Spare skincare tips 👀 been working on myself and just got done finding the right hair routine and skincare is next and so scary! I wash my face with facial wipes and that's it (plus lotion after showers 😌) sos 😭
Yesss we love the self improvement!! Congrats on finding your hair care routine babes! ❤️ So I can’t tell you the proper skin care products to use since everyone’s skin is different! But, I can give you some general tips:
1. WASH YOUR FACE BEFORE BEDTIME!! Get rid of all the excess dirt, oils and debris from throughout the day so you can wake up refreshed.
2. Use sulfate free cleansers. Lather on the products with your fingertips. Avoid using a face towel because that can be a bit too rough for sensitive skin.
3. AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE!!! You may get the urge to touch your face, but this is more damaging than beneficial! Dirt and bacteria get in your pores when you do this, causing sometimes clogging and major breakouts.
4. EXFOLIATE, but don’t over exfoliate. Your skin NEEDS dead cells removed in order to flourish and glow and thrive. But, don’t over exfoliate daily to the point of causing irritation or skin tone differences.
5. Toner! This is essential for skin hydration and moisturizing.
6. Minimize oil based products. Once again, this can cause clogging and breakouts if over used on acne prone skin!
7. SUNSCREEN!!! This is VITAL. Even as a person of colour. ESPECIALLY as a person of colour. Your skin needs SPF-30! Lack of SPF may cause sun damage and other health concerns.
8. Eat healthy. Your diet alters every change inward and outward on your body. A poor diet may contribute to breakouts and clogged pores. Put that chocolate away and eat your fruits and veggies!!! Your skin will thank you for this.
9. EXERCISE. At least 30 minutes of daily exercise will help with beauty and skincare benefits that money can’t compare to. Daily exercise aids in proper blood flow and increases circulation by keeping oxygen flowing into your bloodstream. Live longer, live better!
10. CONSISTENCY. If you are not consistent with anything you do, don’t expect the results you desire. Stay on top of the game and the rest will follow suit.
11. Last but not least….WATER, WATER, WATER!!! You need it. I need it. We all need it. Dehydration is one of the main causes for dull and unlively skin. If your body is dehydrated, your skin will be too! Try to flush out your system daily by drinking half of your body weight and detoxing with herbal tea often. Avoid caffeinated and sugary drinks. Your skin will LOVE you.
