Hey there! Are you looking to get into skincare and maintain a consistent routine for healthy skin? You must be confused by the countless options out there and don't know where to start?
Don't worry, Laksha Care has got your back! Here is a simple skincare routine for absolute beginners, so that you can start your skincare journey today, and get closer to glowing, healthy skin!
Before we begin, it's important to understand your skin type. You could have oily skin, dry skin or a combination of both. This is imperative to know because, you will pick products based on your skin type to suit you best. Also, before applying any new product to your face, please do a patch test on the back of your hand. This can be done, by applying a small amount of product on the back of your hand and waiting to see if your skin reacts to the contents of the product in a negative way. If everything is okay in a few minutes, you're good to go. However, if your skin starts to itch, or turn red, or break out into hives or rashes, this product might not be for you. You might be allergic to a certain ingredient, so it's best to avoid the product and use something else.
So, let's get into the routine!
Step 1:
Cleansing
You have to start with cleansing your skin, i.e. washing your face. A gentle cleanser that removes oil, dirt, and make up. Cleansing is an essential first step because it keeps your skin clean and prevents clogged pores. As a beginner, it's best to opt for a mild hydrating cleanser.
Step 2:
Moisturizing
After cleansing, you have to apply a moisturizer on your skin. This ensures that your skin is hydrated and prevents dryness. Moisturizing also helps maintain your skin's moisture barrier. Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to add to your routine.
Step 3:
Sun Protection
Sun protection is an absolute essential part of skincare and should not be skipped. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, with a minimum of SPF 30 as the last step of your skincare routine. Apply the sunscreen a few minutes before stepping out into the sun and reapply it after a few hours to ensure protection from sun damage and aging. Go for non-greasy sunscreens that don't leave too much of a white cast.
And that's it! It's a simple but highly effective 3 step routine you can use as a stepping stone to healthy and glowing skin. Remember to be consistent with your routine and maintain a healthy lifestyle over all - such as sleeping on time, exercising and drinking lots of water for the best results.
