The Step-by-Step Process for an Optimal Facial Skin Care Routine

Woman Enjoys Restore Hydrafacial treatment

It’s quite normal for an individual to feel overwhelmed with the amount of information available about the best skincare routines but it doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Sure, there are some conflicting products and steps along the way, but you should keep it moderately simple and efficient.

With any skincare routine, quality is what matters. Follow the next 5 steps, and you’ll have a whole new glow and youthful feel to your face.

1st Step – Cleaning

It can’t be stressed enough how important it is for an individual to wash their face at least 2 times a day.

Cleaning your face regularly removes grime, oil, and other impurities. The skin on your face is constantly being invaded by bacteria, pollutants, viruses, dirt, and old (dead) skin cells throughout the course of the day.

These pollutants are removed by daily facial cleansing, giving the skin a clean appearance. Without cleaning, a heavy layer of filth and grime would cover your skin, making it impossible for other substances to absorb into the skin adequately.

Maintaining the skin’s proper hydration level also requires regular facial cleaning and the application of a suitable moisturizer. Skin that is dehydrated feels rough, wrinkled, and older-looking. Cleaning the skin helps control its PH levels, allowing for adequate liquid absorption.

Overabundant surface dirt buildup can clog follicles, trapping sebum, sweat, and dead skin cells. Since there is no sebum on the skin’s surface, bacteria can enter the follicle and cause inflammation, which allows acne to form.

2nd Step – Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the use of a chemical, granular substance, or exfoliation instrument to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.

By releasing the connections that hold dead skin cells together, exfoliating aids in the removal of these cells while also promoting the rapid growth of new skin cells and your natural glow.

The beneficial contents of your skin care products may not be effectively absorbed if you have dull, dry skin, which acts as an impenetrable barrier between your skin and the nourishing products. But when your pores are clear, and your dead, dry skin is eliminated, your skin will absorb anything you apply to it, gaining more benefits.

Our HydraFacial Therapy starts with a thorough exfoliation. Our esthetician uses a “magic wand” that mechanically gets rid of all the built-up dead skin on your face, revealing the healthy layer that’s in desperate need of further cleansing.

3rd Step – Unclogging Pores

Excess oil, dead skin, cosmetic product residue, bacteria, pollution, and other environmental debris all contribute to clogged pores. Your pores, which are also known as sebaceous glands, are actually a component of your hair follicles.

Sebum, an oily fluid that gives your skin hydration and protection, is the primary function of these glands. Although sebum production is essential for preserving the health and suppleness of your skin, producing too much of it might result in clogged pores.

Sebum overproduction can develop a mix of excess oil with dead skin cells and other pore-clogging substances. Your cheeks, nose, or other parts of your face may get clogged pores as a result.

With HydraFacial therapy, this step is done painlessly. The pores are unclogged by a trained professional who gets rid of your skin impurities. Doing so yourself could result in some unwanted effects, especially if a certain product is used in abundance that could actually damage your skin.

4th Step – Hydration

One of the best ways to rehydrate your skin is with antioxidant peptides.
Peptides are found in the skin naturally and are a common ingredient in skin care products for a legitimate reason.

Certain proteins essential to the skin are made up of peptides, which are amino acids. Peptides can encourage your skin to produce collagen, which is one of the essential building blocks of youthful skin. More collagen can result in firmer skin.

HydraFacial Therapy uses peptides as the final chapter of a basic skincare routine but if you want to fully maximize results, there’s an extra step to your skincare routine.

5th Step – Red Light Therapy and Local Cryotherapy

If you want to reap the full benefits of HydraFacial Therapy, the warm, nourishing facial red light therapy and cell-repair kickstart effect of cryotherapy will grant you the maximum results. They help your body promote lymphatic drainage, or in other words the removal of toxins.

Lymphatic fluid circulates through lymph vessels, which connect to lymph nodes. White blood cells capture and eliminate dangerous particles, such as germs, as they move through the lymph nodes.

Lymphatic fluid circulates continuously, just like blood does in the circulatory system. If it stops flowing or gets clogged, lymph fluid builds up, causing your face to bloat.

While on the surface a fairly simple procedure, performing a proper skin care routine requires deep knowledge and tools, so it’s always better to leave it to the professionals at Restore Hyper Wellness.
