Your skincare doesn’t need to be trendy. Instead, unglamorous staples can go a long way
Everyone has an end ritual: habits or routines that help them get out of chaos of the day. For me, Friday evening was centered on a care routine in seven stages to decompress after a week of demanding work. This day, I was particularly impatient from the second step: exfoliation. Admittedly, this new Korean toner Aha-Bha would ban the obstinate break up my left cheek, an unwelcome precursor of my period. So I cleaned my face, soaked a cotton with the solution and firmly pressed it against the incriminated area for a full minute – with hindsight, a step that I should have approached with more prudence. The result? A chemical burn that left me with a hard brown scabies the size of a fifty-païsa room for an entire week.
Mumble, I turned to the lower shelf of my dresser to get help. It is the unpretentious house of my care products without frills that have served me reliably for years. The cleansing lotion of cetaphil and soframycin, a reliable duo that promises healing and comfort, has taken out. None of them has the elegant packaging of their more trendy counterparts, but they offer exactly what my fiery skin needed: softness and consistency. Incidents like these are reminders of the value of the “proven products, the original pillars of skin care that constantly delivers without drama. Although the thrill of innovation is difficult to resist, there is undeniable insurance in the reliability of already proven and familiar.
If you are looking for the term evolution, a definition calls it the progressive development of something. The concept contains almost everything – how we think, what we wear, what we eat or the things that capture our fantasy. My interest has always been stung by evolution in the world of beauty. A salicylic acid under the roll? Register me. A red light mask that fights inflammation? Irresistible. A body scrub of aromatherapy that guarantees baby’s soft skin? Already take my money. But if my experiences taught me something, it is that experimentation too can be a sword with double -edged sword. Do too much, and you may cancel the very results you hoped to get. The beauty industry is a constant innovation field, projecting skin, makeup and hybrid care that promises to solve each misfortune. And thanks to social media, many of these products become viral overnight – some for their catchy packaging, others for their promising formulas. But everything is not worth the media threshing.
