How to make my skin better

How can you make your skin better? There are some great ways of making your skin better by changing and adopting a few daily habits. A few simple changes to your lifestyle can provide some great improvements to your skin. Whether it’s antiaging, gaining a more fresh looking skin or adding a little glow. These steps and tips will help you gain better skin.

Take note of your water. 

Interesting, the type of water you use on your skin can make a difference to its appearing and the benefits it provides. Soft water doesn’t remove soap well and result in leaving residue on your skin. According to dermatologists this residue can have a negative impact on the quality of your skin. If you have soft water you should try to use face washes and cleansers sparingly. If you water is hard it doesn’t lather well and which will lead you to use more cleanser on the skin. Using a larger amount of cleanser on the skin can cause dryness. You can minimise this by using gentler cleansers and face washes on your skin. It’s important to take note of the water that you use so you can find the right amount and type of cleanser used in your skincare.

Try to minimise stress.

Stress can have a huge impact on not just our mental health but also our skincare too. Studies have shown that during stressful periods skin can be prone to breakouts and acne. This is due to the increase of hormones that are produced when we feel stressed and anxious. When we are stressed the body produces cortisol which can make the skin oiler that decreases its ability to fight bacteria. If you regularly practice activities that can help reduce stress such as yoga and mediation this can help reduce your stress levels and help improve your skin.

Drink Green Tea. 

Green tea can be great at helping fight red and blotchy skin as the tea contains anti inflammatory properties. Hot drinks can worsen redness so drinking iced tea is best for reducing redness. Green tea can also help fight off the destruction of collagen which leads to wrinkles as well as sun induced damage. So consider adding a cup of green tea to your morning routine to help fight against wrinkles and redness in the skin.

Keep an eye on sunlight.

Studies have shown that sunlight can penetrate windows in homes and cars and cause wrinkles and brown spots on the skin. Keep an eye on the amount of sunlight falling directly on your skin through windows and doors during the day.

Minimise the chemicals you put into your skin.

Try to keep your skin clean and natural and minimise the amount of chemicals you put into your skin. By using natural and vegan skincare products you can help minimise these chemicals. Try and avoid baby wipes and wipes that include un-natural ingredients. A simple change is to use a natural reusable face pad with a natural micellar water or toner.

Improve the air quality around you.

Nasty chemicals and pollution can lead to aging of the skin. Some simple changes to improve the air quality around you are to; Avoid being around smoky environments and of course try to stop smoking if you do. If you have a furnace try to change the filter regularly to minimise any pollution. If you cook with oil make sure you turn on the extractor fan to absorb any smoke when cooking. Homes can become damp with water molecules in the air. A quick and easy tip to reduce this is to use a humidifier in rooms around your home.
