Take Better Care Of Your Skin With These 20 Tips
Maintaining healthy and beautiful skin is one of the most crucial aspects of wellness. Proper care of your skin can help ensure it remains vibrant, youthful and fresh - plus fight wrinkles, acne and other common skin conditions that affect most people today. ​

​Here Are Some Helpful Tips For Taking Good Care Of Your Skin:

1. Cleanse twice a day using a gentle cleanser

Proper skincare includes regularly cleansing the face. For this to work effectively, this means using a mild cleanser both morning and evening with all traces of makeup removed before bed so your pores won't become blocked while you sleep.

2. Moisturize regularly

To maintain optimal skin hydration and avoid environmental damage such as windburn or sunburn, daily moisturization with an appropriate moisturizer for your skin type is vitally important. Choosing an effective moisturizer helps hydrate cells as well as shielding against environmental exposure such as wind or sun exposure.

3. Wear sunscreen daily, even on overcast or cool days

UV rays can accelerate premature aging and increase your risk of skin cancer; thus it's vital that you apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen every time you go outdoors in direct sunlight for over two hours at a time. Reapply frequently.

4. Give your skin a break from makeup now and then

Too much makeup can clog pores, potentially leading to acne and other skin conditions, while it is beneficial for its health to give the skin some much-needed air time every now and again.

5. Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking lots of water

Staying hydrated has many advantages for skin health, such as reducing wrinkles and improving elasticity. Aim for at least eight glasses daily if you live in a hot climate; more is acceptable if active.

6. Exfoliate regularly

​Exfoliating twice each week using an exfoliating scrub or mask is key to uncovering vibrant, healthy skin underneath the dead cells that cover it. However, be careful not to over-exfoliate; doing so may strip too much natural oils from your skin and lead to dryness or irritation.

7. Eat a balanced diet

Aim to consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables each day in order to nourish your skin from within, especially foods high in antioxidants like berries and dark leafy greens which contain phytochemicals which protect your cells against environmental stressors and free radicals that contribute to premature aging. You may also consider supplementing with vitamins A, C, E and omega-3 fatty acids for maximum skin health; avoid processed sugars if possible!

8. Make sure to get enough sleep every night

Lack of restful slumber can contribute to dull looking skin due to hormonal changes that increase breakout risks when fatigued. Aim for at least seven to nine hours of uninterrupted slumber every night for optimal results.

9. Avoid smoking and excessive drinking

​These activities have been proven to cause premature aging, wrinkles, and dry skin. If you indulge in either one of these activities, take extra precautions with your skin by following other tips on this list.

10. Take regular breaks from screens

​Prolonged exposure to blue light from phones, tablets, and computers can damage skin cells as well as disturb your natural circadian rhythm. Consider setting an alarm or using an app that reminds you to take regular breaks during the day.

11. Reduce Stress

Stress has been linked with various skin problems, including breakouts, wrinkles and irritation. Make sure that you set aside time each day to relax and decompress if you find yourself becoming overwhelmed with tension or anxiety.

12. Select products designed specifically to your skin type

If you have oily or combination skin, look for oil-free moisturizers and cleansers that won't clog your pores; while for dry skin types, consider creams or serums designed to lock in moisture.

13. Visit a dermatologist regularly​

​A trained professional can identify any underlying issues such as eczema on dark skin and prescribe the most suitable treatments to address them. Even if no skin problems exist, getting checked every year or two is still beneficial.

14. Experiment with natural remedies

Many natural ingredients, including aloe vera, honey and tea tree oil have long been touted for their skin-healing abilities. Be sure to research each item carefully prior to trying anything new as this could include allergies or sensitivities that need to be considered first.

15. Use eye cream nightly

Your delicate eye area requires extra special care as it is more susceptible to wrinkles and dark circles than other parts of your skin. Select an age-specific eye cream and apply as directed each evening before bed.

16. Face masks

Treat your skin with regular face masks containing natural ingredients like clay, aloe vera or avocado oil to keep your complexion soft and refreshed.

17. Try facial oils

Whilst facial oils cannot treat every condition, they can help hydrate and nourish skin while not clogging pores. Select an oil designed specifically for your skin type (dry, oily or combination) and use as directed; generally apply one or two drops as necessary.

18. Make an investment in quality makeup brushes

​Good-quality brushes make all the difference when applying makeup, as they won't irritate skin or leave behind streaks of product. Look for natural fiber brushes made with sable or goat hair over synthetic materials for best results.

19. Apply sunscreen

​Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging, so always wear broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen whenever going outside and reapply as necessary if spending long amounts of time outdoors.

20. Remember to always remove your makeup before bed

Letting makeup remain on your skin overnight can clog pores and lead to breakouts or other skin irritations, so be sure that no matter how exhausted you may feel, you are taking off all traces every night no matter how tired. For optimal results, use a gentle cleanser as this is key for healthy looking skin with a youthful radiance.
