Today is World Healthy Skin Day, and it’s the perfect reminder of just how important our skin is.
Skin is important for many reasons, but one of the most obvious is how old, or how young, it makes you look. A lot of people, myself included, take their skin for granted when they’re young. But looking after it is very, very important, and there are multiple reasons why you should do it, not just to look healthy and younger.
The Two Types of Skincare Products
There are really three types of skincare products worth knowing about.
1. Bland products
These don’t do much. They simply trap a little bit of moisture in the skin.
2. Products with active ingredients
Think beta hydroxy acids, alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and similar ingredients. These are very important to use, you don’t need a prescription for them, and you can use them daily.
Know Your Skin: Get a Baseline
A great idea is to have an Observ 520x skin scan to really get to know your skin, establish a baseline, and track what direction it’s heading in over time.
Key Takeaways
- Look after your skin and use active ingredients, it’s very, very important
- It’s best to source these products from a medical clinic
- Make sure the strength is decent. You’ll often see products listing an active ingredient like AHA, but at only 1%, which isn’t enough to make a real difference
