5 Tips For Healthier Skin
Wash your hands before you touch your face. You use your hands all day touching door knobs, elevator buttons and your computer keys along with many other germ filled surfaces. This simple habit with help keep your face clean in return lessen breakouts.
Skip the morning cleanse. Before you go to bed you wash your face and apply your night skincare routine, unless your products say rinse in the morning you don’t need to cleanse with soap in the a.m. Over washing your face can lead to damaging you skin’s moisture barrier and that can lead to acne and dry skin. Instead you can splash your face with lukewarm water then go into your next step as if you cleansed.
Don’t be afraid of the cold. Washing your face with warm or hot water can feel good but you could be causing more harm than you know. Try switching to cold water the colder temperature will help with inflammation and retaining hydration. I have also found that rubbing an ice cube on my face takes care of that morning “puffy face” this can also be used help with lymphatic drainage.
Use hyaluronic acid. This is such a simple step to include in your skin care routine. It is one of the most commonly buzzed-about beauty ingredients because of its incredible ability to hold up to 1,000x its weight in water. It’s also something that your body makes naturally, so its chemical composition absorbs easily into your skin. That makes hyaluronic acid serums particularly amazing for dry and mature complexions or anyone who wants to plump away fine lines and wrinkles.
Don’t put a clean face on a dirty pillow. Change your sheets and pillow case more often …….at least 2x a week. You spend 6-8 hours each night with your face touching your bed, make that time make sense. Oils form your hair and dead skin cells are on your sheets and pillow, you don’t want you face laying in that over and over again.
