Beautiful and healthy skin is created by small everyday habits. Expensive products alone are not enough if the basic routine is not in order. That is why we compiled Margaret Beauty Care's cosmetologists' best skincare tips for home – clearly, practically, and suitably for the Finnish seasons.
Good home care supports the facial treatments done by a professional. If you need a personal assessment of your skin, you can also explore our guide to facials in Tampere or book an appointment directly for our facial services in Tampere.
1. Start skincare with cleansing
Cleansing is the foundation of everything. Sebum, dust, makeup, sunscreen, and air pollutants accumulate on the skin during the day. If they are not removed properly, the skin can become clogged and look dull.
- Always cleanse your face in the evening, even if you do not wear makeup.
- In the morning, a light cleanse is enough for many.
- Choose a cleanser based on your skin type, not just a trend.
2. Moisturizing is for all skin types
One common mistake is to think that oily skin does not need moisture. In reality, oily skin can also be dehydrated on the surface. When the skin becomes dry, it may produce more sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture.
Dry skin needs a richer cream, while a lighter gel-like texture suits oily skin. For sensitive skin, you should choose a fragrance-free and soothing product.
3. Sunscreen is the best anti-aging product
SPF is not just for the summer. UV radiation stresses the skin even on cloudy days and accelerates the signs of aging. Regular sunscreen helps prevent pigmentation changes, dryness, and premature wrinkles.
- Use at least an SPF 30 protection for daily use.
- Add more protection in the summer and when spending time outdoors.
- Remember your neck and décolleté as well.
4. Home care according to skin type
Dry skin
Dry skin needs moisturizing and protective products. Avoid overly stripping cleansers and add a hydrating serum to your routine.
Oily and blemish-prone skin
Lightweight products, regular cleansing, and moderate exfoliation help keep pores cleaner. However, do not dry out the skin too much.
Sensitive skin
Keep your routine simple. Use fragrance-free products and avoid combining multiple active ingredients at the same time.
Combination skin
Combination skin may need different products for different areas of the face. A lighter texture may suit the T-zone, while a more moisturizing cream works for the cheeks.
5. Exfoliation brightens, but too much irritates
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and makes the skin look brighter. However, excessive exfoliation can break the skin's protective barrier. For most, 1–2 times a week is enough.
If you are not sure what kind of exfoliation suits you, a cosmetologist can assess your skin during a treatment.
6. Seasons affect the skin in Finland
In winter, cold outdoor air and dry indoor air dry out the skin. In summer, the sun, sweat, and sunscreens can increase congestion. That is why the same routine does not always work all year round.
- Winter: add moisture and protective products.
- Spring: brighten the skin with a light exfoliation.
- Summer: focus on sun protection and lightweight hydration.
- Autumn: repair skin dried out and stressed by the summer.
7. Professional facials complement home care
Home care keeps the skin in condition in everyday life, but a facial done by a professional can cleanse, moisturize, and soothe the skin more deeply. We also recommend reading our article how often should you get a facial.
