Skincare Tools You Didn’t Know You Needed

There is nothing better than taking those 15 minutes before bed to do your skincare routine. But did you know there could be some crucial tools and products you might be missing? Well, look no further because in this article you find out about all of the skincare tools you didn’t know you needed.

Makeup Dissolving Oil

For all of my ladies that wear makeup, we all know the number one rule is to NEVER fall asleep with your makeup on. Leaving makeup on your skin overnight, on top of many other things, can cause fine lines and wrinkles and can also clog your pores and end up attracting bacteria that could cause acne. And we all know the key to amazing makeup is healthy skin. So, a makeup dissolving oil is an amazing product that breaks down the makeup on your face making it easier to remove all traces of makeup before you go in with a makeup wipe.

This also helps so that you don’t have to rub our face super hard with a makeup wipe which could cause irritation. One recommendation is the Skinny and CO Rejuvenating Facial Oil Makeup Remover. This is a combination of oils that are amazing for your skin and will gently remove your makeup. But is you want a more affordable alternative all-natural coconut oil will do the trick! I’d recommend that the coconut oil be cold-pressed and unrefined; this pretty much means that it is in its most natural state possible.

Facial Cleansing Brush

There’s no doubt that cleansing your face is the most important part of a skincare routine. On top of having a good cleanser that works well with your skin type, a facial cleansing brush can give you a deeper and more effective clean as opposed to using your hands. Cleansing brushes get deeper into your skin allowing you to clear out more of the dirt, makeup, etc. that clog your pores and could cause breakouts. They also act as a light exfoliator. It is recommended to use an antibacterial brush head, these are usually silicone.

Antibacterial brush heads will keep away any dirt and bacteria that could be on the brush which could transfer to your face. While these tools are very beneficial it is important to take a few things into consideration when making the switch to facial brushes. You must first consider your skin type. For dry skin, if you plan to use facial brushes consider how often you will use them because you don’t want to dry out your skin. For normal to oily skin, you can probably use it more often. Also, consider your skin sensitivity. The more sensitive your skin is the softer your brush should be. As with all skincare products use products that cater to your skin!

Chemical Exfoliator

If you want the secret to glowing soft skin, it’s a good chemical exfoliator. Adding a chemical exfoliator to your skincare routine not only is great for brightening your skin but they also help to smooth out the texture of your skin leaving it soft and supple. Chemical exfoliators are arguably preferred ver physical exfoliators because the grainy texture of physical exfoliators can be scratchy and could actually harm your skin more than help it. Chemical exfoliators, on the other hand, dissolve dead skin cells making them a more gentle alternative.

They are able to do this because these products contain the acids AHA which exfoliates and BHA which is anti-inflammatory and helps to clear your skin. You can purchase these according to your individual skin type and what your skin needs. Chemical exfoliators come is a range from mild to intense to suit your personal skincare needs. So if this was a step you’ve been skipping you should definitely add it to your skincare routine.

Eye Cream

Now, we all know how important a good moisturizer is in a skincare routine, but one thing that is often overlooked is eye cream. The skin surrounding your eyes is the most sensitive skin on your face and because of that, it requires a bit more attention. Unlike the rest of your face, the skin around your eyes has a fewer amount of oil glands, meaning that it is harder to keep that skin from drying out. If you have watery or itchy eyes, like myself, and tend to rub or touch your face because of it you can understand the feeling of dry under-eyes.

Eye Creams help to add that extra boost of moisture to protects that delicate skin. Eye creams help to combat fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. These creams come in a range of consistencies and ingredients to suit different types of skin, so if you struggle with discoloration, fine lines, or puffy eyes there are specific eye creams that you can use. Eye creams also can make for smooth makeup application.

Jade Facial Roller

Recently, a huge beauty trend has been facial rollers. at first, I was skeptical about this trend because the thought of rolling my face right after rolling out of bed just seemed ridiculous. But as it turns out face rollers are a definite staple skincare product. Facial rollers which are best used when kept cold, don’t only act as a soothing facial massage and detox but are also the secret to the “glass skin” look.

The cold stone on your face further pushes all of the good serums and moisturizers into your skin while also closing your pores. This helps make your skin look soft and smooth. This roller also aids in stimulating circulation in your face which allows your muscles to relax. Another tip when using a facial roller is to roll it from the center of your face outward this will act as a lifting or toning technique that combats wrinkles. So if you have been looking for that one little thing to take your skincare routine to the next level it just my be a jade roller.
