The topic of skincare is a vast and complex one. There are various products and procedures available on the market, and it can be challenging to know where to start. While these are all great additions to your routine, it’s important to remember the basic do’s and don’ts of skincare. By following our guide, you will be able to create a skincare routine that is perfect for you!

DO Drink Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated is important for overall health, and it is also essential for healthy skin. Drinking plenty of water will help to flush out toxins and keep your skin looking plump and radiant. Regardless of your skin type, drinking a lot of water is a skincare must, as healthy skin starts from within.

DON’T Skip the Sunscreen

Wearing sunscreen is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. It will help to protect you from harmful UV rays, and it can also help to prevent wrinkles and sun damage. Sun damage can cause a variety of skin problems including:

• wrinkles
• discoloration
• dryness
• sagging skin
• and even skin cancer

Therefore it is important to be vigilant about sunscreen application. Using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is ideal, and you should reapply it every two hours if you are going to be spending time in the sun.

DO Moisturize Your Skin

Using a moisturizer is an important step in any skincare routine. It will help to keep your skin hydrated and looking healthy. There are a variety of different moisturizers on the market, so you should choose one that is suitable for your skin type.

You may believe that using a moisturizer is the last thing you should do if you have oily skin. However, being the body’s largest organ—and the one that is arguably most affected by external factors—the skin frequently needs moisture, even if it is oily or pimply.

For oily skin you should look for a light, oil-free moisturizer that will not clog your pores.

If you have dry skin, look for a heavier cream that will help to replenish your skin’s natural oils.

DON’T Go to Bed With Makeup On

Sleeping in your makeup is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. It clogs your pores and prevents your skin from breathing overnight. Makeup also accelerates the aging process by causing wrinkles and fine lines. Make sure to take the time to remove your makeup before going to bed—your skin will thank you for it!
