Your Guide To A Weekly & Monthly Skin Care Routine
No matter how busy your week is, there’s no excuse for missing out on your daily, weekly and monthly skin care routine – especially if your beauty goals include a gorgeous and glowing skin!
With the passage of time you get wrinkles, fine lines etc a good skin care routine will slow down the impact of time and environment. So, follow a good skin care routine for graceful aging. And here is a weekly and monthly skin care routine for you.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Exfoliate
Not everyone needs to exfoliate their skin, but even with regular cleansing, your dead skin cells keep building up little by little and thus collects dirt and roughness. This causes breakouts, cracks, blemishes, roughness and clogged pores. Make it a habit to exfoliate once a week to help your skin look and feel smoother, brighter.
If you are using facial scrubs, beware that scrubs can cause microtears in the skin. Scrubs can causes irritation, and irritation leads to more acne.
Instead of a scrub, consider a chemical exfoliant, such as an AHA or BHA. These dislodge excess dead skin, allowing it to be gently wiped away.
Pro-tip: Daily or weekly, not both. Some AHA/BHA chemical exfoliants are designed to be used daily. If you’re already using a daily exfoliant, you may want to avoid a more intense once-weekly exfoliation, as your skin will already be more sensitive. If not, your skin might benefit from a weekly exfoliant to slough off dead skin.
De-clog Your Pores
Engage in a skin check at least once a week as there may already be a buildup of sebum that can lead to acne eventually. Help loosen the clogs by applying a purifying face mask, such as a clay- or charcoal-based mask, or gentle oil massage. Just don’t pick at your skin!
Steam Facial Cleanse
Steam hydrates the skin by increasing oil production which naturally moisturizes the face. It helps your skin better absorb skin care products. Steam increases the skin's permeability, enabling it to better absorb topical creams or serums.
All you need to do is give yourself the 15 minutes a week to do this steam cleanse – and be consistent with it. Sometimes that’s the hardest part – sticking to a new routine. But it’s exciting when you see the great results!
Your steam skin cleanse recipe should start with -
wash your face
add your ingredients into a bowl (fresh herbs and plants, dried herbs or citrus peels)
pour in the boiling water
sit over the bowl with a towel over you head to receive the steam
end with a toner and your favorite natural serums or moisturisers
remember, after a steaming your face, your skin will soak up whatever you put on it – so don’t use any chemicals or synthetic products!
Clean And Disinfect
We’re not talking about face cleansing here, but the things that get in contact with your skin. Dust and bacteria transferred from your essentials can cause irritation and infection. So as with your beauty regimen, make it also a routine to disinfect your mobile device, change sheets and pillowcases, and clean up your brushes as all these can harbor bacteria and harm your skin in the long run.
Monthly Skin Care Routine
Inspect Expiration Dates
Skincare and makeup has an expiration date. Never get into the habit of using up all your beauty essentials without being mindful of their expiration. Check for their due dates and ditch the ones that are already expired. Special precaution should also be given on skin care products that you scoop out using your fingers as these are prone to contamination and may cause skin breakouts.
Skin Check
Aside from the regular skin checks and steps that you take to ensure a radiant glow, you must also take time to examine your skin to identify suspicious spots or skin growths that may need dermatologist care or medical attention.
Book A Facial
Exfoliation, extraction, massage, steaming and masking during facial treatment lead to a rejuvenation of the skin or, in other words, a fresh, renewed skin. This improves the appearance of the skin, giving it a healthy, radiant and balanced complexion. Professional facial treatment will not just give your skin the care it needs. It is also the ‘me-time’ you want to get the much-needed relaxation and pampering. Shop our facial treatments and get ready to treat yourself.
Of course, a daily, weekly, or monthly skin care regimen wouldn’t be effective without the beauty essentials to meet your requirements for a particular time. So step up your skincare game by keeping in stock of organic beauty products that should come in handy to address your needs.
