When it comes to taking care of your skin, the moment to start is always “right now.” The rate at which your skin ages can increase up to 20 percent per decade, so having a good skincare routine is essential to ensure you look as youthful as possible.
That said, finding the best products for your skin can occasionally be challenging, especially when you don’t know what to choose. Fortunately, we’re here to make matters more manageable for you, whether you are looking for product tips or a good routine.
Medical-Grade vs. OTC Skincare
Not all products are created equal when it comes to skincare, and when developing your routine, you’ll have two options: over-the-counter (OTC) and medical-grade skincare. These products differ in terms of goals and effects and their concentration of active agents.
OTC skincare products are great for short-term relief and are more affordable, being easily purchased from a supermarket shelf. That said, unlike medical-grade skincare products that are rigorously tested, the OTC products rarely solve your problem in the long run. With medical-grade skin products, you get a higher concentration of active agents that tackle the issue deeply, showing beautiful results even after you are done with the treatment.
Top Products That Your Routine Needs
Everyone is different, and what works for you might not work as well for someone else. That said, once you understand your skin’s needs, it should become easier to create a routine. A consultation with RESTOR Medical Spa will help you determine the best course of action for your skincare journey.
1. Cleansers
The cleanser is the foundation of healthy skin because it removes impurities and unclogs your pores. This makes it easier for the products to be absorbed, as nothing stands in their way when entering your skin.
For instance, products like the RESTOR Glycolic 10% moisturizing cleanser can brighten the skin and smooth the tone. It is perfect for those women and men dealing with acne breakouts. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin, a specially formulated gentle cleanser might be more efficient.
2. Exfoliating Treatments
Cleansers can only do so much when it comes to removing dead skin; we recommend exfoliating once or twice per week. Pads are simple to use, and you’ll have to look for some that feature enough glycolic acid, like the RESTOR Weekly Exfoliating 15% pads. If you also have an acne issue, purifying pads with salicylic acid could work very well for you.
3. Anti-Aging Essentials
As you age, your skin can no longer produce as much collagen. Products featuring retinol, vitamin C, and peptides are the best for stimulating collagen production, and the best way to deliver that is through a serum.
The RESTOR Vitamin C serum can be effective on its own, but a more complex option, such as the Renewal Treatment Restore, can tackle multiple issues at the same time.
4. Moisturizers
Moisturizers are essential to prevent dehydration, which can leave your skin looking dull and aged. To keep the skin plump and hydrated, you should look for products that pack hyaluronic acid like the RESTOR Hyaluronic Serum. That said, an essential moisturizer with HA, ceramides, and niacinamide might be exactly what you need for day-to-day use.
5. Sun Protection
Last but most importantly, your skin needs sunblock to protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays. For total protection, you can use products like the RESTOR Pure Defense SPF 50+, which creates a protective layer. If you want to conceal imperfections, a tinted SPF might work better for your needs.
