Maintaining bright, youthful skin isn’t impossible – but it is a lot of work. There are many solutions to keeping your skin healthy, firm and soft, ranging from daily products and at-home skincare treatments, to ingestible supplements and healthy habits. There are some steps you can add to your day-to-day routine to get the best results out of your skincare game. We narrowed it down to the four best beauty hacks everyone should use to achieve radiant, smooth skin. Trust us, these can change your life.
Never Miss A Cleanse
Cleansing might not seem like it can do much more than keeping your skin clean, but a twice-daily gentle wash is actually quite necessary to keeping your skin looking young. Using a cleanser keeps the skin clear of stressors, oils and bacteria that can damage the skin and lead to quicker aging.
“A good general rule is to wash your face twice a day: once in the morning immediately after waking up, which removes all bacteria and oil which make have moved to our face from our mouth and hair while we slept, and the second time before going to bed, which removes the micropollutants and buildup of oil and bacteria that has accumulated during day,” Dr. Rachel Nazarian of Schweiger Dermatology Group in NYC told SheFinds.
Use A Derma Roller
Many people use derma rollers as a regular step in their skincare process - and if you’re not already a fan, you’re going to want to jump on this bandwagon fast. Derma rollers are facial rollers with hundreds of micro needles. When rolled over the face, these needles stimulate collagen production to help the skin repair and regenerate itself. Plus, using a derma roller over a serum can help the serum’s ingredients penetrate deep into the skin.
Get A Lot Of Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps the skin repair itself, promotes a brighter complexion and supports the body’s natural production of collagen. While using skin products made with vitamin C can help you achieve these benefits, adding foods high in the vitamin is an effortless way to get results. Try eating lots of citrus fruits to help your skin be its best self.
Moisturize Frequently
Never, under any circumstances, underestimate the power of hydration. Even if your skin is not actively dry, you need a moisturizer. Using a moisturizer twice daily not only helps the skin maintain a soft and smooth texture, but it also ensures the skin gets replenished with important nutrients. The skin is better equipped to repair itself when it’s properly hydrated, which means it has a better chance of fighting against signs of aging.
