What is skincare?

What does it do?

How does it benefit us?

When should we use it?


These are probably many of the questions you're thinking of right now, but don’t worry I’ll explain everything to you.


What is skincare?

Skincare is a practice and different products that

help keep our skin fresh and clean. It can enhance our

appearance, and help with skin conditions

and blemishes.


What does skincare do and how does it benefit us?

Skincare helps with reducing face blemishes, visible pores, under eye circles, acne, pimples, and more. But you may be wondering, how does all of this benefit us? Well, not only will it reduce face blemishes, it will brighten the skin and hydrate it. As we get older, our skin loses hydration, brightness, and collagen. All of these things are what our skin needs to look bright and hydrated, but you can have that even as you age with a skincare routine.


When should we use skincare?

If you ever want to see progress with your skin you have to be consistent with your routine, this means you're supposed to use your skincare routine 2 times a day, when you wake up in the morning, and when you sleep at night. To some people it may seem like a lot but, once you get used to it, it will be easy.


How can you have a good routine?

Number one is finding the right products for your face and skin, check the products you buy to see if they fit your skin type. If you have sensitive and delicate skin, it’s best to not use harsh products like scrubs and more. Number two is being consistent, don’t miss any of your daily routines, if you ever want to improve how your skin looks it’s very important to be consistent. Number three is making a routine, many people think that you need a crazy amount of products to improve your skin, this thought is what leads many people to not have a routine because skin care is expensive and people don’t want to spend a lot of money on that. But in reality, you only need 3-4 products, these products are super simple and you can get it at any local pharmacy. These products are Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer, and a scrub or facial mask.


Routine in order

  1. Cleanser

  2. Scrub/facial mask

  3. Toner

  4. Moisturizer
