Tip 1 – Understand your skin type

Choosing the right cleanser for your skin starts with you understanding what your skin type. It helps you pick cleansers with the ingredients your skin needs. You don’t want to go for a cleanser just because it is popular with beauty content creators, instead you want to choose the right cleanser that best suited for your skin. For instance, if you have a dry skin, you would want to try oil and cream based cleansers as they are more hydrating. While, if you have an oily skin, you would want to try foam cleansers as they are more lightweight and remove excess oil effortlessly. Understanding your skin type is the first step in getting your skincare routine right and picking the most appropriate cleanser. What is your skin type?

Tip 2 – Go for gentle cleansers

Like with everything skincare, always opt for gentle cleansers. Using harsh skincare products are never a good idea, especially for those with more sensitive skin. It is always best to go for gentler and more natural products that would do only good. Always check the ingredients before you buy a new cleanser or any skincare product, and make sure you are happy with all that is included. Which cleanser are you currently using?

Tip 3 – Try double cleansing

Double cleansing is a beauty tip I have recently really gotten into and I am loving it! It is simply using 23 different types of cleansers to cleanse the face or using the same cleanser twice to ensure the face is properly cleansed. I use an oil based cleanser and I follow up with a water based facial cleanser. Double cleansing works great for me and it is definitely a cleansing tip I would highly recommend. Do you double cleanse?

Cleanse

Cleansing is always the first step in a skincare routine. I use a cleanser and an exfoliating cleansing brush every morning and just a cleanser at nighttime. This keeps my skin clean, clear, and healthy looking. Cleansing properly is really important as it creates a clean foundation for the rest of the skincare products, and it also ensures the skin can soak in all the goodness from the products you are using.

Tone

Toning is the next step in the skincare routine and is another important step that is so easy to skip. A good toner removes all dead skin cells and any trace of dirt or excess oil. If you are looking to improve your skin, implementing a toner into your skincare routine is one of the fastest ways to get the job done.

Moisturise

To ensure your skin stays hydrated, soft, and supple, you should moisturise with a good serum and moisturiser for nighttime, and moisturiser and sunscreen for day time. This step can be the trickiest in the skincare routine because there are loads of options to choose from, and too many options can easily become overwhelming. The best way to go around this issue is to go for serums and moisturisers that suit your skin type. Also, observe how your skin responds, that way you know which skincare products are working well on your skin.

Lifestyle tips for Glowing Skin

February 26, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Finding the right skincare can feel like a game in a way. As we age, our skin changes, and skincare products that used to work so well may no longer be the right fit. To find the  right skincare products, you may have to test a good few. I have played around with a few skincare brands in the last few years. Some have been a better fit than others but what I noticed with my skin was, at first the new skincare products would work amazingly well, at least for the first couple of weeks, and then they would stop being as effective.

When it comes to lifestyle changes to make for glowing skin, I have had to learn when it comes to skincare, and I am still learning, but I have been able to pick up some up great lifestyle tips for glowing skin in my quest. Here are three of my favourite skincare tips –

Use a gentle facial cleanser twice a day

Washing your face twice a day with a gentle facial cleanser is the first step in any skincare routine. You want to pick the right facial cleanser for your skin type so it doesn’t dry out your face or cause any breakouts. I have used a few cleansers and I have found that the more gentle the facial cleanser, the better it is for my skin. Vegan formulas are the only skincare products I use, so the gentle facial cleanser has to be Vegan friendly for me to try it.

Exfoliate at least once a week

When it comes to exfoliating, I usually aim for once a week. I know many beauty pros recommend exfoliating three times or more a week, but that sounds like a lot. My skin is quite sensitive and can be prone to breakouts sometimes, so I am always really careful with skincare treatments. Exfoliating more than once may be right for your skin but just be careful not to over exfoliate so as not to damage your natural skin barrier.

Use a toner twice a day

Using a toner every time you cleanse is important. Toners keep the skin hydrated and also aid the absorption of facial creams, moisturisers and serums. As always, I opt for toners with Vegan formula. I have recently discovered some amazing Vegan skncare products, and I will be sharing my thoughts on them soon.

Do you have any Vegan skincare brands you are into?
