3 Easy steps towards Healthy Skin

             I know that skin care can be a very overwhelming routine to take on, so I just wanted to do a quick post to let you know what I think the 3 most important steps to great skin are.

            Step 1: Cleanse – this is to be done on a daily basis, both morning and night, or if you’re really crunched for time, keep your cleanser in the shower and wash your face there as part of your daily routine. Ideally you should be doing a double cleanse. The first to remove make up & product (to prep the skin), the second is to actually cleanse the skin free of dirt and oils.

            Step 2: Exfoliate – this is to be done on a weekly basis. Depending on the brand and type of exfoliant, 1 – 2 times a week is plenty, as you don’t want to irritate the skin or thin it out too much. Adding this step alone into your regime, I guarantee you will see a huge improvement in clarity and texture, leaving your skin fresh, refined and glowing J

            Step 3: Moisturize – this is to be done on a daily basis, both morning and night. Either following your cleanse or after you’ve exfoliated your skin. Your morning moisturizer should contain SPF to protect your skin from UV Damage. I say a minimum of SPF 20 for the face as it is always exposed.

            Easy as pie! Once you’ve mastered these steps then we can start introducing other products into your skin care regime J
