Apply Sunscreen Everyday - Sun protection is the most important element for healthy skin. Sun degrades the skin's collagen and elastin and effects our body's ability to create new cells. So, make a promise to yourself never to leave the house without applying sunscreen of at least SPF30 (even during the Winter or on cloudy days). Look for a broad spectrum SPF like SkinCeuticals Mineral Radiance UV Defense SPF50 (stocked in The Otto Clinic Limerick).
Know Your Skin - make Sure You're Using The Right Products For Your Skin. Is your skin oily, combination or dry? If you're not too sure enlist an aesthetician to help you assess your skin and any other concerns. Also, keep in mind that different areas of your face may have different characteristics. Hydration is key! If your skin is really oily, look for an oil-free product with Hyaluronic Acid in it.
Exfoliate - Exfoliation should be a part of every skin care regimen. Exfoliation is important because it lifts dry, dull skin and allows products to penetrate and work more effectively, so make time to exfoliate at least once a week.
Don't Neglect Your Neck - Our necks can show our age more than our faces, so it is incredibly important to take care of that skin. Bring the products you are using on your face down to your neck and massage them in an upward motion creating a lifting effect.
Do The Double Cleanse - It is so important to fully remove ALL of the makeup, dirt and debris that has gathered on your skin. The first cleanse removes makeup, the second cleanse penetrates deeper and fully cleanses the skin.
