Mindful Skin Care: An Overview of Face and Body Products

Beauticians often say: “Skin care should be conscious.” But it is rarely explained what exactly this phrase means. Let’s do it for them.

What is important to know about skin at any age

Cleansing, toning, moisturizing and/or nourishing are the basic steps of a daily beauty routine. It is a pity, but in youth we do not realize the importance of systemic skin care. And only when, with age, we notice unpleasant creases in the corners of the eyes and in the space between the eyebrows, we begin to regret that we were not engaged in the prevention of age-related changes. To prevent this from happening, it is better to start competent – no, it is conscious – skin care in advance.

20 years

Great age. There are no wrinkles, the skin is smooth and elastic. The only thing that can bother, and even then not everyone, is pimples and oily skin. With proper care and a well-thought-out strategy, they are easy to deal with.

25-30 years

Life begins to unfold before us in all colors. Love, career, family – many important things happen at this age. True, the first wrinkles around the eyes, swelling and dark circles under the eyes are an undesirable bonus to happiness and pleasure.

No wonder, sleepless nights on an important project, diverse emotions in personal life, gatherings with friends until dawn – all this does not pass without a trace.

Daily cleansing at any age is the key to beautiful and healthy skin.

30-35 years

The time when everything in life becomes more or less stable. Career, family – everything is generally good. But children often get sick, and at work it’s not without problems. There are enough reasons for concern, and this (together with purely physiological changes) leads to changes that cannot be called favorable:

  • the skin loses youthful elasticity, its surface no longer looks perfectly even and smooth;

  • dark circles appear under the eyes, and cute swellings turn into full-fledged bags;

  • any stress affects the skin in a not very pleasant way – it becomes dull, as a result of which the face may look tired.

40-50+ years old

Care after 45 years usually turns into a real pleasure.

If you think life ends after 50, you are wrong. Yes, age-related changes become noticeable, and the skin needs enhanced care. But along with the loss of tone and other distressing moments characteristic of this age, the realization suddenly comes that it is very pleasant to take care of yourself. It is a pity that such awareness comes only with age.

How to cultivate a conscious approach to care

Conscious use of cosmetic care gives tangible results.

First of all, it is important to understand what, why and in what sequence to apply to the skin. Let’s stop at the stages that many people forget about.

Purification

This procedure should be carried out in the morning and evening. Without proper cleansing, care products will not give the expected results.

Evening care

At night, the skin is actively restored, freed from toxins. That is why products that help speed up these processes are so important.

Express measures

Working all night? Or danced until the morning at a party? Apply a revitalizing mask, moisturizing eye patches and try to compensate for the lack of sleep (sleep in the afternoon or go to bed early the next day).

The sooner we understand that the beauty and youthfulness of the skin largely depend on lifestyle and care, the more likely it is to stay young and beautiful longer, consciously taking care of yourself and your appearance.
