Do you diligently follow a daily skincare routine, yet still struggle with skin issues? You might be overdue for a skincare upgrade. Your skin is constantly changing and adapting, so what worked for you in the past may not be as effective now.

SIGNS YOUR DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE NEEDS A CHANGE

It's essential to examine your skincare regimen from time to time and reevaluate whether it's still working. Any of the following can indicate a need for change:

• Lack of visible results
• Skin sensitivity or irritation
• Seasonal change
• Change in lifestyle or diet
• Hormonal change

Like your body, your skin's needs are dynamic. Recognizing signs that your daily skincare routine needs a change will help you achieve healthier, more radiant skin.

HOW TO EVALUATE YOUR CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE

If you've realized that your daily skincare routine isn't helping you achieve your desired results, it's time to take a closer look at what you're currently using.

Start by examining the ingredient list on your skincare products. Look for active ingredients that target your specific skin concerns. If there's no improvement after using a product consistently for 6 – 8 weeks, it's likely not effective for your skin. Also, make note of any adverse reactions like breakouts that indicate the product is not suitable for your skin type.

If you haven't already switched over to professional skincare products, now might be the time. Professional skincare contains a higher concentration of active ingredients, so products like our Blemish Control No. 5 with Benzoyl Peroxide are more potent and effective.

YOUR GUIDE TO REVAMPING YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

Once you have an idea of improvements you can make to your daily skincare routine, it's time to create a plan. Follow this step-by-step guide, and you'll achieve glowing, healthy skin in no time.

1. IDENTIFY GOALS AND CONCERNS

Before making any changes, make a list of things you want to accomplish. Do you want to minimize fine lines and wrinkles? Reduce acne breakouts? Improve your overall complexion? Each product you find should target a specific concern. For example, if you want a gentler cleanser to remove your makeup, try our Mega Cream Cleanser.

2. RESEARCH NEW INGREDIENTS

Take the time to research active ingredients that focus on your specific skin concerns. Look for the ingredients you need in pharmaceutical-grade products. Since these products are tested for quality and compliance, they will prove more dependable. The active ingredients should be listed clearly—like on our Retinol Rejuvenation Serum—so you know which skin concerns the product addresses.

3. INTRODUCE ONE PRODUCT AT A TIME

When you're ready to implement changes, it's best to introduce one new product at a time. This will help you pinpoint which new products are working and which ones are not. You'll also avoid overwhelming your skin with too many new ingredients at once.

Once you've incorporated your first new product for at least a month, add the next one.

4. GET PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE

If you're unsure where to start or what products would work best for your skin, consult with a GlyMed Pro. These skincare professionals can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific concerns and skin type. They may also suggest more advanced treatments to enhance the effectiveness of your new daily skincare routine.
