With the start of a new year, it’s always important to make resolutions that will help improve both your physical and mental health. One thing you should add to your list is taking better care of your skin! Taking proper skincare steps can profoundly change the quality and appearance of your complexion—from reducing wrinkles and dark spots to hydration levels. In this blog post, we will be exploring four simple tips that you can apply throughout 2021 to ensure healthy, glowing skin for years to come.
Get the Right Product for Your Skin
The first tip on this list, if you are looking to improve
your skin in 2023 but don’t want to get bogged down by too many details, would
be to get the right product for your skin. Often, when people are buying a
skincare product, they don’t take into consideration that they have a very
specific skin type.
Unfortunately, if you buy a skincare product that is not
meant to be used with your specific skin type, you aren’t going to be getting
the results you are looking for, and you might end up making any potential
problems worse. For example, finding cleansers that are especially suited to
your skin type is an excellent way to get started. Such cleansers will help
clear away dirt and oil, leaving you with glowing, healthy skin. Additionally,
look for a cleanser with gentle ingredients that combat
environmental pollutants while also moisturizing and nourishing your skin. If
you're unsure of which cleanser is right for you, consult a skin care expert
who can advise you on the best product choice.
Don’t Use Too Many Products
The next tip on this list is one of the simplest tips that
you can follow if you want to improve your skin in 2023, and that’s to not use
too many products. If you are new to skincare maintenance or looking after your
skin, your first thought is probably to get as many products as you possibly
can, since the more products you use, the better your skin will be.
However, this is one of the worst things that you could do.
The best thing, funnily enough, is to keep things as simple as possible. At
most, you should be looking to use between 3 to 4 products for your skin. This
is because your skin is quite sensitive, and if you use too many products, you
are going to exacerbate existing problems and create new ones.
Have a Healthy Diet
One of the most important things that you’re going to have
to do if you want to improve your skin this year, and something that is also
relatively simple to do, is to have a healthy diet. There is an expression that
goes, “You are what you eat,” and in terms of skincare, this is quite accurate.
You are probably thinking that having a healthy diet means that you won’t be able
to enjoy the things that you love, however, this isn’t exactly true.
The first thing that you should know when talking about a
diet is that everything needs to be consumed in moderation. More importantly,
there are foods that you should try to eat less of and foods that you should
try to eat more of. The list is quite extensive, so it would be worth your
while to Google it and see for yourself.
Wash Your Hands and Phone
Another incredibly simple tip on this list to improve the
quality of your skin would be to wash your hands as well as wipe down your
phone throughout the day. If you are prone to breakouts, this is mainly caused
when your pores are clogged or if bacteria gets into your pores. Having said
that, you probably touch many things throughout the day and then touch your
face, meaning you are transferring bacteria constantly.
In addition to this, you are also most likely using your
phone quite often throughout the day, which means that you are touching it with
the same hands that you use to touch many other things. This in turn transfers
the dirt and bacteria from your hands to your phone, and if you make phone
calls, you will be transferring the dirt and bacteria from your phone to your
face. At first, this might be a little bit challenging, but after a while, it
will become part of your routine.
