Keep Your Skin Spa-Ready With These 4 Tips
The new normal amid a pandemic is forcing us to step outside of our typical routines and make do with what we have inside our homes. From Instagram live workouts to compensate for sessions with our trainers, to online cooking workshops to help recreate the feeling of trying a new dish at our favorite restaurants, we’ve found ways to keep our outside worlds alive from the comfort of our homes. So, for all my skincare fanatics, I’ve compiled a few tips below that’ll help keep your skin in good condition, in-between visits with your esthetician, or during a global pandemic.
1.Personalized Night Time Routine
Investing in a quality nighttime routine is the foundation for maintaining healthy skin. Our collagen production rises, cell damage reverse, and our overall skin renewal rate almost doubles at night. Taking advantage of our natural repairing, restoring, and regenerating system is the best thing we can do for our skin. Double cleanse with an oil-based cleanser, followed by a gentle non-abrasive cleanser. Apply toner to balance your skins PH. Protect your eyes with an under eye cream, then add your must-have treatment; serum, peels, retinol, etc. Finish your routine off with a night cream.
Always remember; don’t cheat yourself, invest in the product quality of ingredients not the price or name of it - your skin will thank you later.
2. Face + Eye Masks
Switch it up and give your skin some extra TLC with different face and eye mask combinations. The market is filled with hundreds of different face and eye masks, that all focus on a wide range of skin concerns. There are sheet, peel-off, clay, cream, gel, charcoal, and sleeping masks, so there’s a lot to choose from, making this is a fun way to try new products and effectively take care of your skin.
3. Tools
Face steamers, jade rollers, and ultrasonic wands are what I consider the holy trinity of-home skincare tools. Face steamers are a great way to open our pores and allow product to penetrate deep into our skin. Jade rollers are without a doubt heaven sent. They’re the perfect tool used to sculpt and tone while simultaneously boosting circulation, reducing puffiness and improving elasticity. If you care to take your at-home treatment a step further, I highly advise investing in the Vanity Planet ultrasonic wand for a deep skin penetrate using a high-frequency, ultrasonic technology and electrical muscle stimulation. Not only does it feel amazing but your skin will also have that spa-ready glow afterward.
4. Healthy Diet
You can’t hide a bad diet. Investing in a diet full of healthy fruits and vegetables will reflect on the appearance of your skin. Eliminate soda, sugars, and other processed foods from your diet - your skin will thank you later.
