As your trusted esthetician, I'm always looking for practical ways to help you achieve your best skin yet. Today, I want to share with you three uncommon skin care tips that you may not have heard before, and the best part is, that they don't cost a cent! These simple yet effective tips have been passed down through generations, and I'm excited to share them with you! Try one or all three and let me know if you notice a difference in your complexion and radiance!
1. Sleep on your back: Did you know that sleeping on your side or stomach can actually contribute to wrinkles and acne? The pressure and friction on your face can cause inflammation and irritation. Try sleeping on your back instead to give your skin a break and wake up with a smoother complexion.
2. Ice - Also called cryotherapy. To maximize the benefits of using an ice cube for your skin, try incorporating this refreshing technique into your daily skincare routine. After cleansing your skin thoroughly, grab an ice cube and gently rub it over your face, allowing the cool sensation to awaken your senses and invigorate your complexion. Standing over the sink is advisable, since the ice cube tends to melt rapidly, ensuring you don't create an unnecessary mess. Not only does this icy ritual hydrate your skin and affect pores, but it also aids in soothing inflammatory acne breakouts, providing you with a simple yet effective solution for achieving a healthier, more radiant complexion.
3. Product order matters- Applying your skincare products in the right order is not just about following a set routine, but also about maximizing their effectiveness. Did you know that the order in which you apply your skincare products can significantly impact how well they work? It's true! By understanding the importance of sequencing, you can ensure that each product is able to penetrate your skin and deliver its full potential. As a general rule, it is recommended to apply your products from thinnest to thickest consistency. This method allows the lighter products, like toners and serums, to be easily absorbed by your skin, preparing it for the heavier moisturizers or oils that come next. By following this order, you are giving each product the opportunity to perform its specific function and provide the desired benefits. So, the next time you embark on your skincare routine, remember the golden rule: thin to thick for skin that glows with radiance and youthful vitality.
I hope you found these tips helpful! As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your skincare routine, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
