Taking care of skin is important because it helps to keep it healthy and looking good. Do you know that skin is the largest organ of a human body and it protects us from the environment, but face skin is the thinnest skin that can be easily damaged if not taken care of properly! As per dermatologists, first signs of ageing start to show around the age of 25.
So, the best time to start taking care of your skin is now! It's never too early or too late to start with skincare tips.
Let’s see the tips below and how they can help you look young forever…
Use Sunscreen Everyday
Have you ever thought why some people's skin is so even-toned, meaning that their hands and face have the same level of brightness and there is no hyperpigmentation?
It's because they use sunscreen every day. In sunscreen, there are ingredients like octinoxate, homosalate, zinc oxide, and many others that help protect the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun, whether you're indoors or outdoors.
These ingredients prevent the harmful sun rays from penetrating the skin, which can cause hyperpigmentation, skin cancer, premature ageing, sunburns, skin discoloration, and other harmful effects in the long term.
That's why it's important to use sunscreen every day, whether you're indoors or outdoors.
- What's the right time to apply sunscreen?
Of course sunscreens aren’t something to be applied at night so the best time to apply it is in the morning, and make sure to apply it at least 20 minutes before going outside so that it can rest properly on your face and give best results.
- How to apply sunscreen properly?
Apply a generous amount of sunscreen to ensure that your face is well-covered. Don’t forget the neck and ear area as they are normally ignored by numerous people which can affect your overall appearance.
Stop washing face everyday
If you wash your face every day, the face's natural oils and barriers will start to disappear and don't wash the face often until its too necessary as these oils and barriers are the reason for keeping the face youthful and bouncy.
Therefore, you should only wash your face daily if you don't work from home because, obviously, if you go outside, you will need to wash away the dust, but when you work from home, it is best to wash the face on alternative days.
Even if you want to wash your face every day, wash it with a gentle cleanser because hard cleansers can make your skin dry, dull, and sensitive because they don't contain safe chemicals.
While washing your face, try to use only your fingers because the pressure of fingers is less than the pressure of the palm.
Exfoliate once a week
It is very important to exfoliate the face & body once a week.
Why?
Because a human's skin has to face so many dust particles every day, which stick to it and create dead skin inside. That's why it is advised to exfoliate the face or body at least once a week, with chemical exfoliation rather than physical exfoliation...
Because chemical exfoliation exfoliates the skin to the extent it needs to be exfoliated and also irritates less than physical one.
Though There are many chemical exfoliants available in the market, which are beginner-friendly, but do not apply anything without consulting a dermatologist if your face is sensitive or acne-prone.
Use Moisturizer
Moisturizing is the key to having that perfect moisturized, glowy face as it helps to prevents dryness and flakiness on the face after washing it.
Moisturizers hydrates the surface layer of skin, protecting it from losing its natural oils almost like sealing the skin.
However, Just as moisturising is important, it is also important to know which moisturiser can better moisturise your skin because just like a small size top cannot fit every body, skin texture and quality also vary. It is not necessary that if your skin is dry, a moisturiser made for oily skin will suit you, what will suit you is the one made for dry skin. That's why, before spending your money on any moisturiser, know your skin type.
You must apply moisturiser after every time you wash your face, this is the most general and effective rule!
Stop Touching Your Face
If you touch your face repeatedly, please stop!
Why?
Because your hands are the dirtiest part of a human's body. We work and go out and don't realize how many times our hands touch dirty places and things that can easily spread bacteria on our face and cause more and more acne. Only touch your face after washing them while applying skincare. It could be nearly impossible to do so, but it is the best way to get dark spots and acne free face!
Massage Your Face and Body
Massaging the face is another way of getting an uplift and youthful face. Koreans do this all the time, especially while applying moisturiser or serums. There are many benefits of face messaging. For example, face massage helps improve blood flow, which gives your face a healthy glow. Signs of ageing such as saggy neck, cheekbones etc.
Body massage is just as important as face massage if you want your skin to look uplifted from head to toe. You should massage your face daily, but if you're too busy, even doing it 2-3 times a week will make a difference.
