6. Wear sunscreen when you’re out in the sun.
Rain or shine its important to wear that good ol’ SPF Sunscreen. Did you know that sunlight is 80 percent of what causes of aging, freckles, wrinkles, and even skin cancer? We all love our nice warm sun but getting too much could be a bad thing. No matter how tan you want to get, if you want perfect skin – you have to settle for some paleness every once in a while. So be sure to protect it by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreens that help block both UVB and UVA light.
7. Moisturize regularly.
Not only is sunscreen good for your skin to keep from harming your skin but its also important to moisturize your skin as well. It’s best to moisturize right after you get out of the shower and right before you go to bed. Also make sure to find a lotion that is gentle on your skin that you can use everyday.
8. Never pick at anything on your face.
This is sadly a habit of mine and I wish I could stop from doing it – because, it has negative effects on your skin. Hey, it’s hard to break bad habits, ok? So try not to pick at your face or even touch it if all possible. Picking at blemishes can lead to permanent scarring. Also touching or picking at your face can lead to a lot more acne with all the germs on your hands.
9. Don’t stress.
I know it’s kind of impossible to not stress. It’s a daily struggle for all of us. According to the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, stress can affect how our outer layers of skin function which can lead to redness and irritation. So just try to relax and let the stress go.
10. Exfoliate a few times a week.
Choose a product that has a pH that is neutral so it won’t dry out your skin. By exfoliating, this will help clear out your pores and other impurities on the skin without being too harsh.
