Skincare is a great passion of mine. It has helped both my skin and my mind.

For many people, skincare can be seen as a chore and might be something that is skipped over. But for me, skincare is more than something that needs to be done, it is a tool that helps me to improve my life.

In this post I am going to highlight six reasons why I love skincare and why I’m passionate about it. I hope that they help you to foster a love for it, too!

1. Tackling current skin issues

This is the most basic and immediate benefit of skincare. Choosing the correct skincare products can give you relief from your current skin care issues and visibly improve your skin.

Whether that is acne or dullness, skincare products can help to heal your skin and actively prevent your skin issues from returning.

(For more on addressing skin issues, see our simple skincare routine post, and our custom routines for dry skin, oily skin, and combination skin.)

2. Skin preservation

While healing current skin issues is important, many products also help to retain your skin’s state and prevent the long term effects of your skin issues.

You can, of course, use anti-aging products to facilitate the preservation of your skin but many other types of products indirectly support the preservation of your skin.

For instance, by using anti-acne products, you are reducing the chances of long term scarring. Sunscreen prevents deep skin damage that will manifest as dark patches later in life. And using a good cleanser and removing all of your makeup at night will prevent your skin from clogging and allow the skin to heal correctly.

3. Routine

I enjoy a good routine in life; a routine helps me mentally prepare for what is to come.
