Three infallible tips for your skincare

Skincare is already part of the routine of most Brazilians who rely on various popular techniques and products on social media to use on their skin. The trend became famous during the pandemic, when many people were inspired by skin care trends posted on social media. However, experts advise the necessary care when using the right techniques and products for each skin type, whether oily or dry.

We've put together some tips to inspire you when it comes to your daily skincare, check them out:

Facial cleaning

The skin care trend was inspired by Asian trends during the pandemic. With the increase in taste for Korean fashion and makeup, especially in K-pop, beauty trends have conquered Brazilians once and for all. And with that, skin care was also adopted into Brazil's routine.

Just like all skincare, the main point of a skin care schedule is the step by step and the order of techniques to be used. As every skin deserves special and different care, a step that is general for everyone is to start with facial cleansing. However, one thing everyone should be careful about is choosing the soap to clean.

Oily skin is recommended to opt for soaps that contribute to sebum-regulating action. In other words, soaps that regulate oiliness and the amount of “sebum” that the skin produces.

For dry skin, an ideal tip is to opt for soaps for sensitive skin that have a moisturizing action. Cleansing foams, lotions and oils are also an ideal choice for this skin type.

Serum and hydration

Another step that everyone should follow – including oily skin – is hydration, whether with serums or facial creams. Hydration is considered an important step in the skincare routine as it helps to contribute to collagen and skin health. But one tip is to find the ideal type of product for each skin type.

For oily skin, a moisturizer with a softer, more fluid texture is the right choice, unlike dry and sensitive skin that may opt for products with a creamy consistency such as creams and balms.

Sunscreen

The main step to adhere to your skincare routine is undoubtedly sunscreen. It is essential for ensuring skin health, against UV rays and also for skin anti-aging. Asians are a population that avoids UV rays as much as possible and is addicted to using sunscreen at any time of the day.

For oily skin, the perfect product is with a gel/cream texture that regulates facial sebum and helps to make the skin look smoother. For dry skin, the ideal protector is creamy products that create a film of hydration on the face.
