Lets talk about it!
Do you really need a skincare routine? The answer is yes, even if you think you don't ..you do! Here's why, our skin is one of the first things people notice when they see us. It's literally part of our outfit. The part that's automatically there and honestly when our skin is glowing and supple everything else flows naturally. Having a skincare routine is about achieving and maintaining a beautiful complexion (I will discuss more on the exact routine and benefits in a future blog)... but if you don't already have one getting started now is essential and if you do already have one then you know exactly what I am talking about and chances are you are looking for another great product to add to your routine!
Our Skin is the Largest Organ of our bodies... Did you read that? OUR SKIN IS THE LARGEST ORGAN OF OUR BODIES. Just take a second and think about that? How could you not have a routine for your skin?? We have a routine for everything else right? So, if we thought of our skin as an organ and started treating it as such then the routine becomes a lifestyle!
So how do you get started? Well first off, just carving out about 30mins each day for your skin is a start this small block of time allows you to access your skin and respond accordingly. Secondly, using a great cleanser is a must in my book, remember our skin is an organ therefore, as close as we can get to natural product should be the goal. Try to stay away from harsh sulfates, parabens, or synthetic fragrances. I personally like charcoal, turmeric and aloe just to name a few natural cleansers! Third, exfoliating is necessary step that should not be skipped for supple skin and let me be clear WASHING YOUR FACE AND EXFOLIATING ARE NOT THE SAME ( I hope the people in the back can read that!! LOL) No, honestly at some point I have thought the same thing that if I'm washing my face then I'm exfoliating right and that's simply not true.. they serve two different purposes cleaning our face simply just cleans the surface and is a daily to do, while EXFOLIATING provides a deeper cleanse removing dead skin cells and is not recommended for every day. One of the next steps is MOISTURIZING, sealing in 30 minutes of work with a rich moisturizer is a real flex! It's like putting on your favorite accessories after putting on your outfit. Every skincare routine needs a natural moisturizer How intense your skincare routine gets is totally up to you and there are honestly far more steps than these mentioned. This mini guide is an everyday achievable do it yourself for beginners! I hope you enjoyed this blog and please share your skincare routine with me, give me feedback like are you a beginner and what are your favorite products to use!
