For the past years, I have been changing my skincare routine and habits, and the results are incredible. I see a big difference in my skin texture, and I look younger than when I was in my 20s.
Sometimes, we don’t release, but there are little things here and there that can affect our skin, and I want to emphasize those today.
This Post is about 10 Habits for Glowing Skin
Remove Makeup Before Bed
Do you know that sleeping with your makeup can age you up to 7 years? That’s right, that’s how bad going to bed without removing your makeup is. I know that sometimes we are exhausted, especially after a night out. I used to do that, but once I realized the damage I was doing to my skin, I hadn’t done it in years.
If you are feeling tired, I advise removing your makeup at least. You don’t have to do a whole skincare routine, but at least make sure you remove all those products from your face, and you can return to your regular skincare routine the next day.
Change Your Pillow Cases Weekly
Okay, It took me a long time to release how bad I was about changing my pillowcases; I am guilty of this! You need to change your pillowcases at least once a week!
Your pillowcases absorb oils, sweat, dirt, and dust, which can be transformed into bacteria that can be passed into your skin and hair, so it’s essential that you consistently change them.
Since we are talking about pillowcases, another recommendation is to use SILK pillowcases; make sure they are 100% Mulberry Silk. Silk cases absorb less dirt and oils, which are fantastic for your hair, preventing loss and frizz during sleep.
Silk pillowcases are more expensive than regular ones but worth it. I got mine on Amazon, and they’re excellent. As a tip, wash them by hand! It doesn’t take much time, and they will last longer.
You can find them in my AMAZON STORE in the Self-Care Products Section.
If you are in Canada, you can find them here:
Clean Makeup Sponges and Brushes Often
Pillowcases, makeup brushes, and sponges create bacteria that can pass to your skin if you don’t clean them often. If you have a small collection, try cleaning them at least once a week.
Cleaning your makeup application utensils will keep your skin away from bacteria and improve your makeup application.
I like to use body wash or hand soap to clean them.
Double Cleanse When Using Makeup
I already mentioned how important it is to remove your makeup before bed, but another practice is to double cleanse when using makeup.
Double cleansing is the best way to ensure that you remove all those products from your skin.
For double cleanse, I always recommend the following steps ( This is my routine ):
- Start by using a cleansing balm; they are perfect for removing even waterproof mascara. My current favorite is the InkeyList Oat Cleansing Balm. You can find it in my SHOPLIST in the Favorite Cleansers Section.
- Once you remove your makeup, use a cleanser to wash off any dirt or makeup residues left. I recommend using a gentle cleanser that provides hydration. Check my SHOPLIST in the Favorite Cleansers Section to see my favorite products.
- Finally, and this is optional, I use a two-in-one Toner and Micellar Water; I love the ones from GARNIER and Burt’s BEES.
Use Sunscreen EVERY DAY
Yes, this is really, really important! Daily sunscreen will protect your skin from sun damage, preventing wrinkles and fine lines. At the same time, it will prevent dark spots and uneven skin tone.
It’s essential to mention that you must use sunscreen daily, even indoors! I recommend adding it to your routine, especially if you are acne-prone; you will see a significant improvement in your skin.
I always tell my friends that sunscreen is one of the key Habits for Glowing Skin, so do not neglect it.
My current favorites are NEUTROGENA SUNSCREENS.
Don’t Pop Your Pimples
I know the temptation; you see that little monster in your face and want to get rid of it !! I have been there! But popping your pimples can do more damage than you think.
When you squeeze them, you can bring bacteria, increasing the swelling and redness. At the same time, you can scar by pushing deeper into the skin.
I used to be bad at this, and I have a few tiny scars from popping my pimples that are now banished after changing my skincare routine. I learned my lesson!
Don’t Forget Your Neck!
Our neck is as important as the rest of the face! I have seen people with beautiful skin, but their necks look wrinkled and unhealthy. So you need to apply your skincare to your face and bring it all down to your neck, but remember to use upward strokes!
The neck skin is more delicate and prompts wrinkles faster; you must follow the same routine: cleanser, hydration, serums, and SPF. Remember, the neck is part of your face.
Exfoliate At Least Once a Week
Exfoliation is really important if you want a natural glow. By exfoliating, you remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and bright.
Depending on your skin type, the recommendation is to exfoliate twice a week. You can use gentle scrubs or chemical exfoliators that contain alpha or beta hydroxyl for deep exfoliation.
Exfoliation is really important for glowing skin. It removes dead cells that can cause dullness and dryness. However, over-exfoliation can cause irritation and damage, so take it easy.
You can find it in my SHOPLIST in my Favorite Exfoliators and Scrubs.
Drink Your Water
You can not have glowing skin if you are not hydrated! Even with an amazing skincare routine and a balanced diet, your skin will look dull, tired, and dehydrated if you are not drinking enough water.
In my 4 Easy Tips for Healthier Skin, I mentioned the importance of drinking at least eight glasses of water a day to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated and Moisturised
There are many skincare products out there, but you should only use those that hydrate and moisturize your skin.
If you don’t know the difference when your skin is dry, it lacks oil, so you need to moisturize. When your skin is dehydrated, it lacks water; here is when you hydrate.
Always combine these products with the rest of your skincare; they will keep your skin plumped, glowy, and fresh.
I love using products that contain Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, and Squalane. Check out my favorite skincare products for more information.
