The Importance of a Daily Skin Care Regimen

How often do you wash your face on a daily basis? If the answer was rarely, do you like the way your skin looks? So often clients say that they want to have good skin but they don’t want to do anything about it. Having younger acting and clear, beautiful skin takes effort, especially if you are trying to treat a skin condition like acne, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation.

If you want to really see results from a daily skin care regimen you are going to have to spend a little extra money to get good products that are pharmaceutical grade. You will see results much faster and your skin will benefit much more from the use of effective professional products. At Skindulgence spa we exclusively carry GlyMed Plus, which offers a wide variety of skin care products to treat a variety of skin conditions. GlyMed Plus products are designed to work in a 4 step system to make it easy for you to use our products correctly. Your daily skin care routine should contain at least four products, one from each step in the morning and evening.

So what are the most important steps of a daily skin care routine?

Step 1: Cleanse

First and foremost, you need to be cleansing your skin every day in the morning and evening. Our skin is in constant contact with dirt, pollution, debris, makeup, etc. Cleansing the skin at night to get all of the dirt and makeup off the skin, leaving you with a clean, but hydrated feeling. Using an active cleanser, either morning or night, will help to treat the skin conditions you are dealing with, including acne, pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles.

Step 2: Treat

This is where you will incorporate treatment products specific to your skin type. These products are going to go into the skin and really work at the cellular level to achieve the results you want. GlyMed Plus has several treatment products to treat all different skin concerns including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, Rosacea, dull skin, uneven tone and texture, sagging, and sensitive skin.

Step 3: Balance

Keeping your skin moisturized is one of the most important steps! Keeping the water content in the skin where it needs to be will benefit the skin in so many ways. It is going to make your makeup go on better, your skin will feel moisturized and supple, and the look of your skin will improve. It will drench the skin in moisture and antioxidants, which will replace the protective layer our skin needs in order to function properly. Even oily skin needs to be moisturized.

Step 4: Protect

This is probably the most important step of them all. SUNSCREEN!!!! Absolutely everyone needs to use a sunscreen ALL YEAR ROUND. Just because it’s cloudy does not mean that UV rays are not going to damage your skin. The damage the sun causes to your skin will age it faster than anything. All of our GlyMed Plus sunscreens are FDA approved and offer broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays. Our most popular is the Photo-Age Environmental Protection Gel 15. We call this the “sunscreen haters sunscreen” because it is lightweight, absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, and smells like a tropical vacation. Remember that sunscreen needs to be applied at least 30 minutes before going outside and several times throughout the day in order to get the full protection.
