If you take care of your skin from your teens, you’ll reap the rewards decades later. Our easy at home skin care routine and product guide, um, guides you step by step from noob to skin-care diva to your best skin ever...
Let’s face it. Skin care can sometimes be a little tricky. How can you be sure you’re following the right routine with the best skin care products you need for your skin type? Should you be looking at ‘extras’ like exfoliators, serums and masks? And when should you start using anti-ageing moisturisers? (Spoiler: earlier than you think!)
Even if you are one of those very lucky few born with perfect skin, there are some simple skin care product basics that we should all build into our daily routine, and then know when (and how) to add other products to tackle specific skin care concerns.
First up, you need to understand your skin’s needs. While it makes sense for us to categorise our skin type as normal/combination/oily/ dry/sensitive, etc., it’s a rough basic guideline, which changes with other input – hormones, stress, illness, change of season and ageing can all cause changes to your skin’s basic condition.
For example, hormones can cause an acne flare-up, stress can cause dehydration and temporary irritation, a change of season means it can become drier in winter, and oilier in summer, so you need to adjust the texture of your product. And normal ageing means that your skin care needs are different in your teens, twenties, thirties and forties.
From this, you’ll understand that it’s not wise to just go for the same old skin care routine you’ve always used. Assess your skin’s needs every few months and add or adjust accordingly.
Our guide takes you from an easy at home basic step by step skin care routine that covers every skin type (and is ideal for beginners), shows you how to build up to the next steps, and finally covers an advanced skin care routine for the pros…
