1- Remove makeup without leaving any residue
When you want to have clear and purified skin, it is essential to remove your makeup properly. If you decide to sleep with your makeup on, it remains on the epidermis and creates a real mask that prevents your skin from breathing. This can cause many skin breakouts, such as pimples for example.
To remedy this, the most effective solution is: double cleansing. For this, nothing could be simpler: you need to use a balm or a cleansing oil as well as a cleanser. Your skin will then be able to breathe again and will look radiant!
For more details on this method, we invite you to read this article.
2- Use steam to unclog your pores
This is now a well-known tip. The steam bathis a true rejuvenation treatment for the skin. In fact, steam allows the pores to open, making it easier to remove impurities present on your face. This steam bath prepares your skin for a deep cleanse, resulting in healthy and radiant skin. This method has other advantages! Indeed, it improves your blood circulation and prevents all kinds of redness.
But how do you do it? There are two methods. The first is simply done with a steamer. You just need to follow the instructions provided by your device.If you don't have one, don't panic, we have a solution! Take a warm towel and place it on your face while keeping your nose uncovered and your eyes closed.
However, do not overdo it, doing it too regularly can irritate the skin. Our advice? Do it once a week before your skincare routine for 5 to 10 minutes, no more!
3- Use products suitable for your skin type
Obviously, depending on your skin type, you will need to use different products. Not taking your skin type into account can be disastrous for its health.
But how do you recognize your skin type?
- Dry Skin: a fairly thin skin that is generally accompanied by redness and tightness. It often has few imperfections and does not shine during the day.
- Normal Skin: this skin type does not have any particular problems but may experience variations throughout the seasons.
- Oily Skin : a rather thick skin with enlarged pores, regular imperfections or even blackheads.Moreover, during the day, oily skin has an unfortunate tendency to shine!
- Combination Skin: this skin type has the characteristics of oily skin but only in the T-zone of the face (forehead, nose, and chin). As for the rest of the skin, it will very often be dry.
Not using the right beauty productscan therefore prove ineffective and lead to new problems. It is therefore important to be well informed about the products you are purchasing.
The ingredients, formulas, and usage tips are your best allies to ensure a radiant complexion.
4- Eat healthily
Everyone knows it, diet plays a huge role in skin quality. Yes, depending on the nutrients it receives, your skin will be more or less healthy with more or fewer imperfections.
The first thing to do is therefore to avoid foods such as:
- Red meat: it causes skin aging when cooked at high temperatures.
- Foods that are too salty:salt absorbs water, so eating too much salt can cause skin dryness.
- Foods that are too spicy:spices can cause redness.
- Dairy products : this type of product tends to be inflammatory and therefore can contribute to acne.
Conversely, here are some foods that are good for your health and your skin:
-
- Nuts to fight excess sebum
-
- Dark chocolate for its anti-inflammatory properties
- Red fruits - Carrots - Green vegetables very rich in antioxidants - Orange fruits (apricots, mangoes, etc.) - Citrus fruits for vitamins - Fatty fish for omega 3
5- Drink plenty of water
Hydration is one of the keys to healthy skin.Water helps the cells of your epidermis regenerate more regularly. That is why exfoliation is important to remove dead cells 😉.
The results? Radiant, healthy skin.
But hydration does not mean only water. Green teais also a very good way to stay hydrated. In fact, it stimulates blood circulation, which further accelerates the regeneration of your cells.
The liquids that should be consumed in moderation are quite obvious:
- Milk,
- Alcohol,
- Sugary drinks.
6- Use natural products
Using natural products is one of the best ways to care for your skin naturally.
Why?
Because natural productshave a naturally higher content of vitamins and active ingredients than conventional industrial products.
When they are certified organic, while also being natural, beauty productsare environmentally friendly and provide you with complete care.
7- Do not touch your face too frequently
You know it, I know it, we all know it: hands are somewhat the "breeding ground for germs" on your body. In fact, 80% of bacteria are transmitted via our hands. It is therefore natural that they can leave impurities on your skin if you touch it too often.
To prevent this from happening, you should disinfect your hands regularly while being careful not to touch your face too much.
8- Rinse your face with clear water at least once a day
You may clean your face every day in your bathroom.But remember to take care of your skin during your day as well. We're not talking about exfoliatingor applying serum. We're simply talking about rinsing your skin with clear water to remove impurities and external aggressors.
It refreshes your skin and your mind at the same time, it's a win-win.
9- Avoid external aggressors
One of the main causes of skin aging and impurities on the skin: pollution.But we can also mention other external aggressions that require your attention:
- Rain,
- Food,
- Beverages,
- Dust,
- Clothing,
- Smoke,
- ...
These aggressions may seem harmless, but, when combined, they end up having a truly harmful effect on the skin.
Protecting yourself from these situations as much as possible can help you improve the texture and health of your skin.
10- Thoroughly clean the objects you put on your face
You use many objects on a daily basis. Some of them may be dirty or poorly cleaned and contain numerous bacteria. It is important to pay attention to this since some of them are in contact with your skin throughout the day.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of items that require regular cleaning:
- Makeup brushes,
- Glasses,
- Mobile phone,
- Jewelry,
- ...
In most cases, a disinfectant product and a reusable paper towel will do the job perfectly. However, in the case of makeup brushes, you will need to clean and dry them more carefully to prevent bacteria from developing.
11- Use sun protection
An invisible yet very real external aggression, UV rays . The primary cause of skin aging and also the only one that is inevitable. But you can protect yourself from it.
By using a sunscreenor a face cream that protects you from the sun, you reduce the impact it will have on your skin. Skin that stays young is skin that is easier to purifyafterwards.
12- Do not purify your skin TOO often
This is what you are never told.Your skin is covered with a hydrolipidic film that prevents harmful microorganisms from penetrating and affecting your health. Only when we cleanse our face too intensely (repeated exfoliation, overly abrasive cleansing, etc.), or use products unsuitable for our skin type, can this barrier become damaged.
Therefore, it is important to follow the usage instructions for your skincare products and not overuse them to avoid damaging your skin.
Bonus Tips: check the maximum usage period of your cosmetic product
This is THE tip you won't see anywhere else 😏. Did you know that a pictogram informs you about the lifespan of your product?
To use a product that always retains its qualities and benefits, make sure it is not expired.
