Exfoliating can often be a step some people either forgo or overdo. Our skin naturally sheds dead skin cells to make way for new ones. As we age this cycle slows down. Dead skin cells left behind can trap bacteria and cause breakouts, leaving skin looking dull,  textured and unresponsive to some products. Exfoliating is a key step in boosting skin regeneration and removing dead skin cells. By exfoliating we reveal a brighter, smoother, fresher complexion and allow the products we use to work to their maximum ability. Exfoliating makes your skin, and everything you use after it perform better! Exfoliating your skin should be done weekly. With Lira Clinical our Anti-aging pads offer an at-home exfoliating treatment. They also deliver a gentle peel using a blend of acids to remove dead skin cells and brighten the skin. Skin feels soft and smooth and looks brighter. Enlarged pores will be less noticeable and lines will appear softened. With regular use, these pads have the power to change your skin for the better.

Clear, hydrated glowing skin is always the goal, isn't it? Let's talk about the basic skincare routine and what it looks like. This shouldn't be overly complicated and be done both in the morning and evening. Your starting point is a great cleanser that you can use morning and night. I spoke about this in my last blog post. This is the first step, and the most important. If you are applying skincare to dirty skin it isn't going to be effective. (Read more about cleansing here) Straight onto clean skin goes your serum. Choose a serum that targets your main concerns. That could be hydration, pigmentation, age prevention or blemishes. Serums are created with more active ingredients and can work deep within the skin to promote change. Next up is eye cream. The skin around the eyes is 5 times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face so it needs some extra TLC. Fourth and final is your moisturiser. During the day this should include a minimum of an SPF 30 all year round. Sun damage is the biggest threat to our skin, so protect it now and prevent premature ageing and pigmentation in the future.

Cleansing is arguably the most important step in your skin care routine. Let me tell you why. Cleansing removes makeup, sweat, dirt, bacteria and SPF from your skin. If you don't cleanse your skin sufficiently all these elements will make your skin dull, sensitive and blemished. Applying any skincare products to dirty skin will simply never work and your makeup won't last. The first step is to choose a cleanser suitable for your skin type. Using one that is too harsh will strip your skin of all it's essential moisture making everything you follow it with work much harder than it needs too. You should clean your skin every morning and evening. The evening cleanse should be performed twice. The first is to remove makeup and surface impurities. The second to really clean the skin at a much deeper level. The morning cleanse removes excess skincare you applied before bed and bacteria from your bedding overnight.
