  • Chic List: overlooking sunscreen is what’s keeping you from your best skin

    Chic List: overlooking sunscreen is what’s keeping you from your best skin

    Written by Sheli Nuñez

    I know you’ve probably heard this a thousand times, but maybe you should hear it once more. I don’t blame you, I’ve been where your are. We all know that we must protect our skin from sun damage. Sunscreen is what your skincare routine is missing. Just like you, I’ve read it, I’ve heard it and yet struggled to make it a non-negotiable in my routine.

    Maybe what you need is to see it from another perspective. If you’re fighting dark spots and hyperpigmentation, there’s something you should know. No matter what miracle product you’re investing in from a high end store, it won’t do you any good if you skip this fundamental step. Many key ingredients found in those formulas tend to react badly to sun exposure. Maybe you’ve recently started using one and only notice your skin getting darker, that’s why. 

    On the other hand, maybe you don’t have problematic skin and are just trying to keep it that way. Perhaps you’re just trying to prevent wrinkles or dark under eyes. It all circles back to sunscreen. Part of the damage caused by prolonged sun exposure is premature aging and dehydrated skin. All the benefits you’re seeking from your products are potentially being undone without you knowing. It’s not for nothing that dermatologist keep insisting that we add it to our routines. 

    Just keep in mind that whatever you’re trying to prevent can be counteracted once you step outside. Next time you find yourself buying your regular skincare products remember to add a sunscreen to the list. Better yet, do it as soon as possible. You’ll Immediately notice the difference in your skin once you do.

  • LIMPIA TU ROSTRO CORRECTAMENTE // CLEAN YOUR FACE THE CORRECT WAY

    Desde que somos pequeños se nos enseña a siempre limpiarnos el rostro. Luego en la adolescencia aprendemos que existen muchos productos para hacerlo, que no debemos acostarnos ni maquillarnos con el rostro sucio y que existen reglas y pasos a seguir para lograrlo con éxito. Pero, ¿realmente comprendemos el procedimiento? ¿Conoces los productos que necesitas para logarlo? ¿Posees estos productos? A continuación te los explicamos brevemente.

    Antes de comenzar y comprar cualquier producto de belleza, debes identificar tu tipo de piel. Los tipos de piel básicos son: piel grasa, piel combinada, piel normal, piel seca, piel sensitiva y piel acnéica. Cada piel debe tener su régimen individualizado al igual que sus productos específicos.

    El proceso de limpieza debe ser 2 veces al día, en la mañana y en la noche, al desmaquillarte.

    1. Desmaquíllate: Sea con algodones, toallas húmedas desmaquillantes o pañuelos de papel, es importante que se desmaquille el rostro antes de la limpieza. Se recomienda que se utilice un desmaquillante diluido con agua y aceite para los ojos.

    2. Limpia: El propósito de este paso es despegar el sucio del rostro. Elige un limpiador en la textura que más te agrade. Estos pueden ser encontradas de gel, líquido, en crema, en toallas húmedas o en foam. Selecciona uno adecuado para tu tipo de piel.

    3. Clarifica: En este paso eliminamos el sucio que despegamos en el paso anterior. Se utiliza un astringente y es recomendado para las pieles grasas o normales. Las pieles secas pueden omitir este paso.

    4. Humecta e hidrata: Como último paso, debes seleccionar el humectante e hidratante que vaya de acuerdo a las necesidades de tu piel. En este paso se puede utilizar más de un producto y se aplican según el nivel de emoliencia.

    Since we are little we are taught to always cleanse our faces. Then, in adolescence we learn that there are many products to do it, that we should not go to bed or put on makeup with a dirty face and that there are rules and steps to follow to achieve it successfully. But do we really understand the procedure? Do you know the products you need to get it? Do you own these products? Here we explain them briefly.

    Before starting and buying any beauty product, you must identify your skin type. The basic types of skin are: oily skin, combination skin, normal skin, dry skin, sensitive skin and acne skin. Each skin must have its individualized regime as well as its specific products.

    The cleaning process should be 2 times a day, in the morning and at night, when removing make-up.

    1. Remove the Make-up: It may be it with cottons, wet wipes or paper tissues; it is important that you remove your make-up from your face before cleaning. It is recommended that a make-up remover diluted with water and oil be used on the eyes.

    2. Clean: The purpose of this step is to remove the dirt on the face. Choose a cleaner in the texture that you like the most. These can be found in gel, liquid, cream, wet towels or foam. Select one suitable for your skin type.

    3. Clarify: In this step we eliminate the dirt that we removed in the previous step. An astringent is used and is recommended for oily or normal skin. Dry skins can skip this step.

    4. Moisturizes and hydrate: As the last step, you must select the moisturizer that meets your skin’s needs. In this step you can use more than one product and apply according to the level of emolience.
