Top 5 Skincare Questions We Were Asked in 2024
2024 has been a big year for skincare, with people becoming more mindful about their routines and curious about how to care for their skin better. At Invigorate Spa, we’ve heard it all, and we love guiding our clients toward healthier, glowing skin! Here are the top 5 skincare questions we were asked this year—and our expert answers.
1. What’s the Best Skincare Routine for My Skin Type?
This is, by far, the most common question. With so many products on the market, it can be overwhelming to know what works for your unique skin type.
- Answer: The key is customization. A basic routine includes cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen, but the products you choose should align with your skin’s needs. Oily skin benefits from lightweight, mattifying products, while dry skin thrives on rich, hydrating formulations.
2. How Often Should I Exfoliate?
Exfoliation is crucial for glowing skin, but overdoing it can cause damage.
- Answer: Most skin types can handle exfoliating 1-2 times per week, but sensitive skin might need less, while oily or acne-prone skin can benefit from more frequent, gentle exfoliation. Always listen to your skin—if it feels tight, irritated, or red, it’s time to scale back.
3. Is It Normal for My Skin to Change with the Seasons?
Many clients noticed shifts in their skin’s behavior throughout the year and wanted to know why.
- Answer: Yes, it’s completely normal! Winter often brings dryness due to lower humidity, while summer may lead to excess oiliness. Adjust your routine with the seasons—heavier moisturizers in winter, lightweight products in summer, and sunscreen year-round.
4. What Ingredients Should I Avoid in My Skincare?
The “clean beauty” trend has sparked questions about potentially harmful ingredients.
- Answer: Avoid alcohols that dry the skin, synthetic fragrances, and harsh sulfates. For those with sensitive skin, steer clear of parabens and certain essential oils. Always check the ingredient list and patch-test new products.
5. Do Facials Really Make a Difference?
With so many at-home treatments available, many clients wonder if spa facials are worth it.
- Answer: Absolutely! Professional facials target deeper layers of the skin than at-home treatments can. They cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate while addressing specific concerns like acne, aging, or pigmentation. Plus, the relaxation aspect is unbeatable!
