Sage Skin Care Recommendations

Listen up, folks! If you want to have the kind of skin that stops traffic and makes people do a double take, you need to start taking care of it like it’s the most precious thing in the world (because let’s be real, it kind of is).

First things first, cleansing is non-negotiable. You can’t expect to have flawless skin if you’re not removing all the dirt, oil, and makeup that’s clogging your pores. So, go out and get yourself a gentle cleanser that’s perfect for your skin type and make sure you’re using it twice a day.

Exfoliating is also a must. You need to get rid of all those dead skin cells that are just hanging out on your face, making it look dull and lackluster. Get a good exfoliator and make sure you’re using it once or twice a week. Common exfoliators including alpha hydroxy acid, beta hydroxy acid & glycolic acid.

When it comes to anti-aging, Retinol is still #1. Retinol penetrates deep into the skin and neutralizes free radicals. This helps boost collagen & elastin production which reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores. Vitamin C is also an important antioxidant, it has a synergistic effect when also used with Retinol. Be sure to use your Vitamin C in morning and your Retinol in the evening.

Finally, the most important: Sun protection! The sun is not your friend when it comes to your skin. It’s going to age you faster than you can say “wrinkles.” So, make sure you’re using a physical sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even when it’s cloudy. Some of the best physical sunblock recommendations are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. They are effective in blocking both UVA and UVB rays and tend to be less irritating for sensitive skin.

And last but not least, consistency is key. You can’t expect to have amazing skin if you’re not taking care of it every single day. So, make sure you’re following all these tips on a regular basis and pay attention to your skin. If you notice any changes or concerns, go see a dermatologist.

So, there you have it folks! The secret to amazing skin. Follow these tips and you’ll have the kind of skin that makes everyone else jealous. And remember, taking care of your skin is not a chore, it’s a privilege. So, give your skin the love and care it deserves, including using physical sunblock to protect it from harmful UV rays.
