Upping My Gen Z Personal Care Routine in 5 Steps
Generation Z, those born between 1995 and 2015, spend a lot of time on their personal care routine - myself included. Even teens are using facial cleansers, eye creams and moisturizers. It's a part of our daily routine.
And it’s a trend that is shaping the beauty world, which now has to offer products for a wider range of clientele.
Why Personal Care is Important
As a Gen Zer, you want to look good today, tomorrow and when you’re 50. Consistency leads to beauty, and flawless skin comes with a daily routine. It's just that simple. Personal care is important because you’ll:
· Look your best
· Feel your best
· Be confident
It's all about you. Chances are, personal care might mean something different to you than it does to your friends or family.
What Does Personal Care Mean to You?
Personal care means I’m ready for the day. If a friend stops by or someone wants to go to lunch, my care routine means I’m at least partially ready. My skin looks good. If I were a man, my beard would be trimmed and on point. My face is glowing after my morning or nightly face scrub.
For you, personal care may mean that when you look in the mirror, you feel good about yourself.
If you’re worried about aging or want to get rid of dark undereye circles, your care routine may focus on this issue.
Once you understand what personal care means to you, you can start building a routine of your own.
Building a Personal Care Routine
What’s your personal or skincare routine look like? If you’re trying to make a better routine or need to put one in place, it only takes a few steps to get started. Universal personal care makes developing a routine simple.
Let's walk through a five-step process to help build your routine today.
1. Face. Your face makes an impression, and there are always a few concerns when trying to care for your face. Determine your routine based on these concerns:
· Aging. Spot treatments and hydrating products may work well.
· Dryness. Moisturizers will do the trick.
· Dullness. Exfoliating products along with hydrating and similar products can help.
· Under eye and wrinkles. Eye creams, creams with peptides and wrinkle creams work best.
· Oily skin. Exfoliating products and certain moisturizers may help.
2. Hair. In-shower and styling products can help. Suffer from flat hair? A volumizer may help. Want to get rid of flakes? There's a shampoo for that.
3. Body + Hygiene. Scrubs, cleansers and body washes come to mind. Deodorant creams and products can also help the active person smell fresh all day long.
4. Fragrance. Want to smell good? Perfumes, colognes and body sprays can help. A general fragrance is good for most occasions, but you may want to have options for special occasions, such as first dates.
5. Shave. Growing a beard? There are kits that can help along with beard oils, balms and multiple shave products. Pre- and after-shave products may be an option if you have sensitive skin or need to shave and leave quickly in the morning.
Slowly add to your routine over time, choosing products that have a purpose and help you look and feel your best.
