If you’re dissatisfied with your skin, improving it may only require adjusting your daily habits. Here are some skin care do’s and don’ts to help you reach your desired results.

Do:

Drink plenty of water.

Since 64% of skin is water, increasing your H2O intake will naturally promote your beauty goals. Water hydrates cells and helps your body flush toxins.

Cleanse and moisturize.

Wash and cleanse your face every day before bed to remove any built-up dirt and oils that clog pores. Then moisturize your skin to replenish it.

Wear sunscreen.

Prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause premature aging and even skin cancer. Wear an SPF 30 sunscreen daily, and avoid spending long periods outside during peak sunlight hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Don’t:

Use the wrong products.

skin careThough you should use products like cleansers and moisturizers, choose them carefully. For instance, if you have dry skin, certain anti-acne products may dry it out further. Double-check that you’re using products meant for your skin type.

Take a piping hot shower.

If you’re taking hot showers daily, turn the temperature down a notch. Hot water strips natural oils, leaving your face dry.

Pick at your skin.

Popping pimples and picking at your skin open it up to bacteria on your fingers, which will likely lead to more acne and scars. If a pimple is bothering you, cover it with a hot towel to open up the pore and release the pus inside. If you have extensive acne issues, consult a dermatologist for recommended skin care products.
