Read about everything skincare from The Skinologist! Be it cleansing, face creams, de-stressing and nutrition.
Take care of your skin and your skin will look after you. It sounds super simple right!? With a busy work schedule, crazy kids (or grandkids), socialising and everything else in between it can get deprioritized.
Your skin is an organ and is one of the last places to receive nutrients from your body. So when it comes to self-care it’s super important you are giving your skin everything it needs. Two litres of water per day, vitamins, minerals etc.
You can actually damage your skin by using the right skincare products in the wrong way. For example, skin scrubs that are supposed to be once or twice per week. They can become part of a daily routine and start striping away your skin!
Also, not all skincare products are created equally. Some contain ingredients that are not great for your skin. They clog pores and stop your skin from breathing. Some have the right ingredients but not in high enough quantity to have an effect.
