Welcoming a New Year, noticing the change of seasons, or reaching a milestone often prompts us to look at our wellness routine. It’s the time we feel motivated to make positive changes to our lives and ideally, commit to them! When it comes to skincare, we believe being consistent with your skincare is the surest way to build good habits and achieve the complexion you’ve been dreaming about.
Make it realistic
Create a lasting skincare routine by making it realistic for you. If you’re not much of a morning person, you won’t want to wake up earlier to apply layers of skincare products. You’d be better off spending more time on your evening routine, if possible. Similarly, if you’d rather spend your evenings with loved ones than in front of the mirror, you should aim for a streamlined night-time skincare routine.
People that would like to spend as little time as possible on their skin would benefit from a very simple cleansing and moisturising routine (and applying sunscreen during the day). The wearable SAN LUEUR Advanced LED Light Therapy Facial Mask can target your specific skin concerns, reducing the need for extra steps or products.
On the other hand, some people enjoy a lengthy skincare routine as part of their daily wellness rituals. Even if you’re happy to commit to a few extra skincare steps, ensure you’re not overdoing it or using unnecessary products. Regularly using a skincare device like the SAN LUEUR Advanced LED Light Therapy Facial Mask feels like a luxurious treatment but doesn’t create additional waste in your routine like add-on products often do.
Use other habits
Even if you have the best intentions, you might forget to complete your skincare routine every now and then. A helpful hint is to associate applying skincare with other things you do every day without even thinking. This includes applying moisturiser after you brush your teeth in the morning, leaving a tube of sunscreen next to your keys, and cleansing your face in the evening before you snuggle into your sleepwear. You might like to wear your SAN LUEUR Advanced LED Light Therapy Facial Mask while preparing a meal, watching your favourite TV show, or when you’re ready in bed in your sleepwear, ready to switch off at the end of the day and indulge in some you-time.
Track your progress
There’s no better motivation to keep you on track than seeing proof that what you’re doing is working. We encourage you to regularly take photos of your skin to track your progress. Our skin cycle renews every 28 to 30 days, so taking a progress photo at the start of each month will work as a great visual tool for you. This is helpful if you try a new skincare routine or introduce SAN LUEUR Advanced LED Light Therapy Facial Mask to your regimen. (For best results, ensure your lighting and photo angles are consistent.) You don’t have to keep your skin success all to yourself - share your progress photos with us by tagging #sanlueur or @sanlueur on Instagram.
The most visible skin changes often take months to become noticeable, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t immediately see results. Your skin won’t look dramatically different overnight, or even in a week or two. But if you care for it consistently, you’ll gradually notice your skin’s look, feel, and overall quality will improve over weeks and months. Future-you (and your skin) will thank you for it.
