How to Maximize the Effectiveness of Your Topical Skincare Routine

As we age, our skin inevitably goes through changes alongside the rest of our bodies. While the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dryness and the gradual loss of elasticity is perfectly normal, it’s also perfectly normal to admit that embracing these changes can take time and often leaves us feeling a little less confident. Thankfully, modern skincare has many different options when it comes to delaying the signs of aging and increasing your skin health to maintain youthful, radiant skin.


Getting these options to work effectively, however, comes down to having a good understanding of how to properly use skincare and what kinds of supplementary products, like Bloo Pharmapeutica’s Aqua Miraculorum, the Water of Miracles, can boost overall skin health for the best results.


Below, we’ll highlight some of the best ways to make the most out of your skincare routine. Read on to learn more!


Always Start with Clean, Prepped Skin


One of the most important steps in any skincare routine is cleansing. Cleansing creates a “clean slate” for products and removes any dirt, oil, and makeup that have accumulated on the skin’s surface. Not only do these impurities block and clog pores, they also prevent the effective absorption of many of the active ingredients in skincare products.


Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type and follow up with a toner to remove any remaining residue and balance the skin’s pH, creating the perfect base for your products to work as intended. 



Exfoliate Regularly for Better Absorption


Just like you want to clean external materials off your skin before you apply products, you’ll also want to routinely exfoliate to remove dead skin cells that can block product penetration. One of the most common mistakes people make is over-exfoliating, which is a recipe for irritation and even allergic reactions. Aim to exfoliate once or twice a week with a soft exfoliant to remove dead skin and create a smooth surface. 



Apply Products in the Right Order


Did you know that even the best products out there won’t work as effectively if you don’t apply them in the right order? If you mis-layer certain treatments, you may accidentally reduce the ability of certain serums and moisturizers to actively penetrate the skin and perform as intended. To avoid this, start with serums or treatments, followed by your moisturizer, and lastly, any oils you use. 


It’s also worth noting that, when it comes to skincare, more isn’t always best; the main priority is ensuring that the products you use are right for your skin type, effective, and designed to address genuine concerns rather than provide a simple cosmetic/aesthetic “fix”. In short, don’t let fancy brands fool you; invest in skincare that you know you can trust to perform, regardless of the cost (expensive doesn’t always mean better!) and brand recognition.



Be Consistent with Your Routine


Skincare isn’t a one-time fix, and much like any health and wellness effort, it’s important to be consistent with your routine to achieve lasting results. Apply your topical treatments daily, and remember that it can take several weeks of regular use before the full benefits become visible. It’s also important to remember that nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle choice effect skin health, and neglecting your health is something that even the best products can’t cover up. 


Don’t Forget Sun Protection


Finally, no anti-aging routine is complete without sun protection. UV rays are one of the primary causes of premature aging, leading to wrinkles, dark spots, sagging skin and a higher risk for diseases like skin cancer. For the best results and optimal protection, it’s crucial to integrate sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 or higher into your routine and apply it daily, even during cloudy days and colder months.
