Do You Follow a Regular Skincare Routine?
Let's start with the basics—what is a regular skincare routine, and why is it important?
A consistent skincare routine involves cleansing your skin twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed—followed by applying a serum and a moisturizer. This basic regimen helps remove dirt, oil, and environmental pollutants, while nourishing and protecting the skin.
- Cleanser: This is the first step and should be used both morning and night. It removes all the things we do not want on our skin for a prolonged amount of time. It is also important to always remove make up and a cleanser should be used to do so.
- Serum: Applied after cleansing, serums are lightweight but powerful treatments that penetrate deeply into the skin. They're formulated with concentrated ingredients to target specific concerns like acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or dehydration.
- Moisturizer: Moisturizers help lock in hydration and restore the skin barrier. Every skin type can benefit from keeping the skin moisturized. Many modern moisturizers also contain SPF to protect against sun damage.
- Sunscreen: Even though you use a moisturizer with SPF it is recommended to use a standalone broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Why Is Healthy Skin Essential?
Just like you take care of your heart, lungs, or brain, your skin deserves the same attention—it's the body's largest and most visible organ. Healthy skin isn't just about looking good—it's about maintaining your overall health.
Here's why your skin matters:
- Protection: Your skin acts as a barrier, protecting anything from leaking out and protects other organs from free radicals and environmental toxins.
- Sensation: Skin is packed with nerve endings that allow you to feel touch, and pain
- Temperature Regulation: Through sweat glands and blood vessels, your skin helps regulate your internal body temperature.
The Bottom Line
Skincare isn't just about vanity—it's about health, prevention, and self-care. A simple, consistent routine can go a long way in improving your skin's appearance and functionality over time. It's good to have a regular routine of seeing an Esthetician. So the next time you consider skipping your skincare routine, remember: your skin is working hard to protect you—return the favor by taking care of it.
