How To Make Your Skincare Work Better
Every year, billions of dollars are spent on skincare, so to avoid wasting hard earned money, it is so important to know how to make your skincare work better.
The most important tip, is to make sure that you exfoliate properly.
Not all exfoliants are made the same, some being quite abrasive and can actually do more harm than good.
Why exfoliate?
Skincare is designed to penetrate the top layer of the skin through the pores, with many having complex delivery systems to enable the ingredients to actively nourish and help with the stimulation of collagen and re-generation of skin cells.
Without regular and effective exfoliation, the pores remain blocked, rendering the skincare ineffective, with much of it remaining on the surface of the skin.
Your time and money is being wasted and the results will be minimal.
How do I know which Exfoliant is Best for me?
This will usually be found by trial and error. Particularly in the case of active skin, for example, those with acne will only exfoliate once or twice per week and with a product that is not too coarse and abrasive.
Once the skin is exfoliated, the treatments and moisturisers you apply afterwards, will be far more easily absorbed and a lot more effective.
While every other organ rests during our sleep, our skin cells go to work re-generating. They work their way up to the surface where they eventually die off. When we don’t exfoliate, the dead skin cells stay on the surface causing dullness and sign of ageing.
ASAP have released an amazing product called Liquid Platinum. It is an overnight regeneration treatment that brightens and refines your skin as you sleep. In it’s liquid format, it feels as gentle as make-up remover, yet this advanced home treatment gently dissolves dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production, while the low PH delivery system helps to increase the penetration of subsequently applied products.
The multi-action formulation also helps to:
- Lock in moisture by strengthening the skin’s barrier function
- Reduce the appearance of pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles.
- Firm Brighten and hydrate the skin
Remembering by also applying the following basic rules to complete the protection and anti-ageing process for you skin, this powerful product will leave your skin glowing, renewed and refreshed.
The first rule is to protect your skin from the sun. You only have to compare your skin on your stomach to that on your face to know this is true.
The harmful UVA and UVB rays cause damage to the DNA of our skin.
It is impossible to never expose our face to the sun, but it isn’t impossible to protect it by using moisturisers with SPF 50, mineral make-up containing zinc and staying out of the sun in the middle of the day.
Next we need to keep ourselves well hydrated with lots or pure, clean water.
This will help to flush out toxins which can cause impurities on out skin, and keep new skin cells plump as they make their way to the surface, giving you a healthy, glowing look.
Diet and exercise play a big role in the appearance of our skin. Stick to fresh fruits and vegetables and leans meats. A little treat now and again is fine, but consuming too many sugary, fatty and highly processed foods will negatively impact the surface of the skin.
In order for our skin to have a constant glow and shine, exercise is vitally important. The more circulation we get, the freer the blood flows, carrying vital nutrients and oxygen to out cells. Avoiding smoking is a must and getting plenty of good sleep every night to ensure the regeneration of healthy cells.
