Before school, I didn't know much about skin care. I did the bare minimum, washed my face with any cleanser, moisturized, and used sunblock when I thought about it. I battled with dry skin, monthly breakouts, and pimples that would take forever to go away. Although, after receiving the education, treatments, and the right products I can now say that has all changed for the better.
I look at skin care like I do with brushing my teeth and taking a shower, it's needed, its hygienic but also personal. Remember, your journey can be different than mine and others so try not to compare. Also, we are forever changing so it's important that you pay attention to you and your needs so you can adjust when needed.
To get started on a skin care routine here is what you should keep in mind.
Proper skin care combines several elements that together result in healthy glowing skin. These elements include:
A good home care regimen
A well-balanced diet
An adequate intake of water
Limited exposure to the sun
Regular exercise
Sufficient rest
Use of professional skincare products
All of that above will show in your face and the rest of your body. Don't strive for perfection but your health is priceless so do your best daily.
Keeping the skin in good condition is supported by 4 steps:
Cleansing
Toning
Moisturizing
Protecting
We will dive deeper into each of those steps in future posts.
Where ever you are with your skin I want you to remember... aging is beautiful, acne is normal, and your skin is you so LOVE IT & take care of it. Skin care is self-care.
