There’s a lot that goes into a solid skincare routine. You’ll need high-quality products with high-quality ingredients. But, even with the best skincare routine, it’s possible that you’re sabotaging your efforts without realising.
Are you making these 5 skincare mistakes and sabotaging your skincare routine? Let’s find out.
Did you know that the skin on your neck and chest is just as delicate as the skin on your face? That means you should be treating these parts of your skin with the same TLC.
Plus, if you only take care of your face while ignoring your neck and chest, your face might be free from fine lines and wrinkles. But your neck and chest will still show your age.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with ageing. In fact, it’s a beautiful thing. But we also need to protect our skin from the sun and pollutants that don’t only age our skin but affect our health.
Long story short, everything you’re doing for your face regimen should be extended to your neck and chest as well.
If you’re serious about skincare, we hope you’re taking off your makeup before bed. However, many of us might still be exercising with makeup on.
Whether we go to the gym straight from work or we take Pilates on our lunch break, it’s important to have a clean face when we’re about to break a sweat.
When you sweat, your pores open up. If you’re wearing makeup, it’s going to clog those open pores causing breakouts and inflammation. It may seem like a nuisance, but you should remove even the “cleanest” makeup before a sweat session.
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. And while it’s important not to stress about a strict diet, knowing what to eat that’s actually good for your skin can help.
“Good” fats are essential for healthy skin. So, make sure you’re eating enough. Omega-3 fatty acids found in foods like salmon, avocados, eggs, and nuts help keep your skin moisturised and help to improve collagen production.
Additionally, too much sugar can lead to breakouts. Overall, a well-rounded balanced diet with plenty to healthy fats and fewer sugary treats can do wonders for your skin.
At the end of the day, you could have the best skincare products around. But without a healthy diet, you could be sabotaging your efforts.
Dermatologists will tell you that it takes between two and three months for your skin to rejuvenate. In other words, don’t expect your skincare products to start working overnight.
One of the easiest mistakes to make is to write off a new product when you don’t see instant results. The same goes for skin supplements like our marine collagen sachets. It’s important that you don’t expect these products to be an overnight solution.
All good things take time, so give your skincare routine and skin supplements a few months before you assume they’re not for you.
When we think of skincare products we’re often imagining trendy serums and luxurious moisturisers. While we’re all for high-quality skincare products, what works topically for the skin is only half the story.
Skincare from the inside out should be a huge part of your skincare routine. Similar to how foods can affect your skin, beauty supplements are just as important as your creams and cleansers.
Collagen is the quintessential skincare supplement. One study from Tokyo found a 91% increase in skin hydration and resilience in just two months of collagen supplementation. That only scratches the surface of what collagen supplements can do.
Since collagen production in our bodies start to dwindle as we age, it’s important to get it from somewhere else. Not only does collagen powder replenish the skin-tightening effects of naturally occurring collagen, but it also helps to minimise future collagen breakdown.
Plus, nourishing your skin from the inside out with a product like ProPlenish marine collagen ensures that you’re getting the best results from your topical products. They work together to product your best-looking skin.
The takeaway here is to focus both on inner and outer beauty when choosing products for your skincare routine.
Shop the full range of inner and outer beauty ProPlenish products and quit sabotaging your skincare routine once and for all. Your best skin awaits.
