Fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots can spell trouble for your look, which is why men and women everywhere are focused on natural, functional ways to maintain their skin. While it may seem complicated, great skincare starts with good habits and regular facials. Here are three simple ways to care for your skin at home.

Tips for Better Skincare

1. Wear Sunscreen Daily

The UV light we are exposed to daily can prematurely age your skin and cause skin cancer, so take sunscreen seriously. If you are regularly out in in the sun, invest in a product that is effective and also compatible with your specific skin type, whether it be dry or oily. Be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen each day to prevent sunburn, wrinkles, and age spots. If you are concerned about avoiding greasy sunscreen, focus on finding a product designed for your face. If possible, reapply sunscreen throughout the day to protect your skin. 

2. Remove Your Makeup

Sleeping in your makeup may seem harmless, but it could hurt your skin. When makeup is left on overnight, it can cause environmentally-induced oxidative damage, leaving you with more wrinkles and dry, crepey skin. Instead, use a gentle cleanser to remove all of your facial makeup, and don’t forget about your neck. It can be beneficial to create a skincare routine that involves washing, cleansing, and moisturizing your face before bed each night. This ensures you won’t forget to remove your makeup if it’s been an exceptionally long day.

3. Sleep On A Silk Pillowcase

Sleeping on a tightly-woven, smooth surface can help you to prevent crush wrinkles, which occur when the skin is tugged on or compressed during sleep. Silk pillowcases are ideal for improving the condition of your skin, as they are soft, silky, and don’t create friction with your face. As a bonus, silk pillowcases have also been shown to create silky hair.
