It seems with our busy schedules and hectic lives we forget the simple things, like taking care of our bodies, skin, and over all health. So here are 5 easy tips to help with everyday skincare...
Always wear sunscreen with at least a SPF15 or higher (30 is recommended) to avoid premature aging and sun damage. The easiest way to do this is to use moisturizer and/or foundation with built in SPF.
Don't forget to moisturize! There are so many moisturizers on the market your skin type. Use moisturizer during the day that can go under your makeup, and don't forget to reapply at night while you sleep, when skin is more absorbent. To lock in the moisture, make sure to apply it while skin is still damp.
Let's not forget one of the simplest daily routines, drinking water. Water hydrates skin and cleans out harmful toxins. Drink the recommend 8 glasses of 8oz per day. Dehydrated skin has a tendency to look worn and lined, whereas hydrated skin looks vibrant and healthy.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. These are high in antioxidants and help provide protection against the environment.
Last but not least, a good nights sleep. When you are in your deepest stage of sleep, cell and tissue repair begins. Limited or restless sleep cuts into this restorative process. To attain a good night's sleep, try doing something that relaxes you, whether it be listening to relaxing music, reading a book, or taking a warm bath.
So don't forget to take care of yourself and your skin.
Happy skincare,
