To keep your skin fresh and radiant, a comprehensive approach to skin care is important. But there are some components that can significantly help with this. The main thing is to use them responsibly so as not to turn your beauty routine into torture.
Three Important Reminders Before Use
Allergy test
If you add a new product to your regimen, especially one with active ingredients, do an allergy test. To do this, apply the product to the inside of the elbow and wait as long as the product is usually on the skin – all day or all night. Dermatologists advise Test the product this way for 7–10 days. If there are no negative reactions, you can try applying the product to your face.
Graduality and regularity
You should not urgently include all the new components that you have learned about in your care. This will make it harder for your skin to get used to the ingredients, and you won’t be able to track the results and determine which product is suitable and which is not. Introduce new components into your care gradually and regularly. When the skin has adapted and you notice the effect, you can add something else if you want.
Everything has its time
Active components can accelerate skin cell renewal and enhance microcirculation. Because of this, the skin condition may worsen in the first two to three weeks of use. Unplanned rashes appear, and sometimes dryness and flaking. This is a normal process during which the skin gets used to the new component and renews itself more actively.
So if you notice a deterioration in the condition of your skin, do not rush to throw a new jar. It is worth waiting a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a month, to see the result. But if you are still concerned about your skin condition, consult a dermatologist. Those with sensitive skin should be especially attentive to the reaction.
Sanskrin always
Some active ingredients increase skin photosensitivity. If you do not use sun protection, age spots and sunburn may appear on your face. Even if you have never been sunburned, and your tan has always applied perfectly. Skin photoaging may increase. Therefore, it is always important to remember to wear sunscreen.
What ingredients to look for in skin glow products
Niacinamide
This is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3. Niacinamide relieves itching and irritation, makes the skin less sensitive, fights with pigmentation and improves general skin condition. It also enhances collagen production, moisturizes and can protect from the negative influence of sunlight.
Products with niacinamide advise to choose at a dosage of up to 10%. It is better to be careful with higher content: the product can cause redness and allergies, especially in sensitive skin.
