2. Tip: Don't forget to exfoliate
The accumulation of dead skin cells can lead to a dull complexion and clogged pores. Regular and proper use of exfoliators results in a brighter, more vibrant, cleaner, and more beautiful skin appearance, which in turn enhances the effectiveness of active ingredients.
3. Tip: Don't always look for hydration in cream form
If your skin is still dry after proper hydration, turn to the other skincare steps for extra moisture. Nourishing cleansers, moisture-retaining serums, and hydrating sunscreen products can effectively replenish your skin's moisture content.
4. Tip: Double cleanse
At the end of the day, it is important to start your evening skincare routine with refreshed skin.It is important that all impurities, makeup, and sunscreen residues are perfectly removed from the skin surface, because if we skip this important step, the pores can become clogged, the skin will become oilier, and the active ingredients will not be able to absorb properly. This is what double cleansing is for, the first step of which is an oil-based cleanser: then as a second step, use a water-based cleanser:
Tip 5: Reapply the sunscreen every two hours
The instructions for using sunscreen state that it should be reapplied every two hours. Why? Because the active ingredients that provide UV protection start to break down during their work. This means that you will likely need to reapply the sunscreen in the morning and afternoon to provide optimal protection against the sun's rays throughout the day. And remember, UV rays can penetrate through glass (as well as through clouds on a cloudy day).
6.Tip: Excessive hydration can do more harm than good. If you have dry skin, applying an extra thick textured moisturizer multiple times throughout the day may not necessarily help. In fact, excessive hydration can worsen dryness as it inhibits the production of the skin's natural moisturizing fats/oils. The key to soothing, repairing, and smoothing dry skin is the daily use of an effective moisturizing product – with the right product, you only need a small amount. Additionally, it doesn't hurt if it contains other soothing, barrier-strengthening active ingredients, such as the Maruderm skin-protecting and regenerating barrier cream, or even our Centella soothing and hydrating cream.
