How to Take Care of Your Skin
We often wonder it is so easy for models to get beautiful glowing skin, but why is it difficult for us? Skin care is not only a routine that one should follow; it’s a complete process. A process that needs to be followed correctly and regularly. Some ways in which you can take care of your skin are as follows:
Keeping Your Skin Soft, Clean, and Moisturized:
Wash your face twice every day to keep it oil-free, improve complexion, and prevent breakouts. You should wash your face when you get up in the morning and before going to bed. Use lukewarm water and a facial cleanser/face wash that suits your skin type. If you have acne-prone oily skin, Clovia Anti-Acne Face Wash can be a good option. Follow up with some toner and moisturizer. Remember to remove your makeup properly. Never forget to clean the skin on your neck.
Avoid Hot Water:
Avoid hot water while showering. Use lukewarm water. Even though hot water can feel relaxing, it can also strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dry, patchy skin. Use a moisturizing body wash with natural oils, such as almond, coconut, or olive oil if you have dry skin.
Apply moisturizer on damp skin:
One should always apply moisturizer or lotion while their skin is still damp. Make sure to change the type of moisturizer/lotion/cream you use depending on the season. Use a heavier, richer moisturizer/lotion during the winter, and go for a lighter one during summers. Consider a moisturizer that contains SPF to guard your skin against the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Exfoliation:
Exfoliation is vital. Exfoliating your skin once a week at the minimum will help wash away those dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling fresh and smooth. When you use scrubs, loofahs, and exfoliating sponges, make sure to use a gentler exfoliator on your face than on the rest of your body. Remember, the skin on your face is much more sensitive than the skin on your arms and legs.
Choose the products wisely:
Always use the products that perfectly suit your skin type. Go through the product labels carefully, especially if you have sensitive skin. Remember that not every ingredient in skincare products is safe for your skin. Avoid products containing ingredients like parabens, propylene glycol, phthalates, and sodium lauryl sulfate. If you have sensitive skin, buy and use fragrance-free products. It is always safe to use ayurvedic skin hair products as per your skin tone. Clovia Skivia can be a good choice.
Eating and Drinking for Healthier Skin:
It is going to sound cliche, but yes drinking lots of water is the key. Drink 6 to 8-ounce glasses of water every day. Try it for a week, and observe the improvements. It will leave your skin youthful, bright, and glowing. Drinking plenty of water may also help reduce acne and keep your skin looking clear, as water flushes out the toxins from your body. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. They are not only good for your body, but they are great for your skin as well. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Include the following in your diet:
- Avocados- help hydrate your skin
- Carrots- they help improve complexion
- Pumpkin and kiwi – they help keep your skin soft, smooth, and youthful
- Tomatoes – they help protect your skin against sun damage
Dark Chocolates:
Who doesn’t love chocolates? Dark chocolates are beneficial in the process of skincare. Eat dark chocolates but in moderation. Chocolate is generally seen as unhealthy, but if you stick to 1-ounce or 15-gram portions, you can get all its benefits without gaining weight. It contains antioxidants that hydrate the skin. It also helps in improving skin texture and appearance and prevents acne and aging.
Improving Your Lifestyle:
Your skin quality depends a lot on your lifestyle. Getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night is necessary. Not getting enough sleep can make your skin unhealthy and appear dull. It can also result in dark circles, bags, or shadows under your eyes. Getting enough sleep reduces wrinkles and under-eye puffiness. It will also improve your skin quality, giving you a healthy, glowing complexion.
Here were some of the ways by which you can take proper care of your skin. You are a queen, and your skin needs to be treated in the same way.
