Whether you're new to skincare or someone who has been investing an amount of research and resources in finding the best skin TLC, we can all agree that the concept of taking care of our skin could be challenging.
The first hurdle for skincare has always been finding the right one for us— if we have oily skin, what types of moisturizers can we use? (Yes, we still need that!) What kind of green flags should we look for in a cleanser if our skin is dry? When and how often should we be getting facial treatments? All these could scare off someone who's just about to dip their toes into skincare, but once we get the appropriate guidance and fit for us as we go through the journey of what works best for our skin, things can infinitely get a little easier. What becomes the challenge eventually, then? Finding skincare that we'd want to commit to.
The tale could start as us subscribing to multiple-step routines that eventually become hard to stay consistent with (especially after a long day!) or when skincare either feels like a chore or a treat we can only sometimes indulge in. While all of these could eventually be something we face even when we find the best fit for us, we can still somehow get out of the rut of feeling discouraged and carry on with skin TLC you'd be excited to stay committed to. Here are our tips to get just that:
Search for what you can see (and feel)

When it comes to skin and other things in between, we can't ignore the fact that the best motivator to keep going is actually seeing and feeling the results with every step and effort we make with it. This is why, while we should accept the fact that no routine or treatment could instantly get us to where we want our skin to be, we should also take the time to know what will before jumping in and not be afraid to let go of routines that have not done anything for our skin (and resources) at all.
For skincare we'll want to commit to, let's not be afraid to put up with the standards we deserve. This way, we're sure the progress we're going through keeps us going in return.
Make it fun

When it comes to committing to better skin, one of the missing, yet perhaps fundamental keys to making it one that would stay with us is the element of fun. Contrary to what the overwhelming image skincare has, you can make it more manageable by purposefully choosing what you’ll enjoy.
If you're a person who loves playing around with textures, try out finding different skincare items that are not only the best matches for your skin but give you that extra sensory element that'll delight you every time you nourish your skin. Maybe you like to keep or play around skincare with pumps, droppers (just as long as you don't let it touch your skin!), or even spatulas for your stick-to-essential routines When we notice how these things could add even a little fun to our routines, these could make all the difference in how we'll be able to keep them!
Let it suit you

For skin treatments, it's easy to feel like to achieve our skin goals, we should go in for a skin date only when we feel like our skin really needs it. Part of that is because we feel like we're aiming at an unseeable target with umbrella treatments that make us believe it will do wonders. We feel like do-it-all treatments will be great for us when they won't. We have specific needs and goals, and how we find the best treatments for us should be just as targeted and particular to those.
To make going for skin treatments something you'll anticipate doing regularly, make sure to touch down on a skin place that not only finds a treatment that suits every skin story's needs and goals but strikes the first two tips to making skin treatments a commitment you'd love to keep. This is how our Three-Step Journey makes skin treatments a whole experience in Simply Skin.
