Why does skin need a routine?
The skin is often believed to be
merely the outer layer of our bodies with no real connection to internal
organs, thus the level of care and attention it receives is usually far
less than what it deserves. As the largest organ of the body, the skin
actually plays an extremely important role in protecting internal
organs, and is a part of the body’s supporting structure.
Fluctuations in the appearance of the skin are usually an indication of changes happening internally; for example, when the body’s temperature rises beyond optimal performance levels, it is through sweating on the skin that the temperature is lowered and regulated?without this function, the body would overheat.
Although our skin sheds dead skin cells and rejuvenates and repairs itself when damaged, it is one of the most visible parts of our body and can never be replaced, therefore it is paramount that it is cared for and looked after properly.
Benefits of skincare
Caring for the skin goes further than wanting to look good, as healthy skin is a sign of a healthy body. Skin that is damaged has greater risk of infections and takes longer to heal, thus a good skincare routine will not only give it the nourishment it needs to look healthy, but will also ensure it is able to recover and repair itself quickly if future damage occurs.
The facial skin is one of the most sensitive areas, and requires a good balance of cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing to maintain supple, well-nourished, youthful skin. Below is an outline of each part of a good skincare routine, and why they’re vital to the overall facial skin health.
Cleansing
Cleansing is the very first step to good skincare, and helps remove excess dirt, oils and make-up. When a good cleansing product is used, the skin’s pores are unclogged, leaving you with clear skin. The type of cleansing product you use greatly depends on your skin type: oily, dry, or normal/combination.
Le Soie Cosmetics' Pegasus range of cleansing lotions are the first step to a nourishing skincare routine. Designed to effectively remove make-up and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Exfoliation
An oft-neglected part of skincare routines, exfoliation reinforces cleansing. When the skin is exfoliated, redundant and dead skin cells are removed, leaving a layer of new cells. The effects of exfoliating are almost immediate, as the skin is left feeling smoother with a glow.
Le Soie Cosmetics’ Saunice range has the perfect exfoliation solution to leave skin glowing and smooth. With a choice of either a salt or sugar, these eucalyptus infused scrubs are an invigorating addition to skincare routines.
Moisturizing
A good moisturizer is the final element of a successful skincare routine, and how much and how often you moisturize depends on your skin type and the way the skin feels. If you feel your skin feels tight, this is a sign that your skin is dry and is in need of some moisture, however, avoid applying too much moisturizer, as it can clog up your skin’s pores; a pea-size amount is usually sufficient for successful hydration.
Le Soie Cosmetics have a range of moisturizing day creams specially developed to hydrate thirsty skin. We don’t believe that one-size fits all as far as skincare is concerned, thus we have day creams for dry, oily, and normal skin. The creams act as a skin protector and balances the moisture content of the skin, giving long-lasting hydration.
A good routine is key to maintaining healthy skin that has the right balance of moisture and natural oils. The appearance of your skin is vital to overall well being, and taking the time to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin will not only leave you looking wonderful externally, but you’ll feel content internally too.
