Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center. https://bhrcenter.com/3-skin-care-products-you-cant-live-without/ to guarantee healthy, glowing skin!

1. FACIAL CLEANSER

Do you know when you wake up in the morning with a sweaty, oily face? Well, know that this is completely normal! After all, we produce oil. However, it is not a very cool look, right? At these times, a facial cleanser will save you!

Just as in the morning you must wash your face with a facial cleanser specific to your skin type (oily, mixed, or dry), before bed, the process must be the same! The facial cleanser is essential to remove impurities, unclog pores, and help prevent acne and blackheads. So don’t leave this item out of your routine!

2. TONER

Toners are like chamomile tea to the skin. It makes it smooth, calm, and fresh. You should be applying toner after you cleanse your face. As we said, it helps to smooth your skin, and that is because it reestablishes the skin’s pH. But be aware that there are 3 main types of tonics, indicated for different skin types:

• Astringent: This one is the strongest type, oftentimes containing alcohol in its formula. It’s mainly indicated to those who suffer from acne or have really oily skin.
• Fresheners: If you have sensitive skin, dry skin, or don’t have any specific skin-related issue, you should go for this one! It contains water and moisturizing substances, very gentle to the skin!
• Tonics: If you suffer from blackheads or occasional acne, opt for a skin tonic. At the same time, it helps to reduce oiliness, it doesn’t leave your skin dehydrated.

3. MOISTURIZER

Moisturizer is a must for everyone! After everything, our skin handles throughout the day (makeup, pollution, sunlight, etc), a little hydration is needed! That’s why every time you wash your face you should be applying moisturizer.

By using moisturizer you guarantee your face is getting enough nutrients, meaning it will seem smoother and healthier (and who doesn’t want that?). Keep in mind, though, that there are specific moisturizers for each skin type, ok?  

4. EXFOLIATING CLEANSER

The exfoliating cleanser removes dead skin, leaving the face feeling smooth and fresh. Just like the regular facial cleanser, an exfoliating one helps to unclog pores. However, it mustn’t be used very frequently – try to use it once or twice a week, max. You don’t want to overuse it because it will destroy the protective barrier of the skin.

5. SUNSCREEN

If you’re not using sunscreen already, just know that you should be! Sunlight exposure makes us susceptible to UV rays, the causes of wrinkles, skin cancer, aging signs, etc. By applying sunscreen everyday (and every two hours), you will be protecting yourself from a lot of future consequences!

And, yes: You should use sunscreen even when the weather is rainy or foggy and when you are wearing makeup!

SERUM

Serums are one of the most talked-about cosmetics nowadays. And we must say that they deserve all the praise they are getting! Imagine taking a substance that is great for the skin, like vitamin C, and instead of mixing it with other chemicals, you concentrate only vitamin C on a package. Well, that is serum! 

There are lots of serum options out there but the vitamin C one, as well as the hyaluronic acid serum, are some of the most popular! And since you want the ingredients on the serum to get as deep as possible into your skin, apply it right after cleansing and toning your face, before the moisturizer!

Ready to add these products to your skincare routine? We know it seems like a lot, but keep in mind that taking care of your skin, hair, and body is a way to love yourself. One way to make self-care more fun is by choosing different products, such as the great quality Brazilian products that Metro Brazil exports to several countries (take a look at them here)! So, don’t waste time, and go take care of yourself! Your self-esteem thanks you!
