4 Skincare Questions You’re Too Afraid to Ask

When it comes to skincare everyone has an opinion and sometimes all we need is a straight answer. What if your question feels embarrassing? Here at SkinBase we like to offer solutions. Here are the answers to 4 skincare questions you might be too nervous to ask.  Can I skip moisturiser if I have oily skin?  No! Everyone needs to moisturise. Pick a lightweight moisturiser (with SPF for a dual action and less product on your face). If you don’t moisturise your skin will show it. Lack of moisture contributes to excess oil production and causes clogged pores. This leads to more breakouts. A good moisturiser hydrates and forms a protective barrier. It also gives skin a glow and keeps skin supple. The SkinBase Daily Repair and Protect moisturiser with SPF is a great choice, and provides optimal protection with added Argan Stem Cells and Vitamin E. Shop it here. Do I really need SPF every day?  An incredibly common skincare question – yes you do! UV radiation is always present so you must always protect yourself. Even indoors or outside in the middle of winter SPF is essential.  Not wearing SPF every day puts your skin at risk of premature ageing, pigmentation and even skin cancer.  Does picking my spots help them clear up more quickly?  No! Picking spots can worsen the problem. Bacteria can be pushed deeper into the skin. This will cause inflammation, swelling and redness. Resulting in permanent scarring and discolouration – and even more spots. When…

No! Everyone needs to moisturise. Pick a lightweight moisturiser (with SPF for a dual action and less product on your face). If you don’t moisturise your skin will show it.

Do I really need SPF every day? 

An incredibly common skincare question – yes you do! UV radiation is always present so you must always protect yourself. Even indoors or outside in the middle of winter SPF is essential.  Not wearing SPF every day puts your skin at risk of premature ageing, pigmentation and even skin cancer. 

Does picking my spots help them clear up more quickly? 

No! Picking spots can worsen the problem. Bacteria can be pushed deeper into the skin. This will cause inflammation, swelling and redness. Resulting in permanent scarring and discolouration – and even more spots.

When should I start using anti-ageing products? 

The earlier you start a regular skincare routine the better. The best time to start with anti-ageing products is in your late 20s. That’s when most people begin to see wrinkles as collagen production starts to decrease. Prevention is always better than cure. A good skincare routine in your teens and early 20s will slow down any visible signs of ageing. This should include cleansing, toning and moisturising. Never forget your SPF.

Never feel too embarrassed to ask what might feel like awkward skincare questions. The chances are many other people want to ask the same thing!

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
