Many of us adhere to a daily hygiene routine that consists of several steps. For me, without the right skin care products I would never be able to fully complete my daily morning rituals. There are certain skin care products that I like to use after I get out of the shower in the morning. Following using a non-scented and non-alcoholic face and body wash while in the shower, I follow up with hydrating skin care products that are easily massaged into the facial areas to keep the skin glowing and radiant. I also make sure that I apply an SPF 30 or higher rated sunscreen before I head out for the day to protect my skin from harmful UV rays that the sun can omit. One thing that I always look out for with skin care products such as face washes, is salicylic acid – this ingredient helps to stave of bacteria in my skin that could otherwise cause an infection in the skin pores leading to acne or ingrown hairs. Following a morning shave, I steer clear of aftershaves that have fillers and ingredients like laurel sulfate (a foaming agent common in many aftershaves) because these ingredients can really dry out your skin. I can’t imagine an AM routine that was void of the skin care products that I have grown to rely upon so much over the years.
