Why is Skin Care Regimen Important?

People who have diabetes and auto-immune diseases are prone to skin damage and wounds which when left untreated can result in serious health issues. One of my friend’s parents underwent something similar when they visited a dermatologist for help with extremely cracked feet. While taking the necessary treatment, it turned out that some infection spread from the cracked heel to the entire leg immediately within a day and pus started to pour out of the wound. It has been over a month and the wound is still undergoing treatment.

This is when I realized skin care is not just about vanity but has a long term impact on your health. Skin is the biggest protection against germs and environmental assaults on our body. Over time neglect, from a few weeks to few years, can damage this barrier and the effects are usually visible instantly when you begin to see your skin cracking or turning extremely dry. What we do not realize is that if we let this damage continue, especially when we are above 30 and our skin repair capabilities reduce, we are putting our health at jeopardy and no critical illness cover or health insurance for parents takes care of those expenses.

How to create a basic skin care regimen?

1. Moisturizing is Important.

Whether you are a guy or a gal, applying a body lotion is not just about looking good. It keeps skin from cracking and stops the dead skin build up. One of my friends also shared that not applying lotion caused a lot of itching when she was pregnant which in turn lead to a lot of stretch marks.

Skin dehydration is one of the major reasons why your skin looks dull and lacks that fresh and glowing look. This is a common mistake to not understand what your skin actually needs. For any instant pick up, make sure you slather on a good hydrating serum. Moving on, there a few signs that show your skin is dehydrated. Some are pretty obvious and some are not so obvious or you might fail to notice in the rush of your work. So, let me list them for you.

3 Signs Your Skin is Dehydrated

Feeling Stretchy

Your skin feels stretchy and this is the universal sign that your skin is dehydrated. Our immediate reaction is to slather on a body lotion or a moisturizer and drink loads and loads of water. As funny as it sounds, drinking water barely helps with skin dehydration. It only helps with retaining fluids in the body. And, body lotions are only a temporary solution. What you actually need to do is address the deeper issue of why is your skin losing the ability to retain moisture.

How much moisturizer do you use? {Skin Care}

· · 33 Comments

Did you know that you just need a pea size amount of moisturizer for your face??? I am in the league of people who always end up using more than enough of the product, be it any, howsoever much I may try. So, I decided that I would educate you all on this very important issue as it saves our bucks and our skin as well 🙂 Excess of product is really not good for skin as it sits on the skin and ends up clogging the pores.

Just a pea drop!!

I have come to love the pump packaging more than any other as they deliver right amount of pea size we need for covering the face and another for the neck. I always take only a pump and rub my hands and simply press it on to my face starting with cheeks and going all over the face including forehead, nose, chin and skin between lips and nose and of course, the eye area.

On the Shelf Vol. 2 – Face Serums and Oils

· · 2 Comments

face oils, indulgeo rose gold oil, the ordinary squalene oil, kiehls midnight recovery concentrate

Hey all! I am a major hoarder of the face serums and oils and I usually have loads of them in my closet at any given point of time. Interestingly, I ordered for Biotique ageless serum while I am typing away this post. Well, old habits die hard and if you find something interesting and inexpensive being raved about, how can you skip it? So, let me breakdown the products into face serums and oils.

Face Oils

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Bought a long time back and I have not managed to reach even half of the bottle. You need just a bit and you are good to go. The oil is really light in texture and sometimes not enough to combat the dryness. Overall, I do not have much to say about it except it smells nice thanks to the lavender essential oil.

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalene

I have used it a couple of times but honestly I am not very impressed. I am not sure if I know how to use the product correctly yet but it makes my skin too oily. Anyways, this is a product which is still under trial so reviews are yet to come.

Indulgeo Rose Gold Oil

One of my whim buys which I liked using but I have to use it regularly to say a word about it. For now, I like it as it makes my face glow.

The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics

Have you ever come across a product which is just plain water? Apart from floral waters and mists, of course. Well, the ordinary’s marine hyaluronics is one such product. I was looking for something hydrating to be added in my skin care and this was the better option from the brand so I picked it up.

The Ordinary brand has received loads of buzz in the recent times thanks to its extremely low price range and equally diverse product range. It comes from the umbrella of Deciem, the niche beauty brand which believes in serious skin care. Now, does marine hyaluronics fall in that category?
