You know the feeling. You wake up in the morning, ready to face your day. But as soon as you look in the mirror and see your tired eyes and lackluster skin, you instantly feel drained of energy. Your good mood turns sour, even though there's nothing wrong with how you look!
There is a solution to this problem: glowing skin! Here are eight easy ways to achieve that healthy glow so that even after a bad night's sleep or a stressful day at work, you'll still be able to radiate beauty from within.
Be kind to your skin
- Avoid harsh products.
- Use a gentle cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.
- Eat well, sleep well, and drink plenty of water!
- Wear sunscreen every day (even in winter).
Use a good cleanser
The first step to glowing skin is to use a good cleanser. This can be tricky because there are so many different types of cleansers, but finding the right one for you will be worth it in the end.
To get started, choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type and avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants that could irritate or damage your face. It's also important not to wash too often--once every two days should suffice! At Dermisyou, we recommend our Cleansing & Hydrating Facial Toner with Saffron & Rose Water. It moisturizes, cleanses the skin, and thoroughly removes dirt and oil.
After cleansing twice per day (morning and night), follow up with a moisturizer afterwards so that hydration levels don't drop below normal levels while removing dirt from pores during cleaning.
Use a good toner
Toners are an essential part of any skincare routine, but they're often overlooked. If you're wondering why a toner should be included in your daily regimen and how to choose the right one for your skin type, keep reading!
Toners help cleanse the skin and prepare it for further treatments by removing excess dirt and oil from pores. They also balance pH levels in order to prevent dryness or breakouts (which is why it's important not just for oily types). Finally, some contain ingredients that aid in cell turnover--this means faster recovery from acne scarring!
It can be difficult finding the right product because there are so many options available on the market today: some ingredients like aloe vera gel can be hydrating for those with dry skin types while others like witch hazel might irritate sensitive complexions due to its astringent properties; similarly, when choosing a toner, make sure they are void of alcohol and parabens. In general, do your research and pick one with clean and natural ingredients.
Use a good moisturizer
Moisturizer is a must for any skin type, but especially if you have dry skin. Moisturizers help lock in moisture to promote elasticity, prevent flakes, and keep your face looking smooth. They soften the texture of your skin so that it's not bumpy or uneven--and they can make you look younger as they help smooth fine lines and wrinkles!
There are many different kinds of moisturizers available on the market today: lotions, creams, and gels are all types of moisturizers. Some contain oils (such as olive oil) while others have water as their main ingredient. You should choose one based on what works best for your particular needs--if you're looking for something lightweight but still hydrating then try using an oil-free hydrating gel instead of something heavier like cream or lotion; if however grease makes up part of who you are, then maybe opt instead for something creamy like coconut oil-based body butter?
Regardless of which type suits YOU best though, always remember one thing above all else: no matter how much money we spend on skincare products there's nothing better than simply washing our faces twice daily with warm water followed by applying whatever kinder gentler cleanser you have at your disposal.
Eat well, sleep well, and drink plenty of water!
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. They're rich in nutrients that give your skin a healthy glow.
- Include healthy fats in your diet like avocado, nuts, and seeds (walnuts are particularly good). Omega 3 oils help keep the skin smooth and supple by reducing inflammation as well as boosting collagen production which helps plump up fine lines.
- Protein helps build muscle mass which improves circulation so that oxygen reaches deeper into the skin layers where it's needed most for repair work after sun damage or other environmental stressors have taken their toll on our complexions over time - plus protein makes us feel fuller for longer so less snacking on junk food means fewer cravings too!
- Don't go overboard with sugar-laden treats as these can lead to breakouts due to high levels of insulin production in response to all those simple sugars hitting our bloodstreams at once - not good news if you want clear glowing skin! Likewise, avoid excessive amounts of meat/fish since these foods tend to contain high levels of saturated fats which contribute towards blocked pores.
Wear sunscreen every day
The best way to prevent dry skin, sunburn and skin cancer is to wear sunscreen every day. Sunscreen protects against UV rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.
When choosing a sunscreen, look for products that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as their active ingredients. These ingredients are considered safer than other chemicals found in some sunscreens because they reflect the sun's rays rather than absorbing them like chemical-based filters.
Apply at least 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen for 30 minutes before going outside for long periods of time (at least two hours). Reapply every two hours if you're sweating or swimming -- even if you have reapplied your lotion earlier in the day!
Your skin will thank you for these easy steps
You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive products or go through invasive treatments to get glowing, healthy-looking skin. With a little time and effort, you can see great results--and they will last!
