If you want to be able to meet all of your skin’s needs and ensure that it always looks its very best, a daily skincare routine is a must. While that may be the case, putting this routine together can be tricky, especially if you’re new to skincare! With so many different products out there, knowing which ones to bring together into a routine can seem overwhelming.
Fortunately, this is where Celestolite can help! Read on as we share a step-by-step guide to creating the perfect daily skincare routine. It won’t be long before your skin looks better than it ever has!
Start With a Gentle Cleanser
Every skincare routine begins with a cleanser. This is a non-negotiable step for a few reasons. Firstly, all of the dirt, sebum, and other impurities on your skin’s surface need to be regularly cleared away if you want to prevent the appearance of clogged pores, acne, dullness, free radical damage, and more. Not only are all of those problems more prevalent in skin that isn’t cleansed regularly, but your skincare products will also struggle to make an impact on unclean skin. They won’t be able to push past the layer of impurities that covers the skin’s surface, meaning that the majority of each product that you apply will fail to properly penetrate your skin.
Therefore, to ensure that your skincare routine is as effective as possible, starting with a cleanse is a must! However, don’t go reaching for the first cleanser that you see…
With this being the first step of your skincare routine, it’s important to get it right. Only use a cleanser that’s compatible with your skin type. Creamy cleansers work well on dry skin, whereas foaming cleansers are often the product of choice for oily skin types.
Feeling confused? Some cleansers can be used on all skin types, which makes life a lot easier! The Celestolite Estrella Cleanser Mousse is one, with mousse cleansers known for having a wide appeal. They’re gentle and moisturizing, yet they’re also very effective. The fact that this one is also infused with amino acids, which will leave your skin feeling stronger, is a bonus!
Apply a Hydrating Toner
Toners can be quite a contentious product. Some people love them while others hate them. With that said, those who aren’t fans of toners usually think this way because the toners that they’ve used in the past have been highly astringent. This is what most of the original toners back in the day were like, as these products were primarily designed to dry up oily skin.
Today, however, toners are very different. Sure, there are still plenty of formulas out there geared toward oily skin, but the majority aren’t created to have that drying effect (which doesn’t actually do oily skin any favors in the long run anyway!). Instead, today’s toners focus on ensuring that the pH of the skin’s surface is balanced since cleansing can sometimes throw this off. Many toners offer additional benefits too, such as soothing the feeling of inflammation and providing a splash of hydration.
This is exactly what the Celestolite Estrella Facial Toner was designed to do. Again, this product can be used on all skin types. It’s infused with aloe vera leaf juice, which hydrates and calms the complexion, along with chamomile and witch hazel extracts. Simply sweep some over your face once you’re done cleansing and then move on to the next step of your skincare routine while your skin is still damp from the toner.
Target With a Serum
The next step in your daily skincare routine should be to apply a serum. This is a great way to target any visible skin concerns that you’re dealing with. After all, serums are capable of providing high concentrations of active ingredients. The right serum could transform the look of your skin in a relatively short space of time.
Of course, the key is to find the right serum for your skin in the first place! Many automatically gravitate toward vitamin C serums since these formulas can work wonders. Vitamin C is an amazing multitasker that can help with so many visible skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, dryness, or anything else, vitamin C is a great ingredient to use.
If you don’t yet have a go-to vitamin C serum, check out the Celestolite Nova Bright Glow-C Serum. It contains 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, which is a very respected form of vitamin C. Its level of potency rivals that of pure ascorbic acid, yet it’s much more stable and far less likely to cause irritation.
Layer on a Second Serum If Needed
The great thing about serums is that you don’t need to stick to just one. If you would like to really hone in on your visible skin concerns, you could add a second serum to your daily skincare routine. Just make sure that the two formulas you pick are compatible with each other!
If your first serum is a vitamin C serum, the Mars Stellar Serum would pair well with this. This serum is all about boosting the skin’s hydration levels, which is something that all skin types would benefit from. With a blend of humectants, which are ingredients that bind moisture to the skin, it immediately leaves the skin looking softer and fuller. Better yet, several of the ingredients in this serum, such as the peptides and collagen, will work to give your skin’s natural protective barrier a stronger and more resilient finish.
The Celestolite Cosmic Firming Serum would be another worthy option. This serum focuses on brightening the look of dull skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It does this with a specialized blend of ingredients, which includes the likes of vitamin A, lactic acid, and sodium hyaluronate. Not only does it leave the skin feeling much smoother, but it also never fails to give the skin a gorgeous glow!
Moisturize Your Eye Area
While the products that we’ve discussed above can all be applied to your eye area, it always pays to give this part of your face some extra attention. Why? Because the skin here is particularly thin and fragile. This means that it’s more prone to damage than the skin on the rest of your face. This is why many people notice fine lines developing around their eyes before those creases start to appear elsewhere on the face.
Fortunately, there are plenty of great eye care products out there to add to your skincare routine. The Celestolite Estrella Hydrating Eye Cream is one. Take a look at its ingredient list and you’ll be immediately impressed by all of the noteworthy names that are on there. For starters, it’s brimming with hydrating ingredients, including plant oils, cucumber fruit extract, and peptides. Those ingredients also keep the skin barrier feeling supported. Meanwhile, the numerous botanical extracts in this formula are all loaded with antioxidants that will brighten and tighten the look of your eye area.
If the skin around your eyes is quite sensitive, the Venus Sensitive Eye Cream would be another option. It consists of a similar blend of ingredients to our other eye cream, yet it is formulated in a way that keeps the skin feeling calm and non-reactive.
Moisturize the Rest of Your Face
Now that you’ve given your eye area some extra moisture, it’s time to turn your attention to moisturizing the rest of your face. There are a few factors to keep in mind when choosing a moisturizer, the first being your skin type. Dry skin does well with a rich moisturizer. Meanwhile, oily skin types need a lighter blend, just like the Celestolite Luna Mineral Cream. This moisturizer hydrates without weighing the skin down. It also contains salicylic acid, which ensures that the moisturizer won’t clog your pores.
You’ll also need to consider the time of day. During the day, your skin needs plenty of antioxidants to keep itself feeling protected against environmental damage. That’s exactly what the Luna Luminous Touch from Celestolite provides. Meanwhile, the evenings call for extra moisture. This is why most people choose to include a separate night cream, like the Celestolite Estrella Night Cream, in their daily skincare routines.
Whichever moisturizer you choose to use, aim to apply it while your skin is still slightly damp from your serum. This will enhance absorption of your serum. Your moisturizer will form a seal over your skin’s surface to prevent the serums you’ve applied from evaporating away.
Sun Protection
While your evening skincare routine can end after you’ve applied your moisturizer, you need to think about sun protection during the day. Let’s not forget that the sun is responsible for up to 80% of the fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots that develop on the skin over time, meaning that sun protection is essential if you want to keep your skin looking bright and youthful.
While many choose to use a separate moisturizer and sunscreen, one way to slightly simplify your skincare routine is to use a two-in-one product, just like the Celestolite Nova Bright Skin Cream (SPF 30). With this formula functioning as both a sunscreen and a moisturizer, it will save you an extra step in your skincare routine. It’s packed with beneficial ingredients, such as aloe vera, green tea extract, and vitamins. This makes it the perfect way to see your skin through the day!
Of course, just like with any SPF product, make sure that you regularly reapply your sunscreen throughout the day. If not, protection will wane after a couple of hours, leaving your skin vulnerable to UV damage.
Being Consistent With Your Daily Skincare Routine
Once you’ve put together a daily skincare routine, it’s important that you’re consistent with it. Follow it daily, no matter what, as this is the only way that you’ll see the results you’re hoping for. As time goes on, you may want to make a few tweaks to your routine and adjust the products that you use. Keep the steps that we’ve shared above in mind, and you’ll be able to customize your skincare routine like a pro!
