How to take care of your skin? Learn about the needs of the skin!

The skin is the largest organ of our body. It is also extremely sensitive, although its tasks are considerable - after all, it is responsible, among other things, for protection against external factors and loss of moisture. Therefore, taking care of it is not only a matter of beautiful appearance, but also the health of the body. The skin, like any organ, has its own needs, which are worth listening to. What does it need? It depends on the skin. There are four types of it:

oily,
dry,
normal,
mixed (combining characteristics of oily and dry/normal).

Although sensitive, vascular or mature skin is also mentioned in the context of skin care, these are not skin types, but rather phenomena you can observe on your skin. The needs of each skin type are different. Oily needs to regulate sebum production, while dry needs to be deeply moisturized. Combination skin - considered one of the most problematic - needs both on different parts of the face. How to take care of normal skin? About that in a moment!

The most important care basics

You already know that in the question of how to take care of your complexion, it is important to know its needs. However, whether you have combination, oily, dry or normal skin, you need to remember the basics of skin care. About what you do regardless of your skin problems. These include:

cleansing,
toning,
moisturizing.

Just three steps! However, they are able to make the skin from gray and dry to soft, firm and radiant. However, it will not be adequately protected from UV radiation. Therefore, to the three basic steps we would add one more - UV protection. Remember, too, that each subsequent step requires the right cosmetics for your skin type. The wrong choice can end up with dryness, sensitization or too much sebum production. What to do now? Let's get to the specifics!

How to take care of your complexion? Cleanse!

How to take care of the skin on your face? Start with cleansing. Whether you do a morning or evening routine, your skin needs to be well prepared for the next treatments. In the morning, you remove the sebum and dirt that has formed during sleep. In the evening, on the other hand, you get rid of makeup and what the skin has collected throughout the day. And there's quite a bit of it, so do your makeup removal first, and only then wash your face! The facial cosmetics that will help you deep clean your skin must, of course, be chosen with your complexion in mind. If you have dry or normal skin, or even combination skin, go for mild products that strengthen the hydrolipid barrier and protect the epidermis from water loss. This, for example, is Clochee's mild facial cleansing foam. Oily skin requires cleansing and narrowing pores, as well as reducing excess sebum. However, it is still worth remembering not to dry it out excessively. That's why it's important to reach for cosmetics without alcohol or soap, such as Vinopure purifying cleansing gel by Caudalie. Is this the end of cleansing? No! Regularly exfoliate the epidermis by performing a scrub, so that the skin can better absorb active ingredients from cosmetics.

How to take care of your face? Don't forget about toning

Toning is the most often overlooked step in daily skin care. Probably because the benefits of toning are not as well known as those of cleansing or moisturizing the skin. So let's be clear - a toner is an essential part of your morning and evening skin care ritual. Its task is to restore the correct pH of the skin, which - due to other cosmetics - changes from acidic to more alkaline. Thus, toning protects the natural hydrolipidic barrier, and thus promotes good skin condition. In addition:

removes impurities left on the skin,

soothes irritation:

tightens pores,
refreshes the skin,
prepares for the next stages of care.

Moisturizing and nourishing - the basis of morning and evening care.

The skin has to face many challenges every day. If it is dry, dull and lacks firmness, it is unable to perform its role well, which includes protection against external factors. Hence the need for regular daily moisturization. But not only that. In the evening, when you have time to rest, the skin also regenerates. This is the ideal time to apply something special to it. Among other reasons, this is why night creams have a thicker, richer texture.

And finally...radiation protection

After applying a moisturizer, reach for another one. This time, however, with a UV filter. And no, not just in the summer. We wrote about why it's important in the article SPF not only in summer. Why is it important to protect your skin all year round? Remember that UVA rays accelerate the skin aging process. Therefore, if you want regular skin care to really give results, do not skip this last, but equally important step.

How to take care of your complexion? Here the main thing is regularity, but also properly selected cosmetics. Remember that to help your skin, you need to know it well.
