Skin Care

Skincare products can be a complex topic, as skincare routines are different for each skin type. You probably know that even your own skin can be a tricky thing to figure out; it seems like it's either too dry or too oily - sometimes a combination of both in different areas. Luckily, there are skincare products that help with these problems.

It can get overwhelming to figure out what skin products you need and how often they should be used. However you define skincare, there are some basic steps that everyone can take to develop the best skincare routine for them: know your skin type and understand what products will work for you.

This article will break down the basics of skincare and how to develop your skincare routine that meets your needs.

Let's start with skin type.

Our skincare products at Ultraceuticals caters to various skin types: normal, oily, dry, or sensitive. Our range is also diverse - providing a great selection not just for women but also skincare for men that includes cleansers, serums, moisturisers, so no one is ever left in the dark when it comes to something as crucial as caring for your skin.

A foam cleanser is a gentle product that can be used in the morning or at night. It's ideal for people who have sensitive skin. Our Ultraceuticals foam facial cleansers can help lift dirt from pores without stripping away your natural oils, thereby giving you an all-over clean feeling that doesn't feel tight and uncomfortable after washing.

How to build a skincare routine?

Coming up with the right skincare routine doesn't have to be necessarily difficult. Here are seven steps for coming up with one that's right for you:

1. Cleanse your skin

Skincare begins with cleansing your skin properly. A good routine starts with washing away all traces of makeup and surface-level impurities with a gentle cleanser before hydrating the skin. Cleansing helps remove that layer of grime or any residue that might be left on your skin after the day's activities.

2. Apply serum

Serum is a skincare product that contains concentrated ingredients and packs on skin-loving benefits. Serums can be used both at day and night times. But, some people prefer to use them at nighttime while the body rests and replenishes itself. They're best applied after you cleanse the skin, so there isn't a layer of grime that would hinder your skin from effectively absorbing the active ingredients in your serum.

3. Apply eye cream

Eye creams can be used both day and night because the skin around the eyes is very delicate. It's important to use an eye creams that don't contain chemicals like parabens, sulphates, or synthetic fragrances that could irritate the skin. Eye creams should also include hydrating ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate and Dimethicone. You can find both of these essential ingredients across our range of eye cream products at Ultraceuticals.

4. Use spot treatment

Spot treatments are skincare products that you use on areas of skin where there's a skin concern, like blemishes, decongestion, and the occasional flare-ups due to sensitivity. The best spot treatments use active exfoliators like Salicylic Acid to clear up clogged pores and calming agents like Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) to soothe and moisturise the skin. Use them at night time to give your skin all the support it needs in replenishing itself. Find the spot treatment you'll need at the Ultraceuticals Ultra Clear range.

5. Moisturise

Moisturiser is the following product you should apply after all your corrective serums or eye creams have been thoroughly absorbed by your skin. It should be applied all over the face or just where needed depending on your skin type. Remember to use a moisturiser at least twice a day or every time you cleanse your face, so your skin always has support when it comes to sealing moisture in. Whether that's in the form of a cream moisturiser, lotion, or mist, Ultraceuticals has you covered.

6. Apply sunscreen

Sunscreen is a skincare product that can be worn to help protect skin during sun exposure. Keep in mind that you should always use sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30. Our range of sunscreen products at Ultraceuticals contains products with either SPF 30 or SPF 50 to suit your preferences, so you can have peace of mind whenever you're going out. Make sure to constantly reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating.

Tip : If your skin gets dry, add an extra step of applying a hydrating skincare product before sunscreen.
