Hello Healthy Clear Skin!
Goal setting is a vision into the future of how you want things and when you want those things to happen. Setting goals for your skin, and then working towards that goal, will set you up to have clear and healthy skin. With goal setting you have to be realistic and
logical in providing the time limit and work you need to see the results, and put in effort everyday to achieve your goals. You have to start taking small steps to see the results you need, and the end feeling will be very rewarding on it’s own.
Setting realistic goals for skin is essential to completing them, for instance you don’t want your goal to be “have clear skin in the morning”, that is just setting yourself up for failure. It takes 4-6 weeks for you to start seeing results with consistent work, and by using the right products. You also have to keep in mind that keeping good clear skin is a life long journey of healthy habits, not an overnight do and done. So look ahead for a bright and smooth complexion, this is how I always suggest for my clients to reset their skin
First Step
Envision what you want your skin to look like, first you need to examine your skin. For breakouts you want clear skin. For acne scars, to have smooth skin, for redness to have a calm complexion. For dryness to have more moisture, for dull to have a brighter glow, for oily to have it more under control. For texture to have a flawless touch, for sensitive to have more resilience, for sagging to have more lifting, for aging to have more youthfulness. For loose to have more bounce, for sun damage to fade, for clogged pores to be clean, for enlarged pores to shrink, etc. Everyone has different needs they need to address, it’s best to examine your skin closely and see what you need most, then write it down.
Second Step
Give your skin a break from using any skincare products besides sunscreen and a gentle cleanser. I recommend for my clients to give their skin a break for at least 3 days, let their skin breath and purge anything that is left in their pores. To only use a cleanser morning and night and a sunscreen in the morning, this way you will know if any of the skin problems you are experiencing are caused by a product or ingredient that you are using topically. You will introduce products to your skin one at a time, and I also suggest to keep a skin journal, to document how your skin reacts to different things.
Third Step
Your diet, do a body cleanse, a 3 day cleanse, or any other body cleanse to clean your body from the inside. A lot of people don’t know that your diet plays a huge role into how your skin looks like. Everything that we eat we will see on our skin, and a lot of problems are actually caused by our diet, “Healthy Gut, Healthy Skin,” the gut skin connection is very strong and it makes a huge difference on our skin. For instance, acne for a lot of people is triggered by diet like chocolate, dairy, sugar, and meats, keeping a skin journal will help you track how your diet affects your skin and it will be easier for you to achieve your goals.
Fourth Step
Start introducing the right products back into your routine one at a time, only use products your skin needs at that time.
Exfoliator – After cleansing at night, at least 2 times a week.
Toner / Essence – (optional) to calm down your skin and bring your pH back to normal.
Serums – Targeted treatment for any skin problems you are focused on, morning and night.
Moisturizer – Based on your skin type, a lotion, cream, gel, etc. morning and night.
Enzyme mask – Once a week.
