Every person knows at least one lady with actually perfect skin.
Each
time you see her shimmering look, you feel, seriously, how does she do it? What kind of magical procedures is she getting?
Which expensive creams is she using? Here is the secret “she nailed the
best daily routine”. I wrote here 15 routine that can be awesomely useful
1. Use the
correct cleanser for correct skin.
"For oily or acne
prone skin, a salicylic gel or benzyl peroxide wash works great,"
says Dr. Ava Shamban, a dermatologist in Santa
Monica . "For dry mature skin, use either a
moisturizing glycolic or milky cleanser. For skin with brown spots or miasma,
use a brightening wash, such as an alpha hydroxyl acid cleanser."
2. Drink the
right liquids.
Though it's tempting to grab a
coffee the minute you wake up, Joanna Vargas, a skincare facialist in NYC, says
choosing the right beverages can be a game changer. "Drink a shot of
chlorophyll every morning to brighten, oxygenate, and hydrate your skin.
Drinking chlorophyll also helps drain puffiness by stimulating the lymphatic
system, so it's also good for cellulite." If you're not keen on downing a
shot of the stuff, chlorophyll supplements can be found at many drugstores and
health food stores. She also advised drinking green juices with lots of veggies
in them: "It will transform your skin in a matter of days — and it helps
oxygenate the skin and stimulates lymphatic drainage, so it's de-puffing,
too."
3. Maintain a
healthy diet.
"Your
skin has a natural barrier to retain moisture, and essential to that is omega-3
fatty acid," Joanna Vargas advises. "Flax seeds on your salad or even
walnuts will be an instant boost to your omega-3, thus increasing your skin's
ability to hold onto moisture." And be sure to eat a diet low in foods
with a high glycemic index (simple and complex carbohydrates).
4. Moisturize
every day and night.
"The best times to moisturize are
right after you get out of the shower and right before you goes to bed,"
explained Dr. Janet Prystowsky MD, and NYC-based dermatologist. Avoid lotions
with heavy fragrances and be make sure you find a moisturizer gentle enough for
every day use with zero irritation.
5. Fingers
never touch the face.
Dr. Julia
Tzu, an NYC-based dermatologist, says this is very important. It doesn't just
spread bacteria and cause breakouts — it can lead to scarring, an increase in wrinkles, and even the
flu.
6. Don’t use
too many products.
Using more
than one or two all at once is a big no-no, says Dr. Tzu. It can be harsh on
the skin, resulting in more breakouts and clogged pores.
7. Wears
sunscreen 365 days a year whether rain or shine.
"Many
people feel they only need to protect themselves on sunny days or when visiting
the beach," says Dr. Debbie Palmer, a New York dermatologist. "But the truth
is that we need to protect our skin even when we're driving a car, flying in an
airplane, or running errands. It's the daily
UV exposure that contributes to the visible signs of aging."
What kind of sunscreen is
best? Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or greater — and
remember that it needs to be reapplied every 2 hours.
8. Hydrate in
every way possible.
Every skin
expert we spoke to emphasize the importance of hydration. "A lack of water
means less radiance and more sag," says Dr. Mona Gohara, a dermatologist
in Connecticut .
She suggests choosing products (cleansing, moisturizing, and anti-aging) that
have hydrating formulas. And, of course, drink around eight glasses of water a
day.
9. Avoids
direct heat exposure.
Don't just
watch out for the sun — getting too close to heaters and fireplaces can also cause
havoc on your skin. "It causes inflammation \and collagen stop working. I
recommend staying at least ten feet away," explains Dr. Palmer. So next
time you're roasting chestnuts or s'mores over an open fire, take a step back.
10. Exfoliate
a couple of time per week.
"We lose
50 million skin cells a day, and without a little extra nudge, they may hang
around leaving the skin looking sullen," says Dr. Gohara. To fight this,
you should "choose a product that is pH neutral so it doesn't dry as it
exfoliates." And don't just stop with your face — the skin on your body
needs exfoliation, too.
11. Don’t eat
just vitamins.
A balanced
diet is important, but there's more than one way to give your skin vitamins. There
are also topical antioxidants, which are serums and creams that contain
ingredients that nourish the skin. "These can really help to repair the
skin from sun damage and they also have natural sunscreen properties,"
says Dr. Palmer. Not sure how to use them? The best time to apply them is right
after cleansing, or they can be layered under your sunscreen for added
protection.
12. Clean your
makeup brushes regularly.
To fight
infection and clogged pores, Dr. Prystowsky recommends washing concealed and
foundation brushes once a week.
For brushes you use around your eyes, she recommends twice per month, and for
any other brushes, once a month is fine. Here's how:
Put a drop of a mild shampoo into the palm of your hand. Wet the bristles with
lukewarm water. Then, massage the bristles into your palm to distribute the
shampoo into the brush. Avoid getting the metal part of the brush wet/or the
base of the brush hairs because the glue could soften and the bristles could
fall out. Rinse the shampoo out and squeeze out the water with a towel. Lay the
brushes on their side with the bristles hanging off the edge of the counter to
dry.
13. Protection
doesn't stop at sunscreen.
We are
talking SPF makeup, sunglasses, and broad-brimmed hats. "Preventing sun
damage is a million times better for your skin than treating it after the
fact," says Dr. Prystowsky.
14. Skincare
routine is easy to follow.
"Fad
products and fancy ingredients are fun to try, and sometimes they work
well," says Dr. Prystowsky, "but usually they are off the shelves
just as quickly as they are on them." Find a cleanser and moisturizer that
you know work for you, and keep them at the core of your routine.
15. Sleep
well.
It's not just
about getting eight hours a night. Skin will also benefit from regularly using clean silk pillowcases.
"The material glides easily and prevents creasing and wrinkles,” says
