There
are some key things that are universal in regards to skin care that we should
ALL be incorporating into our daily routines regardless of what skin type we
have. And they are.....
Take
it off!
No matter how tired you are after a long day at work
or night on the town, always remove your make up before going to bed. Our skin
needs time to breathe to help repair its self, so for more radiant skin when
you wake up take it off!
Protect
yourself
As we all know UV rays is one of the leading factors
in the signs of premature ageing. To help combat this always wear an SPF! Even
in those miserable winter months UV rays can still damage the skin, the easiest
way to ensure protection all year round is to use a moisturiser with an SPF in
it and if you don’t already have one then now is the time to get one.
Get
scrubbing
Exfoliating every 3-5 days, depending on your skin’s
needs, helps to improve the condition of your complexion by removing any dead
cells from the surface of your skin that can make it look dull and encouraging
the growth of new cells.
Make
it smooth
We should all be moisturising day and night. Use a
light moisturiser (with an SPF) during the day and a heavier more intense cream
in the evening. One thing we all worry about is those pesky signs of ageing but
if you have started to notice fine lines the chances are your skin is
dehydrated. Your moisturiser will help protect and nourish your skin so make
sure your get some on! And don’t forget our skin has different needs in the
different seasons so for the dreary winter months invest in a heavier
moisturiser for added protection against the elements.
Keep
drinking
You know what they say, the old ones are the best.
Well in this case it happens to be true; drinking at least 2 litres of water a
day can really help brighten your complexion. The body needs water to generate
new cells, keep it hydrated and to flush out any nasty toxins. Buy ensuring you
get those 2 litres you can work towards curing a number of skin woes from dry
flaky skin to reducing break outs, so keep drinking.
Upgrade
your regime
Have you been using that same old skin care regime
that is not working as well as it once was? It’s time for an upgrade. Our skin
is constantly changing throughout our lives so if you have been using that
trusty moisturiser for the past 10 years then perhaps the time has come to part
ways and try something new.
