So many home remedies, cosmetic products and tips for skin care are present on Google. Before considering any skincare routine, a question arises in almost everyone’s mind is “Do I really need to take care of my skin?”
Regarding this, we took insight from Dr. Rajdeep Mysore, the best skin specialist in Bangalore. He is the founder and lead practitioner at Charma Clinic. At this clinic, he provides various skin care guides and treatments. By incorporating that useful information in this article, we will detail the necessity of a skincare routine. So, consider going through this post.
What is a Skin Care Routine?
A skincare routine is a regular procedure for taking care of the skin. A skincare routine usually addresses the care of facial skin and neckline. But, as per the skin doctors, care for skin is much vast than the face and neckline and includes a regime of:
- Tummy
- Back and chest
- Shoulder and Arms
- Legs, thighs, butts and love handles
- Sensitive skin of the underarms, eyes, and private parts
Skincare routines address various types of conditions which lead to mental and physical consciousness and embarrassment.
Need for Skin Care Routine
Skin care is essential for everyone. It offers various benefits, some of which are as follows:
- Prevent Skin from Diseases
There are various skin diseases, like acne problems and pigmentation, and premature ageing. A regular routine of skin care may prevent or delay the occurrence of such issues.
- Youthful Skin
Everyone wants radiant and glowing skin. But it is difficult with poor eating habits and care of the skin. A regular exercise of skin care eliminates the impact of a polluted climate and the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. As a result, the skin may become youthful and glowing for a long time.
- Eliminates Contagious Disease
Fungal infections like psoriasis and ringworms are contagious skin diseases. These diseases spread and infect the other parts of the body via touching uninfected areas immediately after touching the diseased body part. A skincare routine of washing hands and skin regularly reduces the chance of such contagious diseases spreading.
- Improve the Self-Confidence
Skincare diseases like fungal infection, acne and premature ageing are common signs of poor care and unhealthy eating habits. These diseases lead to social embarrassment and a lack of confidence. Following skin care routines prevents one from such experiences and feeling inferior in front of friends and colleagues.
- Save from Undergoing Thorough Skin Treatments.
Skin care routines reduce the chances of visiting a parlour, saloon or skin clinic and getting a skin treatment to rejuvenate the health of the skin. It saves the time and money required by a beautician or skin doctor to correct the skin treatment. Moreover, it saves one from multiple sessions of skin-improving medication, and facial or advanced laser-based treatments.
Common Skin Care Routines
In general, skin care routines are classified into below-mentioned methods:
- Cleansing the Skin
Washing the face twice a day is a common practice one should follow in the daily routine. This basic routine needs to be vast and cover all body parts so that causes of fungal infection (germs, dirt and sweat) can be washed out. To do so, one can add antiseptic lotion, soap, or toner to disinfect the skin.
- Keep the Skin Nourished and Hydrated
However, a sebum gland in the body releases the natural body oil to keep the body nourished. But, due to hormonal imbalance, use of highly chemical-based cosmetics or excessive in-contact with hard water, the skin may get dry. This also causes itching, acne and various other skin concerns. To avoid those, nourishment of the skin is advised. To do so, one can use natural skin-friendly oil and organically made moisturisers.
- Eat Healthy and Vitamin, Mineral-rich Food
Skin is a mirror of what one eats. Unhealthy junk and spicy food impact the health of the skin as well. One with an irregular and unhealthy food diet can experience acne, pimples, fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. A rich diet is advised to avoid these embarrassing skin ailments. To do so, Vitamin E, C, K, Omega 3 and rich fibre based fibre-based food must be added to the diet.
- Avoid Alcohol, Drugs and Nicotine
Excessive intake of liquor, smoke and nicotine leads to skin ageing. Being addicted to alcohol, drugs or smoke leads to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin at a very early stage. To avoid the ageing signs in one’s health and other body organs (liver, kidney and lungs) it is advised to avoid regular consumption of alcohol, drugs, and nicotine.
- Avoid Using Complex Chemical-based Cosmetics.
There are various types of cosmetic products available in the market. Some promise to give instant cleansing of the dirt and disease from the skin and provide the required glow and youthfulness to the skin. Such products may have been made up of hazardous chemicals in their making. Regular use of such products may lead to severe skin concerns like skin cancer. Therefore, it is advised to avoid excessive cosmetics with harmful chemicals.
- Use of Sunscreen
While moving out in the sunlight, sunscreen is unavoidable to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet sun rays. A layer of sunscreen on the exposed skin part to the sunlight prevents it from suntanning.
Even after following a strict skincare routine, there are possibilities that one can experience skin issues. This might be caused by age or severe medical conditions and treatments like chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, and heredity. In such circumstances, candidates are advised to avoid losing hope and consult the issue with a qualified skin doctor.
