5 Ways To Upgrade Your Skin Care Routine

Naturally, the key component to having healthy skin is a good foundation of quality skin care products for daily use.

Use a mask 

A facial mask is a great product to give your skin a revitalizing boost once or twice a week. Some masks are clay based and draw out excess oil and impurities from your pores, helping to minimize blackhead and pore size. Other masks are be gel based and provide hydration and anti-aging benefits for tired, dry or aging skin. Masks are a fun product to use too because you can really feel them working.

Use a serum 

Using a serum daily will target a specific skin concern like wrinkles and fine lines, skin tone and texture, and even help to minimize pore size and control oily skin. Serums should be used after washing your face and before applying a moisturizer. They are typically quite light and fluid-like in their consistency so that they absorb instantly into the skin and don't feel heavy or greasy. Shop for serums here

Use an undereye cream or gel 

The under eye area is one of the first parts of your face that will show signs of aging. The skin under your eye is much thinner and more delicate than the skin on your rest of your face, so using a gentle product specifically for that area of the face that targets under eye concerns like dark circles, under eye bags, puffiness and fine lines and crows feet is a good investment. You will reap the benefits not only now but in the long run. A little goes a long way too most eye creams or gels may look like a small tube with not very much in them, but can last 4-6 months even with daily use. Shop for undereye products here
