Why you would benefit from a skincare routine
Why you should care about your skin
So are you watching all these TicTok videos or realizing “holy crap! I’m freakin aging?” or maybe wondering WTF is retnoil and what’s this about shaving my face? Then left wondering what to do huh…yea we all go through that either very early on in life when we feel like we’ve been cursed with the worst skin and 12 years later you’re the one that knows exactly how your skin will react when you over exfoliate (ahem, yes that is totally possible) or you’re cursed now in your years past your teens and slathering this and that wondering why its not working or is it and how much is it??
Yup…welcome to the time you start to care about your skin. I know there’s various kinds of gals and guys, from those that love their routine and while others are like that’s TOO MUCH. I am just here to help you put it all together. Honestly the real true magic in skincare is being consistent. That’s it! Wish it was as easy writing it down or thinking about it as it is actually doing the work, however, I promise you once you DO Start you develop this thing that becomes a habit.
Now, this will not look the same for everyone because not everyone is the same, duh 🙄
I know
Your skin will change friends, just like the weather, just like your mind. The basic foundation will assist you with that and developing a relationship with your skin. You have done this before ok…like going to class and studying for the final, fitting into that dress so that you can look amazing for your birthday, planning your kiddos birthday party,,, where am I going with this? That you can totally figure it out your skincare needs. YES. YOU. CAN.
Heres literally the breakdown of a professional facial
1.Cleanse
2. Exfoliate
3. Mask
4. Hydrate aka Moisturize
Now, there are steps in between like extractions, professional peels, toners, or some cool tools plus a great facial massage tho these are the key steps and also the basic necessary skincare foundation.
Know that you do not exfoliate everyday, no girl! put it down!! You also do not mask everyday…
Pick a day for that and stick to it! Exfoliate and mask , same day, don’t make your life more complicated trying to go for another day to mask however you can mask more than once out of the week, yet make sure its balanced *(more on that later). So picking a day will make things easier for you. I always use Wednesdays as an example cuz it lands smack in the middle of the week and I never had much going on on a Wednesday. However the point is to choose a day you can commit to because if you leave it in the air saying ” ok, I gotta do that skincare thing this week”, the month may pass bye. Yes, I said bye cuz the week just peaces out and its now a new month and guess what you didn’t exfoliate or mask, oh my,
Great, now that we’ve established exfoliating and masking once per week to start let’s move to the consistently wins component.
Cleansing and moisturizing, this needs, yes NEEDS to happen every single night. You much think of it like washing the day away, this is super easy if you shower at night, you are already there! Start with warm water, you can double cleanse, super important especially if you were makeup or spend a great deal running around town or you are outdoorsy. And just like that we have established a skincare routine. TADA đź‘Ź
