It's a fact that not everyone takes care of their skin the same way.
Perhaps you're still at a stage where you sometimes go to sleep without removing your makeup, or maybe you've already started including some skincare products in your routine, like a day or night cream. But what almost all of us share is a moment when we realize that with small changes we can noticeably improve the appearance of our skin. If you're at that stage, you're in the right place. Keep reading.
Although the passage of time naturally ages the skin, there are other factors that also affect it and that we can control: pollution, dirt, sun exposure...
Here we share three mistakes (and their solutions) that may be accelerating your skin's aging without you realizing it.
- Not cleansing your skin properly. Facial hygiene has the main purpose of removing accumulated dirt, whether generated by the skin itself or by external factors. This dirt is usually oil-based, which makes it easier for other pollutants like smoke or smog to adhere, not to mention makeup residue. Here's an important warning: neither water nor makeup remover wipes are enough. If you don't believe us, just look at how clean a wipe really is for your pores.
The solution: double cleansing at least once a day, ideally at night. First, apply an oil-based cleanser to dry skin to remove makeup, sebum, sweat, and pollution. Then, after removing it and drying your face, apply a water-based cleanser to get rid of any residue and prepare your skin for the rest of your routine. - Never exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation depends on your skin type, and it's not advisable to generalize. Although we'll go into more detail in future articles, we want to give you a simple recommendation: incorporate a toner that improves hydration, renews cells, soothes the skin, and evens out skin tone and texture. Our MIZU toner, for example, fulfills all these functions, as it promotes the synthesis of type I collagen, provides natural micro-exfoliation, and contains hyaluronic acid and AHAs. Its ultra-light texture absorbs instantly. Seriously, it doesn't get any simpler.
- Not using antioxidants. With minimal effort, you can notice significant changes. Antioxidants protect cells against free radicals, which helps prevent premature aging. Our KI is the first step in the routine, and it's also packed with antioxidants thanks to its formula. Now, we simply want you to try it and incorporate it into your routine to enjoy its benefits: radiance, hydration, and improved texture. You can't ask for more with so little. https://www.koenjapan.com/products/ki-balsamo-limpiador
