Do you have any skin imbalances i.e. dryness, too much sebum, tendencies for wrinkles, breakouts or broken capillaries? Does your skin sometimes react to skincare products? Have you ever got an allergic reaction from skincare products? If the answer is yes then your skin may be sensitive, and I don’t mean it as a ‘skin type’. I mean that the above skin problems may be caused by your skin reacting to the beauty products you are using, and it isn’t specific just to Irish skin. Nowadays many people struggle with some kind of skin concerns and a few years ago I was one of them. Below is an overview of how I fixed my problematic skin, stopped wasting money on unnecessary skincare products and cut my skincare routine time.
How I fixed my problem skin
Some people seem to be blessed with an angelic skin no matter what they do. I've always struggled with skin problems: dry patches in places, too much sebum on T-zone, tendency for breakouts, wrinkles and broken capillaries. These are common concerns with Irish skin too.
The skincare information out there is confusing and with so many different skincare products being advertised, it’s very overwhelming. Advertisers brainwash us with science jargon and try to make us believe that we need a complicated skincare routine using endless lists of skincare products formulated in science labs with synthetic chemicals that we can’t even pronounce. We end up adding even more unnecessary products to our already long skincare routine, wasting time and money.
Nothing really fixed my problematic skin, no matter how much I paid for skincare products and no matter how rigorous of skincare regime I followed in the hope it would make my skin look good. I then realised that my skin problems were caused by my skin reacting to the skincare products I was using.
Once I started formulating my own 100% natural skincare my skin has completely settled and restored itself. Any stress or slips from a balanced diet can still affect it but it's fine now and easily brought back to its natural health.
Better skin with less effort and less waste - back to basics
Contrary to the current skincare trend I believe there are no skin types, there are only skin concerns. And I believe they can all be addressed with just a few natural skincare products that are completely undiluted with unnecessary junk and containing only the finest natural ingredients that will feed your skin and help restore its natural balance.
In the craziness of our already busy and overloaded life my mission is to simplify. So instead of having many skincare products loaded with synthetics, I’d rather have the core essentials that contain the most concentrated pure ingredients that really work. So even if you struggle for time you can still have an all natural, simple but effective skincare routine that is easy, transparent and works in harmony with your skin. You can care for your skin with less effort and fewer steps involved.
3 step skincare routine and 3 essential skincare products
How I use Sana Naturals face care trio:
If you wear makeup start with cleansing your face ideally with an oil based cleanser. On the rare occasions I wear makeup I use Sana Naturals Serum as a cleanser.
- Once your face is clean start with the Facial Wash. Make a paste by mixing the powder with the Facial Toner or water and massage onto your face. It’ll gently exfoliate, soothe & soften your skin. I leave the paste on for 15 min to dry twice per week to further purify. Rinse off and pat dry.
- Follow with the refreshing Facial Toner that will hydrate, clarify and prep the skin for the next step
- When your skin is still damp from the toner massage a few drops of the Vitamin C Serum and you’re done!
These are my 3 essential skincare products that I always use. Depending on your skin’s unique requirements you may want to apply another natural moisturiser, whatever works for you and your skin. As every complexion is different and has individual needs you can mix all the products with your other favourites if you wish.
