Gen Z, more than any other, knows the importance of putting mental health first. So it’s no wonder that self-care is so highly prized by this generation. Adopting a practical and equally effective beauty care routine is an excellent strategy for reducing stress and anxiety. In this sense, it’s also worth investing in cosmetics that combine multiple actions in a single product.

This generation knows that there is no age to start a skincare routine and they show us what dermatologists have been preaching for some time: prevention is the best way forward, after all, the damage caused by external agents accumulates over time. And the most powerful weapon in this fight is sunscreen, from an early age!

Young people are interested in buying more products that are considered clean, natural and sustainable. For example, the trend known as Clean Beauty has gained popularity among this audience. Therefore, the cosmetics sought by Gen Z, in addition to being clean for the skin, must also be harmless to the environment.

So, do you already follow any of the GenZ tips?

Two years have passed and after that multi-step routine, people are back to valuing a more minimalist routine, as time and life have returned to a hustle and bustle.

Have you ever heard the term “quiet quitting”? Referring to doing only the bare minimum in the workplace. The term became popular on TikTok and it seems there is now a movement to apply the same approach to skincare.

Pin

Forget the 10 steps or more in your skincare routine, because now the idea is to simplify and use only essential active ingredients for your skin. The idea is to uncomplicate the routine and make it a pleasure to apply a few products to your skin that are actually effective for the conditions it presents.

Pin

Quiet quitting in beauty leaves aside those products that promise quick, short-term solutions, with complicated routines that cause more harm than good. You can also bet on versatile products, with active ingredients that perform more than one function at the same time.

So, who already loves and follows a simple but equally effective routine?

Each mask concentrates specific benefits for the skin, such as nourishing, preventing aging, treating acne, detoxing, reducing oiliness, reducing pores and much more – everything will depend on the product’s formula.

When it comes to composition and texture, besides the classic fabric face mask, nowadays there are other types as well, such as cream, clay and liquid masks (also known as peel off).

Pin

Pin

With clean and dry skin, you can apply the cream, clay or peel-off masks with a brush or even with your fingers. Wait the action time indicated on the product packaging and then remove the mask with water. For the peel-off mask, after the product has completely dried on the face, you can gently pull it from the sides to the center of the face – if any small pieces of product remain, just remove it with a cotton round and water. In all cases, then just follow your skincare routine normally.

For the fabric mask – the famous sheet masks, apply it on your clean face, adjusting so that it covers the entire face. Wait for the action time indicated on the product packaging and then remove the fabric, but do not rinse your face. Just wait for the skin to completely absorb all the liquid and voilà: treated skin!

The use of a face mask is not a substitute for daily skin care, but it can help to enhance treatments. Nowadays, the beauty industry offers masks for all skin types, as well as for specific needs of each one. This type of product (regardless of its texture or composition), should be used once or twice a week and the indications vary according to the special needs of your skin.

Which face masks do you love and which ones would you like to try?

When washing your face, choose a mild or neutral soap that cleans without harming. Also, avoid causing friction in the area (this goes for any skincare product or makeup used in the area) and use only your fingertips on the skin, drying it with a soft, cotton face towel and pressing it lightly.

Speaking of friction, do not use exfoliants, makeup remover wipes and/or other abrasive products on this area. This can end up causing lesions on the skin, besides increasing sensitivity, causing flaking, redness, and possible allergies.

Far beyond the facial moisturizer, invest in a specific moisturizer for the eye area. This type of product is enriched with actives that can help reduce darker pigmentation in the region, restoring luminosity, in addition to protecting against sagging and fine lines of expression – all without irritating the skin. Eye products with antioxidants like Vitamins C and E are great options, for example.

Pin

Less is more, so don’t apply too much product to the eye area. A drop on each side is already great! As the skin in the area is very thin, with little product you ensure greater absorption. In addition, apply and spread the products using the ring finger, always working from the outside inwards, massaging in a circular fashion around the eyes to stimulate blood circulation.

Pin

In addition, you can include a more potent cream and treatment for the eye area in your night routine. They tend to have a thicker texture and are also rich in powerful actives that act in anti-aging skin, ensuring more firmness and smoothness to the skin.

No skipping sunscreen! This product is indispensable to protect the skin from UV rays and even from the light of electronic devices, thus avoiding skin cancer, photoaging, and even the appearance and worsening of spots.

So, how is your eye care routine going?

With countless options and textures in the beauty market, understand the differences between vitamins C and choose the best one for your skin type! For this, it is essential to first look at the concentration of this ingredient in the formula, since dermatologists recommend that it be between 10% and 20%, since lower percentages are less effective, while amounts above can react negatively on the skin.

Pin

“The 20% concentration is proven to be more effective and has good tolerability. Research shows that tissue levels increase in proportion to the increase in the dose of vitamin C. Only people with more sensitive skin may require lower concentrations,” explains Andrea Bauer Bannach, medical manager in dermatology for the Profuse brand.

Another important point is to understand whether vitamin C comes in its pure or stabilized form. This is because it is an acid that is difficult to stabilize, so oxidation is faster when it is pure, which can end up reducing the effectiveness of the product. When it is stabilized, the formula becomes more durable, as there is less chance of oxidation.

In addition to the antioxidant action and benefits mentioned above, vitamin C is ideal for stimulating collagen synthesis, reducing wrinkles and expression lines throughout use, in addition to combating sagging and improving skin health.

And the best part:

“Some color change is considered normal and is usually informed by the manufacturer. It is necessary to respect the storage conditions described on the packaging, especially keeping the lid tightly closed and avoiding temperature variations”, advises Dr. Andrea.

She also points out not to use products past their expiration date or with a history of inadequate storage, since reactions such as irritations and allergies can occur, in addition to reducing the effectiveness of the actives.

To deal with the various skin phases over time, check out the tips from dermatologist Dr. Fayruss Costa, who explains what care is needed to maintain healthy and beautiful skin at different ages.

At the age of 20

Pin

According to Dr. Costa, at 20 years of age the skin has a lot of vigor, shine and support, since it is full of collagen. Therefore, in this phase, you can only care for and treat specific skin features, such as the dreaded acne. “Another interesting feature of this phase is that it becomes necessary to use sunscreen and establish a skincare routine. In addition to home care, at 20, it is interesting to perform skin cleansing, if necessary, and more delicate treatments, such as LEDs, to stimulate skin cell renewal”, he adds.

At the age of 30

Pin

With the arrival of the 30s, the skin begins to show the first signs of aging, such as loss of elasticity and natural moisture. Therefore, the first wrinkles and expression lines may appear. This indicates that it is time to start using more specific products to “control”, treat, and even prevent the appearance of the first signs. “At 30, it is interesting to introduce the use of anti-aging creams, soft exfoliators to help cell renewal and even a serum with vitamin C and other antioxidants, in addition to body health care, such as drinking plenty of water and eating well,” explains Fayruss.

At the age of 40

Pin

Did you know that the slowing down of collagen production starts at the age of 25? Thus, at 40, the skin has already lost a considerable amount of this protein. “With this, it is necessary, besides the mandatory use of sunscreen, to use cell renewers, such as acids, collagen stimulators, and reinforce the use of antioxidants, so that they help the skin in this process, providing more quality and firmness,” he points out.

From age 50 and up

Pin

From this age on, the skin begins to suffer more intensely the impacts of the hormonal changes that began at 40. In addition, natural processes such as menopause can make the dermis more fragile and flaccid. To mitigate these consequences, cellular renewers are recommended, such as retinoic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidants. “It is also recommended to intensify the use of collagen stimulators and hydration, because the skin will become much thinner and drier,” said the doctor.

Pin

Extra tip: “If you can use anything to keep your skin healthy, it’s sunscreen, at all ages. Be sure to use it”, concludes Costa.

So, which skin care stage are you in?

However, with the return of a busy routine, people began to look for more practical, quick and equally effective care and treatments for their skin. Sounds like a miracle? Not with Microneedling!

Pin

Pin

Known as derma-stamping or dermarolling, microneedling is considered a minimally invasive treatment where a facial roller with tiny, very fine needles is used to create a controlled micro-lesion on the skin’s surface.

This treatment promises to improve the appearance of scars, pigmentation, fine lines, pore size, and wrinkles, as well as providing an instantaneous glow to the skin, allowing products to better penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, “speeding up” skin care.

Pin

Pin

This treatment is often especially effective for those with scarring and pigmentation on their face, but it is not suitable for those with active acne, rosacea, or any skin infection, as this can aggravate the condition.

And beware: microneedling can be done in clinics and beauty centers, but it can also be done at home for similar benefits. However, some professionals point out that hygiene problems with the roller can transfer bacteria and dirt to the skin. So if you choose to do it at home, keep the roller on a sterile surface and clean it with isopropyl alcohol before and after each use.

Cleansing

Properly cleansed skin is the best bet for products to last longer on the face. To do this, bet on cleansing the skin with micellar water to remove any residue from other products and impurities, proceed to the facial cleansing gel or soap and finally, tone the skin to rebalance its pH, leaving the skin properly prepared for the following steps.

Pin

Moisturizing

Moisturizing is essential so that the foundation or concealer does not leave a dry or oilier than normal skin appearance during the day, besides ensuring its durability and natural glow.

Moreover, not hydrating the face causes the skin to absorb any water present in the composition of the products, which can cause even more oiliness.

Pin

After Makeup

After finalizing your makeup, there’s nothing better than using a setting mist, this way you can ensure that your makeup lasts longer, powdery aspect of the skin, gets an extra touch of hydration, and even protects the skin.

Ah, just don’t forget to remove all the makeup after a long day, okay? To do this, just repeat the cleansing procedures ((it’s worth betting on a good makeup remover before the cleansing gel). It is important not only to clean the face, but also the eye area and even the neck.

Which skincare step do you love most before makeup?

Known as Skin Cycling, the new routine that’s been a hit was created and popularized by the North American dermatologist Whitney Bowe. The doctor created a “skin cycling” method, which consists of just four steps (one per day), with specific products and assets for each day, in order to renew and enrich the health of the skin.

Pin

It all starts with cleansing the skin, followed by exfoliation on the first night, the use of retinol on the second day, and the use of creams specially indicated to repair the skin barrier on the third and fourth day – allowing the skin to recover from the actions of the first phases. Got confused? Then check out the step by step procedure shared by Dr. Whitney:

Night 1

Chemical exfoliation: to prepare the skin, deeply clean the pores and remove all dead skins.

Night 2

Retinoid: stimulate the acceleration of skin cell turnover, helping to treat mild acne, hyperpigmentation and scarring. Also ideal for visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Noites 3 & 4

Time to recover your skin! Invest in hydrating serums or moisturizing creams that don’t contain the active ingredients used the night before. Dermatologist recommends hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides.

Simple, practical, and apparently effective, right? Who here has tested this routine that is trending on TikTok?

The idea is that, in addition to a perfectly clean face, this routine will help the skin absorb and therefore make the next skincare products more effective. The result? Healthy, smooth, radiant skin.

Double Cleansing was born in Asia and consists of first melting away makeup, sunscreen, and all the dirt from the skin, and then deeply removing all the impurities in the pores. This routine is recommended for night skincare and for that, you’ll need just two products: a cleansing oil (or make-up removing balm) and a facial cleanser (or soap, gel) for your skin type.

Pin

First apply the cleansing oil to the skin and massage the face with your fingertips until all products are effectively melted away. To remove the oil from the skin, you can use a dry face towel or warm water, cotton pads, or even emulsify the skin with water. Then cleanse the skin with a facial soap with nourishing actives that restore the skin barrier. After that, just carry on with your routine as usual, either by applying moisturizing products or actives for specific treatments.

Double Cleansing is suitable for all skin types (even the oily or sensitive ones), just use the right products for your skin type.

So, who has already tried out this type of cleansing? What are your favorite Double Cleansing products?
