The secret to good skin can never be over emphasised, it might sound like a song to everybody’s ear but the truth is having the best complexion is the secret to any good look. You can put on the most expensive outfit yet look unkept due to dehydrated and malnourished skin, on the other hand, you can keep your focus on your skin and put on the least expensive outfit and look the bomb. I still don’t think many knows the value to having a good skin, until when compared to someone who does.
Good skin comes from healthy living and good hydration, once you are able to get a hang of these two, then achieving these secrets below will be effortless. So the question is what are the secrets to a great skin?
Be Diligent To Your Night Time Routine: Night times are known to be the best time to treat and repair your skin because you are more relaxed at night and most product thrive in a relaxed environment, in fact it’s been scientifically proven that up to 62% of products thrive on skin during night time. Avoid going to bed without cleansing your skin, and apply your moisturiser and facial oil lavishly, this will allow your skin to hold on to moisture for a long time because as good as night time is for relaxed skin it is also a time where skin losses its moisture. Tip? Focus on protecting the skin in the day and repair at night.
Keep Focus On Your Need Not Others: To achieve a success in your skincare goal, you must learn to focus on your own skin needs and what products will help you to fulfil those needs. Don’t compare yourself to your sister or friend – just because a certain product work for them does not mean it will work for you. Get to know your skin, why does it get bad tempered every once in a while? what makes it thrive? good moisturiser for dry season?, a good aesthetician or dermatologist who can evaluate and recommend what your skin need?. The market is full of hundreds of thousands of products and most consumers are lost in that market because they don’t have a professional who can recommend the best products for their specific skin concern.
Be Consistent And Gentle: As much as it is good to look after the skin, learn to use effective products but gentle. Avoid over treating your skin, do not use products that will strip the skin of its goodness/nourishment. Let your skincare routine support your skin not damage it, layer on the products in the most effective way to keep the skin healthy (i.e. cleanser first then toner then serums and finally your moisturiser + facial oil). And learn to know that consistency is the key to a great skin – and it only make sense that whatever you want to keep consistent have to be affordable or if put in another word ‘fit budget’. Tip? when using lasers and peels to treat the skin learn to do them in autumn and spring not when the weather becomes harsh.
