Top 10 Golden Rules for Skincare Routines

skincare routine

With all the skincare products lining store shelves, you may be wondering what’s really important for maintaining the health of your skin. Cleansing, treating, protecting, and moisturizing all have their advantages — but you may be looking for the most essential steps to making the biggest difference. Particularly if you’re just getting started with a regular skincare routine.

Prioritizing skincare

The truth is, skincare goes beyond having the right products in your cabinet. Its also about taking good care of your health and personal well-being.

1. Drink Up

Getting adequate water is important for overall health – and that includes your skin. Keep yours looking supple and fresh by drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses daily.

2. Get More Shut-Eye

Lack of sleep leads to skin that looks dull and tired. Why? As you sleep, your body produces more collagen, which is essential for keeping lines and wrinkles away.

3. Cleanse Twice a Day

No matter how tired you are, do your face a favor by washing up before bed. Leaving on makeup can clog pores, irritate skin, and generate unwanted bacteria on your pillow.

4. Exfoliate Twice a Week

Remove dead skin-cell buildup, reduce the appearance of pores, and reveal fresh, new skin. When you exfoliate, your skin looks smoother and behaves better.

5. Moisturize – and Then Some

Dry air, heating and cooling, the sun’s rays, the winter winds – with every season, your skin is always losing moisture. Stay supple by hydrating year-round.

6. Slather on Sunscreen

Don’t let the sun’s rays give you extra fine lines and wrinkles. Protect your skin from UVB/UVA exposure by limiting exposure and wearing protective clothing and sunscreen every day.

7. Don’t Pick

Picking at blemishes can lead to permanent scarring. Leave blemishes be – they’ll heal better and you’ll have fewer unwanted marks later.

8. Manage Stress

When you’re stressed, your brain releases cortisol, which in turn increases oil production in the glands and leads to breakouts.

9. Eat Healthy

Antioxidants, good-for-you fats, and essential vitamins and minerals benefit your skin by protecting your cells, combating free radicals, and delaying aging.

10. Don’t Smoke

There are more than 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke – and many trigger the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the very fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity.

Nighttime skin care routine, Do you need one?

Image
  Nighttime skin care routine: You need one During the day, while you’re working hard or playing hard, your skin is just as busy as you are, protecting itself from UV rays, dirt, pollution—you name it. At night, while you get to sleep and rest up, your skin is actually still working. It’s busy repairing itself so it’s ready for another day. That’s why a good nightly skin care routine is essential. Why do I need a different skin care routine at night? Your skin generates new cells over time, and most of this happens at night when your body is resting. Since your skin is already in repair mode, this makes your nightly routine the ideal time to use products that target any concerns you have. Think of your nightly skin care routine as backup for your skin cells as they regenerate while you snooze. You don’t need products with SPF at night like you do during the day, but you can use heavier moisturizing products that work while you sleep. Products that make your...

  Skin care products tip: Order matters Thanks to advanced research, it’s easy for us to identify several skin concerns and seek out individual products to address each one. Before we know it, our skin care routine is a many-layered complex concoction of multiple lotions, creams, serums and ointments. But there is such a thing as having too much of a good thing.
