You’re never too young to start thinking about your skin and having the right routine is a critical part of a solid overall grooming routine. But, that doesn’t have to mean complex or expensive. Whatever type of routine you develop, simple or complex, just stick to what’s comfortable for you, but make sure you’re addressing your skin’s basic major needs. To get you started or help you develop your existing routine, here are our favorite tips for healthier skin.
1. Address problems first
Acne? See a dermatologist. Dry and flakey? Start finding moisturizers that work best for you. If they’re serious or you’ve tried a bunch of stuff yourself to no avail – go see a professional first. Marketing and sales people likely won’t help and if you have major issues you’ve got to start there.
2. Moisturize every morning and night
Healthy skin starts with regular moisturizing, period.
3. Eye cream at least every night
Fights the signs of aging and fatigue. Especially important for those of you who travel frequently.
4. Sunscreen
Every. Damn. Day. No questions asked. Yes, it’s that important and easy to manage as most good moisturizers have sunscreen in them already.
5. Gently exfoliate daily
Scrubbing away dead skin and dirt will help your skin look and feel better, plus your other products (moisturizers, etc) will work better.
6. Get enough sleep
Don’t underestimate how important a good nights sleep is healthy skin.
7. Hydrate
Believe it or not, drinking a lot of water is the most important tip for healthy skin.
8. A healthy diet
The foods you eat, both good and bad, can impact the health and look of your skin.
9. Exercise
In addition to contributing to your overall health and well-being, regular exercise and sweating clears your pores.
10. Lower stress
However you manage your stress, sleep, exercise, meditation, breaks, whatever, how you feel on the outside impacts your skin more than you think.
