Good afternoon Residents!
I hope you are all well on this chilly day โ๏ธ๐ซ
I just wanted to share with you a few tips to enhance your routines!
Skin Tips ๐ซ
๐ซ Choose a cleanser that suits your skin type and needs
๐ซ Ensure you cleanse for at least a minute to allow your cleanser to emulsify and get to work!
๐ซ Double cleanse in the evenings to sufficiently remove SPF, makeup, and dirt and oils
๐ซ As soon as you are home in the evenings, try to remove your makeup/skincare as soon as possible, not only are you removing impurities, but this allows your products to sink in rather than doing your routine just before bed and all your products going on to your pillowcase instead!
๐ซ When introducing an active like retinol, introduce it slowly to ensure you have minimal to no irritation
๐ซ Ensure you apply a moisturiser 30 minutes after applying retinol
๐ซ Use the buffering method if youโre nervous about starting a retinol or if your skin is sensitive. Apply a hydrating serum or moisturiser after cleansing , then apply your retinol on top, and then another layer of moisturiser after 30 minutes, this will help minimise irritation
๐ซ When applying multiple serums, leave a few minutes per serum to allow each of them to penetrate
๐ซ Apply hyaluronic acid to damp skin or mist the face and then apply it
๐ซ Ensure you have applied your SPF 30 minutes before leaving the house to make sure your skin is protected
๐ซ Apply 3 finger lengths of SPF for coverage on your face and neck
๐ซ Donโt forget your neck when it comes to SPF, itโs where we tend to neglect!
๐ซ If you have hyperpigmentation, a tinted SPF is better to use as most of them contain iron oxides
๐ซ Remember! Having a good skin care routine and a varied balanced diet is the foundation to having healthy skin
๐ซ Skin treatments such as chemical peels and microneedling are a great addition to reaching your skin care goals and maintaining your skin
I hope you all found this helpful! If you need any other advice or information, as well as a tailored skincare routine, book below ๐ซ
