You don’t need a 40-step Korean skincare regime to have great skin, you just need to adopt some good habits that’ll help you start seeing results.
1. Apply Sunscreen (The Right Way)
Most of us love it when the summer months come and we can get outside a lot more often.
But the sun can seriously age us.
So to make sure you’re still enjoying the warmer months, but not damaging your skin, make sure to apply sunscreen whenever you’re out in the sun.
So How Often Should You Apply It?
Well according to John Hopkins, if you’re swimming or sweating, every 2 hours. But, if you’re indoors and not near a window, “you may not need a second application.”
2. Exfoliate (The Right Way)
Most women have a great skincare routine for their faces but don’t forget about the rest of your body too!
It’s a great way to exfoliate dead skin cells and look a whole lot fresher!
According to Healthline, here’s how often you should do it according to your skin type:
- For the dry or sensitive skin type: 1-2 times a week
- For the oily or acne-prone skin type: 2-3 times a week
- For the combination skin type: 2 times a week
- For more mature skin: 2 times a week
3. Get Enough Sleep
I know this one sounds tricky since us women tend to have a pretty hectic life, but sleeping is crucial to skin health.
Lack of sleep can seriously affect how you look.
Here’s what this study says about it, “The faces of sleep deprived individuals were perceived as having more hanging eyelids, redder eyes, more swollen eyes, darker circles under the eyes, paler skin, more wrinkles/fine lines, and more droopy corners of the mouth.”
4. Drink Water
Hydration is key for all areas of health, but water can also improve the look and feel of your skin and prevent dryness, in both hot and cold weather.
5. Quit Smoking
For those of you who smoke, you’re probably aware of the harm this is doing to your organs.
But what you may not know is you that are also harming your skin.
This is one habit you should not have if you want to have amazing skin (although I think your overall health is the most important).
6. Testing Out What Foods Break Out Your Skin
Eating a healthy balanced diet is always gonna be great for your health and skin, but you might want to take it a step further.
Instead of just taking in healthier foods, take some out of your diet and see what might be affecting your skin in a negative way.
Example:
I found last year that whenever I consistently took in dairy, I’d break out bad. But once I stopped, the breakouts were essentially non-existent.
