On the daily, I work with women one on one to troubleshoot and understand their skincare and makeup. Most of the time we deal with makeup and why they cannot get the look they want from it. When it comes down to it, we always have to ask ourselves “what condition is the skin in?” If you are someone who feels like you cannot get your skincare to where you want it to be or you don’t know where to start with skincare, here are two key things that we can start focusing on today: gentle cleansers & hyaluronic acid.
Importance of Gentle Cleansers & HA
In regards to gentle cleansers, are you using one? There’s a good chance that your skin might be getting too worn out or mad at the cleansers you are using. You want to have one that is gentle, especially if you have sensitive skin or are going through changes within your body (illness, allergies, menopause, etc.). A gentle cleanser can make it a little easier on your skin and make all the difference in the world for your makeup!
That being said, some people do use gentle cleansers but are not noticing a change in their skin. Depending on your skin type, you might need just a little more TLC! One other thing you can introduce into your skincare routine is Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid helps build up collagen as well as reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It also does an excellent job of training your skin to retain moisture!
Gentle Cleansers:
Paula’s Choice Hydrating Cleanser — La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser — CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser — Racquel Aesthetics Gentle Foaming Cleanser
Hyaluronic Acids:
Neocutis HYALIS Intensive Hydrating Serum — HA Peptide Serum — SkinCeuticals H.A Intensifier — Hyla3D Face Serum
Having a gentle cleanser as well as Hyaluronic Acid & just focusing on those two is a great place to start instead of incorporating a bunch of skincare all at once. It takes time for the skin to ease into it all so remember to add little by little to your skincare routine! Big changes to the skin can have big reactions but you can start with these two and see how your skin likes it.
What changes should I expect in my skin?
Keep in mind these products within the guide are not all tried and true by myself but a lot of research went into finding solid gentle facial cleansers and hyaluronic acids. When researching, I chose products that were rated well & had trustworthy reviews. I made sure to include medical grade & over the counter brands as well. Don’t forget the importance to test out a gentle cleanser for 4-6 weeks before you give up on it…unless you are seeing a drastic sensitivity immediately. After implementing a gentle cleanser & hyaluronic acid into your skincare, the difference you should be noticing is your skin waking up and not feeling so dried out. You should be achieving more of a natural glow within your skin.
REMEMBER: These are just 2 key pieces to a solid skincare routine. If you have any serums or moisturizers that you love and you know your skin needs, keep using them! Having a gentle facial cleanser & a solid hyaluronic acid isn’t the only way to getting the skin you want, but they are two key components to a great skincare concoction!
