Many times, we stare with envy at the person walking down the street with soft and glowing skin. We all want that same radiant, glowing skin too, but that feels like a distant goal. The good news is that, YOU TOO! can get that dazzling glow. But how and where do we start? From our skincare routine!
Prepping for the routine
First and foremost, we need to identify our skin type. Knowing which skin type we are, we can then properly assess which products to look for, and which ones to avoid. Most products will indicate the skin type that they’re most suited for on their labels, simplifying the process of uncovering which products that’ll work for us. Here are the following steps to follow when curating your skincare routine.
1. Picking the right cleanser
A cleanser clears the dirt, oil, and bacteria that you come in contact with during the day, or in the evening while you sleep. This first step in the routine is crucial. Cleansing our face will enable us to begin or end the day with fresh skin. Furthermore, our skin will be able to receive the maximum benefits from the products as our face will be free of any dirt and debris that would affect the way the products are absorbed.
HYSSES facial cleansers are infused with different essential oils to serve different skin types. They are gentle on the skin and does a miraculous job in ridding the face of grime and dirt. The cleanser comes in 3 different scents and regardless of what skin type you are, there will be one that will work wonders for you.
2. Finding the right toner
Traditionally, toners were used to pH balance the skin after using a cleanser. However, as many cleansers are now pH balanced, toners may or may not be necessary for everyone. However they can offer additional benefits to prep the skin to soak up the moisturiser or any other skin treatment that you may apply thereafter.
What is amazing about HYSSES Micellar Cleansing Toner is that it is a one-step, no rinse solution to remove makeup, cleanse, tone and moisturise your skin in all under one minute. Tiny oil cleansing molecules called “micelles” bond together to attract and pull away impurities from the skin without the use of harsh chemicals. What’s left is fresh, bouncy and moist skin that glows with confidence all day. Particularly ideal for those on the go or travellers, who needed that all-in-one convenience.
3. Selecting the right moisturizer
Your skin needs to be rehydrated throughout the day. Moisturizers with elements such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid can feed your skin with the needful hydration it requires to remain soft, supple and youthful.
Even if you have oily or combination skin, it is still essential to moisturise. An inadequacy of moisture can cause your skin to create more oil to compensate for it, leading to clogged pores and breakouts.
HYSSES moisturisers performs various functions for the various skin types; be it hydrating, brightening, restorative or oil control. With the use of essential oils, the facial moisturisers enhance the functioning of the stratum corneum, which is made up of fat and oil. Applying a moisturiser can increase the moisture level of the stratum corneum, preventing the skin from drying out, and helping to lock moisture in the skin calls.
4. Don’t forget about sunscreen
Many of us use sunscreen only during what appears like the obvious times to do so, such as a sunny day at the beach. However, in reality, it is essential to wear sunscreen every day. Not only can we reduce the risk of skin cancer, we’ll also be preventing the effects of photoaging—which can contain dark spots and wrinkles.
With essential oils being one of the key ingredients in HYSSES sunscreen products, it combines the therapeutic wellness of the essential oils, herbal ingredients and mineral sunscreen blockers for hydration and protection for daily use. It is an excellent protection against UVA and UVB rays, prevents premature aging, wrinkles, and reduces skin irritation due to sun exposure. The non-greasy formula leaves behind a matt and smooth effect on skin.
5. Pulling it all together
Once you have all of your products, it’s time to set them together into a morning and evening routine. Consistency is key when it comes to skincare, so make sure that whatever routine you make is one that you’ll always be able to perform daily.
6. Give your routine time to work
Don’t get frustrated if your skin doesn’t change overnight with your new routine. For the best outcomes, aim to follow your routine for at least six weeks. This is about the amount of time your skin needs, to achieve the cycle of renewing itself with fresh skin cells. Once this cycle is finished, you can begin to see the effect of the products you’ve been using, especially so, as most, if not all of HYSSES skin, hair and body care products are infused with the therapeutic effects of essential oils, giving our skin and hair the best healing therapy and nourishment it needs.
7. Consider routine enhancers
Once you’ve set the basics, you can add on more products to your routine as required to enhance your skin health. That could include products for acne, redness, or general skin dullness such as Exfoliators and Masks. However, if you’re pleased with the results from the above three / four-step routine, there’s no need to add more products to the routine.
Exfoliators
Exfoliation is the key to a deep cleanse at any age. It is often associated with running up skin cell turnover, which has slowed down over time. Regular exfoliation of your skin can do splendors for your complexion. It helps to produce smooth, unclogged skin that can exude an overall glow.
Exfoliating the skin can address problems such as acne and dullness by clearing dead skin cells. Chemical exfoliants use elements such as alpha-hydroxy acids to chemically loosen the bonds between dead skin cells and the new cells underneath. Physical exfoliants use scrubbing particles that manually loosen these adhesives to exfoliate the surface of the skin.
Though useful, exfoliation has often being underrated. One probable reason for the low take-up rate of exfoliation could be the misconception that face / body scrubs are often rough and harsh on the skin. That may not be true for some, but with the latest advancements, face and body scrubs have pretty much evolved to a butter-like texture that is smooth and easy on the skin and yet achieve the desired results.
HYSSES face and body scrubs contain pure essential oils and uses all-natural ingredients to remove excess sebum and to achieve brighter and healthier skin. They are gentle on the skin and helps to lock in moisture and keeps the skin hydrated all day. Besides exfoliating, it also assists with combating skin concerns such as signs of premature aging, uneven skin tone, redness or inflammation.
Masks
Having a little indulgence and giving yourself a good 15 to 20 minutes of TLC a week is something that everyone of us should try to work towards to. There is a huge range of mask options available in the market, and each one has a specific function to improve the skin health. Masks can range from clarifying, brightening, hydrating, soothing or anti-aging. Generally, they are used intermittently to help give our skin a boost whenever it needs.
What better way to wind down a crazy work day / week with a HYSSES mask that not only remove impurities and excess sebum but also hydrates, refines your pores and soothe your skin to restore a more youthful skin. The essentials oil scent from a HYSSES mask is so soothing and relaxing and will probably cause you to drift off into your lala land. Don't plan an important event just after masking, as you might oversleep after using the mask!
