How you should take care of your skin like a pro?
Five steps to follow:
- Cleanse
- Toner
- Serum
- Eye cream
- Moisturizer
Cleanse
Have you ever come across a post that talks about how women use different products to maintain their skin, but men use the same hand soap for everything – literally? This must stop! Hand soaps can’t be used as a face cleanser because they will cause dryness and irritation.
Make sure that you pick the right cleanser for your skin. In case you have sensitive skin, choose a product that says “gentle” or “cream”. In case you have oily skin, look for a gel formula. If you are dealing with acne, get a formula with salicylic acid.
Tone
Toning is a step that you mustn’t ignore, especially if you are dealing with acne, ingrown hair, and signs of aging.
For acne and ingrown hair, choose a toner with a high concentration of lactic or salicylic acid that comes combined with soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera.
You can apply the toner in two different ways. You can pour few drops of the toner on a cotton pad and press it gently all over your face. The other way requires no cotton pads, all you have to do is drop the toner on your palm and then tap it all over your face.
Serum
If you are asking yourself “What is serum?”, serum is a lightweight, quick-absorbing skincare product that contains a high concentration of active ingredients. They come in small bottles with a dropper, and you will need tiny-miny drops to treat your face.
Eye Cream
For those who are willing to take the skincare routine game seriously, eye cream is what you should include in your skincare game. As the skin underneath your eyes is the thinnest, applying gentle eye cream is nothing but a must to keep your that area healthy and protected.
Moisturizer
Get for yourself a moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated and protected from dryness. If you don’t apply sunblock, find a moisturizer with a minimum of SPF 30.
