The Secrets to Radiant Skin: 5 Tips to Include in Your Routine
Skincare routine tips are essential for maintaining healthy and radiant skin. In this guide, we’ll share five easy steps to elevate your skincare game! A few small changes in your habits can sometimes make all the difference. Here are a few tips that your skin will thank you for 😉
1. Start by Washing Your Hands Properly
This is a daily habit we often forget before starting our skincare or makeup routine. Yes, washing your hands before applying products is a crucial step, especially when certain products require application with your fingers. Before applying face cream, BB cream, or even doing your makeup removal routine, it’s vital to have clean hands to prevent bacteria from transferring to your skin. This helps minimize impurities on the skin’s surface and prevents potential infections.
And once you’ve used your products, remember to close them properly to prevent them from drying out or collecting dust.
2. Don’t Forget Your Accessories!
For makeup enthusiasts, whether beginners or professionals, brushes, makeup sponges, spoolies, and other accessories are invaluable but often neglected.
Since they come into contact with our skin and are usually left out in the open or in a makeup bag, residue and impurities accumulate over time, which can cause skin reactions! To avoid this, clean them at least once a week. It’s also recommended to clean the bag or storage space to ensure everything stays hygienic. Clean accessories not only help preserve your makeup but also prevent introducing bacteria or impurities to your products.
For fans of reusable cotton pads, which are great for the environment, make sure you have enough in stock to rotate while washing each pad after use.
And speaking of accessories, don’t forget to clean your hairbrush regularly to keep your scalp healthy and prevent grease buildup. You can clean it once a week alongside your other tools.
3. Use a Special Face Towel!
Even if used on clean skin, bath towels can be breeding grounds for bacteria. They’re constantly exposed to bathroom humidity and pick up product residues from the shower. This can lead to irritation or even breakouts—issues we’d rather avoid! Use a towel dedicated solely to your face and wash it regularly.
For the gentleness your face deserves, opt for a soft microfiber towel. This material absorbs moisture well while drying your skin more delicately than traditional towels, which can become rough after multiple washes.
Most importantly, pat your face gently instead of rubbing, it’ll thank you 🙂
4. Double Cleansing
A long-standing practice from Japan, yet still under appreciated around the world, is double cleansing!
This method offers several benefits for the skin: it perfectly preps the skin for treatments, suits all skin types, promotes cell regeneration, and helps prevent premature aging. Here’s how to do it properly:
Step 1: Remove makeup with an oil-based cleanser
Makeup, sebum, and even pollution residue are oily substances that an oil-based cleanser can effectively remove from the skin. For example, our cleansing balm attracts all impurities and makeup residues, leaving your skin perfectly clean.
Step 2: Cleanse with a water-based product
After removing impurities, finish cleansing with a rinsable product, like our cleansing oil for face and body. With its physiological pH (the same as your skin), it cleanses gently, even for sensitive and reactive skin.
5. Purify Your Skin with a Toning Water
How can we talk about makeup removal without mentioning toning water? This step is ideal for perfecting makeup removal. It helps eliminate lingering impurities and traces of pollution thanks to its negative ions, which attract and capture dust on the skin’s surface.
After washing your face with tap water (often full of drying calcium), this precious water spray also soothes and protects your skin from dehydration. Prepping your skin this way ensures that the products you apply afterward will be absorbed more effectively.
