Skincare Goals and How to Get There

Achieve the skin of your dreams with these skincare tips

We deserve it. Each of us has a right to our best skin. Below is a curated list of worthy goals with steps to help you realize your most amazing skin. With the right tools, you will look flawless. 

Aging skin is exquisite, and it deserves perfect care. To begin, remember to always use SPF protection when outdoors, drink plenty of water and limit caffeine and alcohol, get plenty of sleep and regular exercise, and eat a healthy diet.

Then, tailor your skincare toward your preferred goal.

Goal: Tighter Skin

Show off your beautiful bone structure by using skin tightening methods like facial massage, jade and quartz rollers, microcurrent devices, sculpting bars, and gua sha tools, which promote lymph drainage and blood circulation and decrease puffiness. Find your favorite and add it to your a.m. or p.m. skincare regime.

Include your neck and chest areas as well as the face. Neocutis NEO Firm Neck & Décolleté Tightening Cream is made just for those oft-forgotten areas, promoting collagen and elastin restoration with peptides and root extracts.

Goal: Skin that Glows

Glowing skin is free of blemishes and discolorations. We can’t stress enough the importance of using SPF protection to help maintain even skin tone. Keep skin moisturized and change your regimens with the seasons, upping hydration in colder months.

Quality skincare has the advantage of extremozymes in your products that amplify results. For glowing skin, especially concentrated alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), retinoids, vitamin C, and other elements found in quality products have greater value and efficacy than drug and beauty store brands.

Goal: Fewer Wrinkles

Skin hydration staves off lines and wrinkles, so go for moisturizers and oils with rich ingredients that actually work. Avoid stress when at all possible (we know it’s hard to do—but your skin and overall health will thank you for it) and don’t smoke!

Since the eye area can be especially prone to developing lines and wrinkles, it’s essential to include eye cream and treatments in your routine both morning and night. One of our favorites is Obagi ELASTiderm Eye Cream for rejuvenating and smoothing the area’s delicate skin.

Goal: Eliminate Dry Skin

We’ve talked about keeping your skincare routines updated with the changing months—cold months equal less humidity in the air, drying out your skin. So, use a humidifier and drink plenty of water. 

What is the best skincare for dry skin? Oil-based, cream, and milky cleansers and serums with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or vitamin E that may be layered with other treatments will also boost skin hydration. For nighttime, switching to a rich moisturizer will help you achieve baby-soft skin in the morning.

Goal: Less Oily Skin

We love dewy skin, but if your oil glands work overtime to deliver an unhealthy-looking sheen, it’s time to revamp your skincare.

For oil-prone skin, use a gentle cleanser and toner twice daily and after workouts. The best products for oily skin are oil-free and non-comedogenic to help keep pores unclogged. Blotting papers are ideal for oil absorption during the day. And never skip your moisturizer—this can cause glands to overcompensate and make your skin even oiler. If you’re looking to make a fresh start, a line like Obagi Nu-Derm Starter System Normal to Oily is targeted to dramatically change the look of oily skin while improving signs of aging.

Goal: Less Acne

See above. Oily skin increases the development of acne. Use products with ingredients like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to treat and manage acne. A complete product line like Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. System will work to cleanse, treat, and moisturize while keeping acne at bay and creating a fresh complexion.
