In the never-ending battle to maintain clear skin year around, various factors such as sun exposure, daily stress, and heredity play significant roles in the appearance of our skin. To have the healthiest looking skin possible, it is important that you alter your skin care methods to adapt to each of the four seasons. However, there are some constants that should be followed in order to make sure you are always putting your best face forward, no matter what time of the year it is.
Cleanse Daily
Although this tip may seem like a no-brainer, it is mentioned because it is the basis for anyone’s routine, no matter what type of skin they have. To ensure that you do not leave your skin looking dry, opt for a facial cleanser that is pH balanced (eliminate dirt and oil from the skin without drying it out) and also fragrance-free.
Eat a Healthy Diet
Consuming a well-balanced diet is a vital part in keeping your skin radiant and wrinkle free. Swap foods like chocolate and processed foods for whole servings of fruits, vegetables (4-5 servings a day), and lean meats. Make sure to keep you skin hydrated as well by drinking at least 2 to 3 liters of water per day.
Moisturize
Moisturizing the skin is another important tip to maintaining youthful looking skin. With the many different lotions that exist on the market today, try to use one that is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) with an SPF of 15 or higher so you get the added benefit of protecting your skin from the sun, too.
Get Sleep
Proper rest is perhaps the most important factor for healthy looking skin. A lack of rest can increase the stress hormones in the body, which speeds up the aging process and increases acne. Although, it can be hard for some individuals to get an optimal amount of sleep every night, generally 6-7 hours is sufficient for most people.
