Good skin starts with commitment and a little effort.
With a brand new year, it’s worthwhile listing down the new year’s resolutions for new skincare goals… Yaasss….Let’s get started…!
#1: Do Not Touch Thy Face
I know this is one sounds easy, but it’s easier said than done! How many of us tend to touch our faces without even realizing it? It’s one of those things you do unconsciously. Picking and touching your face can introduce unwanted bacteria onto the skin which can lead to blemishes and breakouts.
#2: Re-Evaluate Your Skin’s Needs
The skin constantly changes (remember guys, it’s your body’s largest organ!) and it goes through seasons of change too! Don’t be surprised if you find your skin moving towards being more dry or oily as you age! Being constantly aware of your skin’s needs (and your lifestyle) will help you make better choices for your skincare. Also, being aware of your problem areas will help you address it with the right treatment products.
#3: Drink More Water
Drinking water is one of the best ways to hydrate your skin and get rid of toxins. Keep a bottle handy with you at all times if you can…
#4: Wash Your Face Before Going To Bed
You can’t ever skip this step. Period. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type followed with a soothing toner to prep your skin. Don’t forget to use a gentle scrub twice a week to buff away dead skin cells that pile up and make your skin appear dull.
#5: Exercise!
Choose your favourite way to get moving and to sweat it out! Exercise is crucial in getting blood circulation to your body, including the skin! You can also try out facial exercises to firm up facial muscles, increase blood circulation and improve lymphatic drainage.
#6: Clock In Your Zzzz’s
Your skin needs to rejuvenate and repair itself, daily. Want to wake up with your skin glowing? Go to bed slightly earlier and keep the dark circles at bay.
#7: Wear Sunscreen Everyday
Indoors or outdoors – this one is a definite MUST and is one of your most fundamental skincare tip for anti-aging that you can receive. Wearing a sunscreen helps protect and prevent cell damage and in turn, skin aging.
Here’s to a great 2022 –let’s feel great, look great, and start mindfully practicing these 7 tips for better skin health!
