The largest and most noticeable organ in our body is your skin. The majority of us think that the only thing that can make our skin flawless is what we apply on it. Not at all, no. While maintaining a good skin care routine is important, the environment and a number of other unanticipated factors also have a big role in how our skin looks and ages.
Try these methods to achieve perfection without affecting your skin at all if your creams, moisturizers, and potions aren't giving you a glowing, glass-like complexion.
Spend less time in the sun
Apply sunscreen, yes, but it's time to engage in hide and seek when it comes to the non-product component. 90% of skin ageing is said to be caused by the sun, especially in those with lighter skin tones, in addition to the even scarier risk for cancer. Given that number, it is advisable to limit your exposure to the sun or find shelter when you are out and about.
Your makeup brushes need cleaning
In addition to worn-out cosmetics, our makeup brushes accumulate bacteria, oil, dust, and sweat. If it isn't cleaned frequently, every time you apply makeup, all of that filth is effectively smeared across your face. This may lead to inflammation, clogged pores, and acne. Your makeup brushes should ideally be washed once each week!
Find strategies to manage stress
The hormone cortisol is produced by our body when we are anxious or stressed. Our fight-or-flight response is triggered by this hormone, which is a positive thing. However, ongoing stress keeps this response in an exhausting overdrive.
Consume a lot of water
Even though drinking water doesn't instantly hydrate the skin, it does make all physiological systems work better. It reduces puffiness, boosts liver function (which causes dark circles appear lighter), lowers inflammation, and may even aid skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. How can you determine if you're getting enough water? Look at your urine! If it is a deep shade of amber, it is time to drink. To achieve the brightness of lemonade is the goal.
Exercise
You all know that working up a sweat is good for our whole body, but there are also certain advantages for our skin. Our blood circulates while we move, supplying all of our cells with oxygen and nourishment. This not only provides us an instant shine, but it also hastens the healing process of our skin. Exercise also has the added benefit of reducing stress and, consequently, cortisol levels.
