Taking care of your skin is a form of taking care of yourself. No one wants to see wrinkles appearing on their skin, but sometimes you may be the reason for them appearing sooner than normal. These tips will help you prevent premature skin aging.
Don’t Be Rough On Your Skin
A lot of people tend to rub their skin too harshly when washing it or removing makeup. You want to be gentle on your skin, especially around the eyes, where it’s the most sensitive. To remove your eye makeup use an oil-based makeup cleanser. Use your fingers to warm up the product and gently work it into the skin using a circular motion. This applies for the rest of your face as well. Consider your makeup removal process as a massage for your face and take your time. Make sure you are using circular motion instead of dragging on your skin.
Beauty Sleep is Important
We have all waken up with creases in our skin from a pillow. This can cause lines overtime, which is why it’s important to make sure you are sleeping in the right position. Using a silk cushion will prevent fine lines and creases in your skin while sleeping with your head tilted up slightly will prevent your face from feeling puffy when you wake up. Additionally, don’t forget the importance of having enough sleep every night. Sleeping for at least 7 hours will ensure that your skin looks its best.
Don’t Skip Hydration
Skin looks healthy and plump when it’s well hydrated. Applying toners, serums, and moisturizers will help your skin stay balanced and retain moisture. If you skip on hydration, your skin will start to look dry, patchy and inflamed. Dehydrated skin is more sensitive to environmental factors and is more likely to develop signs of premature aging.
Don’t Forget Sunscreen
Sunscreen is your best friend when it comes to protecting collagen in and elastin in your skin. When you wear sunscreen, you have a protective barrier, which prevents the sun rays from damaging your skin. Wearing your sunscreen every day will not only prevent fine lines from forming on your skin, but it will also protect you from skin cancer. Opt for a sunscreen that absorbs quickly into the skin and has the highest SPF.
