My Top Skincare Secrets for Soft Supple Skin

Truthfully, I have always been a skincare fanatic, but I haven’t always known how to put my passion into action. Being a natural/less is more kind of girl has been my way of life which of course meant struggling to dedicate time to skincare. Pregnancy showed me the importance of a dedicated skincare routine in order to maintain balanced healthy-looking skin. Consequently, I began developing a skincare routine and came up with my top skincare secrets for soft supple skin.

After pregnancies, I noticed that my skins moisture balance, texture, and tone were all over the place. My postpartum skin left me completely distraught! I looked different in ways that left me feeling like an imposter in my own body. I couldn’t figure out if growing older or pregnancy had caused the issues, but I wanted my youthful skin back. Having always had relatively clear/soft skin (thanks mom and dad LOL) I was desperate to return to that. Aging was one of the more notable differences in my skin that left me stressed even more. Even though I didn’t care so much that I had aged, but more so that the aging was becoming very apparent. Aging gracefully is my personal goal and for that reason I don’t attempt to avoid aging. Instead, my skincare secrets focus on the true causes of aging to reverse signs of excessive aging. 

Trial and Error Makes You Better

Discovering the harmless and most effective ways to treat my skin came with much trial and error. I had some goals in mind (even skin tone, reduce lines, bring back moisture, improve texture) and zoning in on those is where I developed the Top Skincare Secrets for Soft Supple Skin. Having that clear, soft, supple skin is a desire we all have. To get you started on your healthy skin care journey I decided to give you some of my tried-and-true skincare tips to help you improve your skin too. Regardless of skin color, type, or age you deserve great skin! So, let’s get right into it…

Above all, developing a schedule for when you take care of your skin is the best way to cleanse your skin on a regular basis. Your skin will thank you by becoming softer and suppler than ever before.

Rinse Your Skin Completely

Rinsing your skin is a no-brainer, right? Yet somehow, it’s one of the most rushed steps when caring for our skin. Taking a moment to slow down and focus in on skincare leads to completing all of the necessary steps for soft supple skin. To maintain soft supple skin, we need to rinse it completely, rehydrating it after washing. Removing facial cleanser totally counteracts irritation and acne. Which makes it the ideal base for absorbing the creams and serums that we massage into it.Learn How to Take Your Hair to the Next Level: The Best Hair Care Secrets for ALL Hair Types – (sincerelyshannice.com)

Massage UP

Facial skin is delicate like a flower. When you bend a flower petal, immediately there will be creasing and discoloration just like the skin. To avoid this problem massage serums and creams in an upwards motion. Gravity is the number one cause of aging! Remember everyday all-day gravity is pulling your skin down and overtime that turns into wrinkling. Thats why giving yourself a break from the gravitational pull and massaging up is essential.ALWAYS massage face oils/creams upwards

Drink water

This step is no joke! Water is essential for every part of the body. Although it is essential, we usually do not get enough of it. When we are not getting enough water in our day to day lives it becomes visible is in the skin primarily. However, we can combat this by drinking more water to bring the moisture balance back into the skin, improve signs of aging, and decreasing acne. Additionally, drinking water shrinks the pores and overall improves confidence.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Beta Hydroxy Acids

AHAs and BHAs for short are both liquid exfoliants. Liquid exfoliants are amazing at addressing issues such as fine lines, discoloration, and enlarged pores. Adding liquid exfoliants into your skincare routine will greatly improves the quality of facial skin. The easiest ways to incorporate these acids are face masks and toners. Masks will address issue with hydration, discoloration, texture, and overall radiance of skin the best in my opinion because the skin is able to absorb it for longer amounts of time. Even more so, you will reap many of the professionals’ benefits with less skin irritation, and it’ll be easier on your pockets. Research these commonly used chemicals and talk to a professional before experimenting with acids if you have no prior knowledge.

Consult an Esthetician

Estheticians are professionally trained to take care of the skin. Because of this they use various skincare product/ techniques that are not always available to the regular person. Seeing an esthetician for your skin on a regular basis will change your skin completely. Treating yourself to regular appointments with a professional is an amazing opportunity for self-care that will immediately show improvements to the skin!

Contrary to what you might think estheticians are relatively affordable, but prices do vary based on skin needs and treatments used. If price is an issue, saving up and having an appointment every 6 months may be the best option but will still revolutionize your skin. Google estheticians in your area and read reviews before making your choice of professional.

Years of battling to counteract discoloration, uneven texture/tone, and enlarged pores helped me find the Top Skincare Secrets for Soft Supple Skin. There are many ways to improve the skin so even doing some more research would be a great start. However, taking the time to add even one of the steps I mentioned above to your skincare routine will immediately improve your skin.
