There are so many skin products out on the market that claim to banish fine lines and wrinkles, as well as diminish signs of aging. But to really see an improvement in your skin, it isn’t enough to just use a couple of products throughout your week. It takes some changes that will start with you. So here are some healthy skin habits that you should be looking into if you want to have skin that looks and feels good, no matter what your age.
Protect From The Sun
The harmful UV rays of the sun can damage our skin quite considerably. They can really make our skin age too. So it makes complete sense to look for ways to protect our skin from these harmful rays. Use makeup that has an SPF factor in it, as well as using sunscreen daily. You can still get sunburn when it is overcast, so it should be part of your beauty regime all year round. You should cover up when in bright sunshine too, using a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
Spot Corrector
If you have any sunspots where your skin has been damaged by the sun, then looking for a dark spot corrector to remove pigmentation can be a great idea. It will clear the marks away over time, making your skin look much more youthful. Sunspots can be a sign of damage and aging skin. But if you don’t have any, it will make your skin look more youthful.
Get Plenty of Sleep
There is a reason why the phrase ‘getting beauty sleep’ is a thing! The more sleep that you’re able to get, the better your skin will look and feel. Sleep gives your body the chance to heal itself and repair, which is what you need as you get older and as your skin does too.
Drink Plenty of Water
As well as using a moisturizer on your skin, one of the best things that you can do is to moisturize your skin from the inside by drinking plenty of water. It will help your body to be working at its optimum, which will help repair. But it will also help to flush toxins out of your body and help your skin to look clean and clear. A must for aging skin!
Stop Smoking
If you are a smoker then it is time to quit. Not only can it cause damage to your health in many different ways, but it wreaks havoc on the condition of your skin. Smoking can lead to more lines and wrinkles on your face, as well as reducing the elasticity of your skin. This can make it harder for your skin to repair itself, as well as lead to leathery skin.
Always Remove Makeup
This is one of the cardinal sins of skincare; not removing your makeup! When you don’t, it can lead to clogged pores, as well as dirt and grime simply sitting on your skin. Washing your face at least twice daily is a must for good skin as you age.
