Clear Skin

Skin repairs itself and produces collagen as you sleep. A lack of sleep can cause blemishes, eye circles, bags, and fine lines.

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and promotes the regeneration of new skin cells. Use chemical exfoliants or physical exfoliates, such as scrubs, weekly. Not exfoliating can cause skin buildup, which can cause your skin to look dull.

Regularly clean your makeup brushes to remove any bacteria. Make sure to also wash your face thoroughly after wearing makeup.

A diet rich in nutrients, especially antioxidants, can promote skin renewal and reduce inflammation. Processed foods high in sugar can trigger breakouts or redness. Alcohol consumption can also cause inflammation and hormone imbalance, leading to breakouts.

Hydration is vital for your body and your skin. Skin is the first part of the body to lose moisture, and water supports the skin’s elasticity and can help minimize wrinkles.

A good moisturizer will prevent skin dryness, which can cause redness and irritation. Moisturizing will also help your skin feel soft and supple. Use a gentle facial moisturizer—not use body lotion—to moisturize your face.

Avoid picking whiteheads or zits. Popping pimples can lead to acne scars and prevents the skin from healing properly after a blemish. Your hands can transfer dirt, oil, and bacteria to your face, so wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.
