5 Simple Habits for Healthy Skin

Hello! Hope you are all doing well and staying home if possible!

When it comes to having clear skin it can be a challenge. But what else can you do besides wearing sunscreen or drinking lemon water every day to have healthy skin? Read on for my simple habits for healthy skin.

1. Exfoliate

This is the most important habit for healthy skin. What exfoliating does is it scrubs off the dead skin and reveals bright skin.

If you don’t exfoliate regularly, this can cause breakouts and blackheads. Due to the dead, dry skin being stuck in your pores, your skin could become dull.

How often should I exfoliate?

You should exfoliate once to twice a week. Be careful to not exfoliate frequently as this will cause irritation and inflamed skin.

Recommendations

• Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Pore Scrub

• Mario Badescu Almond & Honey Face Scrub

• The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Cleansing Polish

2. Mask once a week

A face mask is perfect to rejuvenate skin. There are many types of face masks. Clay masks are great to clear skin and tighten the pores. You could also use a sheet mask if you need extra hydration for dryness.

My favorites:

• Aztec Indian healing clay – bentonite clay mask
• Lush fresh masks – Rosy Cheeks
• Pacifica sheet masks – Stress Rehab

DIY brightening mask

• 2 tbsp of ripe banana
• 1 tbsp of honey

Mash together in a bowl and apply to skin. Wait for 10-15 mins and rinse.

3. Sleep routine

You should aim for between 7-9 hours of sleep. A consistent sleep schedule will help reduce dark circles as well. This is because your skin cells are hard at work to repair damaged skin cells while you sleep.

4. Wash your face twice a day

This is another important habit for healthy skin. Wash your face in the morning and also before you sleep. That way you can clean your skin of the tiny dirt, sweat, and bacteria that has accumulated from the day.

You don’t need a fancy face wash. Just a splash of warm water will be enough! Sometimes, when I use face wash consistently, it causes my skin to breakout. So, if you have noticed this as well, try plain water to wash your face.

5. Do not touch your face!

I know it can be tough to not touch your face! I do it all the time without thinking because that is what I have become used to for years. Also known as a habit.

A big step for great skin year round is to use natural/clean skincare and beauty products.
