Finding a skincare routine that actually works for you is one of the hardest things to do. The beauty industry is booming and every day there are new and improved products on the market. Additionally, our skin needs different kinds of nourishment depending on the season, age, and lifestyle. You may find that what worked for you a few months ago no longer does the job. Therefore, it’s advisable to refresh your skincare routine and add new products. Here are some tips on how to give your skincare routine a makeover.

  1. Evaluate Your Products

You should start by checking what needs to be replaced and what needs to be thrown out. Most skincare products have a shelf life of about 2 years. Therefore, if you’ve had a product for more than that, it’s time to throw it out. You should also check the ingredients contained in these products and note which ones irritate your skin and which ones work for you. This should give you a guide on which products to buy.

Beauty: How To Increase The Shelf Life Of Your Skincare Products 

  1. Invest In A Good Cleanser

Cleansing is one of the key steps in a skincare routine. It refreshes the skin thus preventing chances of a breakout. If you have a good cleanser, you might not need as many skincare products. There are so many cleansers in the market that cater for different skin types. However, the best cleansers should not strip your skin of its natural oils. They should leave your skin feeling clean and hydrated. Some of the highly-rated cleansers include Garnier Micellar Water, CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and Neutrogena Gentle Daily Cleanser. Beauty: 6 Benefits Of Using Cleansers

  1. Buy Multi-Purpose Products

Multi-purpose products are cost-effective and good for the environment. When giving your skincare routine a makeover, you’re likely to spend a lot of money since beauty products aren’t cheap. If you can, get products that are two-in-one. Additionally, some products can be used for more than one purpose for instance coconut oil can be used to remove makeup and as a moisturizer.  Beauty Hacks: 7 Uses Of Setting Spray

  1. Consult A Skincare Expert

We tend to ask our friends about their skincare routine and what products they use. This could lead to more skin problems since different products have different effects on different people. Before buying any new products, it’s good to consult an expert. You can book an appointment with a dermatologist or a beautician who is better informed about the effects of certain products. It’s also good to have your skin tested so you know your skin type.

  1. Try Homemade Products

You can make anything from scrubs to moisturizers in the comfort of your home. Skincare products mostly contain natural ingredients that you can get in your kitchen and with so many tutorials online, it’s never been easier to make your own skincare products. They’ll save you lots of money while minimizing your exposure to harmful chemicals.

  1. Invest In Sunscreen

Whatever you do, always wear sunscreen. It’s counter-productive to use numerous skincare products and then expose your skin to harmful UV rays. It’s said that 90% of fine lines and premature ageing are caused by the sun. Therefore, sunscreen is a must-have in your skincare routine and should be worn daily.  5 Ways You Are Making Your Sunscreen Less Effective Without Even Realizing It
