Skincare BASICS you are Missing

Girl 1: “What do you Understand by Skincare??”

Girl 2: “It means taking care of your skin.”

Girl 1: “So, how do you take care of your skin??”

Girl 2: “Well… I do it by cleaning my face while taking bath, followed by a moisturizer.”

Girl 1: “Anything else that you do for your skin like scrubbing, face pack, serum, etc.??”

Girl 2: “Hey, Only they can do so many things, who can spare time for all this. I don’t get time for myself. Also, it’s better to stay away from cosmetics. These have long-term side-effects, and can damage your natural skin.”

So, this is what the majority of people think. According to them, if you are using many cosmetics, this is going to affect the skin. But let’s not draw out any conclusion so early. It is better to understand the basics of skincare first. The skincare market, especially after the pandemic, has boomed up. But, there are people who either don’t know about it, especially beginners or don’t know how to set a routine, because of a lack of knowledge. Skincare is a very important topic and everyone should give attention to it on a daily basis. It’s not about our beauty only, but health too. By the way, I have a YouTube Channel, check HERE. It talks about beauty, wellness, and thus a healthy and confident lifestyle.

Meaning of Skincare

You can also call it “Healthy Habits”. It includes some very important points.

1. You must Keep your Skin Clean & Balanced.
2. You must Protect your Skin from Harmful UV Rays. It causes Dark Spots, Pigmentation, Sunburn, and even Cancer.
3. You must learn about Different Skin Issues to know about the possible skin problems one can face.
4. You must check yourself often to learn if the skin is showing any unusual change. For instance, a skin patch of a different color. It might be a sign of cancer.

Basic Skincare Steps

We know about this, already, but still, let me repeat it. We should follow a 3 STEP CTM Routine. C — Cleansing T — Toning M — Moisturizing These are the most important step if you don’t do much to your skin.

Products Need Time to Work

No product in the world can make you fair instantly, nor can it cure your skin issues instantly. You have to use it consistently for the results. Any product shows results in 6 to 8 weeks. So, show some patience guys.

PRODUCT APPLICATION IN ORDER OF CONSISTENCY

You must have noticed this. Some products are thick like sunscreen lotion. Some gush e.g. serums. This is their consistency. We must apply products in the order of their consistency. The thinner products penetrate into the skin while the thicker products stay on the surface of the skin.

BASIC SKINCARE RITUAL EVERYONE MUST FOLLOW

I recently talked about CTM, i.e. Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing. This is basic. But basic doesn’t include these three steps only. So, the steps that everyone must follow (doesn’t matter what your skin type or age is) includes

1. Cleansing
2. Exfoliation
3. Toning
4. Moisturizing
5. Sun Blocking.

• Cleansing keeps the skin clear.
• Exfoliation will remove the dead cells from the skin. Do this step once a week
• Toning, which many people ignore, will balance the skin.
• Moisturization will keep your skin hydrated.
• Sun Blocking, again the most neglected step, will protect skin from harmful rays of the sun.

I guess this much you can do for your skin. Your skin will be thankful to you forever. Later when you are comfortable with the routine, you can add more products. It all depends on your skin type and skin needs.

CONCLUSION

Concluding, Skincare has nothing to do with Luxury. This should be a part of your daily routine. You don’t need to spend a long time. Make fix hours for it, the way you make for other household rituals. Because your skin needs it. You can check out this VIDEO on YouTube.https://youtu.be/4_DYXxUIvaAIf you find the content valuable, show it by commenting.Check me out on other Social Media platforms as well.
