Why a Daily Skincare Routine is Important?

The way you treat your skin now will contribute a lot to how it will look in 20 or 30 years down the line. Taking a couple of minutes every day is vital to the health and well- being of your skin in the long run. There are so many different ingredients and tools out there that are going to help with any skin issue. Finding the right routine and products for your skin type and skin concerns is vital. Here are some reasons why a you should take the time to follow a daily skincare routine:

SKIN SHEDS DAILY

The outer layer of our skin is constantly shedding and renewing itself. Sometimes, if we do not cleanse or take proper care of our skin, a layer of dead skin cell residue can be left behind and the newer skin can look dull, unhealthy and not vibrant. Using a cleanser that is right for your skin type can help you wash away the dead skin and will help you maintain your skin’s radiance that will help you look your best all year round.

STOP PREMATURE AGING

When we forget to use a toner or moisturiser on our skin for a few days, we can notice an instant change. The skin will look dry, lifeless and you start to notice a few fine lines forming. This is because there is no barrier between our skin and the atmosphere so our skin becomes dry and dehydrated. Using a good toner and moisturiser everyday can help you have youthful and glowing skin for a very long time. Taking a minute to moisturise can save you a lot of worry and stress in a couple of decades.

COMBAT SKIN ISSUES

A lot of us deal with annoying skin issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, flaky skin, scarring, the list goes on. Establishing a daily skincare routine targeted at solving these issues will help you say goodbye to bad skin and hello to great skin. Using products with the right ingredients for your skin concern will help you improve the overall look, feel and the health of your skin.

SAVES TIME AND MONEY

Taking a couple of minutes every day now, will save you a lot of money and time in the future. Healthy and vibrant skin will not require expensive, time consuming and painful procedures and treatments. For example, applying a good eye cream everyday will save you from getting under eye fillers to smoothen out wrinkles at 40.

Even though it seems like a big commitment to cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturise, protect skin every day, once it becomes a habit, you will never go back. Noticing a massive improvement in your skin will be motivating enough for you to stick to it.
