The world of skincare can be difficult to understand, with the number of trends created each season and the number of product releases almost every minute! But don't worry, AMS BEAUTY helps you figure out how to take care of your skin in just 10 steps!
1) REMOVE MAKE-UP PROPERLY
If you are a makeup fan, you know this very well. Difficult to remove excess, down to the last drop of foundation or the last residue of mascara in the corner of the eye. And don't even think about wipes, they should be banned from your routine.
Which solution ? Double cleansing! Every day. We start with an initial oil cleanse to rid the skin of impurities, then reinforce with a water-based cleanser to eliminate residue.
2) SET A ROUTINE
For beautiful skin, you need to take care of it by providing it with everything it needs (hydration, nutrition, localized treatment against imperfections/signs of aging, etc.). Here is a universal routine that you can take as a basis in your daily life. Of course, depending on the needs and reactions of your skin, you can adjust it (for example, alternate serums according to the problems - dull skin, spots, etc. - or only use tonic lotion once a week if your skin is sensitized).
3) APPLY A MAKEUP BASE
The makeup base for the complexion acts as protection against the drying of the skin linked to the foundation or against external aggressions (wind, pollution, etc.). Depending on which one you choose, it can also fill in wrinkles, improve the texture of the skin or even it out. It is an essential step between day cream / sunscreen and foundation.
4) DON’T FORGET ON SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen is the holy grail in your skincare routine. Thanks to this step, which comes just after the day cream, it is a real protective barrier against the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays from the sun, the primary cause of skin cancer.
Hyperpigmentation, spots, wrinkles, premature aging, all of this has a solution: sunscreen, all year round, whatever your skin color !
5) LET THE SKIN BREATHE
If your skin isn't the healthiest or smoothest, there's no point hiding it under tons of makeup. It even has a negative effect on the health and texture of the skin. So, we use light materials for the complexion and above all we remove makeup thoroughly every evening !
6) CHECK EXPIRATION DATES
It is not for decoration that products have expiration dates. If you use an expired product, it could cause you many problems (bacteria, allergic reaction, etc.) so if your date is written (in numbers or in the form of an open jar with the number of months remaining) and it is exceeded, please throw away the product in question. Same if you don't remember when you bought it.
7) MAKE MASKS AND PEELS
Overall care is a godsend for the skin. At home or in a salon, there's nothing like a complete routine once or twice a month (peeling, mask, anti-blackhead treatment, light therapy, etc.) to achieve your skin goal. As they say, good skin = good mood!
8) MONITOR YOUR FOOD
Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day, this simple addition to your daily life can work wonders on your skin (and your hair or body, for that matter).
On the plate side, we make sure to provide the body with the right nutrients, vitamins and minerals . We say goodbye to food that is too oily , which can worsen the condition of the skin.
9) THE NECK IS MANDATORY
When applying treatments, you must not forget the neck, because it too ages. And he needs to be pampered. So, for anything that is cleanser, lotion or even cream, we apply them up to the neck, massaging it upwards to avoid sagging wrinkles in a few years.
10) DON’T FEEL YOUR FACE
Do not pop your pimples, you risk spreading bacteria and leaving a scar. We know it's very tempting but no fingers on your face, except to apply your skincare products.
