A new year always brings the promise of new adventures, ideas and resolutions. Up your skincare game this year by setting yourself some beauty resolutions. It’s time to enrich your complexion with the very best skincare methods and products. Take some inspiration from our beauty resolutions list.
Establish a skincare routine
After the festivities of the party season, there has never been a better time to take care of your skin. The best method for restoring your complexion is by establishing an effective skincare routine. Start a routine by using a cleanser. Cleansing is essential as it eliminates traces of makeup, dirt, grime and bacteria – elements that contribute to the formation of spots. Follow up with a toner. Toning helps to remove any remaining cleanser as well as prepping your skin for remaining products. The next step is serum – a serum penetrates deeper into the skin than other products so it’s important to choose a serum tailored to your skin type. Finally, finish your routine with a moisturiser. All skin types require moisture, even very oily skin. Use a thick moisturiser for dry skin types to nourish your complexion and a light moisturiser on oily skin.
Don’t forget your eyes
The skin under your eyes is very thin so it needs careful treatment. Don’t forget to use a nourishing eye cream to help target fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles. Drink plenty of water to stop skin becoming dehydrated.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is crucial for removing dead skin cells that contribute to dull skin. A course of SkinBase microdermabrasion treatments is gentle enough for even sensitive skin types to use and it’s the perfect way to achieve luminous skin with minimal effort on your part. Microdermabrasion will exfoliate much deeper and more effectively than other exfoliating methods and a monthly maintenance treatment will help you to maintain the excellent results. Be warned, it’s addictive! Find your nearest SkinBase therapist to book your treatment.
