Important Steps In Every Skincare Routine

An important skincare step is to lock in all of your skin care products with an occlusive skincare product. The goal is to lock everything in with a moisturizer, but what we really start to learn is that it can be very confusing to say you always have to use a moisturizer. The reason for that is because sometimes creams can be occlusive, sometimes you need to use a good face oil. This is what somebody would like to use instead of a moisturizer. It’s not my preferred choice to lock everything in with oil, but sometimes that’s what some people like.

 

Sometimes it can be a sunscreen the acts as a moisturizer as well so what I’m really saying is you just want to make sure that you’re creating a barrier that keeps everything in place. The way to think of it is that you’re trying to lock in your hydration that you have on your skin. This is a good way to fight crepey skin as well. There’s a lot to talk about that, there’s a big difference between hydration and moisture for your skin. Make sure you don’t use retinol or bakuchiol when going into direct sun.

 

You need a combination of these two things, so you know, the simplest way to do with skin care routine is to wash your face and then put on moisturizer or a moisturizing sunscreen. And that’s really the basis of a good skin care routine for when you’re adding it anything else like even if it’s just a hyaluronic acid serum that is considered high operation for your skin, I think it is like water for my skin. And sometimes it’s literal water. If you just wash your face and you need to put something else on the really wet face, you’re trying to do is lock that water into place you don’t want it to evaporate that’s the easiest way to think of it if you let that water evaporate off of your skin that’s what leads to the dryness that you get with your skin. So, if you just want to make sure you’re locking that hydration in, mix that water with something that’s occlusive.

 

Are the next tip is also really simple one and that’s don’t forget your neck and your hands and honestly I always say don’t even forget your chest all the way down to your nipples. The way to think of it is your face starts at the top of your forehead and ends at your nipples.
