To achieve a guaranteed flawless even toned skin that won’t require foundation lies on right ingredients, products and tools to transform your skin. In today’s article we will be looking into a few beauty hacks to help us achieve that skin goal we set, be it tackling redness or wrinkles even dark spots these hacks surely guarantee a good skin that does not require makeup.
Strengthen Your Skin Barrier:
The pillar of a good clear skin rests on the use of good collagen actives. Collagen is known to strengthen skin elasticity hence a youthful skin. Collagen is a protein responsible for the structure of the skin and there are many skincare ingredients that can be used to stimulate its production on the skin. Think of the use of retinoids – although recommended to be used at night due to the fact that it makes the skin to be sensitive to UVA/UVB rays, Vit C is another collagen stimulant on the skin, the use of LED light therapy, and peptides.You’re most recommended to use these products in serum form so as to penetrate into deep layers of the skin to treat the skin at a cellular level.

Be Consistent:
Consistency is the key to even flawless skin, use the same products regularly to see if it works – you are most recommended to use multi-tasking products as they work to treat multiple layers of the skin. Another non-negotiable product must-have when we talk of consistency, will be sunscreen- this is important as it prevents DNA damage to the skin. The causes of the most damage to skin is from sun exposure i.e premature ageing, fine lines, wrinkles, compromised skin barrier, dullness, dryness, over production of oil etc You are most advised to use a minimum of SPF30 whether in chemical or mineral formula and to be used along with skincare products that are high in antioxidant e.g Vit C. Finally stick to what you can afford as this will help your to keep consistent.

Target Your Skin Concerns:
Focusing on area of concern can go a long way to achieve a calm, even and clear skin, for example if your goal is to tackle redness then you’re most advised to go for nourishing barrier boosting/protective ingredients like ceramide, niacinamide. peptides, hyaluronic acid etc. They will strengthen and repair your skin barrier function and do not focus so much on high percentage of active ingredients in a product but gentle formula that has enough concentration for optimal performance and result. For break outs LED light therapy is most recommended, it is a power house for treating and preventing breakouts – the blue light kills the acne bacteria and purifies the lining of the pores to prevent breakouts and dark spots. The red is great for wrinkles and more.The use of vitamin c serum will treat hyperpigmentation.
