It isn’t easy creating a routine for skincare and all the systematic to-do lists that come with it. While the standard Cleanse-Tone-Moisturise routine works wonders, 2019 has brought about its own rules and newer additions to stay in line with the latest discoveries that create result-oriented habits.
Double Cleansing
It was easily the biggest trend in skincare last year and will continue to be on top this year too. Double-cleansing is about two things: Using a cleansing oil for removing all the grime, followed by the usual face wash routine. A good makeup remover like micellar water or makeup remover will no longer do the job given the pollution. So this is where cleansing oils or balms come in – they break down makeup, SPF, and sebum. This is followed by washing the face with a water-based cleaner to get clearer, more nourished skin. The second cleanse goes into the pores and clears out the remaining gunk and you can rinse everything out with warm water to see radiant skin.
Essences
While the world is moving towards toners and moisturisers, Korean skincare changed the game by adding this new skincare step: Essences. What are essences and what do they do? They come in between a toner (when the skin is primed) and a moisturiser. This lightweight, hydrating liquid preps the skin to make sure it absorbs the serums and creams better. Essences are definitely an extra step but they help skincare ingredients penetrate into the skin better. The easiest and most effective way to use essences is to not use a cotton pad, but rather throw in a few drops into the palm and press it into the skin 2-3 times. The best essences hydrate, firm, and brighten, so pick wisely. Read more…
