Taking care of your skin is a personal (maybe even emotional!) journey. That's why whenever we think of investing or putting effort into skincare, we expect to get the best results— sometimes in an instant!
While understandable, there's more to consider in finding the best skincare routine other than the latest skincare trends, what other people's progress is (although we don't mind taking a few notes!), and sweeping promises by skincare providers about overnight success. With our skin bearing our stories, lifestyles, and differences, we should take an elevated approach in how we think of skincare.
Whether you're new to skin or need to brush up on your expertise with it, here's what you can do to elevate your skin progress:
Understand your skin story.

Our skin can bear different skin needs because there are a lot of factors that affect our skin types. For some, their genetic makeup makes them more susceptible to breaking out. A more stressful environment could give the same skin disposition. Being situated in a more polluted, humid place could make someone more prone to skin buildup manifesting through whiteheads and blackheads.
When we identify the root causes of our skin needs, we become more aware of the little steps to make positive changes. Those changes don't need to be grand or an overnight overhaul. They can be a basis for skincare choices. When elevating skin progress, try to seek skin places that consider your lifestyle and help you with the root cause.
Take aim.

When we think of skincare, the common desire is to get all the benefits in one go. We usually want something-in-ones or overnight success. While it's nice to think or aim for that, it usually gives much space to do things but never what you set out to achieve.
To elevate skin progress, try to take it one step at a time. Ask yourself: what is one thing I want to achieve with skin? From there, seek out equally specific, targeted products or treatments. That way, you're not sidetracked by results that weren't even your priority, and you get a keener eye for monitoring what you want with the time, effort, and resources you dedicated to it.
Go for start-to-finish guidance.
Finding the best skincare routine usually takes guesswork and several trials and errors. While it's all part of the skin journey, it won't hurt to get a helping hand from people who are equally as enthusiastic about your skin progress as you are.
With our skin experts' guidance and the Three-Step Journey, you're sure to get holistic, start-to-finish care that's personalized only to you. We designed each step to ensure we don't just put a band-aid over your skin needs but go through the basics to elevate your skin progress.
Starting with root care from Step 1 - The Expert Cleanse, we ensure we decongest skin from buildup that usually cause physical manifestations on the skin (hello, whiteheads & blackheads, and acne.) We then treat your skin with facials & treatments specifically designed for your skin needs with Step 2 - Your Treatment of Choice. End each session with Step 3 - Your Aftercare at Home, where we help you formulate the best skincare routine with in-house product recommendations that progressively treat and prevent skin needs from coming back. All these steps combined become your elevated way to skin progress, and no matter how new or often you get your treatments at Simply Skin, you're sure to make the most out of your visit with the Three-Step Journey.
Elevating your skin progress, like most things, is best paired with consistency. Try out these steps and pair them with a mindset of keeping them as a routine and you’re sure to elevate skin progress that you can see & feel— slowly, but surely.
