Our Guide To Taking Better Care Of Your Skin

Keeping your skin clear is a problem that many of us face after the Christmas period as junk food can easily lead to excess oil and breakouts. But with a few simple tips and some changes to the chemicals applied to the skin, it is easier than ever for you to take care of your skin with the highest level of success.  

Don’t Forget To Moisturise 

Even oily skin needs to stay hydrated and water will just not make the cut when it comes to keeping the skin moisturised. Though it may help slightly, it is important to apply a moisturiser as this can help to rebalance the PH of the skin as well as ensure that your skin is not dry and irritated. This should be applied before makeup as well as in the evening before sleep to prevent the skin from becoming dry. 

Try A Treatment  

If you find that your skin is becoming increasingly problematic recently, there is always the option of treatment whether at home or at a clinic. With a selection of some of the best skin peel treatments London has to offer as well as a selection of facemasks at the local drugstore, you can take matters into your own hands and balance the PH for the perfect glowing skin. Though this may take multiple treatments to achieve, this can help to de-clog pores, reduce redness and even eliminate shine and other common problem areas. 

Remove Makeup Before Sleep 

Another crucial rule of skincare is that you should never go to sleep with makeup on. Not only does it clog the pores, but it prevents oxygen from reaching the skin leading to an increased chance of breakouts. Though it may seem tempting to leave it on after a night out, using a water-based cleanser before sleep will help to remove the makeup quickly without leaving the skin feeling irritated. Alternatively, keeping makeup wipes in your handbag will allow you to take your makeup off on the commute home so that you can then crawl straight into bed. 

Don’t Touch Your Face Throughout The Day 

The final tip to keeping your skin clear is to avoid touching it throughout the day. This is crucial as this can spread oil as well as bacteria that are responsible for breakouts leaving your skin looking oily and irritated. By removing your hands from your face and applying a cleanser at the end of the day, you can then remove this harmful bacterium without causing further irritation. If you are someone who touches your face often, using the sleeve of your shirt can help to prevent the spreading of harmful bacteria and therefore prevent breakouts along the jawline and cheeks. 

Whether you are currently looking for a solution to prevent nasty breakouts or you are looking for a way to prevent excess oil, this can aid in keeping the skin healthy and clean without the use of any harsh chemicals. Which of these tips will you be trying first?
