• 5 THINGS TO DO TO ACHIEVE AN EVEN YOUNGER SKIN

- BY USIADE ISIOMA

This quarantine period has given us enough time to pay more attention to our skin. This is also a great time to consider your beauty routine and change or develop some new habits although some of these tips perhaps are already a part of your daily routine – which is even better as you are just a few steps closer to more beautiful and younger looking skin!

SPEND ENOUGH TIME IN BED

Sleep is one of the most wonderful gifts that you can give to your skin. A good night’s sleep actually helps your skin to support regenerati­on processes and overall improves skin’s conditions. So basically, you can improve your skin’s health and look great just by simply sleeping!

ALWAYS REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP

BEFORE SLEEP

It shouldn’t be super surprising to learn, that removing all your makeup before going to sleep is one of the most important parts of the day. During the night, the makeup you left on your skin can exacerbate the condition of the skin and cause a variety of infections, further

increased acne or clog the pores of the skin. Although frequent washing of the face can also cause problems, especially if you scrub your face in the process. In this case, your skin can dry out even more.

STOP EXPERIMENT­ING WITH FACIAL CREAMS

If you are still trying to find the “One” face cream and always experiment with various brands, you might be taking a risk of doing more harm to your skin, rather than helping it. Infact, very often, interchang­eable facial skin creams may cause irritation and redness. Some creams contain allergens or skin irritating ingredient­s, so you should not jump from one cream to another every time you finish up the bottle.

STOP SMOKING IN EVERY SENSE

Direct or passive smoking, even if it is done on rare occasions, it eventually changes the colour of your skin, makes your teeth yellow, damages nails, promotes the appearance of wrinkles and, of course, can cause cancer. Smoking costs tons of money, and that is just not healthy at all! So, try to quit and change your life radically both improve your health and beauty!

USE SUNSCREEN NOT ONLY IN HOT WEATHER

One of the most important skin-care items should be sunscreen. But not only during hot weather, you should also apply sunscreen always. Regular use of sunscreen, as various scientific studies showed, reduces the risk of skin cancer by up to 50 percent. Moreover, skin protected from harmful sunrays usually retains its elasticity, natural colour and stay brighter a lot longer.
