Skincare Basics for All Skincare Types

Why is skin care important? Because…

  • We all have skin!
  • Our skin is the largest organ in the body!
  • Due to environmental exposure, the face, neck and hands show age first!

What do I do? How long with this take? There are SO many options!

First, it’s important to know what you need and get a clear picture of your skin. Oily skin. Dry skin. Combination. Wrinkles. Blemishes. OH MY! A skin analysis can be great AND expensive! But I found this great tool from Mary Kay and it’s FREE!

Download the App. Take a selfie. Done!

Don’t panic! There will be a list of products that address your needs and issues, but it’s just a list of suggestions. Contact me if you need help!

There are peels and masks and serums everywhere. Regardless of your skin type, everyone should do three steps. Cleanse. Moisturize. Protect.

Cleansing is what washes away dead skin cells, oil and environmental pollutants. A gentle cleanser formulated for your skin type is best.

It’s important to cleanse twice a day because oil can build up on your skin even while you sleep!

Don’t stop with a clean face! Moisturizing is important and should always follow cleansing. Yes, even for us oily skinned girls! The RIGHT moisturizer is important.

A basic moisturizer can be used morning and night, but I prefer targeted moisturizer. One for daytime with an SPF and one for night with Retinol (fight signs of aging!).

And after all that goodness, don’t leave your skin unprotected! A foundation is necessary during the day!

There are many types of foundations at many price points. Pick one that meets your needs. And a tool (fingertips, sponges, brushes) can make a difference.

Consistency is the KEY! Products don’t work if you don’t use them and the sooner you can start, the better! Get a routine that works for you and stick with it!
