Skincare Solutions To Repair Rough and Damaged Skin
Thursday, August 31, 2017
With so many commitments
filling up our daily schedules, it's easy to start neglecting the seemingly
unimportant things like skin care. (As a beauty expert, this is quite the sin, I
know!) Skin care is VERY important, especially at the start of a new season as
weather can greatly affect the health of your skin.
From harsh environmental
pollutants to wild temperature imbalances and beyond, the skin absorbs all sorts of toxins and without proper protection, weakens in these conditions. In my case, it was prolonged sun exposure without proper recovery. At the start of this summer, I made my usual
skin product swaps which included a major upgrade in sunscreen, a lighter
moisturizer and a refreshing face wash. However, with the harsh heat and stronger
sun rays, my skin was starting to take a beating and I was just too busy to
care.
A huge mistake I immensely regretted. My skin had accumulated a disgusting layer of dead skin
that pushed my already oily skin into overdrive. It resulted in a
super oily mess that barely held on to any foundation (even with a strong primer) or cosmetics. I realized
my out-the-door, skimped skincare routine was not enough for all the sunscreen
and makeup I was layering on my skin. It was only when the texture of my skin visibly started
to look battered and blotchy that I started to take notice. Thankfully, these simple skin rules and superstar products reversed all that damage, repaired and restored my skin to its normal, smooth and radiant
texture.
EXFOLIATE
I can’t stress enough
the importance of a good exfoliation. Not only does it rid the skin of dry,
dead build up but really cleans the skin and gives it a proper, gentle buffing.
Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub has been a favorite of mine as it’s mild enough
for daily use and really gives skin a deep clean.
MASK
Detox, detox, detox! So
many factors contribute to congested skin and nothing properly remedies that
than an effective detox mask. So many toxins were hanging out in my skin causing
enlarged pores and rough, dull and oily texture. Thankfully Caudalie Instant
Detox Mask really pulled away the dirt and left my skin feeling refreshed
radiant and with visibly tightened pores.
Be sure to use a warm
damp muslin cloth (love Eve Lom muslin cloths, large and lasting!) to remove the mask as it’ll allow you to effectively remove
access dirt/oils and exfoliate simultaneously.
HYDRATE (facial oil)
An individual who has
oily complexion might think it’s absurd to apply oil to your skin but I assure
you, facial oils are easily one of the greatest skincare products. Thinner than
an actual moisturizer and more moisturizing (as I see on my skin), facial oils
evenly sink into skin and heal troubles in a soothing manner. Caudalie Overnight
Detox Oil not only repaired my overworked, damaged skin but made it smoother
and brighter with extended use. Best of all, its amazingly relaxing scent makes me feel like I just left a luxurious spa treatment.
Hopefully my skin care mistakes will remind you to make time for your skin. It is important to spend that extra 30 minutes or so every weekend to revive your skin and pay attention to its unique needs. A little time will lead to a more youthful and radiant appearance down the line.
