So grab the beverage sparkling water, wine, or cocktail and let's dive in.

Secret #1: Cleansing is Key

Keeping your skin free of dirt, oil, and makeup is crucial to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.
Having a cleanser that suits your skin type is a must.
Stay away from harsh scrubs or cleansers that strip your skin of its natural oils.
Lastly, double cleanse if you wear makeup or sunscreen to ensure your skin is thoroughly clean.

Secret #2: Hydration is a Must

Hydrated skin is healthy skin and drinking water isn't enough.
You'll need to moisturize daily with a product that suits your skin type.
Look for a moisturizer that contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides.
Apply it to damp skin after cleansing and serums to lock in moisture.

Secret #3: Exfoliation is Essential

Exfoliating once or twice a week will help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover.
But be gentle with your skin. Use a chemical exfoliant instead of harsh physical scrubs that can damage your skin unless otherwise prescribed by your esthetician.
But beware, too much exfoliation can cause irritation and sensitivity again ask your esthetician for the suggested duration.

Secret #4: Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable

Remember to protect your skin from UV rays every day, even on cloudy days.
Look for sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and apply it generously to all exposed areas of your skin.
Reapply if you're outdoors or sweating.

Secret #5: Eye Cream is Essential

The delicate skin around your eyes is the first area to show signs of aging and fatigue.
That's why it's important to use an eye cream daily to hydrate and protect this area.
Look for an eye cream that contains antioxidants, peptides, or caffeine to reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.
And don't forget to apply it gently with your ring finger, as this finger applies the least pressure.

Secret #6: Know Your Skin Type

Knowing your skin type is important when selecting the right products for your skin's needs.
The most common skin types are oily, dry, combination, and sensitive.
You can determine your skin type by examining your skin's texture, oiliness, and sensitivity.
Once you and your esthetician have determined your skin type, skincare products that are specifically formulated to address your unique needs can be added to your regimen.
Avoid those that may cause irritation or breakouts, unless otherwise suggested from your skincare provider.

Secret #7: Consistency is Key

The key to healthy skin is consistency.
Taking care of your skin is not a one-and-done deal.
It's a daily practice that pays off in the long run.
To truly reap the benefits of skincare, you need to be committed to your routine and use products that are tailored to your skin's unique needs
Don't skip your facial routines, even when you're tired or busy.
Your skin will thank you for it in the long run.

Summary
