A Beginner’s Guide to Skincare – ABC of Skincare

 Who would apply 10 products to skin in the name of skin care? It’s just too expensive and time-consuming. This is what many of us think. Don’t we? But, in reality, taking care of your skin, doesn’t mean you have to burn a hole in your pocket. All you need to know is where to look and what to get. To start with, you can go with a basic skincare routine, a simple skincare routine that is easy to follow and just includes 3-4 steps. That’s it. With these easy-to-follow steps, I will also recommend some of the best skincare products in India. So, let’s dive in.

 

Day Skincare Routine

 

Step 1: Wash! Wash! Wash!

Thoroughly washing the face is the foundation of any good skincare regime, and what can be better than natural skin care products, like AGE Green Tea & Honey Face Wash which is made of pure and natural ingredients; and ideal for all skin types. If you have excessively dry skin or mature skin, you can opt for AGE Rose and Almond Face Wash. Now you know what to use, start with washing your face with face wash and pat dry.

 

Step 2: Prepare your skin for skin care products

Toner is one of the face care products that is a must in every skincare routine. Be it a face care routine for women or a face care routine for men, toner should not be ignored. Why? Because, face toner helps to remove the residue of soap, impurities, left on your skin. If your face wash is harsh on your skin, it can disturb the delicate PH balance of your skin. It is toner that helps restore the PH balance of your skin and prepare it for skincare products, you will apply next. AGE has two face toners:  AGE Rose & Rice Face Toner & AGE Cucumber & Papaya Face Toner. 

 

Step 3: Lock that moisture

The next step is to make sure that your skin stays moisturised and for that you would need a good moisturiser. A moisturiser not just restore moisture level in your skin, but by doing so, it helps to keep your skin supple and prevent the appearance of signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Even, if you have oily skin, applying a moisturiser is a must, as the lack of moisture in the skin, triggers skin to produce more sebum, making your skin to appear oiler and greasy. AGE has curated AGE Rose & Sea Buckthorn Day Cream for normal to Oily skin; and AGE Green Tea & Evening Primrose Day Cream for Dry & Mature Skin types.

 

Step 4: Protection from sun damage

This is the last step of Day Skincare Regime, but why is it important? Protection for sun damage is a must, as the harmful rays from the sun, can penetrate your skin and cause it to age faster. Therefore, a good quality sunscreen is a must. But not just any sunscreen, your sunscreen should be gentle on your skin, have minimum of 30 SPF, offer broad-spectrum protection (protection from UVA & UVB rays) & should not clog pores. Wondering how will you find all that in one? The answer to your question is AGE Sunscreen, which is a physical sunscreen. Made of natural ingredient, AGE Sunscreen is gentler on your skin than many chemical sunscreens in the market.

 

Now coming to Night Skincare Regime:

Step 1: Wash your face

Step 2: Toning

Step 3: Moisturising

In this last step of night skincare regime, it is important to choose a moisturiser that helps in repairing your skin and reversing the day damage. Most of the moisturisers only moisture skin, but do not have skin repairing properties, and you need them, because as we age, our skin repairing abilities starts to slow down. This is why our wounds don’t heal faster and we start seeing signs of aging on our face as we grow older. AGE Turmeric Night Serum is one such moisturiser that works both as a serum and as a moisturiser. It helps reverse sun damage, lighten blemishes, dark spots & acne marks; and even reduce uneven skin tone. Isn’t it a magical product.

 

This concludes your skin care routine. Isn’t it simple and easy to follow? So, start your skin care regime and give your skin the love, care and attention it deserves.
