Many of us have believed at some point that perfect skin is out of reach. That only lucky people are born with beautiful skin.
High-end beauty products, tools and treatments have thankfully proven us wrong. Typically people who have perfect skin work for it. It isn’t usually something that happens by accident.
This definitive guide will give you some great tips to achieve your most perfect skin:
Drink All of the Water
Water is a magical drink, although many people don’t realize what you put into your body is a direct reflection of how it looks.
Water does so much for us, but in the case of skin it can help keep it both clear and hydrated. If you don’t drink enough water, you can end up with premature lines and wrinkles.
Cut Back on Sugar, Caffeine and Junk-food
If you eat a lot of sugar and processed snacks you could be contributing to occasional breakouts and recurring blemishes. We can all have treats here and there, while making sure it’s all in moderation.
Read nutritional labels, as you may not realize just how many damaging ingredients (and sugar) are in what you’re about to consume.
Fill your diet with raw vegetables and fiber rich foods and your skin will thank you. The more natural the state the food is in, the better.
Get Plenty of Sleep
When we fail to get enough sleep, we almost always find that our skin suffers. We have bags, lines, and all sorts of other imperfections most likely only we notice.
We may even suffer from our face appearing more puffy. Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep per night, 8 for the best results on your skin.
Exercise
Exercise is a must. Everyone who exercises looks years younger than those who don’t. Make sure you do it 3-4 times a week at least to get the circulation pumping even harder, allowing you to sweat out impurities and contribute to improving your skin.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating your skin keeps it looking smooth and healthy. Make sure the product you use is suitable for the skin on your face, as it’s much more delicate than the skin on our bodies.
All girls love skincare products that are kind to the face yet ultra effective. You can afford to use something a little bit less gentle all over the other parts of your body.
Invest in Good Products
It’s worth investing in good products. One amazing product could literally change the way your skin looks (it has happened to me, that Clarins Double Serum, ahem La Mer?)
Read reviews, pickup tips from your favorite beauty bloggers, chat with your esthetician and makeup artist to find the best products.
Stop Stressing
Easier said than done but stress can be a huge factor when it comes to the condition of your skin. Try to minimize the amount of stress in your life by planning ahead, not allowing yourself to get worked up about the inconsequential and any other ways you can manage.
Take a few deep breaths and don’t worry about things you can’t control. Delve into meditation. It can change your life and the way you react to more volatile situations, not just your skin.
See a Skincare Expert
If you have other issues you feel cannot be helped with these tips, see a skincare expert. They’ll recommend some changes to your routine and may even prescribe you ultra effective products that will render dramatic results.
Use the tips in this guide, consult a professional and always go with what seems to be working for you personally. Before you realize, you may encounter a significant improvement in your skin, (face and body!)
