I grew up with a somewhat a not so healthy skin. My skin would consistently break out and leave a lot of dark marks as a result. I had to make a few adjustments to my routine for a better and healthier looking skin.
If you have a problem controlling acne and are sick and tired of hearing 'drink more water', then you and I are in the same boat, so hop on and let's get sharing healthy skin tips. My skin still breaks from time to time but a whole lot better now and the spots have gotten better too. Here are a few adjustments I made for a healthier skin:Double Cleanse Twice a Day
The face is mostly the most exposed part of our bodies to the environment and sometimes the our environment isn't friendly. With the sun, winds, dust, physical contact and so much more that we often come across in a day, the least one can do is clean all of that off.
To cleanse, I like to use a product that carries some Vitamin C or Aloe Vera to help with the fairness in complexion and softness.
Primer Before Makeup
I used to put some face cream and moving straight to foundation instead of a primer first. A primer basically helps to prepare and protect skin from the chemicals found in makeup, especially foundation as it is set throughout the whole face. My face would get a little dry and break out even more from that specifically.
Now I know not to mess with some of the processes necessary to protect my skin.
UV Rays Protection
A sunscreen is good, but it's even better when it's SPF50. To further protect my skin from the rays, I try not to be out in the sun too long even when I have my sunscreen on. If I have to be in the sun too long then I make use of additional measures such as wearing a cap or hat or a long sleeve vest to help me keep safe. Sunscreen is the plan A and the backup plan to protect my skin from sun damage.
Face Cream
Knowing what type of skin you have narrows down the types of products you need. Is your skin oily or dry or neither? I have a relatively oily skin and use products that help with that but I always make sure my creams carry some Vitamin C to keep my complexion in check and also tone down the harshness of the dark marks on my face. While I'm still working on getting rid of the dark marks, there's no reason to hate myself.
I had a dermatologist break the pimples I had on my face in the past and their products still haven't helped me in any way! Now I keep my hands away from my face because I've learned the hard way.
Picking at pimples is just a call for more problems. Keep from popping pimples and casually touching your face.
Makeup OFF!
Some of the common causes of skin breakouts include wearing makeup for very long hours and that may include going to bed in makeup. The skin has pores and pores don't need chemicals all the time, they need to breathe to basically work well.
Extra tip: remember to watch what you eat. Too much sugary and oily foods are usually bad for the skin. Most importantly, a healthy skin is better than the 'perfect' one. Hope these help. What is your top daily beauty routine to keeping your skin healthy? Share with me in the comments.
Great tips! I really struggle with acne, so I already do many of these. I need to get better at double cleansing though, thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteIt great that you're already doing some of these. The double cleansing works well, give it a go! :)
DeleteI don't double cleanse but I do have a full skincare routine that I always do, day and night. I cannot bare to go to bed with any make up on, I hate it!
ReplyDeleteA solid skincare routine that works is awesome! Makeup jalways sorry of feels heavy on the skin after a few hours, no matter how lightweight it initially is. At least for me anyway.
DeleteI have stopped putting my hands in my face once I realized the oil from my hands could cause my skin to break out. Putting your hands in your face can also cause you to get sick as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing to keep hands off of the face. I'm happy you're keeping away! :)
DeleteThese are some really great tips! I definitely agree with double cleansing, it is the best way at removing all traces of makeup on the skin before the other skincare steps! X
ReplyDeleteRight? A clean skin is needed before applying anything on.
DeleteGreat tips! I’ve struggled with acne prone skin since I was a teenager due to my PCOS and my diet has great changed and improved this. I also integrated a toner to apply before my face cream and it’s done wonders. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that some change in your diet improved your skin. Acne prone skin needs care. A right toner brings a good change!
DeleteThese skincare tips are so important, I double cleanse in the evening (especially after wearing makeup) as it does help my skin feel resfreshed before bedtime x

Deletewow, these are super helpful tips. Do you have any recommendations for toner? I would love to look more into this great really appreciate your suggestions thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFor a toner, I like to go for the organic ones. I've not been lucky finding those on shelves. I've tried the ones with Rooibos and I was terrible, but I'm counting on the ones that scream "I'm natural" and "I've got vitamin C". Vitamin C helps with inflammation and scars. If you have acne prone skin that also sensitive, it's better to avoid toners with alcohol and preservatives. 😊
DeleteThere are some really great tips and reminders here. I have luckily found a skincare regimen that suits me I just need to make sure I am consistent with keeping up on it. As I get older I need to make sure I look after my skin — thanks for this!
