Obviously, our faces are our first impressions to the world. Which is why I’m borderline obsessive about my skin. Here are my few tips and tricks when it comes to taking care of your precious face.
Don’t Touch!
Most of us loooove to pick at our pores (gross). But do you know how dirty your nails and fingers are? All your doing is spreading germs and infections. Visit an expert facialist if you really need to pop a pimple or just wait for it to slowly go down.
Wash
Throughout the day... your skin gets oily, dirty, and buildup occurs. It's important to wash your face morning and night to get all of it off and to prevent breakouts. Also, make sure to get all of your makeup off to keep the skin looking healthy and beautiful.
Drink
Not that kind of drinking… I’m talking about water. Think of it this way... if you hair is dry and your legs are dry, your face is most likely dry. So drink at least 8 glasses of water a day just to be sure. And for every glass of alcohol or caffeine, you’re going to want to make up for by drinking two glasses of water.
Protect
Some people will tell you sunblock is poison, but you need to protect your skin from uv rays. So make sure you do your research when purchasing sunblock. And don’t rely solely on the lotion: make sure you cover up, too. If you’re out in the sun wear a hat and sunglasses—sounds like my kind of fabulous!
- Watch What You Eat
It’s really hard to determine what foods are bad for your skin, but just use your common sense. Greasy foods are going to produce oil, so stay away. Maintain a diet that is low in fat and heavy on the veggies and fruit.
- Sleep
Your skin needs at least six hours of sleep to rejuvenate. If you don’t get enough sleep one night make sure you exfoliate the next morning to get rid of the dead skin cells.
One more trick that isn’t on the list is to smile. It makes everyone’s skin glow! (:
