Jul 30th, 2008 by Kurt Schmitt
Serious skin care products don’t have to be the most expensive, they just need to work. Don’t choose products based strictly on price, popularity, or advertising.
Below are 7 tips for making your serious skin care regimen work for you. Remember that your skin is unique, and what works for someone else may not work for you. You’ll have to experiment until you find the right routine.
1. Product selection — Choose your skin care products based on effectiveness, not advertising, hype, or price. Effectiveness is a matter of skin type, proper application, and even time of year.
2. Understand your skin — Since different products are designed for different skin types, you’ll need to know yours. Determine whether your skin type is sensitive, normal, dry, oily, dry, or combination.
3. Remove make up once daily — Clogged pores are a side effect of make up, so make sure to thoroughly remove it with a make up remover.
4. Thoroughly cleanse — It doesn’t do any good to apply quality skin care products to a dirty face. Cleanse your skin at least daily with an appropriate cleanser for your skin type. Prior to applying moisturizers, be sure to thoroughly cleanse your skin.
5. Use products correctly — Removal of make up and thorough cleansing, as well as ensuring that your skin is warm and damp when applying the product is important. Applying products correctly is important to the long term success of your skin care regimen.
6. Change is good — Well, sometimes change can be good. Skin types can change over time, and manufacturers may change their formulas. Even the weather can make a difference in the way that products interact with your skin. Be prepared to change products if needed.
7. Following directions — Your skin care efforts will be more effective if you follow the directions on the label of the product. Use and store your items as directed.
Experiment with various products and be willing to change if needed. Making your product choices by following the above tips will help ensure that you’re getting the most out of your skin care regimen.
