5 Easy Habits Of Women With Healthy Skin

1. Cleansing Properly

Cleansing the skin daily is an absolute must, especially if a woman is wearing makeup every day. The dirt and grime collected on the skin can cause breakouts, so make sure you do it as part of your daily routine.

This is especially important before sleeping, as this is the time when skin needs to breathe properly. A proper cleaner is also of the utmost importance. The best ones for oily skin would be a benzoyl peroxide wash or salicylic gel. If you have dry skin, a moisturizing cleanser or cleansing milk is best.

Moreover, if your skin has brown spots or an uneven tone, a brightening cleanser with an alpha hydroxyl acid base is best.

2. Drinking Smart

Coffee or tea is admittedly a lifesaver in the morning. However, this habit has a very negative effect on your skin. The same goes for downing alcoholic beverages on the regular.

Women with healthy skin are careful to drink the right liquids. Some even go so far as to drink a bit of chlorophyll first thing in the morning. This hydrates the skin while also refreshing and brightening it. This habit also serves to soothe puffiness and generally smoothen out the skin.

Chlorophyll supplements are also available for those who downtown feel like taking it as a beverage.

Another popular skin enhancer is green juice. This is made by throwing some veggies in a blender, with some water to help the liquefying process. An apple in the mixture wouldn’t hurt either.

In general, keeping hydrated is essential to maintaining good skin. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and sip it throughout the day. It flushes out the toxins in your system and brightens up that face!

3. Taking In The Proper Nutrients

Retaining the right amount of moisture is important when trying to achieve lovely skin. For this, one needs to have a proper intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately, our bodies cannot produce this chemical on its own. Hence we have to turn to flax seeds and walnuts for this essential ingredient.

At the same time, it is also important to consume food with a low glycemic index. This means starchy foods are not your friend. White flour, white rice, and sugary processed foods are a no-no when it comes to your skin.

4. Moisturizing

After the cleaning part is done, moisturizing comes next. This should be on the everyday list of things to do. Without the proper moisturization, our skin could quickly lose moisture, develop wrinkles, or have overly active oil glands.

It is best to moisturize right after you shower or wash your face. However, you should be careful not to dry your face with a towel or paper napkin before you put on moisturizer. Leave it to air dry a little and then apply a gentle and unscented moisturizing lotion or cream. This helps the moisture to remain inside the skin. Moisturizing before bed is also a great way to wake up with glowing skin.

5. No Touching The Face

When we have breakouts, blackheads, or dryness, it can be tempting to poke at our faces. Popping pimples and scratching off acne scars are two dangerous habits that could flaw your skin for life. Hence, keep those fingers and hands away from the face!

Touching your face too much can cause even more breakouts. It can also lead to more wrinkles and even get you down with the flu. This is exactly why renowned dermatologists severely advise against hands touching the face, no matter how clean you think they are.

Wrap-Up…

Skin problems can lead to feelings of low self-esteem, under-confidence, and antisocial behavior in general. It is a relief to know that one doesn’t have to invest in expensive and potentially harmful creams and treatments. The path to clear, glowing and healthy skin lies in a little bit of willpower and care. Basically, one needs to be kind to the skin, and it would reward you back multifold!

The above tips will hopefully help you establish a proper skincare routine for yourself. This would not only keep your skin beautiful but do so in a natural and safe manner.
