2017 Resolution Complete! 12 Months of Better Skincare

2017 marked the year of skincare for me! I set out with a goal to take better care of my skin by investing in proper treatments and products for my skincare needs. Sometimes awareness is what it takes to create a successful new habit. I paid attention to how my skin was changing and reacting from external factors like weather, the foods I ate, my skincare routine, etc. At the time of my final two microcurrent treatments the weather was drastically changing from fall to winter. 

Something that helped a lot was Kimberly told me to change up how I use the products. I began using a different face wash in the morning, which was more calming and gentle on my skin. In contrast, the cleanser I use at night is strong enough to get all of the dirt and makeup off. Also, I use a toner in the mornings after cleansing and a SPF moisturizer. At nights I don’t need to use the toner since my cleanser can take off all dirt and makeup (although, if I’m wearing more makeup on the weekends or for a photoshoot, I will preclease before using the cleanser at night) and the lotion is a little heavier than my daytime lotion. Of course I have eye cream for both morning and night to layer underneath the lotions. This routine maximizes moisture for me during the dry months of the year while also reducing breakouts.

Be sure you are aware of how your skin changes as we head into warmer months. It’s a good idea to do a full skin analysis along with educating yourself on the products you’re using. If you’re not sure, I highly suggest reaching out to your aesthetician or contacting Kimberly for help. They are the professionals and have lots of education to provide you with knowledgeable advice.
