How to choose a face exfoliator?

17th October 2020
"Exfoliate to get that dirt out of your pores!"

Naturally, our skin lets go of dead skin cells but continue to leave few mates behind, leading to clogged pores and rough skin. Huh.   Using a facial exfoliator is a perfect way to get rid of the extra dead skin and give yourself a glow-up if your complexion can use some WBC.

But how do you pick the one that's right? 

For exfoliation, there are numerous approaches. What procedure you use and how much you exfoliate can be determined by your skin type.

Methods for exfoliation

There are numerous skin exfoliation strategies and equipment. Mechanical exfoliation styles are facial scrubs and brushes. Chemical exfoliation styles are acids and skin peels.

Chemical Exfoliator

With the application of chemicals to help in cell turnover, chemical exfoliants extract dead skin cells. Peels are chemical exfoliants that are useful not only for smoothing but for brightening as well. 

Alpha-hydroxy acids:  

  • Made from natural ingredients and, since they extract the "glue" that binds dead skin cells together, are suitable for exfoliating dry skin. Gross, yes, but the payoff is cleaner skin.
  • Can not penetrate very deep into the pores because they are water-soluble.

Beta-hydroxy acids:

  • Oil Soluble by comparison
  • Can penetrate very deep into the pores because they are water-soluble.
  • Have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, usually a more profound exfoliation.
  • For those with dry, acne-prone skin

 

Physical Exfoliator

Exfoliation by the use of small seeds, a brush, or a scalpel is very easy. But not all physical exfoliants are equally made. Peep the list of ingredients in the average drugstore scrub to guarantee that none of the exfoliating agents are too high. Scrubs do operate, the doctor claims, so they need to be carefully handled. And they aren't as powerful or as soft as chemical exfoliation, considering what some people say.

Exfoliation by skin type 

 

Normal skin

You can use any form of exfoliation if your skin doesn't have any issues. For this skin type, manual and chemical exfoliation both are effective. To figure out which approach fits better on your skin, you might have to try.

Oily skin

Manual exfoliation and brushing may take advantage of oily or darker skin. Oily skin can have an additional layer of buildup on the surface that can be removed by manual exfoliation. Just use an exfoliator or scrub lightly for the maximum performance in circular gestures.

Dry skin

For dry or brittle skin, exfoliation is essential. Stop mechanical exfoliation on dry skin due to the drying process, which can lead to micro-tears. For dry skin, AHAs are efficient. 

Glycolic acid can help to eliminate dead skin resting on the skin surface and facilitate proper regeneration of the skin. By using glycolic acid, follow it up with an SPF and moisturizer. It will make the skin more vulnerable to exposure from the sun.

Sensitive skin

Stop scrubbing by using mechanical exfoliation processes. These can further irritate the skin and can contribute to redness. Apply with a soft wet cloth using a mild chemical exfoliator. You should even try the salicylic acid rinse at the office of your dermatologist for acne.

Combination skin

Mixed skin can involve a combination of chemical and mechanical exfoliation. Never do both on the same day as the skin can become irritated. And use a moisturizer right after exfoliation if the skin feels dry after exfoliation.

How much do you exfoliate?

The amount of exfoliation depends on the condition of the skin and the condition of exfoliation you use. Some chemical exfoliants can, for example, be solid. Generally speaking, exfoliating skin one to two days a week is appropriate for dry skin to be successful.

More regular exfoliation can involve oily skin. As it can lead to redness and inflammation, prevent over-exfoliating. If you need guidance finding out how much it's appropriate for some of you to exfoliate, talk to a dermatologist.

How to Choose between Contour Cream or Palette?

3rd October 2020
"Give your face the definition it needs!"

The right contour kit can not only make your best features shine, it can help hide any perceived imperfections, thus enabling you to play with your makeup routine. Finding the right contour kit for your makeup bag involves reading articles, researching product attributes, and digging into the ins and outs of accessible hues and formulations. And also after that, you don't know whether to use a contour stick cream or a palette!

But hey don't worry! I’m right here!

Consider the form of skin in terms of which products to use. For example, a cream-based contour routine is probably not the best choice for you when you have oily skin. You should use the palette because that will last long on your skin and won’t make your face look sticky or oily. It will just give you the definition of your face that you need and that’s it, You look gorgeous!

On the other hand, the palette product can enhance this if you already have dry skin. Powders also enhance age spots, so use light, subtle cream-based items to moisturize and contour concurrently in these cases. So the contour for dry skin is the cream-based one.

But you know what the best part is? You don't have to follow this cream-based stick contour or powder palette so strictly. It’s your life girl and your skin too! You can always find what’s best for your particular skin type by mixing it up. You can do whatever suits you but have the above-mentioned things into considerations.

How to choose the right sunscreen?

13th October 2020
"Live, laugh, WEAR SUNSCREEN!"

Regardless of your skin type, it's important to shield your skin from the sun. It's not up for discussion why we ought to wear sunscreen. But it's not easy to choose the right sunscreen. There's an explanation of why people despise things;   being chalky, greasy, and just all-around annoying.

But what kind of sunscreen to use? That might be a question that's been ringing in your head! But don't you worry. We are right here! Here, we have compiled a list of 4 tips to make your sunscreen use better and productive, and certainly less annoying.

Broad Spectrum

Choose a sunscreen covered by a "broad spectrum." Sunscreens guard against all UVA and UVB rays with this mark. Both sunscreen materials guard against UVB radiation, the major source of skin cancers, and sunburn. UVA rays do, however, often lead to skin cancer and premature aging. It is possible to mark a "broad spectrum" for products that pass a certain test. Products that are not broad spectrum must be warned that they only protect against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging.

 

Sun Protection Factor 

spf

SPF is a measure of how much UVB light can filter out from a sunscreen. An SPF of at least 30 is recommended by dermatologists. About 93 percent of UVB rays are blocked by SPF 15, while about 97 percent of UVB rays are blocked by SPF 30. An SPF of 30 or higher is recommended by the ADA. Applying adequate sunscreen to every exposed area of skin every day is necessary. We recommend putting a coat of SPF 30 all over the body for a half hour before leaving home on days you will be outdoors for a long period of time and then reasserting every two hours. It's smart to grab your sunscreen any time you get out of the pool while you're swimming.

 

Skin Type

skin-type

Make sure that your sunscreen is labeled as 'non-comedogenic' if you have acne or oily skin, which means that it's been shown not to block pores. Look for sunscreen or sunscreen moisturizers that contain hydrating ingredients if you have dry skin.

Choose physical or mineral sunscreen for delicate skin. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are physical sunscreen features that shield the skin; these two components will not hurt or sting the eyes. Sitting on top of the skin, they form a shield that will protect you.

 

Water Resistance

water-resistant

After a certain time (either 40 or 80 minutes) in water or when sweating, 'Water-Resistant Sunscreens' maintain their specified SPF strength. If the sunscreen still covers the SPF written on the label after submersion into the hot bubbling water, then the sunscreen will make a water-resistant argument. So check your sunscreen if it works for 40 minutes or 80 minutes before going out in sun, or swimming. 

Just because a sunscreen is called 'water-resistant: 40 minutes' does not indicate that for 40 minutes you can just sit in the water. It basically means that you may begin to see a decrease in SPF safety after 40 minutes in the pool, and you may need to reapply sunscreen to retain its original SPF value.
