To improve your skin care routine, here are these tricks

Dermatologists confirm that some simple adjustments made to your cosmetic care routine can make a big difference and transform your skin from good to radiant.

Healthy skin care does not require complicated steps as much as it requires thoughtful decisions based on real scientific understanding. Between what is popular and what is effective, the difference lies in the small details that can make a big difference. Learn below about tricks that help reshape your daily skin care routine in a smarter way with clearer results.

1- It is necessary to use clean hands or a clean cloth made of microfiber when washing the face, provided that it is also dried with a clean towel and without rubbing or pulling, to prevent breakdown of the collagen and elastin fibers that make up the skin tissue.

2- The ideal water temperature for washing the face is 21 degrees on the Celsius scale, so lukewarm water is most appropriate in this regard. It is recommended to use it instead of hot water, which removes natural oils from the skin, and cold water, which does not remove dirt well.

3- The lotion must be left on the skin for about 30 seconds before rinsing it off, in order to allow the active ingredients contained in it to remove remnants of oils, dirt, and makeup. This time can be used to apply circular massage movements to the skin in order to stimulate blood circulation.

4- It is necessary not to apply night care products directly before bed, in order to leave room for the skin to absorb them. It is recommended to apply these products at least 15 minutes before bed, so that they do not end up moisturizing the pillow instead of the skin.

5- Serums are a very effective way to meet the skin’s needs for nourishment and hydration, and therefore it is recommended to make them an essential component in your skin care routine. Vitamin C serum helps lighten skin tone while retinol serum softens it. The serum rich in hyaluronic acid helps moisturize it.

6- Adopting the rule of waiting for 30 seconds is necessary when applying several products on top of each other, so that this rule is applied when applying toner, then serum, then moisturizer, then sun protection cream.

7- To ensure the need to apply sunscreen, it is recommended to do the test of extending your hand at arm’s length from your face, whether you are indoors or outdoors. If you are able to see your fingers, this means that there is a sufficient amount of blue light or ultraviolet rays to cause damage. This means you definitely need to apply sunscreen.

8- Using products rich in hyaluronic acid is a necessity in any daily routine. This ingredient is able to attract and retain water to the skin, and also gives it fullness and freshness. It is recommended to use a serum or cream rich in this acid in the morning or evening before your usual moisturizer.

9- When starting to use products that contain retinol, it is recommended to choose types available without a prescription. This is with the aim of getting the skin accustomed to small percentages of it before gradually moving to using creams containing higher percentages of retinol, which are prescribed by a dermatologist and used under his supervision. As for acne and deep wrinkles, the types of retinoids prescribed by a dermatologist are the most appropriate in this area. It is recommended to start using retinol once a week during the first week, then twice a week during the following two weeks, placing it between two layers of the skin, allowing the skin to gradually get used to it.
