Don't we all know this scenario: a pimple suddenly appears before an important event, or you notice those fine lines around your eyes for the first time? You go on a quest to buy the "best" skincare to instantly alleviate your worries. You end up with a bathroom full of skincare, but your problem hasn't disappeared? Sound familiar, right?
"I struggled with acne when I was younger. Buying more skincare didn't make my acne problems any better, but it did help my wallet."
DR. BARBARA GEUSENS
Dr. Barbara Geusens, founder of Nomige, notes that people far too often choose the wrong makeup and skincare products. That's why she created Nomige, an effective and personalized skincare routine consisting of just four products that delivers maximum benefits to your skin.
What to Look for in a Good Skin Care Routine
Dr. Geusens is convinced that it's nearly impossible to create a one-size-fits-all product that addresses all your skin concerns. If you're in your early twenties, blessed with good genes , and don't live in a challenging environment with sun exposure, pollution, and extreme weather, a single product like sunscreen might be sufficient. But that's quite a lot to consider, don't you think?
The aging process is unstoppable and could use some support to keep your skin in good condition. Carefully selected anti-aging ingredients in your skincare products can contribute to this.
Keep this in mind when mixing skincare products from different brands . Just as you shouldn't mix tonic water with Baileys, this sometimes also applies to your skincare. If you've ever had more severe acne, chances are your doctor has recommended benzoyl peroxide cream. Did you know that benzoyl peroxide and certain vitamins interact? Benzoyl peroxide has an oxidative effect that helps clear clogged pores. Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that essentially work against oxidants. So, if these vitamins are oxidized by benzoyl peroxide, they lose their properties and are no longer beneficial for the skin.
Also, don't combine vitamin C with anti-aging peptide creams or probiotic creams with products containing preservatives. These combinations can easily negate each other's effectiveness.
These are just a few examples given to demonstrate why you should carefully formulate your skincare to get the most out of your products.
A helpful tip is to obtain information by looking at the ingredients list. A reasonably "good" skincare product usually contains between 10 and 30 ingredients . Ingredients are chosen not only for their effectiveness on your skin, but also for their ability to enhance the effect of an active ingredient, ensure stability, prevent microbial contamination, and so on.
WHY DOES IT CONSIST OF 4 PRODUCTS?
Your first Nomige order always includes four products: day serum, day cream (lifestyle cream), night serum, and night cream . Each product benefits your skin in a unique way because it's tailored to your DNA profile . Some say four products are a lot to use every day, while others are surprised that you don't need much more. Here's how a Nomige skincare routine is structured.
Ingredients do not counteract each other
Now that we've discussed how ingredients can interfere with each other, you understand the importance of the right cocktail of ingredients . The advantage of Nomige products is that the active ingredients are distributed across the four products to ensure maximum activity and stability. This allows Nomige to apply a more targeted approach, as each product focuses on something different, such as collagen production, antioxidant protection, and hydration.
Nomige skincare routine
With just 4 products, Nomige takes into account exposure to UV rays and pollution, skin type, lifestyle and a predisposition to aging (derived from DNA).
Airless packaging
Nomige uses airtight packaging for every product. This contrasts with jarred products, where removing the lid exposes the ingredients to air, light, and contamination, which can negatively impact the ingredients and the product's effectiveness. You can easily cut through it, allowing you to enjoy every last bit of product left.
Using a limited number of effective products gives you a better overview of your routine, so you know when to buy new products.
Time saving
Because time is precious , there's no need to spend long hours in the bathroom doing your skincare routine instead of cooking, reading, or cuddling with your loved one. Therefore, using two products in the morning and two in the evening can save you time during your daily activities.
