It is important to remember that using a large quantity of products will often do more harm than good, so pick your products carefully and make sure you are consistent in your routine.
BUILD A ROUTINE
As we mentioned in the previous section, a good routine is the key to a clear and youthful complexion. Make sure that you follow your routine every evening. If you are managing a very busy schedule, it is best to streamline your beauty routine to cleansing once a day with soap or a face wash that is free of parabens, it is important you moisturize after washing you face every day. This is all a daily beauty routine needs to be. Current trends indicate that contemporary skincare is all about simple and natural methods to keep your skin glowing and maintain a clear complexion.
USE NATURAL PRODUCTS
The biggest trend this year is to choose completely natural products rather than brands which use artificial scents and chemicals. These can clog pores and require constant reliance in order to prevent breakouts. It is worth investing in essential oils and basic soaps to create a perfect blend for your complexion. There are many natural herbs and remedies that you can find in a health food store and they will be much less invasive for your skin.
ANTI-AGING SOLUTIONS
If you want to prevent the signs of aging, the best solution is to eat healthily, stay away from the sun and occasionally treat your skin to a microcurrent facial that will help to minimize lines and wrinkles. A healthy lifestyle and ensuring you are permitting yourself enough respite in these busy and chaotic times is the key to a healthy body. Tiredness exacerbates wrinkles and dark spots, so if you make sure that you get the recommended daily amount of sleep for your age, in addition to maintaining a regular skincare routine, you are diminishing your likelihood of wrinkles.
USE SUNSCREEN
If there is one beauty rule, it is that you should never leave the house without sunscreen. Some foundations and tinted moisturizers contain a low-level SPF protection, however this is not enough to protect your skin from the sun’s most harmful rays. It is recommended that you wear SPF 30 or 40 to keep your skin looking young and reduce the chance that you will develop sun-related skin damage. Alternatively, you can make sure that you always have a hat or relevant sun protection. Of course, sun protection will protect your skin from far more dangerous adverse effects than wrinkles – it protects from carcinogenic rays.
If skincare was to be defined by one rule, it is to keep it simple and natural. Don’t overload your skin with multiple products. Instead, take care of your body to maintain a fresh-faced complexion.
