What Are The Benefits of a Skincare Routine?
You know that post-facial glow that you wish you could bottle up and carry with you every single day? We know the feeling, and if you want our secret, it’s easier than you might think. It begins and ends with creating a skincare routine that meets your needs and doesn’t overwhelm you in the process.
How can your skincare routine create a positive shift in your skin health?
Every aspect of our health impacts another area, be it our physical, well-being, mental health, or otherwise. Being intentional about your skincare routine can create a positive shift in your skin health because it dedicates time to you.
Set your skincare routine up for success by building consistency
If you want to see results fast, no matter what your goal is, staying consistent is crucial to that transformation. As you practice your routine, your skin begins to anticipate consistent hydration, exfoliation, and protection from outside elements– helping your skin health to develop better functionality. Think about the way we function better after a rested, nourished day with a good night's sleep under our belts. It takes time to see results, but consistency is the fastest way to get you there once you have the right routine in place. And you will be surprised how quickly you start noticing positive changes!
A good moisturizer, exfoliant, gentle cleanser, and SPF are all you need to get started
When you’re building your skincare routine, especially if you have zero experience in that department, start off with the absolute basics to get a feel for building that habit every day. The good news is all you need to get started is a great moisturizer, exfoliant, gentle cleanser, and SPF. And keep in mind when you choose an SPF, you generally want to choose one that is separate from your moisturizer/foundation, otherwise the SPF protection you are getting will be diluted down.
Your skin will begin to absorb those nutrients at a deeper level thanks to proper exfoliation
As you introduce consistent cleansing, exfoliating, and other parts of your skincare routine, your skin will begin to absorb those nutrients to a greater depth. By exfoliating the superficial layer of your skin, you’re removing debris, dead skin cells, and lingering bacteria. You will also get the benefit of increasing the cellular turnover rate of your skin which will reveal younger looking skin.
The benefits of establishing your new skincare routine
Whenever you introduce a new routine into your life, it can be a little tricky to dial in your time management skills and still make time for meeting all of your other needs. Treating your skin the way you treat the rest of your body and health needs is a great way to reframe the essential nature behind taking care of your skin. And you will be surprised at how little time it actually takes to take care of your skin. Once you get the hang of how and when to use your products, it should only take you a few minutes in the morning and the evening.
You can expect your skin to be more predictable
One of the lesser discussed benefits of establishing a routine that your skin loves is how predictable it will become. You will notice that your skin is less sensitive and reactive. As you create more consistency in the way you approach your regimen, you’ll notice your skin shifting, as if you can count on its glow and radiance each and every day.
Your skin will have the extra support it needs to keep itself protected from free radicals and harmful sun rays
We could talk about skincare secrets all day, but without prioritizing SPF every single day, you will not see results. SPF is the best anti-aging product that you can use and protects your skin so the other products you use can be as effective as possible. The sun is essential for our overall health, but its harmful UV rays are like kryptonite to our skin.
Self-care will begin to look a little different, and that’s a good thing
With a hydrated foundation, your skin will begin to shift. You may notice your pores getting smaller, your skin looking more radiant, your makeup going on smoother, and on a cellular level, a faster rejuvenation rate.
What can a consistent skincare routine do for my skin on a cellular level?
It’s impossible to talk about skin health without mentioning the backend processes that our bodies use to create new growth. A consistent skincare regimen can even physically change the chemistry and biology of your skin.
Stimulate vital proteins that play a huge role in your skin cell turnover rate
Depending on your products, and with a little guidance from your esthetician, dialing in a new skincare regimen can actually stimulate vital protein production, increasing your skin volume and vitality.
Encourage new skin cells to grow on a healthy scale and cycle
These benefits can help lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen and elastin production and help your skin to feel and look as good as it ever has.
Promote anti-aging effects since your skin will have what it needs to feel and look radiant
With the jump in collagen and elastin production (which naturally slows down as we age), your skin will begin to recall its supple, natural state. And with consistent facials and guidance from your esthetician, you might just change the entire direction of your skin health.
See results quicker and save money
If you are currently not seeing results from your skin care routine, or if you would describe your skin as sensitive or reactive, it’s time to see an esthetician to get help with a customized skin care routine! The quickest way to see positive changes in your skin is by following a routine that is designed with your unique skin type and skin concerns in mind. So many people are using the wrong products, or even using the right products in the wrong way. Once you learn what products you should be using and how and when to use them, you will start to notice beautiful changes in your skin! This will not only help you get the results you have been wanting, but will save you time and money!
