The best skin care routine | Sarasin Clinic
Radiant, healthy skin is not only a sign of beauty, but also of well-being. In our daily battle against stress, pollution and the natural aging processes, an effective skin care routine is not just a fine self-care moment in the day; it is the most important part. This article serves as a guide to the world of skin care. We provide you with the right knowledge to build a routine that fits your unique skin needs.
What is a skin care routine?
A skincare routine is a series of steps that improves the health and appearance of your skin. It's not just about cleansing your face or that lovely mask once a week. It is consistently a dedicated practice that adapts to the changing needs of your skin. By choosing the right products and techniques, you can eliminate problems such as dryness, acne and signs of aging address, leaving your skin looking and feeling its best.
You don't get dream skin overnight; it requires a routine that you apply both morning and evening for best results. And it doesn't stop there. It also includes those special pampering moments, where professional treatments give your skin that extra bit of love that just doesn't happen at home. Especially if you're dealing with specific skin conditions, you want to use the right products, techniques and sequence.
What is a proper skincare sequence?
Your skin thrives most when you use a cleanser, toner, serum and an appropriate cream. To achieve the best results, you want to follow a specific order. For example, a toner that prepares your skin for a serum or cream is less effective if you apply it to the face last. So we go over each step of the proper skincare routine with you.
Step 1: cleanser (Cleanser)
Start and end your day by cleansing your face to remove dirt, oil and impurities. For those with sensitive or dry skin, a moisturizing cleanser is ideal, while a cleanser with salicylic acid can help with oil-rich or acne-prone skin. Cleansing allows subsequent products to work more effectively by providing a clean base.
Step 2: toner
After cleansing, a toner helps restore your skin's pH balance, refine pores and prepare the skin for serums and moisturizers. Choose a toner based on your skin type: hydrating toners for dry skin, and exfoliating toners for oil-rich or acne-prone skin.
Step 3: exfoliant or peel
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture and stimulates cell renewal. It is best to do this 1-3 times a week, depending on your skin type and the exfoliant you choose. Chemical exfoliants such as AHAs (for dry skin) or BHAs (for oil-rich and acne-prone skin) are effective options.
Step 4: serum
Serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin problems such as aging, pigmentation, or dry skin. They contain active ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin. For daytime, you can choose an antioxidant serum with Vitamin C, while for nighttime, retinol or hyaluronic acid serums can help with skin rejuvenation and hydration.
Step 5: eye cream
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive, so it requires special attention in your skincare routine. An eye cream can help reduce dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. Gently pat the cream in with your finger until it is absorbed into the skin.
Step 6: moisturizer
Hydration is important for all skin types, even oil-rich skin. A moisturizer helps to strengthen your skin barrier, keep moisture in the skin and make it supple and smooth. Choose a lighter lotion or gel for day and a richer cream for night.
Step 7. SPF (for morning routine).
Greasing the skin is not only important during the summer and on vacation. In fact, we recommend oiling your face every day. Daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF helps protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, premature aging and reduce the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, apply your sunscreen as the last step of your morning routine, after your moisturizer but before you apply your makeup.
