- How long does it take for a skincare product to work?
Everyone’s body is different and every product is different, so give it about one month to see if its helping, hurting or doesn’t seem to have any effect. Also, some products may seem to give you instant results, but this may just be temporary and superficial. If you’re going for lightening hyperpigmentation or reducing acne, these are long-term changes that usually take some time.
- What is a “clean skincare product” really?
This may be contrary to what you’ve heard, but clean products can be made from natural or synthetic (made in laboratories) ingredients. But generally, clean skincare products have non-toxic ingredients (ALWAYS look at the labels!), are clinically tested, strictly regulated, and safe to use for your skin and the environment.
- I’m drinking lots of water, so why is my skin dull?
Drinking a lot of water is wonderful for your skin, but there are other things that could be the cause of skin dullness. Some reasons can be not getting enough restful sleep, not eating a healthy diet, and using a skincare routine (or none at all!) that doesn’t suit your body. Solutions that are usually successful are eating foods rich in fatty acids and using collagen-boosting face serums. Steam cleaning your face is also a great way to get that healthy, luminous looking skin back.
- What are the best vitamins for radiant skin?
Some of the best vitamins for healthy glowing skin are Vitamins B, C and E. If used together they can reduce sun damage, prevent premature skin aging, improve skin tone and texture, boost moisture, and strengthen immunity. Vitamin C alone can protect skin from sun exposure, pollution, and cigarette smoke, and is one of the most effective ingredients for boosting collagen—a protein made by your body that makes skin appear smooth, plump and firm.
- Wearing sunscreen—do you have to?
Sunscreen could be one of the most important parts of your skin care routine because it prevents skin cancer, free radical damage, sun or age spots, and slows down premature aging. Sunscreen should be worn all through the year—prevention and protection are two mandatory actions in an effective skincare routine.
