Want to make sure that you’re giving your skin the very best? Read on as Lionesse shares nine game-changing skin care secrets that could very quickly transform your complexion.
1) Warm Your Skin Before Applying a Sheet Mask
Love using sheet masks? Us too! Not only do sheet masks feel ultra-soothing when applied, but they’re also intensely hydrating and usually pack a range of other benefits too. The Diamond Rejuvenation Facial and Eye Mask from Lionesse, for example, will hydrate, firm, and smooth your complexion, leaving it looking wrinkle-free. The Neck & Chest Lifting HydroGem Mask has similar effects but has been shaped in a way that enables your décolletage to soak up the magic of a sheet mask too.
With most sheet masks containing an array of superstar ingredients, it only makes sense to want to get the most out of them. The best way to do this is to encourage absorption, which is something that warm temperatures can do. Heat leaves the pores feeling relaxed and dilated, allowing more of the serum that your sheet mask has been soaked in to penetrate your skin.
How can you warm your skin before masking? Run a clean washcloth under warm water and then gently dab that onto your face. Apply your sheet mask while your skin is still partially damp and all of those extra water molecules will be pushed into your skin, giving you an extra hydration boost.
2) The Best Eye Creams Contain Caffeine
Many people think that eye creams are a big con, and it’s easy to understand why. Take a look at some of the eye creams out there and you’ll notice that their ingredient lists are almost identical to the face creams from the same brand.
While that may be the case, not all eye creams are like this. Some genuinely are formulated specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes, which really does have its own unique set of needs due to its thinner nature.
How can you tell if an eye cream is worth investing in? While there are a few ingredients that work well around the eyes, caffeine is one that you definitely want to see. Multiple studies have proven this ingredient to be one of the best for reducing the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, crow’s feet, and other visible skin concerns related to the eye area. It does so without causing any irritation too.
This is why caffeine features in both of the eye creams from Lionesse; the Amber Eye Cream and the Amber Dark Circle Eye Cream. Whichever one you choose, the inclusion of caffeine ensures that you’ve found a winner!
3) The Window Seat on a Plane Can Damage Your Skin
Is the window seat usually your seat of choice when you’re on a plane? If so, one of the skin care secrets that people often don’t talk about is how damaging this seat can be for your skin, especially if you’re a frequent flyer.
What’s wrong with the window seat? It significantly increases your exposure to UV radiation. UVA rays in particular easily make it through that little window, where they then wreak havoc on your skin cells. Not only do they accelerate the skin aging process, but they’re also responsible for certain skin cancers. These dangers are exacerbated even further when flying over clouds or snow. Those surfaces magnify UV rays, intensifying their damage. This is why pilots and cabin crew staff are known for having an increased risk of melanoma and other skin cancers.
If you’re still insistent on a window seat or don’t have a choice in the matter, make sure that your skin is well protected with an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen. Use the window shade as much as possible to minimize direct UV exposure.
4) Your Skin Type Can, and Most Likely Will, Change
While it’s true that your skin type is something you’re born with, this isn’t something that’s going to remain the same as you progress through life. Many people make the mistake of assuming that their skin type will never change, causing them to fail to fully meet the needs of their skin.
While genetics play a big role in determining your skin type, the following factors are powerful enough to influence this:
- Hormonal changes, whether due to puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or anything else.
- The aging process. Dry skin is the most common skin type once people reach a certain age.
- Environmental factors, such as humidity, UV exposure, and climate.
- Lifestyle habits. Everything from diet to stress can impact your skin.
This is why it’s so important to regularly reassess your skin type. Make sure that you always have an updated and accurate idea of what your skin type is. This will enable you to tailor your skincare routine to ensure that you’re giving your skin type all that it needs.
5) Keep Your Skincare Products Away From Your Brows
Struggling with sparse eyebrows? The next of our skin care secrets could change that…
It’s very common for people to slather their skincare products all over their faces, not paying attention to whether or not those products end up in their eyebrows. After all, this doesn’t really seem like a big deal!
However, according to brow experts, this commonly leads to a number of different problems. The way in which those products will clog your hair follicles will inhibit hair growth while promoting shedding. Those products can also cause breakouts, as well as brow dandruff.
To prevent this, try your best to keep your skincare products away from your brows, with the exception of your cleanser. Use a moisturizing cleanser on your brows each day to get rid of any product buildup. You could also try using a small amount of shampoo and conditioner, but be careful not to get those products on your face.
6) Double or Triple Moisturizing Can Help With the Feeling of Dehydration
While double cleansing used to be one of the best skin care secrets to share, it’s no longer quite so secret! The concept has now gone mainstream due to how beneficial it can be. Double moisturizing, however? Not quite so common, with this being a technique that many have never tried.
Why double moisturize? To create additional layers of moisture on your skin, which can help with dehydration. People with severely dehydrated skin sometimes even triple moisturize!
The key to getting this right is to layer your moisturizers correctly. Just like when it comes to layering your other skincare products, start with the lightest moisturizer and work your way up to the thickest. The Lionesse Golden Sapphire Cream would be a great one to start with, followed by the slightly richer Black Onyx Cream.
7) Sunscreen Needs to Be Worn Even When You’re Staying Indoors
It’s no secret that sunscreen is a must whenever you’re spending time outdoors, no matter the time of year. You really don’t want to be dealing with the damage that UV rays can, and will, cause!
However, many don’t realize that they need to keep their skin protected with SPF when they’re indoors too. Why? Because even though glass blocks UVB rays, UVA rays still penetrate through. This means that being near a window, even on a cloudy day, puts your skin at risk of sun damage. Plus, many sunscreens will also protect your skin from the appearance of other forms of light damage. Whether from your phone, your computer screen, or even fluorescent overhead lights, all of this can still contribute to skin damage.
8) Some Skincare Products Produce Visible Results Instantly
Dermatologists are always telling their clients to be patient with their skincare. It usually takes a few weeks, if not months, for skincare products to actually produce changes in the complexion.
There’s no denying the truth to this, but it’s also worth knowing that this doesn’t apply to all skincare products. Instead, there are a handful of formulas out there that can produce visible results pretty much instantly, in a very impressive way.
The Lionesse White Pearl Wrinkle Reducing Syringe is the perfect example. It’s an innovative formula that immediately smooths away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin looking firmer and crease-free. Sure, those results are temporary, but the vitamins, antioxidants, and peptides in this solution ensure that you’ll see long-lasting results if you use this product regularly. With the way in which it provides such instant gratification, this is easy!
9) A Water Filter Can Be a Big Skin Game-Changer
Last on our list of game-changing skincare secrets…let’s talk about water. This is something that your skin comes into contact with multiple times a day. While it would be nice to assume that the water running from your taps is clean and pure, this is often not the case.
In many parts of the world, water contains high levels of minerals, such as magnesium and calcium. Yes, these minerals are important for skin health, but the amount that accumulates on the skin due to exposure to hard water can lead to a variety of problems. From dryness and irritation to acne and eczema, preventing your skin from coming into contact with hard water could really transform your complexion.
How can you do this? With a water filter. They’re inexpensive, easy to install, and will remove minerals from water before it hits your skin. Softening water in this way will leave your skin barrier feeling healthier, your pores feeling clearer, and your skin looking more refreshed than it has in a while.
