An Easy Skin Routine As We Get Mas Viejitas

We make sure to drink water, we do yoga, we eat well, but proper skincare regimen is also really important yet it’s easy to overlook when you’re young.  What makes things more confusing is that there are so many products and gadgets that claim to help improve skin tone and promote a flawless complexion, but we know there is no such thing as instant results.  As you grow older, you realize that an effective skincare regimen is one that is done consistently over a time before results will begin to develop and before you get so used to the routine that you feel good doing it every day.

Here are 5 super easy things you can do this week to begin to create great skin routines that will last you through the next decades of your life:

Exfoliate

Exfoliating 1-3 times per week will help to remove old skin cells, dirt, oil, and leftover products from your skin.

Avoid Constant Sun Exposure and Tanning Beds

In addition to being dangerous where health is concerned, these may also lead to early signs of aging.  Getting a suntan is cute, but there is no reason to sacrifice your skin or your health in order to achieve it. If you are in a position where you need to be in the sun frequently, make sure to wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30. A great alternative is to find a self-tanning lotion. Before applying the lotion to your entire body, apply it to a small test area just to make sure there is no irritation.

Chapped Lips

If your lips have a tendency to become chapped, using a natural chapstick will help keep lips hydrated and happy. Pro tip: purchase a value pack to always have one handy!

Hydrated Skin=Happy Skin

Dry or cracked skin can be very unbearable. Keep a small container of hand lotion to moisturize on the go! And make sure to use lotion after bathing, especially on parts where the skin is roughest: elbows, knees, and heels.

Conoce Your Skin

When trying out a new item, make sure to apply a small portion to one area of the skin before, just to make sure you do not have a reaction. Also, always read the label! You never know what is hiding in certain products. If you have oily skin, buy oil-free products. Taking a few extra minutes in research is totally worth having the skin you love.
