When we are in our teens and early twenties, it can be easy to undervalue the importance of a good skincare routine. There are many excuses that we give ourselves; we’re too tired to take off our makeup, we’re too busy to exfoliate and moisturize. But it is so important to have a skincare routine in place and that we start it from an early age. What are the reasons why?

One of the many reasons why we need a skincare routine in place is for the future. We can eliminate many complaints with our skin, such as acne scarring and premature aging if we deal with our skin early on. Because it is so far in the future, many of us put it off as we can’t immediately see the damage to our skin. Not taking our makeup off one night does make us feel gross the next day. But we don’t see any effects from that immediately. But if it keeps happening night after night, it will have long-reaching effects on the condition of our skin. So we need to give our skin a break and treat it well from the outset. There is more on repairing our skin here: https://www.pevonia.co.uk/advice/repairing-skin-damage/.

Our skin is also classed as one of our body’s largest organs. It is a living and breathing thing, and we need to treat it with as much respect as we do for any of our other organs. It plays a role in protecting us from pathogens and excessive water loss. So that helps to keep us well and healthy. Our skin also helps us to regulate our temperature, which is never more important in peak seasons. How important is it to be able to cool ourselves down in summer, or warm ourselves up in winter? If our skin is damaged or not in good condition, it can hinder it’s ability to help us.

Our skin also helps with the production of vitamin D, protects us from UV rays, pollution, and other lifestyle factors. Some of the results of these are immediate, and some are more long term. We can deal with current complaints of tiredness or lethargy when we have enough vitamin D. But the long-term effects are that we slow down the aging process of our skin. So it makes complete sense to take care of our skin each day.

If your skin is in a bad way, then it could mean leading to something like cosmetic surgery when you get older to fix it. That can both be expensive, as well as invasive. You could consider something like cosmetic dermatology instead of surgery instead. It is designed to help your body and skin repair itself, rather than just artificially fix it. But if your skin is in a bad way and lacks elasticity or collagen, would it even be able to repair itself? You could read more here if needed: https://northdallasderm.com/cosmetic-dermatology/.

The bottom line is that we need to be taking care of our skin now. Whatever age you are, it is never too early or never too late. When you take the time to take care of yourself, you will see the results quickly.
