Having a good skincare routine will support the skin as the largest organ of the body, enhances results, ensures the effectiveness in treating your skin concerns, preps your skin for in clinic treatments, saves you money and all the while has a positive impact on your overall well-being. This skin blog goes back to skincare fundamentals and explains why following a skincare routine at home is so important and how it will benefit you.
Let’s get started.
SUPPORTS THE SKIN
The skin is the largest organ of the body and forms the integumentary system. The integumentary system comprises of different layers of skin, glands, hair follicles and nails. The primary functions of the skin is to act as a barrier creating protection, to absorb outside factors such as vitamin D, to regulate our temperature, to retain moisture, to respond to external stimuli and to act as an excretion organ.
Factors that can influence the natural function of the skin can include incorrect skincare, hormones, lifestyle factors such as diet, alcohol consumption or smoking, gut health, infections, sun exposure, environmental factors, trauma and damage to the skin. The skin knows what to do and implementing a good skincare routine not only helps to enhance the natural aesthetic of the skin, but it supports the skin as the largest organ of the body.
ACCOUNTS FOR 70% OF RESULTS
A good skincare routine will account for 70% of your results very much like going to the gym and good nutrition. It's important that when your working out and training, your supporting your body with good nutrition to achieve your desired results. The same can be said for in clinic treatments and a good skincare routine. If we aren't supporting the skin at home consistently with a good skincare routine, we probably won't see the results we want with just in clinic treatments as this is not enough to change the physiology of the skin alone.
PREPARES YOUR SKIN FOR IN CLINIC TREATMENTS
In clinic treatments such as chemical peels and skin needling sometimes require the client to prepare their skin by using certain skincare products for a period of time beforehand. These skin treatments create trauma to the skin in a controlled environment to create change and if the skin is not prepared properly it can be harmful to the skin.
Incorporating a good skincare routine with active ingredients strengthens the skin by slowly introducing active ingredients to the skin over time. By strengthening the skin before clinic treatments we're reducing the likelihood of an adverse reaction, reducing unwanted side effects and speeding up healing time. A good skincare routine at home will also support the skin post treatment and enhance the results of in clinic treatments helping you to effectively treat your skin concerns.
SAVES YOU MONEY
A good skincare routine at home will help to save you money by correcting and preventing certain skin conditions and concerns reducing the likelihood of in clinic treatments, number of treatments or frequency of these treatments. A good skincare routine can help to correct or prevent congestion, premature ageing, pigmentation and even dehydration saving you money in clinic correcting these concerns later on. Prevention is better than the cure, right?
MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
Following a skincare routine at home has a positive impact not only on the appearance of your skin but also on your well-being. Have you heard the saying "when you look good, you feel good"? Following a skincare routine at home will ensure the effectiveness in treating your skin concerns reducing the feelings of being self-conscious about certain skin concerns because lets face it, we have all felt self conscious about a skin concern at some stage in our life whether we like to admit it or not. The act of self-care by following a skincare routine at home can also be relaxing and enjoyable, boosting your mood and confidence. It's a way to show self-love to ourselves both emotionally and physically.
