Make glowing skin your skincare goal this 2021

These days a plethora of makeup exists to help one achieve flawless, radiant skin. But why fake it when you can achieve naturally healthy, glowing skin even without any makeup on? Having a good skincare routine and incorporating these essential tips and ingredients into your everyday skincare routine will do wonders for your skin. Be religious about it and watch your skin transform this 2021!

Cleanse

The basis of every good skincare routine is a good cleanse. Not only should it be effective in getting rid of dirt and makeup, it should not leave your skin feeling dry or ‘squeaky clean’. For this, an oil cleanser is recommended. Not only is it gentle and effective, it leaves skin feeling soft and supple, the perfect canvas for the skincare products to follow.

Exfoliate

Do you know as your age, your skin takes longer to slough off the build up of dead skin cells? This causes skin to look dull for a much longer period of time. Why not give your skin a helping hand with a regular exfoliating treat, once to twice a week? This effectively gets rid of the dead skin cells at a faster rate, allowing your natural radiance to shine through. Literally.

Vitamin C

It’s easier for our skin to develop pigmentation and sun spots than it is to get rid of it. Treat your skin to a daily dose of Vitamin C to fight the assault if aging caused by the sun while treating and lightening dark spots on your skin.

Retinol

This superstar of an ingredient not only erases lines and wrinkles, it helps to improve overall skin radiance. A definite must-have in your night time beauty routine and should be used religiously. If you’re new to retinol, start off with a few nights in a week as it’s known to cause some skin sensitivities and some redness. Once your skin is used to it, you can use this on a regular basis.

Sunscreen

What good is there in using the right products to fight dull, uneven skin tone when you’re not doing your job in protecting it in the first place. Sunscreen is a must and should be used daily regardless of the weather to shield your skin from both harmful and age-inducing UVA and UVB rays.

Facial

Who doesn’t love a professional pampering and having your therapist give your skin the TLC it deserves? Be spoilt for choice whether you have dry or oily skin, and want to treat specific concerns for your skin such as acne or pigmentation. The world is your oyster at SW1 Spa where a slew of medical-grade facials await you.
