Today, we will look at some basic steps, some essential tips, and some perfect products to take care of your face the way you deserve. 

What do we mean by facial care? 2 things: skin and beard.

Let's start with the skin!

Facial care in 4 steps

Care can be so simple and done in just 4 steps. 

1. Clean your face. Do it daily! 

To remove sebum, germs, or oiliness, clean your face with a cleanser. 

The product you choose depends on your skin type.

2. Apply moisturizer

The best time is at night. 

In this step, you may have more than one product. You might use a serum or combine a face cream with an eye cream.

Plan to apply your moisturizer a little while before you lie down, so it gets absorbed by the skin and doesn't end up... on the pillow.

What are the 3 most popular ingredients in creams & serums?

Retinol

What is it & how does it help? 

Retinol is a form of vitamin A that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

It can also help improve skin texture and tone. 

How does it work on the skin? 

It aids in collagen production in the skin, which is essential for maintaining firmness and elasticity. 

When should it be applied?

Retinol products should be used at night, and the next day, wear sunscreen! Avoid using it during the summer months, as it can cause irritation with sun exposure.

If you are trying retinol for the first time, it is better to start gradually (e.g., once every 3 days) and increase the frequency over time!

Vitamin C

What is it & how does it help? 

Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It helps protect the skin from free radicals, which can cause premature aging. It gives the skin a glow and improves its texture!

When should it be applied? 

Especially in serum form, it is best to apply vitamin C at night, as its effectiveness decreases when exposed to light and air. Just like with retinol, incorporate sunscreen into your routine! 

Hyaluronic Acid

What is it & how does it help? 

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that naturally occurs in the skin and helps maintain moisture levels. However, as the years go by, its production decreases, which can lead to dryness and fine lines.

It helps restore moisture to the skin, leaving it firm and hydrated.

Choose it if you have dry skin and need deep hydration. 

3. Apply sunscreen In the morning, before you leave the house. 

Even in winter, the sun's rays can be harmful to your skin and, apart from skin conditions, can prematurely intensify aging.
