Skincare For Beginners
Whether you’re a teen just starting out in skincare, or someone who’s dabbled in it but never really got it, skincare can seem a little daunting at the beginning.
At Give Me, we’re here to help you demystify skincare, and make it simple but effective - exactly the way we like it!
Today, we’re going all the way back to the start and looking at beginner friendly skincare, teaching you how to build a skincare routine for yourself.
Let’s get started…
Where Do I Start?
First off, skincare shouldn’t be complicated!
We strive to help make skincare simple, meaning that it’s accessible to all, no matter who you are.
The first step in starting your skincare routine is to ask ‘What is my skin type?’ - good job we’ve got a blog to help you figure it out!
Once you’ve figured that out, it’s much easier to pick the right skincare products and ingredients for you.
Speaking of ingredients, it’s key to find out which ingredients do what when building your skincare routine.
This paired with knowing your skin type means you can build a base for your skincare routine, making it easier in the long run to swap and change products if and when you need to.
Skincare Starter Kit
Luckily for you, we’ve built a skincare routine in a bundle so that you don’t even need to think about it!
Say hello to the Skincare Starter Kit, the perfect place to start for those wanting to build their own routine!
Free of actives, it’s gentle on the skin and super simple to use, also perfect for those with busy lifestyles.
Step 1: Green Tea & Vitamin E Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm helps to effectively break down grime, dirt, and products, giving your skin the chance to breathe.
It also works to hydrate the skin, soothe irritation, and purify pores.
Step 2: Witch Hazel Face Toner
Next up, our Witch Hazel Face Toner gets to work by helping to smooth and tone pores and fight against breakouts.
It also promotes an overall even skin texture and skin health.
Step 3: Hyaluronic Acid & Retinol Face Serum
Offering a hydrating formula, our Hyaluronic Acid & Retinol Face Serum works to hydrate and moisturise the skin, promoting a bright, smooth complexion.
Step 4: Brightening Vitamin E Eye Cream
The next step has to be our Brightening Vitamin E Eye Cream, which works to hydrate the under eyes and reduce puffiness.
It also works to reduce the appearance of dark circles around the eyes, and brighten the under-eye area.
Step 5: Day Cream
Last but not least, we’ve got our Day Cream, a skin-loving product that helps to hydrate the skin.
Not only does it absorb quickly, but it also works to promote a more hydrated complexion!
A Few More Skincare Tips
Now that we’ve talked through the steps for your beginners skincare routine, we want to leave you with a few more tips:
Less is more: Keep it simple. When you’re just starting out in skincare, you don’t want to overload your face and risk breakouts or other skin concerns. Start with a few key items and build from there.
Always patch test: With any new skincare product, we’d always suggest doing a patch test to make sure it works well for your skin.
Research, research, research: When it comes to new ingredients or products, do your research on them to make sure they’re right for you.
Create the perfect routine for YOU: Getting tips and recommendations from friends and people online is great, but don’t copy someone else’s routine and expect it to have the same results for you. Everyone has different skin, so find out what yours needs!
And there you have it, a blueprint to create your very own beginners skincare routine.
Have fun trying out some new skincare and finding out what brings out your glow!
