There is nothing like having great skin, not only does it form a good base for makeup, but also makes the person glow. To have great skin is not rocket science, it is formed in our daily routines. The following are 10 great skincare routine habits for women:
1. Wash your hands before touching your face
The hands can easily pick up germs and bacteria during the day and night. This is why it is necessary to always wash your hands before touching your face.
2. Don’t use your hands to scoop out products from containers
As a follow-up to the previous point, the hands can easily carry germs. You don’t want them to mix with products that you apply to your skin. Instead, use a spatula to scoop products from jars.
3. Change your pillowcase often
How often do you change your pillowcases? Our pillowcases carry residues from our hair products to sweat and other germs we do not see, so make sure you change them as often as possible.
4. Stop popping pimples
This is a bad habit. Once you stop, you would notice a tremendous change in the reappearance of pimples on your face.
5. Don’t allow the dropper to touch your face
Are you using a face serum or cream? If yes, make sure your dropper is far from your face.
6. Check the expiry dates of products before use
Most times we use products for such a long time that we fail to check the expiration dates on them before purchase.
7. Wash your masks
If you are using face masks, endeavour to wash them regularly or use new ones.
8. Wear no makeup
You don’t have to wait for a no makeup challenge before indulging in this. Allow your face to breathe once in a while without makeup.
9. Eliminate stress
Stress produces breakouts. To combat stress, make sure you are getting enough rest and drinking tons of water.
10. Use hydrating, healing products and mild cleansers
Ditch using harsh products on your skin. Instead use hydrating, healing and mild cleansers for best results.
