Beautiful skin is as simple as finding the right routine and product prescription for your personal needs. “I always tell my clients that on average they’re only with me for one hour a month, so an excellent home routine is imperative for gorgeous, glowing skin,” says Sandra Dickson, owner of Missie CoCo Face and Body Therapy. For a good skin care routine at home, Dickson swears by these four products.
Dermal rollers
Dickson’s number-one tool to improve your complexion is a skin needling roller, used once a week. “A home roller stimulates the outer layer of the skin – the epidermis, slowly making it thicker over time. This in turn improves skin texture and assists with treating wrinkles and fine lines,” explains Dickson. Rollers also allow skin care products to penetrate deeply into the skin, increasing their effectiveness. Try Mukti Microneedle Dermal Roller.
Face scrub
Exfoliation is a natural process for skin, but it does slow as we age. Skin often needs encouraging with mechanical or chemical exfoliations. “I recommend my clients exfoliate at home on a weekly basis,” says Dickson. “A microfoliant combining vitamin C and bromelain will help remove surface residue and leave your skin silky smooth.” We like Ultraceuticals Ultra Dual Microfoliant.
Micellar water
For a simple nighttime routine, Dickson’s go-to is micellar water, which she says is “the quickest and easiest way for a busy woman to cleanse her skin.” Micellar water removes dirt without stripping the skin of moisture, and is gentle enough for all skin types. One to try: Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water.
Corrective serums
Glowing skin can be as simple as incorporating corrective serums. “They address pesky skin concerns and keep the cellular turnover of the skin at an optimum level,” she says. Including a corrective serum with retinol, such as Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Anti-Ageing Serum, will help to treat fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.
