Getting facials has become one of my favorite routines. Over the past year, I’ve tried various facials and met many estheticians in the process. Usually during the facial, I try to pick the their brain and learn as much as possible during the session.
They all share great tips and here’s the best advice I got from an aesthetician recently.
Understand your skin type:
You need to understand your skin type and what it’s necessities are. You must evaluate whether your skin is dry, combination or oily. Learn the specifics of how your skin reacts. Is it sensitive or acne prone. The better you understand your skin type, the better you can treat it or take care of it.
Dead skin must go:
Exfoliating is the best way to remove dead skin cells. Finding a gentle exfoliator that won’t cause tears to the skin is the great. It will get rid of dirt and impurities that have gathered on the surface of your skin over time. Use chemical exfoliator pads like Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads which remove dead skin cells and resurface your complexion for a smoother appearance.
Protect, protect, protect:
Never forget to protect your skin, specially before you go outside. Never skip SPF which protects your skin from UV rays and helps you avoid dark spots, pre-mature aging and the chances of developing skin cancer.
Don’t neglect your eye and neck:
The eye and neck area are neglected often, we usually focus on our foreheads and cheeks. Use an under eye cream, apply products all the way to your neck. When outside wear a pair of sun glasses to protect your under eyes.
A serum can be your best friend:
A serum is powerful and can give dry skin a boost of hydration. Serums differ from moisturizers as they penetrate more easily and are more potent. Find out what your skin needs and this will tell you more about the type of serum to use.
