New Delhi, Oct 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) We all want flawless, glass skin that looks dewy and fresh throughout the day. We do so much, use so many products just for that one desired look which is a trait in the Asian community. We even follow a 10-step skincare routine that involves double cleansing, exfoliation, masks, five different steps for hydration etc. But is it really worth it? Is it suitable and necessary for our skin? Well, the thing is, such a skincare routine might sound fascinating, but it is neither a sustainable choice nor healthy for our skin as we know excess of everything can be harmful. Due to these standards of beauty, we start questioning the appearance of our skin which has pores which is absolutely normal to have.
So, what can we do? The answer is Skin minimalism. This trend is here to stay for the long run. It involves basic steps of skincare, is economical, sustainable and healthy for your skin. For us, this is the way to go ahead in our skincare journey. So, what all steps does it include? Let's have a look and get the answer to many such questions and mysteries revolving around our skin shared by Rajat Mathur, Education Manager, Kiehl's India. Ready? It involves only 4 steps:
Moisturizer a Must: We all love and desire that healthy dewy look. Don't we? The key to achieving it is hydration and only hydration. Hydration is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine and so is skin minimalism. Even if your skin is oily and looks like it doesn't need a moisturizer, you still can't skip this step. It is a myth that people with oily skin can skip moisturizers. Yes, you can choose a different formula in moisturizers suitable for your skin type, but you still have to use it otherwise your skin will be forced to produce oil and it'll just look oilier than ever. Talking about formula, for dry skin, one should use cream-based formula whereas as for oily or combination skin, one should use lightweight, gel-based moisturizers.
Sun Protection: Nothing is more important than sunscreen in the skincare routine. All the products will go in vain if you miss out on this step as no matter how many products you apply, they can't protect you from sun damage. UV rays of the sun are enough for increasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, etc. It is advised to use sunscreen with an SPF of more than 30. Also, you must reapply the sunscreen after every 2-3 hours even after leaving the house.
