Your ultimate guide for glowing skin

Like the seasons, our skin is ever-changing, and as it evolves, we may need to develop our skincare routine. As the winter weather takes its toll, our skin may feel dry and in need of a little extra nourishment. Luckily, the beauty industry is ever-evolving, too and looking for new ways to help you achieve your desired results.

Discovering new and exciting ways to enhance our daily routines, with products that help give our skin a healthy glow. If you want to try something new, you don’t need to buy many new products. Using the ones you have correctly can help.

Knowing how to layer your skincare products correctly can help maximise your skincare routine, enhancing the benefits of achieving radiant skin.

The key to healthy radiant skin is a skincare routine that hydrates your skin, and our Light-Hydrating Moisturiser from our Poko Range will do precisely that.

How to get glowing skin

Knowing the best products for your skin type is essential to ensure you achieve the results you want. Equally important is applying them correctly.

Identifying problematic areas and choosing the serum or moisturiser to deliver maximum benefits, makes a world of difference. As we know by now, our lifestyle and external conditions contribute to the condition of our skin.

Therefore consideration of these factors can inform the products we choose to layer. Routine or ritual helps us to balance our day and keep focused on what we want to achieve. Similarly, your daily skincare routine can positively impact other aspects of your life.

How does a skincare ritual help, and how do we maintain a routine that helps us achieve healthy glowing skin.

Skincare routine for dry skin

We have all experienced dry skin at some time in our lives for one reason or another. Contributing factors like weather, hormonal changes, central heating, or ageing skin, can all leave our skin feeling dehydrated and dull.

That’s why using the Ultra Hydrating Moisturiser helps revitalise our skin. However, before we get to that, let’s look at some of the causes of dry skin.

Causes of dry skin

• Low Humidity
• Harsh cold weather
• Loss of nutrients
• Age
• Hormones
• House temperatures
• Lack of water
• Hard water
• Skin conditions, psoriasis or eczema

Cleansing

If you want to keep skin healthy and fresh, then daily cleansing is top of the to-do list. It is essential to remove any pollutant or bacteria from the skin before adding your refreshing, nourishing serums or moisturisers.

If your skin is dry, using a cream cleanser is the better option or an oil-based cleanser. Other more foamy cleansers can leave your skin feeling dry.

Exfoliating

If you want to keep your skin fresh and healthy, exfoliating a couple of times a week can be of benefit. It removes bacteria and any excess dead skin cells, giving our skin a thorough clean. The same can be said if your skin matures, as dead cell buildup can cause the skin to look pale and dull.

Be gentle with your skin, and choose an exfoliator that is easy on it. Once you have cleansed your skin, the next step is to apply your soothing hydrating serums and moisturisers.

Now your skin is prepped and ready for the next phase of your skincare ritual. So, what's the next step in the layering technique?

At this point, you're ready to apply one or two pumps of serum, remember less is more.

The serum is a concentrated product, so only a small amount is needed. Working magic, by reaching deeper into your skin and delivering the plethora of ingredients to skin hungry for nutrients.

Our Soothing Serum is full of antioxidants like avocado oil and tea tree, which fight the damage caused by the sun, weather, ageing, and troubled skin. Your skin will feel rejuvenated, revitalised and replenished all at once.

You are now ready for the next stage of your skincare routine, and one step closer to skin that feels and looks vibrant, soft and supple. Your dry skincare routine is almost complete. If you're going to add a targeted eye cream, now is the time to do it. Always start with the thinner products when layering.

The eye correctors much like serums are best applied on just cleaned skin. The Correcting Eye Cream should always be used before your moisturiser for more impact. The active ingredients work on hydrating those dark circles and skin under the eyes.

As we see, there are many reasons why our skin can become dry, and consequently dull. Once we have applied the lighter products first, then it’s time to apply a moisturiser to seal in all the goodness delivered by our Soothing Serum.
