Drinking a lot of water
This tip doesn’t necessarily keep your skin moist, however, it will aid overall with the upkeep of health and in turn your skin as well. You might be wondering why is this even a tip? Although simple, a lot of people don’t drink water regularly, but this is an important skin care tip.
Get info on your skin type
This is an important tip, why? For the simple fact that not every skincare product is suited for everyone. In fact, most skin care products specify the type of skin there made for, so pay attention to your skin type when choosing a product.
If you have any other skin conditions, treat them with care
Don’t neglect any other condition you might have other than oily or dry, make sure to consult your dermatologist before using any skincare product (you don’t want to any more damage to your skin even more).
Make sure to cleanse on a regular basis
Usually 1-2 times a day depending on the severity of your skin. Doing this really helps to get rid of excess dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. This is really important when you’ve been out and about on the go, there are many harsh elements outside that are damaging to the skin (pollutants, dust etc). Be sure to use lukewarm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin)
Try to avoid using soap in the face
as it can dry the skin out. Soap should only be used from below the neck. A small tip but it is an important one.
Be gentle, after all, it’s your skin
Don’t scrub or exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many skin care products. This is a must-to-follow skin care tip.
Do your best to keep your skin moist as much as you can
I know with the day to day hustle can be challenging. If you don’t remember any other tip, remember this one because it’s one of the most important skin care tips. Try to avoid letting your skin get dry. This causes breakage to the outer layer of skin, which can lead to your skin becoming rough and unattractive. Moisturizers work best when applied while the skin is still wet.
UV rays are of course harmful to the skin
So, use sunscreen as needed to help protect your skin. There are daytime moisturizers with sunscreen in them you can use, just pay attention to the label when purchasing a particular product. Even when it’s cloudy outside, you should still our sunscreen. UV rays are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without fail.
Try to reduce your stress levels
Everyone knows that stress is harmful to the body, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too. Believe it or not, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.
Exercise and a good night’s sleep are very important
Not just for skin care but naturally for your overall health. Wrinkles can come from a lack of sleep, also a lack of exercise can cause your skin to droop and slack. Moreover, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress. So besides being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.
