Get the best skin of your life no matter your age

Everyone wants to achieve the best skin they ever can no matter their age and we’re here to help you on your journey on this beauty holy grail.

When it comes down to it, it’s not down to sorcery or good luck, but simply down to good skincare habits to help you achieve the best skin you can and deserve to have.

#1 Apply products correctly

Using your products correctly is key to achieving great skin. If you have on makeup, it’s not good enough to clean with a facial cleanser. Instead a double cleanse is recommended, washing your skin once over with an oil-based cleanser followed by a regular cleanser.

This applies to the order in which you use your skincare in too. A simple rule to follow is to start with the product with the lightest, watery texture, usually your toner and ending off with a concentrated cream or even oil-based product. This ensures the ‘thicker’ product does not create a barrier for the ‘thinner’ products to penetrate your skin.

#2 Use Retinoids

Make Retinoids one of your best friends when it comes to good skincare. There’s reason why this ingredient is so popular and is commonly found in many antiaging products. A multitasking skin saviour, retinoids can get rid of pimples, smooth skin, improve wrinkles, fade hyperpigmentation and even brighten skin.

#3 Don’t be afraid of Acids

Acids can sound harsh but did you know when used in the right dosage can do a world of good for your skin? From exfoliating your skin to improving acne and evening out skin tone, a plethora of options abound when it comes to acid-based products for your skincare and for your skin type.

When in doubt, seek out the advice of a professional, such as a dermatologist or an aesthetic doctor who will helpfully point you in the right direction for the right type of acid to use for your skin.

#4 Have an aesthetic doctor on speed dial

We all can use with a little help sometimes and why not one we can trust our skin with? With the different laser tools and injectables at their disposable, they would be the best person to look for when acne or hyperpigmentation is getting you down. No one is born perfect but everyone has a choice to look better.

#5 Suncreen, sunscreen, sunscreen

All your efforts to attain perfect skin would be in vain if sunscreen is not applied religiously. Sun damage is the number one reason why our skin ages faster and looks uneven in skin tone. And did you know that sun damage occurs faster than we can repair it? Despite our best efforts in amping up on Vitamin C in a bid to repair sun damage, it will never be enough. In this case, prevention is really better than cure and be sure to have some on even if you’re in the confines of your home as the sun rays can still penetrate glass doors and windows.
