Determine your Skin Type
One of the first steps to choose the products for your skincare routine is determining your skin type. Different skin types have varying needs that need to be met by skincare products. Oily skin type may be more concerned with mattifying ingredients, as opposed to the dry skin type that needs thick and rich moisturizers.
Skin types can be classified into the following:
⦁ Oily skin: looks shiny due to an overproduction of oil
⦁ Dry skin: with dry and flakey areas that may feel tight
⦁ Sensitive skin: with red and irritated areas that are typically painful to touch
⦁ Combination skin: a combination of oily and flakey areas
Finding the Right Spell to a Magical Skin
Every time you are looking for skincare products, remember the ground rule of CMS– Cleanser, Moisturizer, and Sunscreen. These three products are a must-have to begin your long overdue skincare routine.
Finding the right cleanser that suits your skin type like Minimalist’s Salicylic acid. A cleanser removes the dirt, oil, and bacteria that you come in contact with during the day, or at night while you sleep.
Moisturizers like Squalane by Minimalist are imperative when it comes to keeping your skin healthy and happy. Regardless of your skin type, it’s important to moisturize. Contrary to the popular belief, a lack of moisture can drive your skin to produce more oil in order to compensate for it, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.
There is a range of moisturizers containing SPF. This makes it easy for you to get the sun protection you need without buying more than one product. Whether you get your protection from cosmetic products or stand-alone sunscreens, make sure the formula contains board-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to ensure that you’re as protected as possible.
Patience
Don’t be discouraged if your skin doesn’t transform overnight with your new routine. For the most noticeable results, aim to follow your routine for at least six weeks. Keeping the prolonged damage and skin type into consideration, every skin responds differently to the products as it takes your skin to complete the cycle of renewing itself with new skin cells. Once this cycle is complete, you can begin to see the impact of the products you’ve been using.
Routine Enhancers
Peel masks and Acne treatments can also be added to enhance your skincare routine. Products like Benzoyl Peroxide 2% + Glycolic Acid 5% and AHA 25% + PHA 5% + BHA 2% peel by Minimalist have become the go-to products for people aiming for affordable and effective options.
At Minimalist, we understand how excessive skincare products can affect your skin, which is why we have come up with an affordable range of products that can, in turn, help people achieve their skin goals without burning a hole in the pocket. The products are fragrance-free and do not have any fancy additives that can make them costlier – a common trick many other skincare brands indulge in to price their products higher than required.
