Good skin health starts with proper maintenance and nourishment. Achieving clear, healthy skin is the result of balancing two primary objectives: proper cleansing and hydration. A skincare routine must be tailored to one's individual skin type and lifestyle. The most important aspect of maintaining healthy skin is to cleanse with a gentle cleanser that removes dirt and debris while retaining essential moisture and nutrients. Cleansing should be done morning and night to keep away excess oils, makeup, and environmental pollutants that can contribute to acne, dryness, and inflammation. The next step in achieving glowing skin is to hydrate with a broad-spectrum moisturizer that is specifically formulated for one's skin type. Once the skin is cleansed, it should be adequately hydrated and nourished with a moisturizer suitable for one's skin type. This ensures that skin remains plump and firm, and helps protect against premature aging and environmental stressors. Sun exposure is one of the main causes of premature aging and skin damage, so it is important to wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when outside for extended periods of time, and re-apply as needed. Antioxidants are also essential as they help fight the cell-damaging effects of free radicals, which are produced naturally in the body as a result of the aging process. Paying attention to one's diet can be just as important as any skincare routine. Eating a balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats helps to improve skin health, protect from inflammation, and reduce wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Additionally, drinking plenty of water helps to flush out toxins and keeps skin hydrated, reducing inflammation. Finally, it is important to remove all makeup before bed to avoid clogged pores and breakouts. Makeup that is not properly removed can cause irritation and premature aging. By properly cleaning, hydrating, and nourishing skin with helpful ingredients, protecting skin from sun damage, maintaining a healthy diet, and removing makeup before bed, healthy skin can be achieved and sustained with minimal effort.
