Cultivating Daily Home Care Tips

Tips for Choosing the Right Skincare Products.

From fancy creams and serums to masks and ointments, selecting skincare products can seem overwhelming, especially when you don’t know what you’re looking for or where to start. Your skin is as unique as a fingerprint, and caring for it means learning how to build your own routine with the right products to support your skincare goals. 

CLEANSE

 Use these tips to get started.

No matter what type of skin you have, you should choose a basic cleanser that doesn't strip your skin. You may not think about it, but your skin accumulates dirt, bacteria and other pollutants throughout the day. A good cleanser removes built-up oil, dead skin cells, and other impurities and leaves your skin feeling fresh. 



TREAT

A go-to daily treatment to address your skin's most pressing issue is a must. Whether you're after anti-aging or looking to fade discoloration, investing in the daily health of your skin is money well spent. The ingredients to look out for depend on your skin's primary problem areas. For instance, if wrinkles are a concern, chose products that contain anti-aging all-stars like alpha hydroxy acids. These compounds smooth fine lines and help restore your skin's youthful appearance.

HYDRATE

Well-hydrated skin not only looks more plump, vibrant and healthy, it's more resilient to issues like wrinkles. Hydration does not come from moisturizers, it comes from a healthy skin barrier. Skin Barrier Function is vital in correcting skin weakness, sensitivity and hydration. Moisturizers can block natural skin hydration and also block the absorption of key treatment products. 

PROTECT

From sun damage to extreme humidity, mother nature can wreak havoc on your skin. Weather can not only make your skin appear dull and lifeless, but may also irritate skin sensitivities and cause damage that accelerates aging.

No skincare regimen is complete without a product to protect your skin from the elements of the daily grind. Fail-safe ingredients like antioxidants and essential fatty acids help your skin remain radiant day in and day out. A broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher is essential.
