The 10 rules to follow in a beauty routine to have beautiful skin

Even having established a facial routine and following it to the letter, the results are slow and sometimes never come! It is very likely that your routine is incomplete, that you are using the wrong products or the wrong gestures. The facial care routine does not necessarily need to be long or very complicated, but it must be precise to improve its effectiveness.

The 10 rules to follow in a face routine to have beautiful skin

1/ Properly identify your skin type before establishing a face routine

First of all, it is essential to know your skin type. There are four: normal skin, dry skin, combination skin, and oily skin. Be careful, it is important not to confuse skin type and skin condition. The type of skin comes from genetic heritage, it is not something that can be changed, the condition of the skin comes from the lifestyle, the care used or even from age. . For example, the skin condition can be: dehydrated skin, sensitive skin or even mature skin. Choose a treatment adapted to your skin type, before targeting the skin condition or concerns (dull complexion, imperfections, pigment spots, etc.) At MonCornerB, we make it easy for you by offering you an express skin diagnosis to perform on our site. We have also set up filters on our e-shop allowing you to shop by concern, and beauty files dedicated to all skin types and conditions, to help you find your way around!

2/ Don't miss out on facial cleansing

This is the first step in a face routine, and it is also the most important! It is essential to cleanse your skin well at least once a day. It is advisable to carry out a double cleansing (we start with an oil make-up removal and continue with an aqueous cleanser to get rid of all the impurities that may remain) every night before going to bed, even if you don't have makeup. Double cleansing is essential because it allows the skin to regenerate during the night, it, therefore, prevents skin aging, and helps cell renewal which makes the skin more radiant! In the morning, you can carry out a lighter skin cleansing, with a tonic lotion or a gentle cleanser. Beware of frequent mistakes during the cleaning stage: we forget the cotton of micellar water without rinsing which is much too aggressive for the skin, or the make-up remover wipes with irritating formulas.

3/ Moisturize your skin well in your face routine

No secret, the key to beautiful skin is hydration. All skin types need it, even the oiliest, indeed it is not because the skin is oily that it cannot suffer from dehydration. In addition, moisturizing your skin well has many benefits, the skin is plumped, luminous and radiant, and it prevents premature aging. It is important to choose a product adapted to your needs and skin type. Attention, do not confuse hydration and nutrition. Dehydrated skin, for example, will need moisturizing products, i.e. products formulated from aqueous ingredients such as creams, lotions, or gels. Dry skin needs nutrition, it turns to products composed of fatty substances, such as butter, face oils, or nourishing balms.

4/ choose organic face care with sun protection

For you, is sunscreen only at the beach or in the snow? You are making a big mistake! It is mandatory to wear sun protection all year round because we are regularly exposed to UV rays. Putting on organic sunscreen is the best way to protect your skin from premature skin aging, pigment spots, and inflammation. Many brands have also integrated SPF into their beauty products, such as in moisturizing creams for example. Two-in-one products that make it possible not to forget sun protection and that promise better skin quality.

5/ Include a facial exfoliant in your beauty routine

Exfoliation is an important step to get rid of blackheads, enlarged pores, pigment spots, or any other kind of blemishes. Facial scrubs eliminate dead cells and promote the absorption of skincare products, which will therefore be more effective. Exfoliating facial treatments are also to be chosen according to your skin type. Chemical exfoliants such as AHA or BHA are recommended for sensitive skin because they are less irritating than mechanical scrubs (grain, for example). It is advisable to exfoliate your skin at least once or twice a week, unless you use a very gentle exfoliant, such as a lotion, in which case you can use it daily.

6/ The importance of face lotion in a beauty routine

This is the most forgotten step in aface routineand yet it has many benefits. Integrating an organic tonic lotion into your beauty routine adds a veil of hydration to the skin and promotes the absorption of skincare products. But above all, it is used to get rid of the minerals present in tap water such as chlorine or limestone which dry out the skin, cause irritation and redness. Tonic lotion also helps rebalance the pH of the skin after cleansing and is often formulated with super ingredients that can be helpful depending on the concerns. Lotions can be in the form of hydrosol, thermal water, or even a mist.

7/ Regularity in a beauty routine

For a beauty routine to be effective, you have to be patient. The skin renews itself every 28 days, so you have to wait at least a month before you see the real results of a product. This is why it is important not to change your face routine excessively. The ideal is to have a routine for each season in order to respond to the concerns and changes in your skin.

8/ Adopt a well-being gesture in your face care routine

Buying the right products is one thing, but you still have to know how to apply them with the right gestures. In addition to helping to have beautiful skin, it also does a lot of good in the mind!

Massage your face makeup remover: Apply it to the skin and gently massage it in circular movements, it allows good penetration and boosts microcirculation.

Squeeze your organic serum: Squeeze the pump of the serum in the palm of your hand, first apply it to the outside of the face and focus on the places where imperfections are most present.

Apply your organic moisturizer: Apply your cream following a very specific pattern, start with the forehead, the cheeks, the jaw, and finally don't forget: the neck and the décolleté.

For skincare pros, you can even equip yourself with small accessories such as the Gua sha or the jade roller, which promise radiant, smooth, and detoxified skin.

9/ Opt for a beauty routine with an eye contour care

The eye contour is an area often forgotten in a beauty routine, yet it is the part of the body where the skin is the thinnest and most fragile. Like the rest of the face, the eye contour can face imperfections such as dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines and wrinkles. From the age of 25, this part of the face requires specific care, and there is a multitude of them. Creams, serums, make-up removers and even roll-ons, there is something for everyone and for all concerns.

The face serum is the treatment of choice to target one or more concerns. To increase its effectiveness, it is advisable to apply it immediately after a scrub or an organic tonic lotion. The serum is the care by excellence. It helps to fight redness, imperfections, signs of aging, pigment spots... And exists in different forms: cream, gel, or oil.
