. That means doing the same thing on a regular basis. It's like anything worth having, you have to stick with it and repeat the process over and over in order to see results.
A person with a good routine is one who knows how to cleanse properly, hydrate thoroughly and exfoliate with the appropriate product for their skin. A few basic tips are listed below, but it's best to obtain the opinion of a professional who has done a thorough skin analysis for you. The result should be a customized regimen of products and care that are unique to you and your concerns.
Cleanse - use a dime size amount of cleanser, mix with water, and apply with gentle circular motion all over face, neck and décolleté. Spend about a minute doing this, leave on for 30 seconds (let the cleanser do it's job) and then rinse WELL with tepid water.
Exfoliate - 2-3x/week depending on your skin type.
Hydrate - using serums and moisturizers - day and night and more depending on your skin type. You want to keep your skin hydrated. It is the single most important step to having healthy supple skin. If you have a few minutes, spend some time moisturizing and massaging your face and neck. This stimulates circulation, helps muscle memory and penetrates products deeper into the skin. Remember to always use upward strokes.
Eyes - Gentle, Gentle, Gentle around the eyes. The eye area consists of the thinnest skin on your entire body. Use your ring fingers to apply your moisturizer around the eye. Gently dab and lightly circle the eyes.
Get on the right products for your skin. I wish I had a quarter for every person who told me they were a "sensitive" skin type or an "oily" when they were not. They had symptoms that needed to be treated, but were not classified in those categories. If you think your an oily and you use products for oily skin, they could be too harsh for your normal skin that just has some excess oil. That is why you want to work with a skincare professional. Same with all the other skin types.
