Chances are you’ve seen celebrities and influencers alike posting about sugar scrubs on your timeline. This type of face scrub happens to be trending as of late and with good reason. You’ve likely used a face scrub as part of your skin care routine a time or two. After all, it’s one of the most popular skin care products, up there with facial cleansers, moisturizers, and face masks. But what’s the deal with using sugar scrubs for exfoliation? Keep reading to learn all about this mechanical exfoliant, including how to use a sugar scrub, sugar scrub benefits you need to know about, and our best sugar scrubs to add to your routine.
What is a Sugar Scrub?
Let’s back up a sec: A face scrub is a skin care product that can be used to mechanically exfoliate dead skin cell build-up from the surface of your skin. And sugar scrubs are a type of face scrub. Typically, they’re formulated with sugar granules, which are used to help physically exfoliate that dead skin cell build-up. Exfoliating with a sugar scrub can help create the appearance of smoother, glowing skin. Just keep in mind that generally, you wouldn’t exfoliate with a sugar scrub every day—consider it a sweet treat for your skin that you’d use a few times a week. That being said, sugar scrubs typically offer gentle yet effective exfoliation.
What are the benefits of using a Sugar Scrub?
If you’re curious about using sugar scrubs in your skin care routine, the following benefits are worth taking note of.
#1: Remove build-up. Like we mentioned, a sugar scrub is a scrub that’s used for mechanical exfoliation. This type of exfoliation removes the top layer of skin cells, per the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), as well as impurities, dirt, and excess oils.
#2: Brighten skin. Not only does exfoliating with a sugar scrub remove build-up from your skin, but it also helps to create a more radiant complexion, as the AAD states the removal of dead cells leaves the skin looking brighter.
#3: Gentle exfoliation. It’s no secret that certain exfoliation options can be harsh on your skin. Sugar scrubs are a gentler exfoliation option, as the sugar granules melt onto your skin for exfoliation that’s kind to your complexion. Love that!
So what is the best Sugar Scrub for your skin?
Ready to add a sugar scrub to your skin care routine? We’ve got the best option for you. Inveda’s Sugar Scrub is enriched with Grape Seed Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil to effectively remove dead cells off your skin without making it dry. It seals in the skin’s moisture and keeps it moist, soft and supple. It also smells lovely.
Now that you know all about sugar scrubs and how to use them, you may be wondering how you can incorporate one into your skin care routine. We’ve got you covered! Here’s a step-by-step guide for using a sugar scrub as part of your daily regimen.
Step 1: Use a facial cleanser
Just as with any skin care routine, you want to start by cleansing your skin of any impurities with a facial cleanser. The Purifying Neem & Gotukola Face Wash is perfect for using with the sugar scrub.
Step 2: Grab your Sugar Scrub
Once your face is cleansed, it’s time to exfoliate your skin. Follow the steps listed above to remove any dead skin cells with your face scrub. You can include this step in your routine three times a week—more than that could lead to irritation.
Step 3: Apply a face mask
A sugar scrub isn’t the only skin care product that should be used regularly but not every single day. To give your skin a little extra TLC, you can also use a face mask up to three times a week.
Step 4: Apply a Vitamin C Serum
Using a vitamin C serum can help restore a healthy radiance to your skin. After washing off your face mask, simply apply it to your face and neck, smoothing it over your skin. Looking for a product recommendation? Let us suggest the Concentrated Vitamin C Serum, which contains 20% pure vitamin C. The serum is formulated without water and produced in controlled conditions to limit its exposure to oxygen and maximize its potency.
Step 5: Use a Facial Moisturiser
Anytime you wash your face, you want to make sure you use a facial moisturizer to replenish any moisture you may have stripped from your skin. This is especially important after using a face scrub and face mask since you will have rinsed off your face multiple times. For your moisturizer, try the Healing Day Cream, which offers intense and continuous hydration, leaving you with fresh, healthy-looking, and mattified skin.
Should I Exfoliate Around My Eyes?
We all know how important exfoliating our skin is, but did you know your eyes need exfoliating, too? We have been cautioned forever about being extra careful and extra gentle with the skin around our eyes. Lately I’m beginning to think that maybe we have taken this to practice to the extreme. I find that some of my clients are developing milia (A milium cyst is small, white bump that typically appears on the nose and cheeks. These cysts are often found in groups, and in these cases are called milia. The cysts occur when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin) on their eyelids, which may be due to excess dead cell build-up. When I question them about their daily and weekly cleansing routines, I learn that these clients are barely touching their eyelids.
So why does this happen?
Another source contributing to the formation of milia could be build-up of old makeup that is not completely removed. Makeup can get clogged in the roots of the eyelashes and cause clogged oil ducts, which can then lead to stys — not fun! My own observation is that when working with these clients’ skin we can achieve remarkable rejuvenation overall, but their eyes continue to look older than the rest of their faces if they continue to miss the important step of completely removing old make up and dead cell build-up.
“The thin skin around your eyes typically looks ten years older than the rest of your face, since dead cells dull the area and lines emerge here first,” says New York City dermatologist Neal Schultz. “Gentle daily exfoliation of the eye area can help it look younger and glowing by creating a smoother surface that better reflects light,” he adds.
Exfoliating also promotes collagen production which can make that thin, fragile tissue stronger and more resilient. “People focus on how showing emotion causes wrinkles, but what is more important is that you’re keeping skin elastic enough to flatten out again afterward, and exfoliation is an essential part of that process,” says Schultz.
What can you do?
One way to prevent milia and other unwanted build-up around the eyes, is to gently exfoliate the eyelids after removing your makeup—every night! Very lightly sweep a soft, moist washcloth over the surfaces of your eyelids and through the roots of your lashes. This will lightly remove loose surface cells and prevent build-up on your lash line.
In addition, you can use a soothing Toner that contains AHAs, BHAs, along with skin soothers and brighteners that together act as a gentle but effective once-weekly treatment.
If you are already using the toner daily on your face, just continue the cotton pad on over your upper and lower lids once a week. Be sure not to have the cotton dripping wet and don’t get it inside your eyes. As always, first test on a small area before applying widely. After cleansing your eyes thoroughly, don’t forget to follow up with your daily anti-aging eye gel or treatment.
The follow up!
After exfoliation all skin is more absorbent and receptive to the benefits of corrective skin products and your eyes are no exception. An excellent ingredient for eyelid rejuvenation is Beautifeye™, which noticeably lifts and firms upper eyelids, reduces wrinkle depth, puffiness, and dark circles, and increases volume and tissue density. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is also highly effective. It strengthens architecture, steps up firm suppleness and springy bounce back. These two ingredients are found in my Young Skincare Illuminating Eye Lift, which retracts puffiness and brightens discolorations, too. You’ll see noticeable change in your eyelid tissue after just one week of use.
Exfoliating your eyelids and following up with a potent, youth restoring treatment can make your “windows to the soul” more expressive, fresh and alluring.
2020 things are best left… well, behind. While you experimented with a multi-step routine for a glowy ‘zoom face’ or couldn’t find the motivation to prioritize your skin, things changed in the world of skincare. The search bar replaced offline browsing, social media became all encompassing and ‘maskne’ or mask induced breakouts became a real thing.
Looking ahead, here are some skincare trends that we see growing in 2021:
Hand Care
The incessant hand washing, dish washing and sanitizing from 2020 has made hand care increasingly important. After a year of clinical-smelling sanitizers, our hands begged for everything luxurious – from indulgent body butters to pleasant hand creams that bring back that softness and hydration. If someone asks whether we believe hand care will find a place in 2021, we’ll definitely put our ‘hand up.’
Preventive Routines
Gone are the days where we felt a skincare routine was ‘optional.’ With greater awareness, the focus is now on dealing with skin issues before they ‘pop’ up. Whether it’s fighting off early signs of fine lines, dealing with regular toxins and sun-damage or caring for acne scarring, preventive skincare routines are going to cement their place in 2021. From barrier repairing serums enriched with hydrators like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, to daily-use cleansers with replenishing ceramides, effective and protective products will continue to find their way to skincare shelves.
Label Transparency
TBH, authenticity is an all-time trend, but with access to greater information, the demand for label transparency in skincare is going to have even greater importance in 2021. As the ‘clean beauty’ industry gets more crowded, there will be greater onus on the part of individual brands to ‘come clean’ about their ingredients.
Targeted Use of AHAs & BHAs
Acids have been all the rage for the last couple of years and the fact that most people now understand the context of acids as hero ingredients rather than something scary, has sky-rocketed their popularity. After the initial boost, however, 2021 is likely to see more focused, targeted use of skincare products with acids. AHAs and BHAs with well-planned synergistic formulations in single products that target specific issues like acne and pigmentation serums are likely to be picked over multiple individual products that can lead to over-stimulation and irritation.
Online Consultations
While dermatology moved online during the pandemic, buying skincare online was already showing an upward trend before that. With more than 91% consumers* now conducting their research for beauty and skincare products online, it will continue to be increasingly important for brands to provide the best recommendation tools for their skincare products. From skin quizzes to personalized consultations, skincare online is likely to see a big leap in 2021.
5 signs you need to change your skincare routine right now
It’s good having a regular skincare routine, but if your skin doesn’t have noticeable improvements despite putting so much hard work, whether it’s exfoliation or masks, then we have a piece of news for you; It’s time to change your skincare regime.
Try our balanced 5 Step Skincare Routine. If you’re still not sure of it, here are some symptoms that will help you give a final go-ahead to the massive change your skincare is asking for.
Dry/Tight Skin
This might be due to the fact that you’re over-exfoliating the skin, or your skin is not able to hold the moisture due to the current range of products you’re using. You need a cream that deeply moisturizes the skin and at the same time, a serum that could hold it for you all day long.
One of the other reasons for this is using soaps and face washes that has retinol, BHAs, AHAs and many synthetic formulas that deprive the skin of its natural oil production and take out excessive oils from the pores. It is recommended to use natural products for your skin so that you can stay away from the harms of chemical compounds.
If you’re feeling tight and dry skin, we recommend you to take a break from exfoliation till you see a noticeable improvement in the skin texture.
Oily Skin
It is one of the common problems and peaks in the summertime. If your skin is oily, even if you’re using deep oil cleansers, the problem is that you’re over-drying your skin, and as a cop-up, your skin is producing more oil, which makes the whole process counterintuitive. You need to have very light moisturizers and a few times a day to cop up with the problem.
Rough Patches and texture
This happens if you don’t pay attention to dead skin cells, and as a result, your skin has patches and uneven tone. This can easily be solved by having a good face scrub. But if your current scrub is not doing the job right you need to change it. Use natural scrub that is free from the chemical formula to make sure the whole process is beneficial for your skin.
Occasional Acne and Red Bumps
While occasional acne is usually a hormonal issue, but it can also be your skin telling that the products you’re using are irritating the inner layers and pores, leading to the acne and bumps. Make sure the products you are using are compatible with your skin, and your skin is reacting positively to it.
Sensitive Care or Redness
Redness is mostly caused by outdoor factors like prolonging contact with pollution, sunlight or sweat. If your skin is sensitive, make sure you use products that are mild on the skin, try going all-natural and also, exfoliate a little less. Because sensitive skin means your epidermis can get irritated very quickly, so excessive exfoliation can trigger the redness. Avoid going to extreme weather conditions to prevent redness.
If your skin is showing all these signs, you know you got to change the skincare routine, and make it more suitable for your skin.
Difference between day and night cream
Creams are an important part of any skin routine, both day and night but it has been a very debatable and interesting topic for most - why do you need both day and night creams?
Well, to understand the benefits and importance, we need to know what is the difference and purpose of the day and night creams, so let’s start with it!!
Day Creams
During the day, our skin is exposed to sunrays, pollution or different foreign particles when you’re out there shopping, or going to work. Not only do you need a cream that protects you from the effects, but also heal damaged skin from prolonged exposure.
Day creams have anti-oxidants, anti-aging properties, some of them even have caffeine to make the skin look refreshed. They are usually made of non-greasy formulas so that your skin doesn’t lose its shine and glow.
It’s the perfect mix of everything that makes them worth including in your daily routine. One of the most important benefits of a day cream is that it helps with moisturizing, so if you’re heading outside, don’t forget to use some on the face for ever glowing skin.
Night Creams
The purpose of night creams are completely different, on the one side where day creams help in protecting the skin, night cream help in the recreation process.
Night creams are made for doing the construction work for the skin, which means, all the repairing, restoring, rejuvenating and regenerating are done with a mixture of highly potent ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, retinol, etc
The formulas are designed so that the skin absorbs the slow moisture at night and when you awake your skin would be all refreshed and hydrated. Night creams are usually heavier, they slowly penetrate the skin, have a richer composition and go deeper into the skin.
Do we need both?
Now that you know what they do, the real question arises whether you should use both. The answer is yes, but don’t forget that since both the creams serve a different purpose and are applied at different times both are necessary.
If the word oil throws you off, we get it. Maybe it’s because the idea of putting oil on, say, your acne-prone face seems certifiably insane (it isn’t), or maybe your skin is so sensitive you think you can’t use an oil (you can), or maybe you just think the whole concept of face oils is too confusing for your low-maintenance needs (it definitely is not).
Whatever the reason, we’re here to shout from the rooftops that face oil is the one product that can actually treat your skin issues, while giving you the bright, glowy, clear face of your dreams. And yes, every single skin type can use it (according to me, your derm, and your derm’s derm). So to prove it to you—and to give you zero further excuses to forego an oil-filled life—we broke down the very best face oils for your oily, sensitive, dry, broken-out, and, yes, even your “normal” skin ahead. Better still, celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau walks us through exactly how to use them for maximum glow.
Different types of skin types and face oils suited for them:
Oily Skin:
It sounds counterintuitive, but the right oil can not only act as an astringent to rid your face of excess grease but will also help stabilize and regulate your skin’s sebum production (i.e. your natural skin oil) to make you less oily overall. And let’s get the whole texture issue out of the way: because of their different molecular weights, many oils feel more like a serum or essence so you’re not stuck feeling sebum-ridden.
Sealing in moisture and using the oil as the last step, after moisturizing. “When you use a moisturizer for oily skin, it’s generally lightweight and oil-free so you want these ingredients to absorb into the skin first to avoid any potential blocking or clogging of the pores. Then, you can add a protective layer of oil over your moisturizer to prevent water loss.”
What To Use:
Not only is jojoba an incredibly lightweight and breathable oil (making it great for combination skin that still needs some moisture), but, because jojoba actually breaks down and dissolves sebum, it’ll also help control your shine.
If your skin is incredibly oily—as in you’ve never once felt a dry patch on your face—opt for grape seed oil. It’s a natural astringent (and a bit more drying than jojoba oil), so it’ll help mattify your skin.
Dry skin:
You would think that any face oil would automatically be a Cupid-level match for dry skin, but, like all things in beauty, it’s not that simple. Some oils are naturally more astringent and lightweight than others (like jojoba, grape seed, and pomegranate oil), so drier types want to use a rich oil that’s high in oleic acid—a fatty acid that helps condition skin, lock in moisture, and reduce irritation from dryness.
“Mix 3-5 drops directly in with your night time moisturizer, and apply to both the face and neck. You can also smooth over your moisturizer to provide a protective barrier to prevent dry air from pulling moisture out from the skin.”
What to use:
It’s intensely hydrating and simple and gentle enough for anyone with eczema, dermatitis, or just really, really dry skin. It’s also incredibly high in vitamin A (i.e. the stuff retinol comes from), giving it some line-smoothing and zit-fighting power when used topically over time.
This oil manages to absorb into skin within a few minutes of massaging it on, yet it’s still rich enough to moisturize and calm your dry skin all day—or night—long (thanks to a heavy dose of fatty acids).
Acne-prone skin:
What if I told you the key to reducing your breakouts is to slather your face with oil? Too late—that’s exactly what I’m telling you. Most acne treatments on the market are filled with irritating ingredients that strip your skin of natural oils. When your skin is dry and inflamed, it overproduces sebum, leading to pimples and blackheads. Acne-safe face oils, however, work to nourish your skin, so your body can heal the zits you have without causing more. Kill ‘em with kindness, right?
Rouleau suggests following the same routine as for oily skin, as the last step. If you’re still terrified an oil will worsen your skin, try patch-testing one on the most acne-prone area of your face (it’ll be the most reactive spot, and therefore the most accurate) for a week to see what happens. If your skin doesn’t break out (any more than usual, anyway), massage a few drops of oil over your skin at the end of your skincare routine at night.
What to use:
Not only is it naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory (so it’ll help fight zit-causing bacteria in your pores while also calming the rest of your inflamed, broken-out skin), but it’s also incredibly lightweight, so it won’t feel like a greasy mask.
When you want to treat irritated, angry, red, zit-riddled skin, you bring in the big guns—i.e. rosehip oil. The innocuous oil deeply hydrates the skin (without suffocating your pores) with fatty acids that also fade acne scars and reduce redness. (Don’t believe me? This woman went viral for clearing her acne with rosehip oil in only three weeks.)
Normal skin:
If you don’t really break out, you’re not super dry, definitely not too oily, probably not sensitive, and your answer to every skincare question is, “Uhh, maybe? I don’t think so…” Then congrats! You have perfectly average, “normal,” I-hate-you-worthy skin. This means you can use a basic, OG face oil without having to worry about clogged pores, irritation, or dryness.
“Normal skin is less dry, so less of the oil is needed, compared to a dry skin type”. Try mixing in 2-3 drops into your nighttime moisturizer. Another hot tip from the glow queen: never mix in oil with a sunscreen/moisturizer hybrid, no matter what type of skin you have. A sunscreen moisturizer is an FDA-approved product and thoroughly tested to ensure that the SPF number listed on the bottle or jar is truly giving protection from damaging UV rays. If you alter its original formula by mixing in oil, you cannot be confident that you’re getting adequate benefits to prevent wrinkles, brown spots, and skin cancer.
What to use:
Meet the only face oil you’ll ever need for your perfectly chill face. It’s rich and soothing, it sinks in quickly, and it’s incredibly high in vitamin E—an antioxidant that helps prevent skin damage, dark spots, and fine lines by blocking environmental damage. Massage it on in the morning or night (or both!) as the final step of your skincare routine.
Okay, fine, this isn’t actually a type of oil, but I know how you normies are—you want to see results, or you won’t stick with the product. Welp, a gentle retinol-spiked oil will brighten your tone, clear your breakouts, smooth your bumps, and hydrate your skin, all without hardcore irritating your face.
Use one every other night after moisturizing, and if you don’t actually use a moisturizer, go get a hydrating one ASAP, since retinol can slowly dry your skin out, leading to legit skin issues.
Sensitive skin:
If you have sensitive skin, you need a face oil specifically designed to wrap your skin barrier in a soothing, nourishing, coddling hug. And that means finding a formula that’s bland, bland, bland, with absolutely zero essential oils—like lavender, peppermint, and rose—which tend to only irritate sensitive skin.
Whichever oil you choose, Patch Test it first (dab it below your ear near your jaw) and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. If your skin seems happy, you can massage it on in the morning, at night, or both, as the last step of your skincare routine.
What to use:
This overachieving oil is packed with antioxidants (to protect your skin from irritating free radicals), fatty acids (to help repair a dry, damaged skin barrier), and anti-inflammatories (to calm irritated skin). It’s also lightweight, yet still moisturizing enough for dry skin, so you can easily layer it under makeup without creating a gunky mess.
Just like moringa oil, aloe oil is filled with anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, but it also has the added bonus of being a natural antibacterial and astringent, making it a powerhouse for sensitive skin that’s also oily or acne-prone.
Face oils are great for your skin as they help in opening up the clogged pores to maintain good blood flow and they have antioxidants that protect your skin from aging and keeps the skin hydrated and moisturized.
Are you confused by the type of hydration you should use on your skin?
Trust me you are not alone. In a recent survey by CPCB ( Central Pollution Control Board), it was found out when the skin is in daily contact with external influences like pollution, toxins, change of weather it can damage the skin to a great level, adding the risk of signs of aging on your skin.
And with a busy lifestyle, it becomes nearly impossible to go to salons which is where the Korean daily beauty routine comes to the rescue. The Korean bloggers swear by using oils, serum, elixir, moisturizer to their daily regime.
We all have heard of these products many times but do we really know their difference when its basic task is to hydrate the skin. Here is everything you need to know about serums, elixirs, oils and moisturizers and their differences.
Serums
Serums are regularly water-based formulas that are exceptionally powerful in nature. Intended to target explicit skin concerns, for example, fine lines, wrinkles, dullness or spots, serums are injected with nutrients, cancer prevention agents and other skin-feeding fixings that enter the skin profoundly. At the end of the day, serums ought to restore the skin and improve its surface from inside. With standard utilization of a decent serum that is intended for your skin concern, you can hope to get results beginning in half a month, for the most part. Obviously, serums are not cure-alls, but more like targeted supplements for healthy and radiant skin.
What Serums Do:
Elixirs
Elixirs are a combination of various oils that help to prevent the fine lines by rejuvenating the skin. They also usually contain herbal ingrains, plant extracts, and other ingredients that benefit the skin, such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or butter.
They are also known as the ‘repair’ products that have a multi-functional effect. They’re formulated with smaller molecules that are able to penetrate further into the skin, making them extremely effective. The best part of an elixir is that most of the fluid is a high concentration of active ingredients. They’re the worker bees of any skincare line. Because the active ingredients are more expensive than water and thickeners, elixirs are also the most expensive products.
What Elixirs Do:
Face Oils
As the name proposes, facial oils are rich and emollient in texture. These oils are separated from natural products, seeds, and nuts, and they’re extraordinary for your skin in a bigger number of ways than one. Aside from being profoundly supporting and remedial, facial oils can give your skin a uber portion of hydration. The thing to recollect is that you can’t utilize pretty much any regular oil as a face oil. It’s prescribed that you utilize an oil with a littler sub-atomic size, (for example, argan oil or jojoba oil) to prevent blocking of the pores and allow simple ingestion.
What Face Oils Do:
Moisturizers
Moisturizers are infused with a mix of water and oils and they’re intended to hydrate the highest layers of the skin leaving the skin soft and supple. Utilizing a day by day cream is perfect when you have typical, blend or sleek skin.
Moisturizers plump up your skin and help to reduce the wrinkles. In any case, when you need to treat extraordinary dryness (either regular or progressively characteristic to the skin), a cream may not hydrate your skin profoundly enough, which is the place where face oils come in.
On any day using a moisturizer is an incredible method to seal the dampness into your skin.
What Moisturizers Do:
Adding these products in your daily care regime can result in a glowing and fresh face which will not go unnoticed for sure. Remember the perfect skincare routine can be broken down into a few simple steps.
It is very common for beauty products or skincare products to have alcohol in them.
Did you just read that right?
Alcohol in skin care products?
Won’t that be very harmful to skin, as alcohol consumption is harmful after all?
Well, it turns out the answer to the very simple question is a bit tricky. Being under-educated on the usage of alcohol in beauty and skincare products people just try to stay away and have a negative stance too. But that should not be the case.
It is assumed that alcohol is harsh and is very unsafe on the skin but this is not always true.
There are many different types of alcohols and each of them has different uses and benefits. It is hence common for people to keep away from skincare products that have alcohol in them. There are also many good things that alcohol can do to the skin. If alcohol is an ingredient in any of the skincare products then it is much better to invest time & study the ingredients and make an informed decision to avoid or to buy the product. Here is the why.
The positives:
Many alcohols like Cetearyl, Stearyl, Cetyl and Behenyl alcohol that have high molecular weight are said to be very good moisturizers. It can make the outer of your skin very soft and smooth. These are very thick and heavy & can get very soft on the skin. This is an advantage of the right alcohol when applied to the skin.
The next thing is that it is used as a solvent. When the ingredients do not dissolve in other liquids, alcohol is used. This works very well if you have oily skin. It depends on the alcohol type and your skin type to see what the benefits are. Well, that’s a topic for another day.
The common thought that alcohol can make your skin burn is a myth. Not all alcohols make your skin burn. The level or type of effect alcohol can have on you depends on the type and the composition of the alcohol used, trickling down to the main alcohol used in the product.
When should it be avoided?
There are also disadvantages of using alcohol in any skin product and that is why it is avoided and people try not to buy it. There are some alcohols that are really bad for the skin and can give very bad results.
The use of bad alcohol or using bad alcohol can cause irritation on the skin. Alcohols have the capacity to break down the lipids and the grease on the skin and can hence the user can have itching. This can be very bad and can have worse effects in the long run. Though the alcohol is derived from vegetable sources, coconut or palm oil and so on, they can sometimes be very bad.
Another very bad thing about alcohol is that it can clog pores and hence the blocks the skin from breathing.
Alcohol can sometimes be very harsh and can cause dryness of your skin and can lead to other such issues. It can weaken your skin on the whole and can change the way you feel. It can even cause the skin cells to die soon. There are also complaints that alcohol content can easily cause early wrinkles on the skin, making you look old sooner. The natural barrier of the skin can get damaged due to alcohol, especially if there is too much alcohol or bad alcohol.
It is good to make sure that the alcohol used in the product is in the right composition and is not bad alcohol. This can keep the damages under control but in the long run, it can very easily damage the skin too much.
Conclusion:
Investing a lot of time to understand and analyze the ingredients of the beauty or cosmetics products you use is worth the effort. Many brands sneak in a lot of iffy ingredients and non-fatty alcohols are the tip of the iceberg.
At Neemli Naturals we use all the good kinds of Alcohols that are meant to enrich and strengthen your skin in the long term while not skimping out on quality and effectiveness of our products.
Vitamin C serum could undoubtedly take your skincare regimen to the next level, there are some doubts encompassing the right utilization of these serums. In particular, there’s a touch of discussion in the skincare world about Vitamin C serum that, “It should be used at the day, or night, or both.”
Some skincare dermatologists allow using Vitamin C Serum in the day because it prevents the skin from harmful sun damage. Also, it retains the moisture throughout the day. But if you choose to use it in the morning then do not forget to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF more than 30 after the application of Serum.
Most of the dermatologists and beauty bloggers recommend serums to use before bed. The skin undergoes it’s natural repairing mechanism while you are sleeping. Moreover, the process of maintenance reaches a height at night. So, it makes sense to use Serums at night.
You can use Vitamin C Serum both, am or pm but a higher concentration of serums should be used once whether its day or night. Some people thought that the more we apply, the more we get early benefits but the answer is NO! Your skin absorbs Vitamin C in a limited quantity, so do not waste your costly product by overusing it.
Everyone is talking about investing in your skin and I think Vitamin C is one of the potent ingredients you should definitely invest in.
Some people may face the side effects of Vitamin C Serum which includes itching, redness, irritation and tingling sensation. So always go for the best serum.
