Myth: The more skincare products you use , the better your skin would be.
Fact: You don’t need 10 different skincare products to have healthy, glowing skin.
Basic skincare steps needed for healthy skin
The basic and effective rule of any skincare routine is Cleansing, Moisturising and Protecting (CMP method).
Cleansing It’s simple but sometimes overlooked, cleaning your face is the first and most important step in a good skincare routine. Always choose a mild cleanser or facewash (gel based) that has hydrating properties like glycerin, aloe vera and honey. What’s better than Manuka honey in a facewash, right? Then try Manuka Honey hydrating facewash if you have sensitive, combination, dull or acne prone skin.
Moisturising Our body needs water and so does our skin. The second step of skincare routine is moisturising your face, neck, hands and feet. You can choose any moisturiser or cream depending on your skin type. Moisturisers are generally light and are used during the day while creams are heavy weight and used at night. If your skin type is sensitive and acne prone and you need a moisturiser that has cream benefits but is also light weight at the same time then Skin Renewal Pro-retinol Collagen night cream is what you need
Protecting Shielding your skin from sunlight’s UVA (Ultraviolet A) and UVB rays (Ultraviolet B) is a crucial part of morning skincare routine. Ideally you should use sunscreen with at least SPF30 (higher is even better) because it gives broad spectrum protection in the open sun.
Do you really need a 10 step skincare routine?
No, you don’t. Don’t over complicate skincare methods and routines because others say so.
Infact, the simpler the better. You should know your skin type and choose skincare products according to CMP method.
Our skin gets confused if we use too many skincare products all at once. Therefore, start with 2-3 main products and give them at least 2-3 weeks to start showing results. Don’t expect overnight results BECAUSE that’s what causes skin disasters.
Invest in products with multiple skin friendly ingredients
Next time when you shop for your favourite skincare products, please read main ingredients on the product label. Try to buy products that offer 3-4 important skincare ingredients in one packaging as that will help to make your skincare routine simpler.
For example, if you want to buy a moisturiser or cream then look for a product that offers moisturising as well as brightening and exfoliating ingredients in one product like Skin Renewal Pro Retinol Night Cream.
Skin Renewal has 0.5% pro-retinol, hyaluronic acid and collagen together with cold pressed oils like passionfruit, jojoba, argan, rosehip and apricot kernel. So, you’re getting moisturising as well as brightening and exfoliating properties in just one product. Your skincare routine can be very simple with such a product as you don’t have to buy a separate hyaluronic acid bottle, collagen serum, retinol cream or any of these cold pressed oils. Simple and cost-effective skincare routine 😊
If you’re looking for a facewash, try to look for ingredients that are moisturizing like glycerin, aloe vera, vitamin E & panthenol. Look for anti-inflammatory ingredients like green tea & manuka honey. They work best for dull and pigmented skin.
You can have benefits of all these ingredients in just one product.
Don’t believe what everyone says
Many times, we end up buying skincare products that we don’t really need because of OTHERS.
OTHERS can be media, influencers, celebrities, ads, or our own friends. Every skin is different and it’s not possible that one skincare product can suit every skin type. If we stop relying on other people’s opinions then we can definitely simplify our skincare routine and most importantly make it effective for us.
Hope this helps you to start a simple skincare routine for dull, pigmented or acne prone skin with ease.
