Three Most Important Aspects of Daily Skincare: UV Protection, Skin Hydration, & Skin Cleansing

Three Products For Youthful & Healthy-Looking Skin: Sunscreen, Moisturizer, & Cleanser

UV Protection | Sunscreen

Excessive UV exposure may lead to skin cancer. Wear protective gear and sunscreen when you are doing any outdoor activities. SPF value is an indicator of UVB protection. At a value of SPF 30, a sunscreen can provide over 96% UVB protection. Therefore, SPF 100 may sound like it offers much more protection than SPF 30. However, it simply is not the case.

An effective sunscreen provides UV protection, more specifically, broad-spectrum protection. Only natural mineral (ZnO is a better choice) based sunscreens will achieve this. More scientific studies have shown that wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation are directly connected with UV ray damages. Wearing sunscreen should be an essential part of one’s daily skincare routine. Selecting an effective sunscreen that is most suitable for your skin may take more work than you anticipate. Read through our blog to help you to make the right choice.

Skin Hydration | Moisturizer

All skin types (not just dry skin) need skin hydration. An effective moisturizer should hydrate the skin by replenishing water to the skin. There are moisturizers that appear to be "thick creams", but this term does not translate to effectiveness. A thick cream can be greasy and clog your pores. Thick creams with petrolatum may be contaminated with health-concerning chemicals as well.

A good moisturizer should be petrolatum-free and can replenish water to your skin while keeping it supple. A simple test is to apply a thin layer of moisturizer on a small area of the face. If in an hour or so, you feel that there is nothing there, it's probably not a good moisturizer!

An excellent moisturizer may do more than hydrating your skin. It may also contain ingredients that help to combat UV-related damages. Both vitamin C and vitamin E have been shown to repair UV damages to the skin cells.

  • An effective moisturizer like Michaderm's night moisturizer is capable of holding water in place for more than 24 hours. It comes from the unique design of its formula. This product is so intensively moisturizing, yet does not feel heavy, and it won't clog pores.

  • LEMYKA therapy moisturizers, such as our healing lotion, hydrating cream, and calming cream, keep the skin hydrated for long periods of time based on our advanced formula.

Skin Cleansing | Cleanser

A cleanser should remove dirt, extra grease, bacteria, and dead skin cells, but not an excessive amount of natural lipids that are a crucial part of the skin barrier. A harsh cleanser may lead to dry, dull-looking skin, or worse, it may even cause flaking, itching, and irritation. It is best to go with a hypoallergenic cleanser.

Besides the three key factors mentioned above, certain nutrients add benefits to keep skin healthy. For example, vitamin C, E, B complex, A & K, minerals such as selenium, copper, zinc, and potent antioxidants from plants may help further in combating UV damages and maintaining skin moisture.

Even if you do not have any skin conditions, a simple-yet-effective skincare routine will keep your skin smooth and healthy.
