(Newswire.net — August 24, 2020) — Even the most beauty-conscious woman forgets to clean up her makeup, forgoes the sunscreen, or overlooks the regular appointment with a dermatologist, all of which are poor skin care practice. As we push forward in the second half of 2020, we asked top dermatologists to offer their best advice on the best skincare practices, and here are some of their suggestions.
Be consistent in your cleansing routine
Cleansing is a critical, non-negotiable part of every skin care regimen. To that end, make a resolution to be consistent in your cleansing routine. You should clean your face before applying your makeup every morning, and every night before you go to bed.
Search for a facial cleanser designed for your type of skin so that you can start things on the right foot and never add a moisturizer or make-up over dirty skin.
Never go to bed with your makeup
You’ve known since God’s dog was a pup that makeup can mix with dirt and skin oils to cause spots and blemishes. Cosmetics can also capture free radicals floating in the air that damage the skin. But you’ve had a busy day and are too exhausted to visit the bathroom, so, the next option is to go to bed still wearing your makeup. This is a huge no-no. At the very least, clean away your mascara. You can use your face wipes to quickly clean up your makeup, preferably using face wipes that come as combination cleansers.
Switch to organic or natural
If you’re like most women, you probably clear out your cabinet regularly. To ensure that you don’t load your makeup bag with more chemical-based cosmetics, why don’t you turn to natural, organic products instead?
With an increasing number of people making incremental changes to live more sustainably, there is increasing demand in sustainable, organic skincare. And for good reason too. Organic beauty is not only good for the earth, but also healthy for our bodies. Made from natural ingredients, you are sure that only healthy stuff can touch your skin, with nothing to worry about.
And according to Vibs Amin, CEO of Okana Skincare, New Zealand’s top natural skincare company, you don’t have to be a vegetarian to use organic and natural skincare. Sometimes, it’s just good to know that you’re not putting harsh chemicals on your skin.
Go for regular facials
Facials might sound like indulgence, but they may give you more of a skin lift than you may know. Skin cells are renewed after 27 days; therefore, you can cleanse and wash your skin at least once a month. Although there are a variety of home-based therapies to resolve different skin-care issues, certain items are better left to specialists.
For example, microdermabrasion, glycolic peels, and solid enzyme peels are professional forms of deep facial cleansing, so leave those jobs to the experts and enjoy your shine at home with DIY facials.
Eat healthy meals
It may sound obvious, but sometimes reinventing your diet is the right suggestion. Our skin depends on a variety of nutrients to keep it bright and healthy. With a healthy and balanced diet, you can make sure your skin gets exactly what it needs. This includes vitamins A, C, and E, as well as healthy protein sources. Besides, eating well offers other rewards, such as weight management and energy, and this commitment should be an important part of your agenda for the rest of the year.
Wear sunscreen always
Going to the beach? Leaving for the office? Taking a tour round world’s tourist capital while on vacation? Whatever your plans for the day, be sure to remember your SPF. In fact, sunscreen must be an integral part of your beauty routine if you want your skin to remain youthful and healthy, instead of worn out and old.
The SPF in your foundation and base will not do. In fact, you will probably need to pack about seven times the volume of the foundation you will routinely use for the SPF level on the package to be successful. It sure doesn’t hurt to have a protective layer over your usual sunscreen, but never use foundation alone.
Change your pillowcases regularly
You’ve read it before, so it’s time to take the suggestion seriously. The number of bacteria that can build up on your pillow cases is a breakout recipe, so make sure to refresh your pillowcases at least twice a week.
Drink lots of Water
One of the most well-known healthy skin care practices is to consume lots of water. Water is vital if you are interested in flawless skin. In fact, you should drink at least 8 ounces of water a day to keep your skin hydrated totally. If you don’t like drinking ordinary water, consider trying fruit-infused water, coconut water or herbal tea.
Hopefully, going through this article is the first step in improving your skincare routine. The next step is to actually follow and keep these resolutions. Do this and see your body glow before the end of the year.
