- Be consistent
- Choose the best products

- Hydrate
- Don’t just focus on your face
Aging is a natural process that no one can stop nor slow down. The same can be said for its effects on the body especially on the skin. As much as we try to counter it with skin care products and skin care services in the Philippines, our age will eventually show through our skin.
It will become rougher and thinner, fragile and slack, transparent and easily bruised. These are just the realities of life that we have to face, whether we like it or not. However, even if it is not in our power to stop this natural process, we are capable of slowing it down. With the right skin care routine and practices aided with a couple sessions of facial services, our skin can stay supple and fresh-looking.
If you want to put off saggy and rough skin for as long as possible, then you’ve come to the right place because we’ll be sharing skin care routine secrets that are guaranteed to help you achieve and maintain younger, smoother skin!
Be Consistent
The key to an effective skin care routine is consistency! Skin care products don’t take effect overnight. It takes at least two weeks sometimes even a month for them to begin showing results and that’s only if you use them regularly. If you only perform your skin care routine whenever you feel like it, then forget anticipating the results because there won’t be any. You’ll only find that you have been wasting your time and money.
To prevent this, consistently stick to a specific AM and PM skin-care routine. Not only will this allow your products to take into effect and improve your skin, it will also help you decompress after a hard day. Moreover, having a specific routine makes it easier to determine which items work especially when you start trying out new skin care products.
Choose the Best Products
Brand, scent, and price don’t matter when it comes to skin care products. What matters most is the list of active ingredients it has, so this is what you have to keep your eye on. Look for ingredients such as peptides and niacinamide—nutrients that enhance the skin’s natural function and minimizes wrinkles and fine lines.
The same thing can be said when it comes to facial services. Before you avail of any kind of facial service, look up the steps involved and the products and/or machines that are going to be used. Doing this will help you figure out if it’s the right service for the kind of skin you have and the problem you are facing.
Take Antioxidants
Antioxidants are your best bet if you want to achieve younger skin because they stand as the number one defense against aging. They fight off free radicals that cause wrinkles, acne, and dark spots.
There are antioxidants that complement each other and boost the efficacy of the other like vitamins C and E, green tea extract, and ferulic acid. These antioxidants are known as the MVPs of the beauty world so you may want to consider incorporating them into your routine by adjusting your diet or taking supplements.
You can also avail of facial services that are rich in antioxidants like the Caviar Collagen Masque. It uses roe or caviar extract which is packed with vitamins and antioxidants that are sure to nourish, moisturize, revitalize, and sooth your skin.
Hydrate
As you age, you start to lose oil and sweat glands that are necessary to prevent your skin from drying out. These glands form some kind of moisture barrier that allows your skin to look and feel young and smooth. Without them, you end up with dry, scaly skin and your wrinkles and fine lines become more apparent.
The secret—well, it isn’t actually a secret—to battling dry skin is constant and regular hydration. Poor intake of water, as in failing to meet the required 8 glasses a day, will cause dry skin, and so does not using moisturizers.
Refusing to use moisturizers both during the morning and the evening, will only lead to dry skin problems especially for older people, so make sure you don’t skip it. Moreover, ensure that your moisturizer contains hyaluronic acid—a molecule that acts as a moisture magnet—for better results.
Don’t Just Focus On Your Face
What good is a beautiful, smooth, and baby-like face if adjacent areas like your neck and chest are freckled, wrinkled, dry, and aging? A lot of people love to focus on the face and disregard these areas which are just as important. They rarely extend their skin-care routines to the neck and chest area so the skin continues to show signs of aging.
You can easily avoid this by purchasing and using dedicated skin-care products for these parts. You should also extend your moisturizer and sunscreen application downward to the neck and chest to protect them from sun damage.
Another thing you can do is avail of skin care services that are focused on the neck area. There are a lot of these like our very own Neckfirme which reduces necklace lines and turkey necks using a specific treatment.
Key Takeaway
The way that your skin ages depends on a lot of factors like lifestyle, diet, habits, and heredity. There are some things that you just have to accept and realities that you have to face despite the difficulty. Life happens.
However, this doesn’t mean that you can only sit back and watch as your skin starts to grow thin and wrinkly. There are still things you can do to stretch out this process and slow it down for as long as possible.
For one, start a skin-care routine that incorporates the things that we have listed above. If you already have one, then stick to it dutifully and apply those moisturizers and sunscreens. And if you want or need a little outside help, then you can always try different facial services that are available in different establishments!
