Performing some daily skincare routines can seem time-consuming, while others might not even seem worthwhile. But the fact is, there’s a skincare routine for everyone. You just have to know what products to use and how to incorporate a good skincare routine into your day. That might mean waking up a little earlier each day or making other concessions that help you give your skin the royal treatment day in and day out.
If you want beautiful, glowing, healthy skin that gives you the confidence you need as you age, keep the following in mind when choosing a skincare routine of your own.
Wake Up Earlier
If time seems to be the culprit, aim to wake up just a little earlier than you normally would. That way you’ll have time to get up and perform your skincare routine and still have time to do what you normally do in the mornings. Once you have a skincare routine down pat, time yourself. Then, you’ll know how much earlier you have to wake up each morning to get everything done on time and look good doing it.
Learn the Basics
Implementing a skincare routine for the first time can be a little overwhelming and sometimes pretty frustrating. But learning the basics is the first step to successfully getting on track with a skincare routine of your own.
The first thing you need to do is find a cleaner. Then, detoxify and balance your skin with a toner. Lastly, you’ll need a moisturizer to hydrate and soften your skin. Keep all of these steps in mind and you’ll have a youthful-looking glow as you continue to age.
Get Your Beauty Sleep
Getting enough sleep is another simple way to make your skincare a priority. Not getting enough sleep can lead to:
- Thinning hair
- Dark circles under your eyes
- Wrinkles and drooping skin (and an aged appearance)
- Bags under your eyes
- Breakouts
- Dehydrated complexion and redness
These are reasons enough to ensure you start getting enough sleep at night. According to WebMD, if you’re getting less than six hours of sleep a night, it’s most likely affecting your appearance.
Learn Your Skin Type & Find the Right Products
Not all products are going to work the same way for everyone because we all have different skin types.
Some people have oily skin, while others have dry skin. Oily skin is caused by an excess of oil production and causes greasy-looking skin. Dry skin is skin that’s rough or flaky and typically feels tight after it’s washed. Some people have combination skin — meaning areas of your skin might be drier than others. And others have sensitive skin, which means it could be more prone to burning, redness, or itchiness after using some skincare products.
Finding the right products is essential to implementing a skincare routine into your day. So if you don’t already know your skin type and have the right products, it’s time to start paying more attention to your body and searching for products that can help you. You could also try searching for products for all skin types. For example, using Rodan + Fields’ Redefine Anti-Aging Regimen is a comprehensive and convenient way to build a dermatologist approved anti-aging skincare routine into your day or night.
Washing Your Way to a More Youthful Appearance
Implementing a skincare routine into your day or night is essential to targeting fine lines and wrinkles, as well as for firming the skin. If you’re new to skincare, remember to start with the basics and work your way through the rest of the steps, such as finding the right products and learning your skin type. Then you’ll be on your way to a healthier, more youthful appearance.
