7 Tips To Help You Simplify Your Skincare Regimen

Regular skincare allows your skin to recover and heal faster, making it stronger to resist various environmental factors that could potentially damage it. Most women think skincare regimen is complicated and requires a lot of time, but that is not true. This article will show you, how to simplify your own skincare regimen in order to accomplish more with less effort.

# Your Wrinkle Cream Should Multi-task

In order to get more out of your wrinkle cream, it should also be beneficial for other areas of your body where wrinkles can develop, like neck and chest, and not just face. Most women make the same mistake; they focus on the facial skin and neglect the delicate skin on neck and chest, where wrinkles can develop. Therefore, include your neck and chest into your daily routine.

# Use Products For Your Skin Type

Products for oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or normal skin, are formulated to address the needs of these skin types. Basically, if you use products made for different skin type, your skin becomes more sensitive and prone to redness, irritations, and other skin problems.

# Portion Control

According to Miami-based dermatologist Fredric Brandt, more is not merrier when it comes to skincare products. Over-applying products will not make your skin become healthier and smoother. Applying products with “heavy hand” clogs pores, and that is the last thing we want. Ideally, half a teaspoon of facial moisturizer or other products is enough for your face, and another half a teaspoon is enough for neck and chest.

# Skip Moisturizers That Only Moisturize

Moisturizers should do more than just retaining moisture in the skin according to Carl Thornfeldt, MD, a dermatologist based in Fruitland, ID. Regular moisturizers that do not offer rejuvenating effects only retain the moisture and do not offer other valuable benefits to your skin. Therefore, in order to simplify your skincare routine, look for moisturizers that provide rejuvenating and revitalizing effects that will hydrate your skin while making it look youthful.

# Ditch Cleansing Wipes

Why? Instead of cleaning your skin, they just smear bacteria, makeup, and other impurities onyour skin. In order to remove various impurities and prevent clogged pores that could lead to acne outbreaks, you need to remove makeup in an old-fashioned way followed by water rinsing action.

# Do Not Forget Sunscreen

Sunscreen is often overlooked and is used only in summer. However, you should use this product every day (regardless of the weather and season). Sun’s UV rays break down collagen in your skin and impair elasticity, that leads to the accelerated appearance of wrinkles and photo-aging. Applying sunscreen should be your last step of daily natural skincare routine.

# Apply Products In The Right Order

In order to get the most out of your skincare products and daily routine, you have to apply them in the right order. Products with thinner consistency should always be applied before creamier ones.
