The Correct Cleanser
Salicylic gel or benzoyl peroxide wash works great for oily or acne-prone skin. Use a moisturizing glycolic or milky cleanser for dry mature skin. For brown spots or melasma, use a brightening face wash, like an alpha hydroxy acid cleanser.
Too Many Products
Layering multiple skincare products on all at once is a faux pas, which can be harsh on the skin, resulting in more breakouts and clogged pores.
Moisturize Day and Night
The best time to moisturize is right after you get out of the shower and before you go to bed. Try avoiding lotions with heavy fragrances and make sure you look for a moisturizer gentle enough for everyday use with zero irritation.
Don’t Touch Your Face
Figuring out how to stop touching your face is very important. It spreads bacteria and causes breakouts, which can lead to scarring, an increase in wrinkles, and even the flu or other viruses.
Hydrate
Every skin expert emphasizes the importance of hydration, as a lack of water means less radiance and more sag. Choose cleansing, moisturizing, and anti-aging products that have hydrating formulas and drink around eight glasses of water a day.
Direct Heat Exposure
Apart from the sun, getting too close to heaters and fireplaces can also wreak havoc on your skin; it causes inflammation and rapid collagen breakdown. Experts recommend staying at least ten feet away.
Exfoliate
You lose around 50 million skin cells a day, and without an extra nudge, they may hang around leaving the skin looking sullen. To avoid this, choose a product that is pH neutral which doesn’t dry as it exfoliates.
Vitamins on Your Skin
A balanced diet is important, but there’s more than just one way to give your skin vitamins. Try topical antioxidants, which are serums and creams contain ingredients that nourish the skin and can help repair the skin from sun damage.
Get Your Greens
Instead of coffee, drink a shot of chlorophyll every morning to brighten, oxygenate, and hydrate your skin. Remember to also keep drinking green juices with lots of veggies in them to help oxygenate the skin and stimulate lymphatic drainage.
A Healthy Diet
Your skin’s natural barrier to retain moisture is mainly made up of omega-3 fatty acids. Add flax seeds or walnuts on your salad for an instant boost to your omega-3, increasing your skin’s ability to hold onto moisture.
