Simple Skin Care Routine 🌸
💛Hello comunidad de hive!💛
A few days ago I had the great opportunity to attend a Master Class on makeup and facial care given by an instructor and manager of the Mary Kay brand in Colombia. We were received in a facility that was created to dictate different courses, it was a very pleasant experience and I had a little learning that I would like to share with you because I think that taking care of our face is vital for our health. Surely you are like me, a carefree person who has enough things to think about to not wash your face with the same soap you use to shower and also dry it with the same towel you use to dry your body... We have been doing this for years! And our skin is just now crying out for us to pay more attention to it. Here's what a simple skincare routine would look like for your day-to-day life.
Lo primero que tiene que saber es que lavar tu rostro con el jabón que usas normalmente para lavar tu cuerpo está fatal, conseguir una espuma o jabón fácil ideal para tu tipo de piel para lavar tu rostro cada mañana y cada noche es lo mejor. Es muy importante que el tipo de productos químicos que apliquemos en nuestro lindo rostro sea especialmente para tu tipo de piel. Recordemos que hay personas que pueden tener el cutis normal, graso, mixto o seco. Una buena forma para saber cuál es tu tipo de piel si aun no lo sabes, es lavándote la cara en la mañana a penas te levantas, a las horas podrás notar fácilmente si esta tersa y suave es porque tienes una piel normal, si está muy tensa y sin brillo tienes una piel seca, si notas mucho brillo y grasa obviamente es grasa, o por el contrario si sientes que en algunos lugares la piel de tu rostro esta reseca y en otros lugares llenos de grasa tienes una piel mixta.
The first thing you need to know is that washing your face with the soap you normally use to wash your body is wrong, getting an easy foam or soap ideal for your skin type to wash your face every morning and every night is the best thing to do. It is very important that the type of chemical products we apply on our pretty face is especially for your skin type. Remember that there are people who may have normal, oily, combination or dry skin. A good way to know what your skin type is if you don't know it yet, is to wash your face in the morning as soon as you wake up, after a few hours you can easily notice if it is smooth and soft it is because you have normal skin, if it is very tight and dull you have dry skin, if you notice a lot of shine and grease it is obviously oily, or on the contrary if you feel that in some places the skin of your face is dry and in other places full of grease you have a mixed skin.
Ahora bien, ya que hemos adivinado nuestro tipo de piel, procedemos a elegir el primer producto para la limpieza facial, ¿adivinaron cuál es? Correcto, el jabón, hay cantidades de espumas limpiadoras o jabones en gel y en barra, personalmente prefiero los jabones en gel porque son menos abrasivos para nuestro rostro. Comenzare mostrándoles la rutina facial desde de la mañana hasta la noche. Cuando te despiertes, debes lavar tu rostro con abundante agua, tomas una cantidad de jabón en gel para tu rostro y te lo frotas con ambas manos para luego lavarte bien la cara. Luego de haber lavado bien nuestro rostro, debes secarlo con una toalla especial de microfibra que solo utilices para secar esa zona de tu rostro, ¿ok? No para lavarte el cabello u otro lugar de tu cuerpo, solo el rostro. Si secamos nuestro rostro con la misma toalla con la que nos secamos el cuerpo no estaremos ayudando mucho a nuestra piel debido a que pasaremos las mismas bacterias o células que están en la toalla que usamos de diario en el baño.
Now that we have guessed our skin type, we proceed to choose the first product for facial cleansing, did you guess what it is? Right, the soap, there are lots of foaming cleansers or gel and bar soaps, personally I prefer gel soaps because they are less abrasive to our face. I will start by showing you the facial routine from morning to night. When you wake up, you should wash your face with plenty of water, take an amount of gel soap for your face and rub it with both hands and then wash your face well. After you have washed your face well, you should dry it with a special microfiber towel that you only use to dry that area of your face, ok? Not to wash your hair or any other part of your body, only your face. If we dry our face with the same towel with which we dry our body we will not be helping our skin because we will pass the same bacteria or cells that are in the towel we use daily in the bathroom.
Luego de lavar y secar tu rostro usaremos un tónico facial, la función del tónico es refrescar, humectar la piel y la mayoría trae vitaminas especiales para que la piel del rostro se mantenga saludable, personalmente les recomiendo usar un tónico a base de agua de rosas. Ahora viene un paso super importante y que no importa que tipo de piel tengas siempre debes usar para que tu piel se vea sana e hidratada, este paso es la crema hidratante, hoy en día hay muchas marcas para elegir este tipo de productos, normalmente los más costosos están dermatológicamente comprobados y tienen muchas vitaminas y componentes buenos para la piel, pero como tenemos mucha variedad estoy segura que podrás encontrar uno para tu tipo de piel y que se ajuste a tu bolsillo.
After washing and drying your face we will use a facial tonic, the function of the tonic is to refresh, moisturize the skin and most of them have special vitamins to keep the facial skin healthy, personally I recommend using a rose water based tonic. Now comes a super important step and that no matter what type of skin you have you should always use to make your skin look healthy and hydrated, this step is the moisturizer, today there are many brands to choose this type of products, usually the most expensive are dermatologically tested and have many vitamins and good components for the skin, but as we have a lot of variety I'm sure you can find one for your skin type and that fits your pocket.
Para terminar la rutina de skincare de cada mañana les quiero hablar de un producto que hemos estado evitando usar durante mucho tiempo y que debemos empezar a invitarlo a que forme parte de nuestro día a día. Primero déjame hacerte una pregunta querido lector, ¿cuándo fue la última vez que te aplicaste protector solar en el rostro? Claro, la última vez que fuiste a la playa con tu familia de vacaciones hace unos dos años…No te preocupes, la verdad es que yo también, pero esto debe cambiar hoy mismo. La asesora de la marca Mary Kay Colombia, que nos estaba dictando este curso nos comentó de un experimento que se realizó con un señor que trabajaba como chofer de un camión, se llamaba Bill Mc Elligott (te invito a que busques este caso en internet y mires las fotos) la parte derecha de su rostro que había estado expuesta a grandes cantidades de sol por la ventana del camión estaba muy envejecida y con marcas y arrugas como la de una persona muy mayor, y su lado izquierdo que había estado dentro del camión se veía mucho menos envejecida que la anterior. Estos son los efectos tan notables que pueden causar no solo el sol sino los rayos ultravioletas a los que estamos expuestos todo el día, incluyendo los bombillos y las luces de los celulares y pantallas. Por esta razón el protector solar es fundamental en nuestra rutina de skincare. Una pequeña cantidad que puedes retocar dos veces más a lo largo de tu día.
To finish the skincare routine every morning I want to talk about a product that we have been avoiding using for a long time and that we should start inviting it to be part of our daily routine. First let me ask you a question dear reader, when was the last time you applied sunscreen on your face? Sure, the last time you went to the beach with your family on vacation about two years ago...Don't worry, the truth is I did too, but that needs to change today. The consultant of the Mary Kay Colombia brand, who was teaching us this course, told us about an experiment that was done with a man who worked as a truck driver, his name was Bill Mc Elligott (I invite you to search this case on the internet and look at the pictures) the right side of his face that had been exposed to large amounts of sunlight through the window of the truck was very aged and with marks and wrinkles like that of a very old person, and his left side that had been inside the truck looked much less aged than the previous one. These are the very noticeable effects that can be caused not only by the sun but by the ultraviolet rays that we are exposed to all day long, including light bulbs and cell phone lights and screens. That's why sunscreen is essential in our skincare routine. A small amount that you can touch up two more times throughout your day.
Ahora les contare un poco de lo que vendría siendo una rutina sencilla de skincare para la noche. Si eres el tipo de personas que les encanta el maquillaje, antes de proceder a lavar tu rostro debes eliminar el maquillaje con un agua micelar o desmaquillante. Ojo en esto, el agua micelar siempre debe ser lavada, nunca se debe dejar sobre el rostro. Luego de haber retirado tu maquillaje, procedemos a usar el jabón facial, el tónico facial u agua de rosas. Lo siguiente es opcional, pero si has oído hablar de los serum o sueros faciales puedes aplicar uno después del tónico, este te ayudara a combatir el envejecimiento de la piel y por ser productos líquidos químicos muy concentrados, penetran más fácil en la piel causando excelentes resultados. Por último, aplicar una crema facial hidratante de noche para tu tipo de piel y listo.
Now I will tell you a little bit about what would be a simple skincare routine for the evening. If you are the type of person who loves makeup, before proceeding to wash your face you should remove the makeup with a micellar water or makeup remover. Be careful, micellar water should always be washed off, never leave it on your face. After you have removed your makeup, proceed to use facial soap, facial toner or rose water. The following is optional, but if you have heard of serums or facial serums you can apply one after the toner, this will help you to combat skin aging and because they are very concentrated liquid chemical products, they penetrate more easily into the skin causing excellent results. Finally, apply a moisturizing facial cream at night for your skin type and that's it.
Haciendo uso de esta rutina diaria veras mejores resultados en tu piel, recuerda que el secreto del éxito es la constancia, no vale que te saltes un paso o varios días, además de esto, para tener una piel saludable, hidratada y libre de manchas es importante complementar esta rutina teniendo una buena alimentación, hacer al menos media hora de ejercicios al día y toma abundante agua. Nota importante: No dejes tus productos e implementos de skincare dentro de tu baño, no es recomendable y es muy poco higiénico. ¡Espero les haya servido de mucha ayuda este post, muchas gracias por leerme y recuerda usar protector solar y tomar agua todos los días!
Using this daily routine you will see better results in your skin, remember that the secret of success is consistency, it is not worth skipping a step or several days, in addition to this, to have a healthy, hydrated and blemish free skin it is important to complement this routine by having a good diet, do at least half an hour of exercise a day and drink plenty of water. Important note: Do not leave your skincare products and implements inside your bathroom, it is not recommended and it is very unhygienic, I hope you found this post helpful, thank you very much for reading me and remember to use sunscreen and drink water every day!
