1. Drink Enough Water, Always!

You must have already heard that a human body consists of more than 70% water, and it is important to drink enough every day for all bodily functions including maintaining a healthy weight to energy levels, flushing toxins out of the body and keeping your skin healthy. Not staying adequately hydrated can lead to dry and flaky skin. And dry skin is prone to wrinkles and signs of ageing. While it is recommended to drink 10-12 glasses or 3 litres of water every day, you can also maintain your daily hydration needs by drinking juices and eating foods with rich water content.

Please note that, if you have signs like a dull look, fine lines and wrinkles that develop when you gently pinch your lip, itchy skin, or overly sensitive skin, you can tell your skin is dehydrated.

2. You Must Moisturise Your Skin Every Day

While water keeps your skin hydrated from the inside, you must keep your skin moisturised to keep its surface healthy and hydrated. Your skin, especially on your face, ears, and neck suffer damage due to pollution, UV rays and other environmental factors, and thus needs to repair and rejuvenate itself. A good moisturiser will help the new cells to rise to the surface.

3. Sunscreens Are Saviours!

A common and bizarre misconception about is that they are important for the skin only in the summers. A good sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful UV and IR rays is essential throughout the year. Other than protecting your skin from the harmful sun rays, but also helps you to maintain an even skin tone, prevent signs of ageing and even prevent skin cancer! Experts also suggest wearing sunscreen on the days on which you plan to stay indoors too.

4. Exfoliate At Least Twice A Week!

Right after you cleanse your skin, the next step is to exfoliate. Use a scrub that suits your skin type. In case you have acne-prone skin, make sure than you are using a very gentle scrub. Skin that is not exfoliated gathers up to 10 times more weight with clogged pores and dead skin cells. A good scrub can eliminate the top layer of dead skin cells, thereby allowing new healthy cells to be created. Blood circulation is also improved to make it soft, smooth, and youthful. Remember to not exfoliate more than twice a week.

5. Cleanse Your Skin Regularly

This one goes without saying, cleaning your body parts including your skin is extremely important for the skin to appear healthy and glowing. A good cleaning will help to remove dirt settled on your skin and prepare it for the products that you plan to use after it. Make it a point to cleanse your skin both in the morning and night with a face wash that is suitable for your skin rather than soap which makes your skin dry by stripping off the moisture. 

6. Remove Makeup Before Hitting Your Bed

Before going to bed, do not forget to remove all traces of makeup from your face. Sleeping on will clog the pores with makeup, leading to pimples and breakouts. It will also make the skin appear dead and dull. For makeup removal, you can use an alcohol-free cleanser. Some people prefer using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup.

7. You Must Take Special Care of Certain Areas

You need to pay attention to those special areas that show early signs of ageing, such as the neck, eyes, and hands. Gradually, the skin around the neck and hands becomes loose and dark circles and puffiness under the eyes can be detected. These are the initial symptoms of skin ageing.

8. Throw Away The Expired Skin Products

Do not use very old beauty products, creams, equipment, etc. Before purchasing and using the product, always verify the expiry date. As it contaminates and making it dangerous for personal use, try not to share your makeup with others.

9. Sleep For Atleast 8 Hours Every Night!

Our body replaces the damaged cells as we sleep and replenishes the old ones. Our body, therefore, needs at least eight hours of sleep a day. This will provide safe and radiant and flawless skin and will refresh your mind.

10. Change Your Skincare Products According to the Seasons

With the change of season, that is, it is a good idea to adjust your skincare routines. During summers, switch to oil power face packs and wash and light toners. Opt for antibacterial and deep cleaning facial washes for monsoons. Switch to hydrating foot care lotions and moisturising skincare items during winter. To help keep your skin nourished and smooth, use deep nutritive toners and lip balms.

11. Be a Skin Conscious

We cannot emphasize enough on the importance of skincare. You must be very conscious about choosing the products to include in your skincare regimes. Not only the skincare products are different for different skin types ie. for dry, oily, combination and normal skin, some products can also react to your skin giving you acne and pimples. Whenever trying a new product, always buy in a very small quantity to check whether the product suits your skin. 

12. Sheet Masks Are Your Best Friends!

Your skin needs its weekly boost of hydration. While there are many ways to hydrate your skin, including drinking enough water, eating healthy and maintaining your daily skincare routine, you can give your skin extra boost of hydration via sheet masks twice a week. 

13. Move Beyond Your Neck!

Most people while talking about skincare forget to mention that maintenance of skin is not limited to face alone. You must take care of your skin on the rest of your body, especially arms and legs, Invest in a good body wash, exfoliate once in a while and don’t forget to moisturize your skin daily!

14. Put Your Faith In Homemade Skincare
