Understand the needs of your skin
It’s a very well known fact that our skin’s needs keep changing with time and season. Your skin reacts differently to different weathers. For instance, winter leaves the skin excessively dry, hence the need to include hydrating ingredients and products in a skincare routine. One of the first resolutions to make in regards to your skin this year is to take good care of your skin and to be able to do so, you need to build an effective skincare routine. But before you build your skincare routine, make sure to take a good look at your skin to see if you are dealing with any kind of issue at the start of every season. After understanding the concerns, you can include those products in your routine that will help tackle the issues.
Avoid picking at your skin
While it might be a bit tempting to pick at your skin or pop a pimple, it’s better to leave them be and let your pimple heal on its own. Popping a pimple or picking at your skin is undoubtedly one of the worst skincare habits; it not only leads to scarring but also delays the healing process of blemishes. You should avoid touching your face unnecessarily, breaking this habit would certainly make a huge difference in your skin. And make sure your hands are clean whenever you have to touch your face.
Massage your face
A nice and relaxing massage can work absolute wonders for your skin. Aside from indulging in regular face massage, you should massage the skincare products on your skin instead of dragging or dabbing them. The right way to massage your face is by pulling your skin upwards. This practice won’t only allow better absorption of skincare products and boost blood circulation but will also help to tone and relax your facial muscles, thereby making your face look glowing and healthy.
Go minimal
Whether it’s makeup or skincare, people have been embracing the minimalism trend, which means using minimal and basic products only. Some women like to keep their skincare routine pretty elaborate, but you can consider taking a break from that and embrace minimalism instead. A basic CTM routine and sunscreen is perfect for daytime, and when it comes to a nighttime skincare routine, you should use a serum containing ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, and other potent ingredients to deal with your skin woes
Keep yourself hydrated
Believe it or not, most of your skin issues are a direct result of a lack of hydration in the skin. Drinking plenty of water every day can help address these problems. You should keep drinking fluids throughout the day, the objective is to flush toxins out of the body, which in turn, will resolve most of your skin concerns and make your skin look clear and healthy.
