The Purpose of Skincare 101

Hello Queens,

I requested the opportunity to contribute to the new skincare section of FDS Level Up sections of Wix because of my previous experience with skincare.

I worked in a specialized section of skincare retail in my college years and hoped to share my earned wisdom.

In essence, skincare done correctly is for the purpose of ensuring that there is a sound foundational surface for your skin.

Mainly, to ensure there is a uniform surface to ensure optimum skin elasticity and resiliency against the strain presented by external environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation & internal factors like resource depletion (i.e. Dehydration and lack of vitamins and minerals).

This differs vastly from the intention behind makeup, which at best, I have seen used to express the full spectrum of the human artistic instinct, and at least best, to conceal structural flaws in the skin like acne, rosacea, etc. (I exempt wine stain and eczema sufferers from this scrutiny; not easy conditions to cope with.)

Skincare will help you level up like few other things can since you also have fewer chances of infection if you do not have micro tears in the skin or more visible wounds.

it should also be noted that with the advancements that have enabled human societies to flourish, most of the skin issues that are commonly attributed to aging are in fact dehydration and nutrient deprivation. Your internal organs require fixed quantities of water and nutrients to execute their responsibilities and will hoard them away from your skin to ensure you can function. This is why your skin may not be happy with you.

with a stable skincare routine done right, you won’t need make up at all. This will save you so much time and money, which can then be put forward into leveling up in other areas like one’s career.

Thank you for your consideration.
