1.Customize Your Skincare Routine: We all have different skin types so starting your skincare routine knowing your skin type and what products will work on your skin type matters. Our skin changes with seasons, with hormones and age, it makes sense to have a flexible routine to adjust to all these changes. As you customise your routine it’s also good to consider skincare products that will strengthen, protect and intelligently treat the skin. Considering advanced technologies in your customisation is also advisable – try laser treatments, micro-needling, ultrasound and trilift. These tools are known to tighten, tone facial muscles and of course along with your moisturisers, and serums.

2. Go With Your Flow: In any skincare routine we all want to achieve firmer, toned, and brightened skin but the pace and consistencies it requires has to go with your flow. For example, if you prefer to carry out your skincare routine in the night then that’s your flow – follow it. Think gentle cleansers. moderate active acids, serums, SPFs, and of hydration! hydration! we can’t over stress a good lightweight moisturiser to plump and hydrate the skin. For celebrities who prepares for red carpet of course a well lifted, toned, firm, and brightened skin is always the goal, so to avoid downtime the use of advanced technologies like trilift, and high-performance actives like peptides, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid are most recommended. as they give instant result.

3. Don’t Over Cleanse: When you cleanse, you’re most advised to cleanse with caution as over cleansing is the major cause of skin sensitivities, dryness and dullness, stick to gentle and effective cleansers that nourish, hydrate and cleanses without stripping the skin barrier. Cleansers can come in form of lotions, gels, balms, etc. The best cleansers should not be full of high concentration of AHAs, glycolic acid or lactic acid, if in need of exfoliation 3 times a week will be all you need.

4. Invest In Good Actives: While it’s not recommended to use high concentration of actives in your cleansers you can use it on its own at a different step in your skincare routine. This is the most effective way to make your skin product work without over doing it. The best actives to look out for will be peptides and acid, peptides are known for stimulating collagen and elastin on the skin for a youthful glow while acids are chemical exfoliant responsible for buffing off dead skin cells on the skin.

5. Be Smart With The Use Of SPFs: SPFs are great defence against premature ageing and lack of use of them can cause DNA damage to the skin which can make it difficult to recover from. More so, SPFs are not only known for when out in the sun anymore, you’re most recommended to use while indoors – as long as it’s day time please slather on your SPFs lavishly. Another good tip to hold on to with regards to SPFs is to start young, a skin that that holds its youth at later year has been looked after when young. Avoid too much sun exposure wear your SPFs to protect you from UVA and UVB rays i.e winter or summer. Start with SPF30 to SPF50
