Looking for a way to improve your skincare efforts without having to spend too much extra time or money on your skin?
Avinichi’s skincare hacks are what you need! Read on as we share 10 game-changing skincare hacks that you’ll soon come to rely on each and every day.
1) Cleanse Your Skin After Washing Your Hair
Usually, when people step into the shower, the first thing that they do is reach for their facial cleanser. However, if you plan on washing your hair too, don’t be too hasty in cleaning your face.
Instead, you should wait until after you’ve finished washing and conditioning your locks. Why? Because your shampoo and conditioner will only end up running down onto your skin, bringing with them a whole host of drying and pore-clogging ingredients that your skin won’t like. Save your face and body cleansers for after your hair has been dealt with and you’ll be able to clear all of that hair product residue away rather than allowing it to linger on your skin.
If your skin is already oily and acne-prone, this is one of the most important skincare hacks to try. You’ll soon notice a decrease in the appearance of breakouts, both on your face and your body, giving you a much healthier complexion to boot!
2) Apply a Vitamin C Serum Under Your Sunscreen
When it comes to keeping your skin looking smooth, bright, and youthful, sunscreen is everything. The sun’s UV rays are responsible for the majority of the aging-related skin issues that you’ll struggle with during the later years of your life, and a good sunscreen can help to save you from these.
However, a sunscreen doesn’t provide 100% protection. Plus, people often don’t apply enough product or don’t reapply it soon enough, meaning that there are still plenty of opportunities for free radical damage to occur.
This brings us to the next of our skincare hacks; applying a vitamin C serum under your sunscreen. Research shows that this will boost the photoprotective effects that your complexion will enjoy, especially if vitamin E is included in the mix too. Treat yourself to the Avinichi Hydrating Multifruit C-Serum and this is easy. Not only does it boast both vitamins C and E, but it’s also jam-packed with several other antioxidants.
3) Use a Clay Mask If Your Skin Needs Some Extra Exfoliation
If you have oily, acne-prone skin, you’ll be fully aware of how exfoliation can help your complexion. However, even then, you shouldn’t be exfoliating more than three times a week. Over-exfoliation can actually make your skin even oilier and more inflamed.
What happens if all of that excess oil has built up to an unmanageable amount in between exfoliation sessions? That’s where a clay mask can help. Although clay isn’t technically an exfoliant, it does a fantastic job of soaking up excess oil and mattifying the complexion.
For even better results, bring heat into the mix. A facial steam while you have a clay mask on your face will help to relax your pores, enabling the clay to draw out more oil. Another option would be to go with a self-heating mask, like the Avinichi Phyto Remedy Thermal Mask. This clay mask creates its own heat, making it so much more effective than a regular clay mask!
4) Double Moisturizing
Many of the skincare hacks that we know and love originated in South Korea, and double moisturizing is no exception. You’ve probably heard of double cleansing – well, double moisturizing is a similar concept, except that it involves using two moisturizers instead of two cleansers.
Although this hack wouldn’t be suitable for oily skin, it can really help to improve the appearance of dry, sensitive, and mature skin. All you need to do is start with a lightweight moisturizer, such as the Mulberr-E Moisture Infusion Cream, which can be found in the Avinichi Phyto Thermal Collection. Once this has been absorbed into your skin, follow up with a slightly thicker moisturizer – one that contains more emollients. The Noni Night Repair Cream, which features a blend of shea butter and plant oils, would be a great choice!
5) Apply Your Skincare Products to Damp Skin
When it comes to skincare, hydration should always be one of your main focuses. In order to thrive, your skin cells need plenty of moisture. Thi`s is why most experts recommend hydrating your skin in multiple layers with toners, serums, and creams.
However, there’s another very easy way to give your skin an additional moisture boost, which is where the next of our skincare hacks comes in. Applying your skincare products to damp skin, rather than dry skin, ensures that all of those water molecules that are sitting on your skin’s surface are trapped beneath your products. This pushes them into your skin, preventing them from evaporating in the way that they otherwise would have done.
While you should ideally be waiting for 30 seconds or so in between product layers, try to apply your next product before your skin has completely dried out from the previous one. If you take a little too long and your previous product has disappeared, swipe on a layer of a hydrating toner, such as the Avinichi Noni Pore Purifying Toner, before continuing with your skincare routine.
6) Boost Absorption With a Dermaroller
Want your skincare routine to be more effective without having to actually change any of the products that you’re using?
This may seem like an impossible ask but, with a dermaroller, it’s surprisingly easy to do. A dermaroller is a handheld tool that features tiny needles that produce micro-punctures in your skin when they’re rolled over your skin’s surface. Apply skincare products to your face after you’ve used a dermaroller and, instead of sitting on your skin’s surface, they’ll be able to enter those channels that your dermaroller created, putting them onto a fast track to your complexion’s deeper layers.
If you’d like to give dermarolling a try, you’ll find a dermaroller in the Avinichi Mulberry Hydrating Regimen. Use it in conjunction with the other products in the collection and your skin will be glowing in no time!
7) Refrigerate Your Skincare
Most people store their skincare products at room temperature. So long as this doesn’t expose them to too much warmth, there’s nothing wrong with doing this.
However, if you’re looking for a way to enhance their effects, consider storing your products in your fridge. The cool temperatures can be extremely beneficial in a couple of ways…
Firstly, your products will feel so much more refreshing when applied to your skin. Their chilly temperature will work to lower the feeling of inflammation in your skin, in the same way that a cold compress would. This can be particularly advantageous when it comes to eye creams and serums as the cold will quickly shrink the look of puffiness.
Plus, just like when it comes to refrigerating your food so that it lasts longer, many skincare ingredients will also enjoy an extended shelf life if they’re stored in the fridge. You’ll be able to prolong their potency rather than having to deal with your skincare products becoming less effective over time.
8) Switch to Silk Pillowcases
Looking for skincare hacks that will allow you to passively improve your complexion without having to actually do much? If so, this one is perfect for you…
All you need to do is switch your regular pillowcases to silk versions. You’ll soon find that your skin looks much smoother and fresher in the mornings.
How does this work? It all comes down to friction. Whenever your face rubs against your regular pillowcase, friction is created, which encourages the onset of wrinkles while also sapping moisture from your skin. Silk, or even satin, on the other hand, won’t do this. Instead, those materials allow your skin to glide over them with minimal friction. They also don’t absorb the same amount of moisture. The end result is skin that looks dewy and crease-free when you wake up!
9) Dry Your Face With a Paper Towel
As we mentioned earlier, applying your skincare products while your skin is still damp is one of the best skincare hacks to remember. This applies after you’ve cleansed your skin too. Ideally, you should wait for your skin to partially air dry before following up with a toner.
However, if you need to manually dry your face for whatever reason after cleansing, don’t go reaching for the towel that has been hanging in your bathroom for days. The purpose of cleansing is to clear away bacteria and other impurities from your skin, but this is exactly what an unclean towel will be harboring. Rub this over your face and you’ll be transferring all of those impurities back onto your skin, leaving your complexion looking troubled in the long run.
Laundering your towels after each use can be a hassle, which is why paper towels are often a fantastic alternative. Choose paper towels that are as soft as possible, without too much texture to them. Then, simply dab your wet face with a paper towel to sop up excess moisture before disposing of that towel.
10) Less Can Be More
The last of our skincare hacks is a simple one; when it comes to your skincare routine, less can sometimes be more. It’s all too tempting to start following a 10-step skincare routine because that’s what you’ve been seeing all over your social media feeds but, at the same time, you need to make sure that a 10-step routine is what your skin actually needs.
Most of the time, this is likely to be too much for your skin. People often find that cutting back on their skincare routines brings them better results. Your skin won’t have to deal with being overloaded by so many products and you also won’t have to worry about incompatible ingredients quite as much. If your skincare routine is long and complex but hasn’t been delivering results, try stripping it down to see if that helps.
