When we say "personalizied skincare" we are referring to the extensive care we take in matching each customer with the best products for their skincare needs. We value differences in preference, desires, and what is necessary for every individual.
Skincare routines should be adjustable considering that what you require and want to focus on may not be someone else’s concern, and that is okay! During a customizable process, many factors are considered in order to best match you with effective products.
Why personalized skincare is recommended, what it means for you, and what components play a role in product selection for your new skin regimen.
What Is A Personalized Skincare Routine?
A routine that is curated specifically for what your skin needs while considering how tolerable or sensitive you are to certain ingredients is a personalized routine.
What Are Some Things That Are Looked At For A Personalized Skincare Routine?
Skin Types
Skin types are the first important aspect of building a custom skincare regimen. They are genetic and don't change throughout your lifetime. Skin types include oily, normal, dry, and combination skin.
Skin types are categorized by examining pore size and where they appear on your face. Products are formulated to be compatible with certain skin types because they penetrate and affect the skin in specific ways to provide a particular benefit.
For instance, the consistency, texture, and ingredients in a cleanser for oily skin will vary drastically from a cleanser for dry skin because the skin types are completely opposite and require different care.
An oily skin type has more pores while a dry skin type has very few and small pores. Oily skin requires balance by absorbing oil production and dry skin needs balance by adding hydration and moisture.
Both require exfoliation to remove packed on dead cells but a dry skin type can use a granular exfoliant while oily skin will benefit better from an enzyme or chemical exfoliation. This is an example of why skin care routines should not be generalized.
Skin Conditions
Skin conditions are considered for treatment purposes and are a key factor in why personalizing a routine is recommended. They temporarily alter your appearance in ways such as addressing wrinkles, dark spots or blemishes, fine lines surrounding the eyes, and uneven complexions or textures.
Treating skin conditions are more specific and vary from person to person. Spot treatments, facial masque, serums, and eye creams are some products that take a routine from general to personal.
Allergies & Lifestyle Factors
Allergies and preferences are valuable and should be considered when building an individual's skincare regimen. If you have an allergy to soy, nuts, or essential oils, this information is important to know when having a routine personalized.
Lifestyle choices, sleeping habits, and stress, are other factors considered when tailoring this experience. Take a look at our article “How To Achieve And Maintain Healthy Skin At Home” for a closer look at how your daily life is correlated to your skin health.
Why Is A Personalized Regimen So Important?
Personalizing your daily skin routine is important because you deserve an effortless experience attaining your goals, while using effective products that are compatible with your skin type and specific conditions.
It's important to treat skin individually instead of a one size fits all system. Your skin routine should always be personalized because it ensures that you will have a more results driven response to the products you are recommended.
Personalization has an added benefit as this cuts the cost of purchasing products that may or may not work for your skin concerns and provides confidence for the buyer.
