Why a Custom Skin Care Routine is so Important
Retinols, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, squalane, enzymes … with the infinite amount of skin care products on the market, it’s difficult to pinpoint what’s best for your skin. What complicates things even more: Beauty editors might rave about their new favorite miracle serum, but that same serum made you break out last winter. Celebrities and influencers seem to have flawless skin, but they endorse competing products. The saturation of skin care products is a real concern for consumers looking for an effective, repeatable skin care routine.
What is a Custom Skin Care Routine?
A custom skin care routine is a step-by-step regimen designed to address your skin’s unique needs and goals. It sifts through the hundreds of available beauty products and tells you how to achieve the best version of your skin. It typically includes a cleanser, toner, SPF, moisturizer, and treatment serum; however, the number of steps might vary depending on what you want to treat, prevent, or enhance.
What are the Benefits of a Custom Skin Care routine?
- It’s designed for you. You are unique, and so is your skin. There is no one-size-fits-all product that works wonders for everyone. Because each person’s skin type, skin concerns, budget, and lifestyle vary, the best skin care routine for you is one that’s customized for you.
- It will save you time and money. Have you ever purchased a new sunscreen that was way too greasy or a toner that left your skin flaky and dry? Maybe you bought a pricey eye cream that showed no results after six months. Trying new products and fads is tempting, but continual testing will put a dent in your wallet when your routine isn’t working. And, the time you spend researching new products and learning through trial and error can set you back from your ultimate skin care goals. With a customized skin care routine, you know what your skin needs. You can save time and money by only purchasing effective products and by not stockpiling once-used products in the back of your bathroom drawer.
- You can target specific skin concerns. Whether you’re struggling with acne, seasonal dryness, skin pigmentation, or signs of aging, there are products on the market that zero in on your skin goals. Your products’ formulation and consistency should also react well with your skin type. For example, heavy creams and soaps may exacerbate oily skin. Instead of splurging on a product that claims to solve every skin concern, you can use products proven to support your skin concerns and your skin type.
- You can feel at ease knowing you’re nourishing your skin. Regularly researching and testing out new products can be a stressful experience. If you have a customized routine, you’ll know exactly how to care for your skin and the order to apply products, so you can spend a little less time focusing on your face.
How Do I Build a Custom Skin Care Routine?
The quickest and most effective way to build your routine is by consulting with a licensed aesthetician or dermatologist who specializes in customized skin care. They will professionally analyze your skin, speak with you about your unique skin type and goals, and ask questions about your lifestyle. Diet, sun exposure, environment, hormones, and habits like smoking are all skin health factors. After developing a comprehensive understanding of your skin, the aesthetician will recommend a routine tailored just for you.
