Sonthipanya sat down with Rachel Erin McKeighan of AZFoothills.com, to give her tips and tricks that will benefit your skincare routine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where should you splurge, and where can you save in your skincare routine?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to save money, you can opt for either a Cetaphil or Cerave gentle cleanser, especially if you have sensitive skin. In terms of other products and serums, it is better to use professional products because they are chosen for your specific skin type, have been tested, and will be more effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it might seem pricey at first, using the right products means that you will be using less product, and you will not be spending time and money searching for the products that work for you. In the long run, finding the right product pays off for your skin and your wallet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your “holy grail” product?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The Skinmedica HA5 serum. It contains five types of hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated. It gives you that smooth and glowy look even in the Arizona heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the biggest mistake that someone can make in their skincare routine?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Over exfoliating. This causes dryness and irritation for active acne. The increased skin peeling clogs pores. Another big mistake is not hydrating enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you combat “maskne” skin?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Hydro facials are great to combat the imperfections caused by wearing a mask all day. Used monthly, these bring hydration back to the skin while also properly exfoliating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you get to know your skin?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The best thing that you can do is to go see a professional. We offer free consultations and even virtual consultations at Derma Health. In general, a lot of people have dehydrated skin. It is important to have a good skincare routine which includes washing your face twice a day and using both morning and night serums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does everyone need in their skincare routine?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Hydrating serum. Hyaluronic acid is used to boost hydration, and it can even be found in over-the-counter brands. Even if your skin is oily, you need hydration. Also, everyone should exfoliate 1-2 times a week with a scrub. Glycolic acid is a great ingredient to look for in these scrubs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
