Reality TV star Lilo Aderogba, recently shared her skincare routine and her flawless milky complexion is awe-mazing. Knowing fully well that a regular skincare routine can help maintain the skin’s natural glow, preventing issues like acne and premature aging; Lilo has done us a favor, giving us a base for our facial care routine. Now let’s expound a little as we see some amazing benefits of this reverberating “skin care” on everybody’s lips.
Cleansing
The foundation of a good skincare routine is proper cleansing. Cleansing removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities from the surface of the skin. It unclogs pores and fully prepares the skin for further treatment. It is important to choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type- be it a face wash, a dry cleanser, or an oily cleanser. Make sure to use lukewarm water to wash your face and like Lilo, pat your face dry with a soft towel.
Toning
After cleansing, toning helps balance the skin’s PH levels and removes any residue left after cleansing. Toners also tighten the pores, hydrate the skin, and prepare it for moisturization. Alcohol-free toners are the best, especially those that contain natural ingredients like witch hazel, rose water, or aloe Vera. Apply the toner to a cotton pad and gently swipe it over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Serums
Serums are concentrated formulas that deliver active ingredients deep into the skin. They target specific skin concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or acne. Depending on your needs choose a serum that contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration, Vitamin C for brightening (just like Lilo), or retinol for anti-aging. Apply a small amount of serum to your face and neck, gently massaging it until fully absorbed. Allow the serum to penetrate the skin before moving on to the next step.
Moisturization
Keeping the skin hydrated is essential for overall skin health and preventing moisture loss. Moisturizers help to seal in moisture, provide essential nutrients, and create a protective barrier on the skin surface. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type and contains beneficial ingredients like antioxidants and vitamins. And make sure you gently massage it in upward motions.
Sun Protection
Sunscreen is an absolute must in any skincare routine, regardless of the weather or your skin tone. Sunscreens protect the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and apply it generously to all exposed areas of your skin.
Lip Balm
Finalizing your skincare routine by moisturizing your lips is of utmost importance. lip balm helps calm the lips that have turned dry and chapped. Since this area is thin, the skin is prone to dryness. However, the texture of the lip balm protects the skin, especially during the dry season. Moreover, while giving your lips hydration and nourishment, lip balms also add some glossy effect to the lips.
And there it is a perfect guide for your skincare routine. I know that we all want that milky and glowing skin, but let’s not forget that it takes time to see noticeable results and above all; Consistency is the key.
