There is a wealth of tips, advice and products that we are constantly persuaded to follow and use. How do you really know what works and what is most important? How do you get that complexion you’ve always dreamed of? We have the answers.

Routines

It might sound boring and not surprising at all, but the importance of committing to a daily skincare routine is one of the most valuable things you can do to get visible results. Healthy, moisturized, glowy and balanced skin are rarely something that shows up without any effort. Find a routine with products customized after your own skin needs and condition and be truly dedicated to it. Give your skin time to adjust to new products, one new product at a time. It takes between 4-6 weeks for the skin to adjust to new skincare products, then you can see results. It’s completely normal if you notice a negative effect in the beginning. It will be worth the wait.

Good products

Just because you’ve found a routine that you follow doesn’t mean you can expect a cinderella kind of effect. The most important thing with your skincare routine is obviously what’s included. Find out about your skin needs and use products based on your own current skin condition.

Moisturize

The fact that beauty journalists and skin therapists are constantly nagging about the importance of hydration is no coincidence. By continuously drinking water and using moisturizing serums, creams and masks, you moisturize your skin from both inside and outside. Your skin will thank you.

Exfoliate carefully

Today, we see more and more exfoliating products on the market aimed to remove your dead skin cells to make room for new ones. This is, like many beauty-junkies know, an important part of your weekly skincare routine – as long as you don’t overdo it! Here’s the thing: you shouldn’t (and don’t even need to) exfoliate more than 1-3 times a week. If you exfoliate too much and too often, the chances you’ll destroy your skin barrier is very high. The skin barrier is not to forget, your skin’s most important protection against external destructive factors. With that said, exfoliate happily but gently.

Sleep

It’s no myth that lack of sleep and too much stress will affect your skin in a negative way. While we sleep, our skin is working most actively with repairing itself from possible damage caused by internal and external factors. Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night and prioritize exercise and relaxation in your everyday life.
