As make our way through the first month of 2022, we want to share with you 5 healthy skincare tips you should resolutely add to your daily routine. It's important to have a solid skincare routine in place to maintain healthy skin and protect yourself from free radicals. However, these are some simple steps you can adopt today to make your routine even better in the new year.
One: Drink Water
Staying hydrated is the most critical step you can do for maintaining healthy skin. Water supports your body's integumentary system, the system that contains your largest organ, your skin. With your body having more than two-thirds of water, not drinking enough won't allow your body to keep your skin healthy.
Ways you can stay hydrated are by drinking more water, using a humidifier in your home, or ending your skincare routine with our facial serum to lock in moisture.
Two: Gentle Exfoliation
Exfoliating your skin is something you should be adding to your skincare routine. Exfoliating can prevent acne breakouts, unclog pores, and help even your skin tone. When you exfoliate by using Essance Clarifying Cleanser you are bringing about smoother, clearer-looking skin results.
Three: Mask up once a week or twice a month for sensitive skin
Face masks help your skin absorb more nutrients than usual as you are letting the Essance stay on your face longer. Deeper hydration is achieved, which results in more dewy and supple skin.
We have four masks to choose from; pumpkin, alfalfa, dragon's blood, and charcoal. The best time to use them is after washing your face, and remember to spritz your toner after you wash away the mask.
Four: Wear SPF (Sun Protection Factor)
Wearing sunscreen is one of the best ways to protect your skin from early signs of aging and particular skin diseases. However, sunscreen alone shouldn't be your only strategy of protection. Wearing sun-protective clothes and avoiding long periods of sun exposure all contribute to maintaining healthy skin.
Five: Use a planted based skincare
Plant-based skincare will help you protect your skin from harmful chemicals and give you added peace of mind. With more research showing dangerous side effects from chemical-based skincare, a plant-based option is a way to go and it's sustainable for the planet that we call home.
All our products are made fresh with purely organic plant ingredients, 100% animal cruelty-free, and vegan at Essance Skincare.
