Start this normal routine and begin treating your skin early to fight wrinkles and premature aging. You will look younger – and you won’t look like a swollen, plastic doll. Every girl entering her twenties should have this routine, to maintain the youth of her face, and at the same time not feel the need for Botox in her 40s.
Most of us have heard of Botox injections, a favorite among show business stars and fashion beauties. We’ve all heard positive things about Botox, but do you know its side effects?
What are the side effects of Botox?
Unfortunately, these side effects are rarely talked about and commented on, but since more and more women are applying such treatments, we must become familiar with their consequences. As a result of often unprofessional injections, the botulinum toxin (the poison produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum) can be unevenly distributed over the target muscles, which often results in pronounced asymmetry of the face. You will be able to get rid of crooked facial expressions only after you have expelled a large part of the preparations from your body (from three to five months). The Botox preparation causes nerve numbness and muscle paralysis. With paralysis of the muscle, this is actually how skin wrinkles are straightened.
There is another thing that can spoil your exterior in the long run. It is a lowering of the upper lid, which can almost make it impossible to open the eye – it is assumed that this happens if a person who is allergic to Botox is given large doses of that preparation. It is believed that 2% of patients face this side effect, but no one would want to face such a thing.
A Basic Daily Skincare Routine You Should Start Right Away
How to start?
Step 1: Start by cleaning your skin with a gel, foam, or cleanser
This step is the first and most important because to use any product on your skin first, it must be cleaned and washed.
If you have makeup on your face, you should pay even more attention to deep cleaning of your skin. Foremost, you should remember that you should not wipe your face with wet wipes. Your face needs to be wiped with micellar water and then washed off with a gel or foam. Then continue with the next steps of your routine.
Step 2: Use toner
You should use toner after washing your face. Many people wonder if toner is necessary for this skincare routine. That’s why we are here to tell you YES. Toner is an essential step in your skincare routine. The function of the toner for the skin is to tone it, that is, to even out its complexion, moisturize it, and collect all the oils that are present, but we do not feel them on the face. The toner prepares the skin for better absorbing the other ingredients.
Step 3: Serum
This question is often asked when it comes to skincare: “To use serum or not? And the main question is which serum should we use?“
If you are entering your twenties you should start educating yourself about serums. You should start thinking about what serum to use to keep your skin fresh, young, and supple.
As for mornings, the best choice for your skin is a serum containing Vitamin C. Vitamin C evens out your skin tone, removes dark spots and blemishes, and improves skin elasticity, which preserves its glow.
In the evening, you should start using Niacinamide to begin with. Why Niacinamide?
Niacinamide lightens hyperpigmentation, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and restores the skin barrier, but lower concentrations are recommended to avoid irritation. Niacinamide also unclogs the pores of your skin and smooths it.
Vitamin C and Niacinamide should not be mixed because they can irritate the skin, so say some researchers. However, those irritations are not terrible and are completely harmless. But just in case, because of that, Vitamin C should be used in the morning and Niacinamide in the evening.
If you start entering the age of 25 you can slowly start using Retinol. Retinol is a serum that exfoliates the skin and clears wrinkles from the skin. But we have to be very careful with Retinol, use less than 2% to begin with because it is a strong acid and acts intensively on your skin.
Step 4: Moisturizer
This step is the last of your routine whether it is morning or evening. If it’s morning, you all know what to use in the morning, because you must have seen the benefits of the SPF factor that we presented to you. If you haven’t, read HERE. So in the morning, use an SPF cream that contains a minimum 30% factor against UV rays.
As for the evening, before going to bed you can use any night cream, it depends on what type of skin you have.
If you have oily skin, use a hydrating cream, and if you have dry skin, you can use an oily cream that contains olive or PANTHENOL. Panthenol is great ingredient that works magical on your skin during the night. With the help of these preparations and this easy and simple routine consisting of only 4 steps, you will never again worry about the question whether you will have wrinkles when you get older. And the most important thing is that you will not even think about the need of BOTOX, because the answer will be no!
