What a year it’s been! With the sun setting on another year, we are starting to think about what 2022 could bring our way. With all the New Year celebrations soon underway, it’s time to begin listing what our resolutions are going to be. If, like us, one of your goals is to have forever radiant skin, then we’ve got you covered! In this article, we will be talking about our top tips for getting that youthful glow that we are all after.
Why is Skin Care Important?
Our skin can often be the cause of us feeling self conscious. If you are having a good skin day, where your face is clear and the rest of your body feels smooth to the touch, it can really impact how we feel about ourselves. The concept of looking after our skin is different for every person. People have differing needs, a variety of skin types and their preferred methods of handling their own routine.
A good skincare routine is all about what makes you feel the best you can possibly feel. As well as preventing any acne or breakouts, treating wrinkles, reducing fine lines and helping your skin maintain that healthy glow that we are all after. With that being said, we have some top products which will aid you in achieving this goal.
Introducing the Pure Obagi Antioxidant Kit
It can be difficult to find a routine which fits your skin needs whilst almost complimenting your skin type. The Pure Obagi Antioxidant kit can help you when it comes to boosting your skin’s radiance. Rich with Vitamin C, this kit will help you protect your face against any free radicals or environmental aggressors that you come into contact with on a daily basis.
Obagi-C® C-Cleansing Gel
The first step is the Obagi-C® C-Cleansing Gel. Apply this product by placing a small amount to the face and neck with moistened fingertips then proceed to rub in circular motions and rinse with lukewarm water. Gently pat dry with a clean cloth or towel.
Obagi-C® C-Balancing Toner
Tone the skin morning and night after cleansing with the Obagi-C® C-Balancing Toner, the second step in your pursuit for glowing skin. Simply, place a cotton pad over the pump and apply 3-4 pumps to saturate. Then, apply to the entire face and neck, allowing the product to dry naturally on the skin.
Obagi Professional-C® Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask
Apply the Obagi Professional-C® Microdermabrasion Polish and Mask to a fully cleansed and damp face. Warm a teaspoon amount in your hands before sweeping gently across the skin to create a thin and even layer. Then, sit back and relax for up to 15 minutes while Vitamin C infuses into your skin.
After, wipe away the mask with a soft, damp cloth or towel to reveal more radiant skin. Our Skin Experts recommend using this product 2-3 times a week.
Obagi Professional-C® Serum 15%
The fourth step focuses on the Obagi Professional-C® Serum 15%, which our Skin experts recommend applying each morning to thoroughly cleansed and toned skin. Use 5-7 drops to the fingertips and massage into the entire face and neck, absorbing quickly into the skin. Remember to follow with your usual moisturiser and SPF sun protection.
Obagi Hydrate®
Next up is the Obagi Hydrate®, which should be used on thoroughly cleansed and toned skin. Massage 1-2 pumps to the entire face as needed, each morning and night. Again, remember to follow up with SPF in your morning regime.
Obagi Sun Shield™ Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50
Finally, is the much needed SPF! Apply the Obagi Sun Shield™ Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 thoroughly cleansed and toned skin as the last step in your skin care routine. Massage into the skin to cover the entire face and neck evenly. We suggest reapplying every 2 hours when in the sun to protect your skin from harmful UV rays or environmental aggressors.
Will This Routine Suit My Skin Type?
Understanding what your skin needs is very important, especially when you are considering a new routine. Our Skin Experts always recommend trying products out in small amounts before diving in head first. This can save sensitive skin from being disrupted or if you have skin which is more on the oily side, it can prevent new products causing future breakouts.
