What are the benefits of reading these skincare quotes?

The purpose of skin is to protect the human body from things like bacteria, chemicals, and temperature extremes.

I always thought skincare was just an industry (and a little overrated) and constantly asked myself why I needed a skincare “routine.”

However, I learned that there are actually a few benefits to having a solid skincare routine.

Primarily, a good skincare routine helps your skin stay in good condition.

Basically, it is your way of protecting it!

An effective routine can help prevent:

• Acne
• Treat and prevent wrinkles
• Help keep your skin looking its best (and more youthful)

Taking care of your skin also helps prevent skin problems.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and all that.

Things you need for a good skincare routine

Like I mentioned before skincare is an industry, so there are a lot of products and options to choose from.

Just because skincare is important, doesn’t mean you have to buy a bunch of expensive products.

However, there are a few basic things you should have handy in your bathroom.

The first thing you will need is a cleanser.

Experts recommend gentle, nonabrasive water-based cleansers that are alcohol and fragrance-free.

This will help keep your skin from getting too dry.

Exfoliants are also quite helpful but not essential.

Retinoids, derivatives of vitamin A compounds, can help with acne and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Experts point out that you shouldn’t be exfoliating and using retinoids in the same routine.

To avoid irritation exfoliate and use your retinoid on alternating days, or exfoliate in the morning and use the retinoid in the evening.

The next things are must-haves: moisturizers and sunscreen.

Moisturizers help draw and seal moisture into the skin.

This keeps your skin hydrated and helps it protect you better.

Sunscreen helps protect your skin from damaging UV rays.

Not only do UV rays cause accelerated signs of aging, but can also lead to cancer.

The bottom line here is that at a bare minimum we need to keep our skin healthy like we try to do with all our organs.
