1. Hydration is Your Best Friend
The foundation of glowing skin is moisture. While creams help, hydration starts from the inside.
- Drink Water: Aim for at least 8 glasses a day to flush out toxins.
- Eat Water-Rich Foods: Include cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges in your diet.
- Use Hyaluronic Acid: Look for serums that lock in moisture.
2. Never Skip Sunscreen
If there is one product you must use every single day, it’s SPF. Sun damage is the leading cause of dark spots, wrinkles, and dullness.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
- Apply it even if it’s cloudy or if you are staying indoors near windows.
3. The Power of Double Cleansing
Sometimes, a single wash isn't enough to remove stubborn dirt and makeup. Double cleansing ensures your pores are actually clean.
- Step 1: Use an oil-based cleanser or micellar water to break down makeup and sebum.
- Step 2: Use a gentle water-based foaming cleanser to wash away the remaining residue.
4. Get Your "Beauty Sleep"
There’s a reason it’s called beauty sleep. While you sleep, your skin cells regenerate and repair themselves.
- Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep.
- Pro Tip: Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction, which prevents sleep lines and hair breakage.
5. Be Consistent, Not Complicated
You don’t need a 10-step routine. Using too many products can actually irritate your skin barrier. Stick to a simple routine:
- Cleanse
- Tone (Alcohol-free)
- Moisturize
- Protect (AM) / Repair (PM)
