Kelly Foster Skin Care

🧼 Wash your face before bed, is some pretty great advice! A contributor to aging is pollutants, and cleansing washes away dirt, makeup and helps to exfoliate your skin and get rid of dead skin cells.
⠀
💦 Over-washing! You CAN over wash your face. If your skin feels dry, irritated, or looking red, skip the A.M face wash and make sure the cleansers you are using are not too harsh for your skin.
⠀
⏰ Time! One of the biggest mistakes we see is not giving a skincare routine to work. When you incorporate a new product or routine, plan on giving your skin about 6 weeks to evaluate for results. If your skin is reacting to the product and showing signs of irritation, step back and assess if your skin is purging or reacting.
⠀
🧪 DO treat skin by concern, not by product or ingredient. Skincare product FOMO is real. And skincare companies know this! So, we get sucked into buying another product but using products without an intention leads to an empty wallet and lackluster results. Instead, pick a concern, like sun-damage, acne/pores, skin barrier repair, and use products with those ingredients for that intended use.
⠀
☀️ SPF, SPF, SPF. We know the drill, but why don't we follow through with skin protection? Sunscreen is indeed practical and boring, but this one step will prevent pretty much every skincare concern you could have. It's easier to prevent than correct! Apply the SPF, your future self, with thank you! P.S. It's never too late to start!
⠀
🪥 DIY skincare is generally a bad idea! Toothpaste has a reputation as an acne spot treatment, which had some truth, A LONG TIME AGO, from an ingredient in the toothpaste of yesteryear called triclosan. The FDA banned this when it to showed it disrupted the thyroid. You may find the toothpaste drying to the pimple; but it’s only affecting the top layers of skin, pand does nothing to address the cause. Instead, choose products with, Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, and Benzoyl Peroxide.
⠀
✅ We're not sure when it happened, but skincare routines have become increasingly more complicated. The truth is, these complicated routines are neither good for your skin or sustainable. Stick with: WASH, TREAT, HYDRATE, SPF.

It’s understandable, we all want instant gratification when it comes to skincare. Unfortunately, there are no overnight miracles, but there are some rules to follow! Do you have any skin care rules?

Our best selling serum evens out skin tone and minimizes the look of pores and reduces fine lines

Niacinamide or Vitamin B3 is crucial to over 40 biochemical reactions that are necessary for energy, repair and the overall health of our cells in our body including our skin. As we age the coenzymes needed for our cellular health decrease. Our skin’s over-all health continues to decline as our bodies ability to neutralize free radicals is reduced from not enough of these coenzymes. By replenishing our skin with Niacinamide we are giving a boost to coenzymes needed for youthful looking skin and overall skin health!

Do you need to wash your face everyday?
⠀
The short answer is yes, but how you wash your face and with what products will vary depending on your skin type.
⠀
Here a few tips for all skin types:
⠀
💦Wash your face with Luke-warm water, never hot!
⠀
💦Don’t scrub, just use your hands rather than scrubbing tools or washcloths
⠀
💦Pat your face dry rather than rubbing
⠀
➡️If your skin is normal and relatively blemish free, you can easily get away with using a gentle cleanser. If your skin is looking a little dull, you may want to use a cleaner with Glycolic and or Salicylic Acid in it which will help to exfoliate your skin. Many dermatologists recommend that you stay clear of exfoliating tools and just use your hands. Even using a washcloth can be irritating to the skin. However, using an exfoliating tool can be done, just be sure to use it sparingly.
⠀
➡️If your skin is dry, its more important to wash your face in the evening and just simply splash some water on your face in the morning. This will help preserve the oils in your skin from sleeping. You may also want to avoid cleansers with AHA's and BHA’s as this can cause additional dryness.
⠀
➡️If your skin is acne prone, it is VERY important to wash your face every day, and if you skin tolerates it, twice a day. Be sure to watch for signs of irritation or dryness. Washing your face helps keep your skin clear of impurities. Using a cleanser with Glycolic and Salicylic Acid will help to clear and break up the oil in your pores.
⠀
Happy washing!
