Skincare Commandments To Live By

We constantly obsess over wellness, fitness, and skincare. We read countless amounts of articles that tell us one thing (and then another). Although you might receive different advice, the message remains the same: take care of your body and your skin will thank you! Here are five of the top skincare commandments that stem from healthy habits:

Remove Your Makeup
There’s plenty of women who wouldn’t dare to leave the house without makeup, even if it means just going to the gym. But before you doll yourself up before hitting the treadmill, consider this: when perspiration mixes with cosmetics, you cause a buildup of bacteria that seeps into your pores. So skip applying makeup pre-workout (including tinted moisturizer). Sleeping with makeup is also a big no-no. Why? Because the chemicals used in makeup today can stay in your pores if you don’t use the products properly. In other words, remove before sleep!

Apply Toner
There’s a huge difference between those who use toner and those who won’t. Those who skip toner usually have more congested and enlarged pores. Also, keep in mind that it’s important to apply toner after cleansing and before putting on makeup. Toner acts as a drying alcohol, which can help your makeup to stay intact all day long.

Use Sunscreen on the Daily
We’ve got to mention this one! The number one way to prevent skin cancer, brown spots, and signs of aging is to find a sunscreen product that works for your skin type. Be sure to apply every 30 minutes, and always buy waterproof!

Take a Probiotic
They say you are what you eat. Aside from avoiding inflammatory foods like dairy and gluten, make sure you take a probiotic daily to ensure that your digestive track is working well. The way probiotics work is by introducing more friendly bacteria in your system, which can ultimately improve acne and clear up your skin for the long term.

Sleep Enough
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - beauty sleep isn’t just a myth! Giving yourself 8 to 10 hours of sleep can help the body repair itself, including skin imperfections. Not only can it cure acne, but when you wear an eye pillow (preferably filled with lavender), you can prevent under eye puffiness and wake up feeling refreshed!
