Trends and fads come and go, but some things should stay the same, especially when it comes to your skincare regimen. I agree that skincare product trial and error is to be expected. You may go through trying out several different face cleansers, toners, lotions, creams, serums, exfoliants, and masks before you find the ones that best enhance your skin. After that, consistency is key when it comes to skincare effectiveness.
I hear some people who complain about their skin’s results yet are very inconsistent or lazy when it comes to using their products. It’s either inconsistency or they have unrealistic expectations and are very impatient when it comes to real results. Unfortunately, because of technology (lighting, cameras, photo shop, filters, etc.), some people have unrealistic expectations of what skincare and even makeup can do for skin. You can absolutely get fantastic results from a consistent skincare regimen using safe and effective products. You can lighten age spots, diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, get rid of redness, and acne. You can have glowing, pretty, healthy skin BUT what you can’t do is look photo shopped in person. Not even the models on the covers of magazines and in magazine ads look that way in person. You and your skin will look beautiful and healthy, just not fake. Having a good, consistent skincare regimen will also help your makeup look better. You will require less foundation, if any, or your foundation will look like it is your skin and not sitting on top of your skin and chalky-looking. Skincare, proper nutrition, water, and exercise can all help your skin feel and look your best, but have realistic expectations.
Taking care of your skin is a lot like starting a diet. If you only follow your diet “sometimes” and expect to lose weight, it’s probably not going to happen. The same goes with taking care of your skin. If you’re 40 years old, it took you 40 years for your skin to show it’s signs of aging, sun damage, etc. and nothing will repair that damage overnight. You have to use quality, safe, and effective products consistently in order to get results.
