3 Reasons Why You Need A Consistent Skincare Routine 

As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built overnight. And the same is true for your skin! 

Now, you’ve heard Dr. Sister say it a lot…When it comes to skincare, consistency is key.  

No matter what your skin concern or your skin type is. Staying consistent with your beauty rituals and giving yourself enough time will lead to long-lasting results.

And here’s why…

_________________________________________________________________________

Skin Cycles

Your body loses dead skin cells and creates new ones constantly. In fact, it takes around thirty days for the new cells to be fully developed. 

And as you age this can take even longer. By the time you’re reached 50, new skin cells may need up to 60 days to complete just one skin cycle. 

This cycle can also get affected by other factors. Think of changing hormones, stress, your diet and even your environment (especially if you live in a city)…

Causing your skin to “slow down” and even your pores to clog up. 

But what does all this mean for your skincare?

Well, it’s simple. 

Since there’s new skin cells to the surface all the time, you want to keep nourishing these as best as possible. To boost your natural skin cell regeneration and keep your pores clear. 

Staying consistent with your skincare products will ensure your skin cycle is always supported…

No matter what stage it’s at. 

_________________________________________________________________________

Products Need Time

It’s not just your skin needing time…

Your skincare products start working as soon as you apply them. But because of your skin’s natural cycle, it’ll take a few weeks or even a couple of months to see clear results.

Allowing for dead skin cells to be fully removed from your skin’s surface…

And for new, glowing healthy cells to reach the top. 

So we recommend giving your products at least six to eight weeks of consistent use, before you fully evaluate the results.

And don’t forget, once you’ve seen results, it’s time to maintain them!

So stay committed to making long-lasting habits. 

Here’s what to expect:

_________________________________________________________________________

Your Skin Is Unique

Everyone is different, so the same goes for your skin and your very own skin cycle. 

Even though some people can see results faster than others, or even enjoy clear skin without much effort…

This is not the reality for most of us. 

Different skin types, health conditions and your environment will affect your skin’s health. So take time to work out what works for you and your specific needs.

And be patient, giving your skin the daily nourishment it needs to look its best.

Tips To Help You Stay Consistent

It’s late at night, after a busy day and the last thing on your mind is doing your skincare. You might even be tempted to go to bed with your make-up still on…

We’ve all been there. 

So here’s some handy tips to help you stay consistent, even on the days you just haven’t got the energy. 

✨ Move up your night routine

Don’t leave cleansing and applying your products to the very last minute. In fact we recommend doing your skincare as soon as you get back home, if you can. That way you don’t have to worry about fitting it in right before bed. 

And what’s more? This will actually allow plenty of time for your skin products to fully absorb and start working, well before your face hits that pillow. 

✨ Track your results 

Take before and after pictures of your skin. This way you can easily keep track of your progress and use these to motivate you. This is especially important before you start using a new product. 

So, we suggest taking a photo of your skin at least once a month during your skincare journey. And do feel free to share your results with us. We’d love to celebrate your success! 

✨ Find a buddy

Partner up with a friend who may have similar skincare goals. Forming new habits together will keep you motivated and accountable. This way you can share your goals and celebrate your results together. 

_________________________________________________________________________

It might be a cliché, but it’s true. Consistency is key…

Visible results won’t happen overnight and can take anywhere between four to eight weeks. So, don’t forget: true skincare is an ongoing process. 

And there’s no better time to start looking after your skin (and yourself) than now. 

With some easy everyday changes and a simple skincare routine you can see truly amazing results.

Skincare Over 50 Made Simple: How To Create Your Perfect Ritual

Finding the perfect skincare routine is crucial, especially after 50.

As time passes, your complexion can become weakened, leading to irritation and dryness. But a simple routine can be just what you need, to help you feel confident at any age!

So here’s how to create your perfect skincare ritual, step by step. 

Cleansing: A Fresh Start

Before you apply any products, always start by using a gentle cleanser…

To ensure your skin is free from any pollutants, which could cause blocked pores and irritation. 

Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Cleansing will help prepare your skin for the next steps, ensuring your skincare products are absorbed effectively. 

Hydration: Lock in Moisture 

After you’ve cleansed, it’s now important to rehydrate your skin. 

A quality anti-ageing moisturiser will not only help to replenish and lock in moisture, but also target fine lines and wrinkles. 

For a “youthful-infusion”, giving your skin just what it’s craving. 

We recommend Dr. Sister’s Younger You for this step. 

Start by warming it up between fingers and then apply gently in upwards circular motions for the best results. 

Use this morning and night for best results. 

Anti-Ageing Superheroes

Now is the time to use products for specific skin concerns. Such as dark spots, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation.

For this step consider using Dr. Sister’s Dark Spot Vanish. 

Helping you get rid of dark spots and achieve an even, youthful complexion at any age. 

Apply this gently with your ring finger, to avoid tugging on any sensitive skin. Use on your face, chest, neck or any other parts of your body, as needed.

If you’d like to target  sagging, crepey skin you could choose Crepe Rewind. For a smoother, tighter look on all areas of your body, such as arms, chest or even your legs. 

Sun Protection: Shield Your Skin 

Protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays is non-negotiable. 

So for your next step, we recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least an SPF30. 

Use this daily in the morning, after you’ve applied your moisturiser. And don’t forget to do this even on cloudy days!

To safeguard your skin from further damage and premature ageing. 

And if you want to go the extra mile…

Don’t forget your neck, chest and other parts of your body, which might also get exposed to sunlight.

Ritual for Your Eyes Only

Last but not least come your eyes, one of the most sensitive areas of your body…

And one that can quickly give away your age, if plagued with crow’s feet, dull skin and under-eye circles. 

Which is why we recommend using a light, gentle eye cream, to relieve puffiness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.

Don’t forget to also apply this gently, using your ring finger.

The best time for an eye cream is as part of your night-time routine. As during the night your skin cells regenerate and you naturally produce more collagen…

So, combining this natural process with a targeted eye cream, will help combate signs of ageing and revitalise the skin around your eyes.

A Boost From Within

When caring for your skin, you don’t have to stick to the surface. 

So the best way to fully boost your skincare results is to also nourish your skin from within…

Dr. Sister’s Inner Beauty is the perfect choice. A unique beauty enhancing formula with all the powerful nutrients your body needs…For healthy, smoother skin with just one capsule! 

And what’s more…

Inner Beauty can also help you achieve stronger, healthier hair and nails. For a younger-looking, glowing appearance from top to bottom.

Bonus Tip

Did you know thinning, dull-looking lashes and eyebrows can also reveal your age? 

These might not be part of your usual skincare routine, but with a little extra care they can truly transform your look!

For this we suggest using a natural lash and eyebrow serum as your very last step. Helping you regain thick, strong, glowing lashes and healthy, shaped eyebrows.

So why not try out Dr. Sister’s Lash Saviour serum…to help you look as young as you feel! 

Consistency: Stick to Your Ritual

As always, consistency is key to radiant, youthful-looking skin. 

So, stick to your ritual and be patient. With consistent care you will start to notice some amazing results! 

And remember: simple is best. Skincare over 50 doesn’t have to be complicated. 

By following these easy steps, which cater to your skin’s changing needs…You too can achieve a youthful, radiant look.

So you can age gracefully and confidently.
