Simple Skin Care Routine

Yes, 2 dollars and 2 minutes a day can get you really great skin care. These are the secrets and skin care hacks you need to know. Skin care is designed to prevent, protect and treat skin conditions like melasma, acne, rosacea and reduce UV induced damage. Vitamin A can help repair damaged collagen and very fine lines. So, here is my suggested skin care regime to keep things under two dollars a day.

Firstly keep your cleanser cheap and simple- Cetaphil, and QV wash is all that you need. No actives in face washes as you want a preservative and fragrance free wash. As a skin care hack, washes for eczema and sensitive skin are recommended. Secondly invest in a good sunscreen. Neutrogena or Ego sunscreens are SPF 50 facial sunscreens that are affordable. Prices start from $10. Thirdly, and most importantly vitamin A should be the first ‘active’ you use- providing you have normal skin and not sensitive skin. Care should be taken if you have rosacea, dermatitis or other types of skin sensitivities. I have done several comprehensive YouTube videos on how to use vitamin A, B and C.

Exfoliation can increase the potency of your skin care- this applies to all active vitamins including retinoids. If you have a Clarisonic- it’s one of the best skin care investments you can make, however if you are gentle, a simple exfoliating pad or glove cost only $10 and will get you a similar depth of exfoliation. Not fancy, but it will get the job done. I have done a video on how to use face sheet masks. Masks can also hydrate the skin, infuse vitamins but most importantly establish barrier function at the same time as increasing the bioavailability of any active skin care. As a summary- face washes twice a day, exfoliate twice a week, use a good sunscreen, start vitamin A, and use a moisturizer to protect your skin. My preference is The Ordinary with 30% Vitamin C suspension. This product suits my skin type, you will have to find a moisturizer that suits yours! Remember that skin is as individual as you are.

Skin care cannot replace lasers or dermal fillers. Lasers such as the Clear and Brilliant, Fraxel and dermal toning can give great results with only a few sessions. These lasers are affordable, with little downtime. Yes, I am biased, but what you save in branded skin care can be invested into lasers for your skin. Providing treatments are performed correctly by a dermatologist or a Specialist supervised clinic, you will get real results!
