1- Remove makeup without leaving residue
When you want clean and purified skin, it's essential to remove your makeup correctly. If you decide to sleep with your makeup on, it stays on the epidermis and creates a real mask that prevents your skin from breathing. This can lead to numerous breakouts, such as pimples.
To remedy this, the most effective method is: double cleansing. To do this, nothing could be simpler: you need a balm or a makeup removing oil as well as a cleanser. Your skin will then be able to breathe again and will be radiant!
For more details on this method, we invite you to read this article.
2- Use steam to unclog your pores
This is a well-known trick now. The steam bath is a real fountain of youth for the skin. Indeed, steam allows the pores to open, which facilitates the elimination of impurities present on your face. This steam bath prepares your skin for deep cleansing for healthy and radiant skin. This method has other advantages! Indeed, it improves your blood circulation and prevents all sorts of redness.
But how do you do it? There are two methods. The first is simply done with a steamer. You just have to follow the instructions given by your device. If you don't have one, don't panic, we have a solution! Take a hot towel and place it on your face, leaving your nose uncovered and keeping your eyes closed.
However, you shouldn't overdo it, doing it too regularly can harm the skin. Our advice? Do it once a week before your skincare routine for 5 to 10 minutes, no more!
3- Use products adapted to your skin type
Of course, depending on your skin type, you will need to use different products. Not taking into account the nature of your skin can be catastrophic for its health.
But how do you recognize your skin type?
- Dry skin: rather thin skin that is generally accompanied by redness and tightness. They often have few imperfections and do not shine during the day.
- Normal skin: this skin type has no particular problems but may experience variations throughout the seasons.
- Oily skin : rather thick skin with enlarged pores, regular imperfections, or blackheads. In addition, during the day, oily skin tends 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). The rest of the skin will very often be dry.
Not using the right beauty products can therefore prove ineffective and lead to new problems. It is therefore important to do your research on the products you purchase.
Ingredients, formulas, and usage tips are your best allies to guarantee a radiant complexion.
4- Eat healthily
Everyone knows that diet plays a huge role in skin quality. Indeed, depending on the nutrients it receives, it will be more or less healthy with more or fewer imperfections.
The first thing to do is to avoid foods such as:
- Red meat: It causes skin aging when cooked at high temperatures.
- Overly salty dishes: Salt absorbs water, so eating too much salt can cause skin dehydration.
- Overly spicy dishes: Spices are likely to cause redness.
- Dairy products: this type of product tends to be inflammatory and therefore promotes acne.
Conversely, here are foods good for your health and your skin:
- Nuts against excess sebum
- Dark chocolate for its anti-inflammatory properties
- Red fruits
- Carrots
- Green vegetables very antioxidant
- Orange fruits (apricots, mangoes…)
- 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 your epidermal cells regenerate more regularly. This is why exfoliation is important to remove dead cells 😉.
The results? Radiant, healthy skin.
But hydration doesn't just mean water. Green tea is also a very good way to hydrate. Indeed, it stimulates blood circulation, which further accelerates the regeneration of your cells.
The liquids that should be consumed sparingly are quite obvious:
- Milk,
- Alcohol,
- Sugary drinks.
6- Use natural products
Using natural products is one of the best ways to naturally treat your skin.
Why?
Because natural products have a naturally higher content of vitamins and active ingredients than classic industrial products.
When certified organic and natural, beauty products are environmentally friendly and provide you with complete care.
7- Don't touch your face too often
You know it, I know it, we know it, hands are a bit of a "germ nest" for your body. Indeed, 80% of bacteria are transmitted through 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 need to 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 throughout your day as well. We are not talking about exfoliating or applying serum. We are simply talking about rinsing your skin of impurities and external aggressions with clear water.
It refreshes your skin and your mind at the same time, it's a win-win.
9- Avoid external aggressions
One of the primary causes of skin aging and impurities on the skin: pollution. But we can also mention other external aggressions that require your attention:
- Rain,
- Food,
- Drinks,
- Dust,
- Clothes,
- Smoke,
- ...
These aggressions may seem harmless, but, put together, they end up having a truly harmful effect on the skin.
Protecting yourself as much as possible from these situations can allow you to improve the texture and health of your skin.
10- Carefully clean objects that touch your face
You use many objects daily. Some of them can be dirty or poorly cleaned and contain many bacteria. It's 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 objects that require regular cleaning:
- Makeup brushes,
- Glasses,
- Mobile phone,
- Jewelry,
- ...
In most cases, a disinfectant product and a reusable paper towel will do the trick. However, for makeup brushes, you will need to clean and dry them with more care to prevent bacteria from growing.
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 sunscreen or a facial 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 purify afterward.
12- Don't purify your skin TOO often
This is what they never tell you. Your skin is covered with a hydrolipidic film that prevents harmful microorganisms from entering. However, when we cleanse our face too intensely (repeated exfoliation, overly abrasive cleansing, etc.), or when we use products unsuited to our skin type, this barrier can be damaged.
Therefore, it is necessary to respect the usage recommendations for your skincare products and not overuse them to avoid damaging your skin.
Bonus Tips: check the maximum usage duration of your cosmetic
This is THE advice you won't find anywhere else 😏. Did you know that a pictogram indicates the shelf life of your product?
