20 Skin Care Tips You Need to Know
1. Never forget to cleanse
Using a cleanser every day removes dirt, pollution and impurities from the skin, and it's an essential daily step.
2. Try double cleansing
This skincare trend is all about washing your face with a no-rinse cleanser, then following up with a rinse-off option to give skin a deeper clean.
3. Use lukewarm water
Hot water can cause the skin to dry out and become flaky, so it's always best to keep water lukewarm and protect your natural oils.
4. Remember to exfoliate
If you want a glowing complexion, you need to exfoliate to remove any dry, dead skin which may be clogging up your pores. The key to properly exfoliating is to listen to your skin. Some skin types can handle everyday exfoliation, while others can only tolerate it once or twice a week.
5. Moisturise
It's so important to moisturise to lock in hydration, even if you have an oily skin tone.
6. Don't forget about your eyes
The skin around your eyes is more delicate than anywhere else on your face; therefore, this is where signs of ageing can appear first, so you'll want to keep this area hydrated and protected.
7. Use a face serum
A step before a moisturiser, face serums are a lightweight offering that works to provide the skin with an extra dose of moisture. Depending on the formula, you can also firm, plump, and even skin tone to achieve glowing skin.
8. Use SPF daily
It's so important to use SPF daily even in the winter, to protect your skin against the damage of UV rays. Once you spend prolonged periods in the sun unprotected, you run the risk of visible signs of ageing rearing their ugly head. And of course, this can wreak havoc on your skin.
9. Stay consistent
Once you've established a skincare routine, you must stick to it. Products usually require a reasonable period of use before you see results.
10. Apply skincare products in the right order.
It's vital to use skin care products in the right order so that the products can work effectively. In general, you should always layer your products from thinnest to thickest.
11. Drink more water
While your beauty routine plays a role in the overall appearance of your skin, so can your everyday habits. Not only is drinking water high for your overall health, but it can benefit your skin, too.
12. Don't pick your spots
While they can seem to take forever to go away, that doesn’t mean that picking at or popping blemishes is the way to go. It can slow down your healing time and get in the form of a beautiful complexion.
13. Reach for anti-ageing skincare products
It's never too early to start!
14. Eat a balanced diet
What you put into your body, can have a significant effect on your overall health and even your skin.
15. Remove makeup for bed
This is one of our most-repeated skincare tips: While the only thing on your mind at night may be to catch some shut-eye, leaving your makeup on can have adverse effects on your skin. Makeup can mix with oil and dirt on the surf,ace which can lead to acne.
16. Clean your makeup brushes
One of the worst jobs (we know) but so important so you don't end up putting dirt, dust and bacteria back onto your skin.
17. Wash your pillowcases regularly
Finding you have blemishes which won't clear up, your pillowcases may be too blame. Pillowcases can build up bacteria and dirt over time which may end up on your skin as you sleep.
18. Get your beauty sleep
When you are asleep, your skin and your body have time to rest and renew itself, which is why it's so important to ensure you get enough sleep. Why do you think its called beauty sleep?
19. Manage stress
Stress can result in acne flare-ups, which is not a good sign for your skin. Stress can be challenging to manage but try to indulge in a little self-care.
20. Watch out for dark spots
Dark spots can become a factor once something triggers the skin to produce more melanin. The good news is, while it may seem that those spots are permanent, there is a way to help fade them over time. A Glycolic acid serum is a great way to do this.
