There is so much skincare advice available on the web, but what is most important is thoughtfulness and consistency to follow a simple routine every day. From maintaining a balanced diet to being conscious of the kind of products you use, everything is critical to achieving glowing skin.
Here are some tips that you can easily follow:
Wash Your Face Twice a Day
Washing your face gently is important – both in the morning and at night. This will ensure your skin and pores are free from bacteria. If you skip washing your face, it is likely to increase the pore size, make skin oilier, and even cause or exaggerate acne.
Get Proper Sleep
There is nothing more important than getting restful sleep (at least 7-9 hours a night) – this is important for proper skin cell and tissue rejuvenation. Get restful sleep by clearing your mind before you hit the sack. Try and minimize the use of cell phones, TV, and other stimulating activities, at least 30 minutes before your bedtime. Instead, try and read a book, or listen to music to relax.
Breathe Clean Air
Whether it’s heavy pollution, cigarette smoke, or artificial fragrance, everything impacts skin health and appearance, since it forms free radicals or skin irritation. Try and stay in environments that have clean air. In case you can’t manage that, wash your face regularly and choose products that are high in antioxidants.
Get Antioxidants
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, so it is important to get your dose! Use products with antioxidant ingredients, such as Vitamin C, Green Tea, Olive Leaf, Licorice Root, and Pomegranate, and include them generously, as part of your skincare routine. Blueberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli are all good sources of antioxidants.
Exfoliate Your Skin Gently
When skin is dry and flaky, we might feel tempted to scrub it even more. However, this irritates the skin even further, and might even break capillaries in the skin. Instead, try and look for ingredients like AHA from fruit acids that naturally remove dead skin cells in a gentle manner.
Exercise Regularly
Good skin is not just about doing work on the outside, it is also working what’s on the inside. Try and do some form of exercises like yoga or a run – this helps to increase blood flow to the skin, and helps to keep it clear and free of toxins.
