Having a beautiful skin is the dream of every woman. Though some women are naturally endowed with beautiful skin that doesn’t cost a dime to maintain, the less fortunate others spend fortunes seeking expert advice, to ensure they have a blemish-free, glowing skin. However, below are rudiments you could go through to help keep your skin looking great.
Clean out your skin care stash
Check the label of your products because skincare products do not last forever. There’s a number that represents the number of months your products are good after opening. Make regular cleanings easier by writing the date you opened each item directly on the tube or jar with a marker.
Moisturize both morning and night
This is very important. Keeping skin moisturized not only encourages healthy cell turnover but helps fight the signs of aging.
Mask at least once a week
Masking regularly, one to three times a week can create serious change in the skin. While you wait for the mask to work its magic put up your feet and relax.
Exfoliate regularly
This will help your skin care products absorb and help your makeup blend simultaneously.
Wear sunscreen everyday
This is very important. You must carry your sunscreen in your bag. A skin specialist (dermatologist) said that sunscreen should be applied every three hours. But most of us use the sunscreen once a day after bath. Also, remember your neck needs to be screened.
Remove makeup every single night
Avoid clogged pores and premature aging by developing a nightly skincare routine
Wash your make up brushes
Commit to washing your most used brushes once a week. Run the head of the brush under warm water, add a drop of baby shampoo to your palm, swirl the brush in the soap and rinse the brush head under water once more.
Wear skin-healthy makeup
Skincare and makeup go together.
When you work so hard to keep your skin balanced don’t undo it with pore clogging makeup.
See a skin specialist
Support your DIY regimen with a visit to a dermatologist. The doctors would help set you on a plan for success and give you professional advice on what to do to boost your skin.
