For most people, the world's current situation is terrifying, and not the way they decided on spending the beginning of a new century. Well, for a lot of people, the turn of the year promised to be filled with adventures, destination travels, body goals, and skin goals.
Yes, for most, it leaned more on that last part, the skin goals. The whole of last year saw the comeback of most skincare enthusiasts, maintaining great skin, and showing off get epidermis. The sad fact about all the preparation for the new year was that no one was prepared for an indefinite lockdown.
Now, millions of people worldwide are stuck indoors, with little access to sunlight as they would receive daily. There is also limited access to the dermatologist or no access at all to that favorite skincare outlet down the road.
How then do we survive for as long as we would indoors while still maintaining a proper skincare routine? What are the hacks we could use to keep our skin radiant while adhering to the health guidelines of staying indoors? This article would give tips and advice on how you can maintain that skincare routine, and slay those skin goals when the lockdown is over.
Develop A Strict Skincare Routine
The first step to maintaining a proper skincare routine is by having a proper skincare routine. Ok, you probably got lost there, how about this? To maintain that proper skincare routine, the first step to achieving that is to have a strict routine that you would follow like clockwork.
Most people complain about how they end up not having the skin they want, after following a specific skincare routine, but they never mention the few guidelines that were broken or that makeup-baked face they took to bed. These little inconveniences that we allow are what make the recurrent skin complaints always pop up in our heads.
Maintaining that proper skincare takes the determination of a climber aiming for the top of Everest. There might be a lot of challenges along the way, but they remember that the summit is the final goal, the ultimate skin goal. If the set-out routine is strictly adhered to, then you can be certain of a proper skin condition, come rain or shine.
Also, another point has to be made concerning maintaining a proper skincare routine, which is, having a proper skincare routine. A whole load of people try to maintain what is not a proper skincare routine and then complain about not having good skin. Now you see, two sets of people are complaining about not getting the results, both by doing the right thing through the wrong route. In the following section, we would fix the issues of the latter and clear the air on how a proper routine should work.
Clockwork Routine
For most people during this period, the first thing they do after waking up is to pick up their phones, grab a bowl of cereal and spend the day doing the same thing they have done for the past months.
If you notice, most people probably wouldn't think about skincare, like what is that, but then complain about not getting the glow. To fix this, we would help our readers with a clockwork routine for their skincare, and total adherence should provide the desired result.
Morning o’clock
This routine would handle how to adhere to your morning skincare routine. Now, this time is a moment when you need to be gentle on your skin, and be tender with the way you handle it, so don't go all have to go all brute force with cleansers and the like. The first thing to do is wash your face with mild water, a soap that works well with your skin should be perfect for the job.
Once your face is properly washed and allowed to dry off by itself, apply your skincare products. Most people make the mistake of wiping their face with a towel and then applying moisturizers. That's a very wrong move to make as the work of moisturizers is to seal in the moisture, and help improve moisture production.
However, before you apply your moisturizer, make sure you apply your skincare products immediately after you wash your face. This gives the products chance to enter through the open pores from washing.
Applying moisturizers should be the next thing, as they can determine how well your skin performs under certain conditions. On a good day, those days when you get to go out, sunscreen should be applied at a mild amount. You can then go onto the other face routine you take, such as makeup or the like. Note, a primer gives your skin an added advantage when you constantly make use of cosmetics.
Night o'Clock
It can be tough at times to keep up with skincare routines that involve timely participation, especially at night. However, remember the goal is to get perfect-looking skin, and sleep or tiredness shouldn't get in the way.
The first thing to do is get rid of the grit and grime accumulated by your skin, a light shower should do, but the removal of cosmetic products using makeup removers should be the first thing. A makeup remover would properly remove all makeup material from the face without failing at wearing out the skin.
Once your face and skin have been properly rid of the grit and grime, you can then go on to apply your skincare product, just as in the morning. This application would give your skin more time to absorb and work with the components of the products. Other products with Peptides can really come in handy at times like these, as they help rejuvenate cell renewal.
Finally, Moisturize that skin after all the washing and applications. This can be very funny to some because they wonder what's the need to moisturize at night. Moisturizers help with skin hydration, so using them at night would help boost your moisture production levels, which would, in turn, provide great skin.
In Conclusion
It can be hard to maintain a proper skincare routine, but if you consider it from the standpoint of feeding your skin, you would have more vibe to follow through with the procedure. Skin exfoliation can also be a very good way to maintain and improve your skin's general outlook. Proper care for your skin has its bonuses, and having radiant skin is going to leave you feeling proud of yourself. So, try as much as possible to maintain a proper skincare routine.
