Skin Care methods based on research
Skin is the body’s largest organ on display and conveys a lot of innate signals and messages about our health, age, lifestyle and also has social implications such as attractiveness, attention and attitude. Several studies have shown the impact of skin problems on one’s self esteem and confidence levels.
Flawless skin is aspired by many but is largely achievable by taking good care of skin from an early age. It is important to follow the basic daily routine of cleansing, toning, moisturizing and using sunscreen to cleanse, restore and protect from the ill effects of the environment. When it comes using the right skin care, the skin type must first be identified so that the right skin care can be initiated. Oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, sensitive skin all need different type of actives and forms of products so they don’t aggravate the skin condition and can help the skin.
Cleanse, Restore, Protect:
Cleanse: The cleansing part of the routine is necessary to remove the dirt, excess sebum and makeup and is usually done with a facial cleanser. A cleanser with alpha hydroxy (AHA) or beta hydroxy acids (BHA) may suit those that have dull skin or acne. Exfoliation of the skin is often overlooked by many and is also one of the important skin care steps. However if you are suffering from acne and other skin conditions its often best to get them prescribed by a skin specialist. Exfoliation can be done by chemical means by using alphahydroxy acids but also by physical means by using exfoliating beads in the exfoliating creams. The toner helps to cleanse pores deeper to keep them cleans and thus helps in time to minimize them. It also helps to prepare the skin for the next step to apply the serums for absorption
Restore: The serums and moisturisers follow next to help restore, repair and hydrate the skin. The actives in these products may include actives such as Vit C, niacinamide, AHA, BHA, hyaluronic acid, retinol etc. The penetration and absorption of the serums is increased following skin procedures such as fractional resurfacing, peels, microdermabrasion. Tools such as home use dermaroller can also help to increase the efficiency of the serums by increasing absorption.
Protect: A sunscreen of SPF 30 or more is important to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. Wearing sunscreen is the single most important thing we can do to save ourselves from tan, pigmentation and early signs of skin ageing.
