SKINCARE RULES TO FOLLOW IN 2020

With the arrival of the new year 2020, we are all focusing on making smart choices in terms of beauty and skincare. But, the ‘how-to-go-about-it’ part of choosing beauty products suited for your personal type of skin can be quite intimidating.

To guide you through the beauty-jargon on your quest for perfect skin, we have put together a list of 5 skincare tips that cover ALL the bases.

LIP CARE IS SKINCARE

The one feature that people look at beyond the face are lips, so hydrate and exfoliate, managing a healthy lip care routine because it’s as essential as skin care.

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO LAYER

If you don’t apply your skincare products in the right order you could prevent them from being fully-absorbed, which means they won’t be as effective. The general rule is to apply the most lightweight formulas first so they can be easily absorbed without the barrier of heavier creams.

ALWAYS DOUBLE CLEANSE

Double cleansing has completely transformed our skin. By cleansing twice, you’ll ensure all the dirt, bacteria, oil and pollution that’s built up on your skin during the day has been removed, leaving you with a thoroughly clean, glowing skin base for you.

NEVER SKIP SUNSCREEN

If there’s one thing literally ALL derms tell us; it’s the importance of using sunscreen daily to help protect your skin from sun damage. Even on cloudy, winter days, protect your skin by using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or above. Just apply sunscreen every day, and your skin will thank you for it.

MOISTURE IS KEY

When it comes to your skin, hydration is everything. Even if you have oily skin, you need to keep your skin hydrated; otherwise, it’ll produce more oil in an attempt to compensate. Look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, peptides etc whilst choosing your hydrating skincare products.

VITAMIN C IS THAT MIRACULOUS GLOW-GETTER

Vitamin C is one of the strongest antioxidants on the shelves, which means it helps to protect your skin from environmental stressors that can accelerate aging. Plus, it’s even been shown to promote and encourage skin elasticity and collagen production, so combined with its ability to revive dull skin, it’s truly transformative.
