Repeatedly, we forget that the biggest organ in our body is- the skin and how it is treated is of utmost importance. But, often we find ourselves in a dilemma about building the correct skincare routine for ourselves. Because let’s be honest, the so-many GRWM and prep my skin videos are not working wonders as expected. For building our customizable skincare routine, we ought to know ourselves. For instance, our skin type, allergies and reactions, favorable products, and most importantly the budget. We must remember that it is not important how expensive a product is or the number of products we use on our skin, but it is the quality that matters.
Knowing your skin and its treatment:
A simple test that costs zero rupees and the most effective is to wash your face with your regular soap and hold off the moisturizer layer for 30-45 minutes. Once done, there are a few observations you can make before you know your skin.
- If there are no patches or stretching, you fall under the normal skin type. It is often assumed that a normal skin type is of low maintenance but, the scientists at Avala Labs have a reason to think otherwise. A good skincare regime with algae extracts is vital even for Normal skin type to act against ageing, dehydration, and hyperpigmentation. A non-treated normal skin can act out into any other skin type and the solution for that is the product: Avala Labs™ Quad Action Skin Repair, For Normal Skin formulated and manufactured by Avala Labs™
- If there is redness and irritation, you’re a sensitive one!
- No moisturizer yet, some glow on your face or T-zone, and a pat can make your fingers sticky; you’re probably under the oily skin type.
- If there are white patches and you experience a pull on your face, your skin type is dry and dehydrated. The use of algae extracts combined with extracts of coffee, areca nut, cinnamon and coconut oil is the ultimate way to treat this skin type. This rare combination can be found in the product Avala Labs™ Quad Action Skin Repair, For Dry Skin formulated and manufactured by Avala Labs™
- Combined skin type is a combination of any of the above one.
Acceptance is important. So how do I know my skin would accept a product?
- Patch Testing:
An efficient way to test any product is to do a patch test. Test on the back of your palm and wait for a few minutes to see if there are any reactions or breakouts. If any, wash the product with water immediately and cease use. While all the ingredients of our products are natural and dermatologically tested to be safe, a patch test is always recommended before beginning any new skincare product. - Litmus Paper Test:
You can also buy litmus paper and conduct a PH-Level test. Any product that has a PH-Level between 6-8 is a good skin care product and would most likely suit your skin.
Steps to keep in mind during skincare:
- Use a cleanser to remove the dirt and open the pores on your skin.
- Moisturize your skin with a light, milky texture that would spread easily because an underrated rule of the skincare world is – Less is more.
- Serums provide an additional boost that helps in skin lightening and tightening and nourishment.
- Toners were used in the 1990s when natural water was used for bathing and cleaning purposes. Toners would bring the skin evenness that was needed. Since we live in the year 2023 and we use processed water, toners have lost the pedestal position they once held. Although, you can inculcate the use of algae-based skin products for skin evenness and smoothness.
- And lastly, do not forget protection! You can also opt for serums/moisturizers containing SPF to combine two steps in one. You can also reach out for algae-based cosmetics as they are a natural sun protector since they grow and develop using the method of photosynthesis.
Things you can do in your day-to-day life for glowing skin:
- Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate – by using algae extracts algae skincare products and drinking water!
- Avoid active/passive smoking.
- Clean your face with water every few hours.
- Pat dry using a clean cotton cloth.
- Avoid constant touching of your skin.
- Do not forget your skincare routine!
- Be patient and let the products show results in about 12-14 weeks.
- Avoid introducing new products all at once.
