What is a Skin Care Regimen?

For me a skin care regimen is daily steps taken to achieve healthy, beautiful skin. I won’t be stating any specific products but more so the outline of what your regimen should be based on.

To embark on your journey to beautiful skin you will need to know what a regimen consist of right? Start your regimen with these 4 simple steps to achieve skin of your dreams.

1.Cleanse

2.Tone

3.Block

4.Moisturize

Cleansing

Cleansing your skin is very important especially for us makeup wearers, cleansing your skin gets rid of dirt, oils and build up throughout the day caused by foods, daily activities, even weather changes. I would recommend cleansing twice a day once in the morning and once at night to ensure your skin is clean, any more than twice a day you might find that your skin is becoming dry, in this case, you are over cleansing which is very possible to do.

Toning

Toning, what is that? Just think of the overall vibrancy of your

complexion. Toning your skin balances your faces ph., it also gets rid of dirt an oil that you might have missed during the cleansing process. I didn’t really understand the importance of toning, but realized that it helped nourish and even out my complexion naturally. I encourage you to stick and not skip this important step in developing your skin care regimen.

Block

We all love the sun but it can really do some harmful things to the face, it can increase the visibility of dark marks, uneven the skin tone and surprisingly burn the face. Blocking your skin from the heat rays with sunscreen is very important. Living in Florida, the sun is out a lot, me not being aware of the importance of sunscreen I would skip this step and noticed that my skin just didn’t look the same. The Barrier between your skin and the sun with sunscreen helps so the sun doesn’t penetrate through your skin and pores causing dark marks becoming worse, uneven tone and other skin problems.

Moisturizing

This step may just be my favorite part. After you do these previous steps of cleansing, toning, and blocking, you should be ready to complete your skin care regimen with a moisturizer of your choice. Moisturizing is an important step because it does exactly what it says putting the moisture back into the skin from cleansing, toning, and blocking, which can result in your skin feeling tight or little dry. Moisturizing gives the skin elasticity so the skin can appear smooth, soft and rejuvenated.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed this post. This is just a guideline to begin your skin care regimen not including other stuff like exfoliates and masks and other once a week or bi-weekly steps, but more so what you can start out with and do daily. Remember don’t give up if you don’t see results right away, it will take time. Rome wasn’t built in one day right? but look at the end result which is beauty. So be patient and persistent and you too can achieve great results.
