GO TO BAOPALS

To some, proper skin care can be a process that some people have trouble understanding. Our minds immediately blank at the names of complex acids or minerals and default to items with terms we are more comfortable with, such as moisturizing or hydrating.

Thankfully, American skincare guru Hyram has begun to change this, educating people on how important it is to look after your skin and that it is truly the ultimate form of self-care.

According to Hyram, a good skincare routine is made up of four components. Cleansing to extract the dirt and oils that collect deep within your pores. Treatment to tackle the wide variety of skin issues one could have. Moisturizing to hydrate the skin. And lastly, Sunscreen to protect from sun damage as well as maintaining your overall skin health.

Hyram passionately advocates that good skincare doesn't have to be overly complicated or cost you a lot of money. Here are his top picks for skincare products that are both affordable and get the job done.

Cleansing

Cleansing is probably the simplest step out of these four. The most important factor is figuring out your skin type on the spectrum of dry to oily. Hyram swears by CeraVe, as most of their product formulas contain ingredients that are simple yet effective. He recommends the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser for those with relatively normal skin.

The CeraVe and Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser, however, are treatment cleansers, both containing salicylic acid that helps to remove dirt, bacteria, and grime that has built up on the skin's surface so that pores can remain clear and free from irritants. Treatment cleansers are basically the cleansing and treatment step fused into one, and although he recommends you keep both steps separate to maximize benefits gained from the use of the products, he’s still stamped these two treatment cleansers with his approval for those who value convenience.

Treatment

Treatments are great for getting rid of issues in the skin and preventing long-term damage. These issues can vary from breakouts, acne, aging, dark spots, sensitivity, irritations, etc.

A common skin issue is acne and breakouts. A frequent cause of this is clogged pores and what often gets the job done are salicylic acids which are great for going deep into the pores and pushing out all the backed-up dead skin cells. Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) essentially is salicylic acid, and the Inkey BHA Serum serves to unclog pores and is a best friend to anyone prone to breakouts.

The Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum is an excellent product for people with sensitive skin. Due to the less aggressive nature of niacinamide, it's a product fit for all skin types and is great for reducing redness and sensitivity, getting rid of hyperpigmentation and dark spots within the skin. It also reduces oil and sebum production within the skin, making your skin less oily and greasy over time.

Next we have retinol. Retinol's main focus is reducing signs of aging and sun damage by helping the process of skin cell turn over. Think of it as a very graceful form of human skin shedding. The Ordinary 5% Retinol is great for those looking to reduce the presence of fine lines and signs of aging, but for the sake of allowing your skin to grow accustomed to this moderate strength retinol, start by using it once a week and working your way up.

Moisturizer

In regards to moisturizers, Hyram circles back and highlights CeraVe. Due to the fact that a moisturizer doesn't have as complex of a job as treatment products, you really don't need to get an outrageously priced one. CeraVe moisturizers are simple, get the job done, and effectively hydrate the skin.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! The importance of sunscreen is often overlooked in a skincare routine but is vital in protecting your skin from the sun, as well as preventing long-term damage. Dr. Jart+'s Every Sun Day is an oil-free sunscreen with rave reviews. Apply it as the very last step of your new skin routine to seal in and reap the benefits of the first three steps!
