Most people have relaxed their New Year’s resolutions. You won’t blame them because the energy and motivation that comes with the season tend to dry out as the months goes by. Resolutions don’t have to at the beginning of the year only, though some people believe it requires so much input to get the desired goals. They can be long hours of hard work or a couple of minutes daily doing simple tasks.
As much as the focus should be on personal, financial, and career development, there is a need to revisit your entire wellbeing. Your skincare routine is in this category. It is one New Year resolution that should never be overlooked. Flawless skin is desirable. It does not only make a person look attractive, but also shows they are healthy and taking good care of themselves.
Here are easy skincare routines to help you have beautiful skin:
- Don’t focus on your face alone
Often, the skincare routine neglects other parts of the body. You shouldn’t stop with your face. Extend your skincare to the neck, knees, elbows, heels, legs, back, knuckles, shoulders, etc. It is good to have an even complexion. If you neglect other parts of the body, you are likely to have a full and uneven appearance.
- Wash your face for at least 60 seconds daily
Having stated that other parts of the body should not be neglected at the expense of the face , you still need to take care of it. The face is the first place of contact with people. Wash your face to remove dirt. Take time to massage your forehead, the bridge of your nose, and temple, your chin, the corners of your lips, and your ears.
- Apply Sunscreen daily
The use of sunscreen may seem over-flogged. We can not deny how sunscreen effectively reduces dark spots and acne scars. It also prevents diseases and reduces the effects of UV Rays responsible for cancerous growths in the body.
- Visit a dermatologist
Many women prefer DIY treatments because they can’t afford the services of dermatologists. The professional ones can be expensive to access. However, it is expected you visit a dermatologist at least yearly for consultation. That way, you get to know the right skin products to use and what you are doing wrong.
- Moisturise! Moisturise! Moisturise!
The body is largely made of water, and it needs this to constantly maintain the skins’s moisture. You should drink enough water to stay hydrated and flush out toxins from your body.
A skin lacking moisture would end up looking dull and dehydrated. Applying moisturiser at night would go a long way to make your skin brighter, more supple, and even.
- Be mindful of what you eat
The saying ‘you are what you eat’ couldn’t be any truer. Your skin reflects what goes into your body. For a well-nourished and bright appearance, you should eat healthily and cut out the junks. Fruits and vegetables give the skin the required nutrients to glow.
