Beauty and self-care: how to organise your skincare routine?
Keep your skin healthy and looking good with essential Steps.
If your first experience with skincare was a thousand-step routine, you should know that
skincare can be much simpler than you think. What's more, you can create your own skincare
ritual in just a few steps using more functional products.
Quantity vs. quality
Dedicating a few precious minutes a day to skin care can be beneficial for your physical and
emotional well-being. That's why this time should be based on choices that make sense and
not a compulsory sequence of steps. Skinimalism is a concept that advocates just that: simpler
processes, but with quality, efficient products, and natural, healthy formulations.
Those who adopt this concept have simplicity as their motto. Selecting a few good products
allows you to better understand your skin's reactions to each one and know what is
worthwhile. Consequently, this is a path to more conscious consumption, saving one of the
most precious resources in our daily lives: time.
Choose what makes sense
It's obvious that in skinimalism, the products chosen are of total importance to the process
and the results. That's why knowing the ingredients, the production process and the
technology used in each of them provides more assertive choices.
Amakos products meets your needs very well. Made up of natural and non-toxic Amazonian
ingredients, ingredients such as Copaiba resin oil, Dragon's Blood resin oil and Khai oil, which
have been used for thousands of years, combined with biotechnology, bring faster and more
effective results.
The sensory effects are remarkable: from softness to hydration, firmness, and luminosity. This
external perception reflects the treatment in the skin tissues, which increase the production of
collagen and elastin, while decreasing the production of free radicals.
Steps for a simple and functional skincare
A few daily steps are all you need to ensure your skin stays looking good and healthy. By
knowing the importance of all of them, you can create your own minimalist and functional
skincare routine. Check out the tips!
Cleansing
The skincare routine always begins with cleansing the skin. This is an essential step to prepare
the skin and open the pores to receive the active ingredients of the products that follow.
Cleansing ensures that there is no build-up of dirt - the cause of blockages and acne.
The active ingredient in the Amakos cleansing foam is Copaíba, popularly known as the
"antibiotic of the forest" or the "miracle tree", because it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory
and healing properties. It has multiple effects on the skin due to the copalic acid present in its
composition.
Treatment
Skin treatment is individual; thus it depends on the aspect of the skin to be improved, be it fine
lines, firmness, luminosity, among others. Amakos has serums aimed at all these functions.
While the Copaíba serum is a super moisturiser that gives the skin the ability to reflect light,
the Dragon's Blood serum reduces wrinkles and sagging and the Kahai serum regenerates and
brings vitality.
Dragon's Blood is characterised by proanthocyanidin, a component that has antioxidant
capacity and fights free radicals even more effectively than vitamin E. Kahai on the other hand,
has regenerative properties due to its retinol-like properties and the mimicking of the natural
squalane produced by our skin, which improves cell function.
Moisturising
Moisturises the skin should influence the visible aspects, giving the outer layer, as well as the
more structural layers, a better appearance. This is the process of replacing or retaining water
molecules in the dermis and epidermis, the most superficial layers of the skin, and can be done
with creams, gels, and lotions.
Even oily skin needs moisturising - but in this case, it's better to choose products that are
lighter and absorb more quickly. Dryer skin can absorb denser creams and oils. Amakos has
facial creams and body lotions that, besides moisturising, promote therapeutic effects through
the essential oils used in its formulas.
Sporadic skincare
There are some procedures that can be done sporadically to improve aspects of the skin and
contribute to daily skincare. The use of masks, for example, has the function of regenerate the
skin after atypical days (with excessive use of make-up, for example) or to promote extra
hydration.
Exfoliation, on the other hand, can be carried out once a week, depending on your skin type -
for more sensitive skin, the recommendation is less frequent. With products containing
abrasive substances, the most superficial skin cells are removed to make way for younger
tissue. As a result, the tissue remains softer and ready to be moisturised.
Doing good
Skincare can be a time to do good not only for yourself but also for the world. Therefore, being
aware of the entire production chain of the products used in the process makes perfect sense.
Brands also have a role to play, they must be transparent about their production processes,
from the extraction of raw materials to the results.
Choosing products made with ingredients free from parabens, triethanolamine, silicones,
colourants, and petrochemical derivatives, with sustainable management and developed
without animal cruelty is a way of looking at your processes in a broader way. After all, taking
care of the planet also means taking care of yourself on a physical, emotional, and social level.
How's that?
