Though not everyone takes skincare seriously (and we should!), there comes a time when your skin just looks so desperate its asking for immediate attention. Who doesn’t want the youthful smooth and soft skin, right? There’s no vanity in trying to look our best, and it starts from something as basic as adopting the adequate skincare routines.
By now, you’ve probably heard of or used a handful of cleansers and moisturisers, but you wouldn’t have made the most of your skincare routine unless you’ve made use of natural skin oils. Full of antioxidants and vitamins, they’re sure to be the aces up your sleeve in regulating the sebum production and nourishing the skin which results in improving its texture.
Unlike moisturisers, these oils penetrate to the lower layers of the epidermis, due to their small molecules, and given that they’re made from natural ingredients, they deliver them straight to the lower skin layers which makes them far more effective when it comes to improving your skin’s appearance altogether.
Moreover, natural skin oils can help with other issues, such as ageing signs in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as the complexion. Of course, to be able to reap the benefits from them, you have to make sure they’re certified and really made from natural ingredients.
Along with having your share of oils, it’s advisable to consider other things in your life, like whether or not chronic stress is part of it. If it is, then sorry to break it to you but stress is making you ugly in the way it affects the skin, and it’s not just taking its toll on your complexion.
Though it doesn’t seem related to skincare, knowing how to relax and take some time off daily to do your favourite activities, to just unwind, is crucial for your appearance. Learn some basics of meditation to help you relax, play some soothing music, and forget about the worries and the rest of the world for a while. You deserve to pamper yourself, your health depends on it!
Also, don’t forget to have plenty of rest and the quality sleep every night; It’s not called beauty sleep for nothing! It’s advisable to pay attention to the way you shower, for instance. While it’s okay to shower every day, it’s not okay to shower with water that’s too hot or for too long because both are known to dry out the skin.
