What are the bare essentials
for a morning skincare routine? I.e. is it an SPF/antioxidant serum/cleanse?
Dr. Maryam Zamani, founder of MZ Skin,
recommends a clean face as an essential for our skin to absorb whatever
ingredients we place on top. This may be a quick cleanse followed by
skincare, which is dependent on your skin type and quality. She also
recommends using an antioxidant serum, like a vitamin C (MZSkin Brighten & Perfect with 10% Vitamin C is ideal) ,followed by a
moisturizer with SPF (and eye cream if you can remember the last step!). If you
do not have skincare with SPF 30+ it is recommended to add a minimum of SPF 30
on top.
How can you maximise the
benefits of your skincare in a shorter amount of time?
Skincare has become intelligently
formulated so you can layer individual products, or you can use products that
are multifunctional. The best benefit to your skin is if you follow an effective
routine and stick to it.
Do moisturisers that contain
SPF really work? If so, why?
Yes, they do but it depends on the SPF and
the type of protection it gives you. The one pitfall with moisturisers with SPF
and SPF in general is that people often do not apply enough. Another pitfall is
that many also think that all SPF is the same. It is essential to be
wearing a minimum of SPF 30. MZ
Skin Hydrate & Nourish is an excellent moisturiser that contains
encapsulated Retinol and SPF 30.
What should we look to do long
term? Where should we spend our time on a monthly basis if our skin is mostly
average (nothing extreme going on)? I.e. is it a good facial?
Healthy skin is integral to not needing to
spend so much time on makeup in the morning. If you have a good skincare
regimen with active ingredients, investing in your products and some at home
treatments can optimize your outcome. There is skin care for all skin types and
all price ranges. Facials are a nice way to cleanse the skin but if your home
routine is good enough, you should not need to have a facial for
instance. Dr. Maryam Zamani recommends doing in office treatments that
help improve collagen production and target specific issues like pigmentation,
broken capillaries or skin irregularities. This is why it is important to have
a program that is tailored to your skin type.
If you’re doing less in the
morning, should you spend more time in the evening cleansing and treating your skin?
It is always a balance for the skin and is
not just dependent on skincare routine - sleep, exercise, diet, and
environmental factors are equally as important. Taking time for your skin
helps us slow down a bit and can also be therapeutic in that sense as
well. Most importantly is to choose skincare that is best suited for your
skin and if you do not know what to do, seeking advice from a trusted doctor is
a first step.
Why should a reader avoid using
a face wipe in the morning?
Dr. Maryam Zamani says that wipes should be
avoided at all costs unless you really are not able to wash your face or have
access. Wipes just move whatever is sitting on the face around and can
cause further irritation to the skin.
