Everyone wants to achieve glowing and youthful skin. Whether you go bare-faced, or you’re a makeup fanatic, having beautiful skin on your face and body can help you both look and feel great. 

Jasmine Silk has put together a simple and easy-to-follow list of tips and tricks to improve your skin.

Follow a Routine

When it comes to beautiful skin, consistency is key. It can take a while to achieve and maintain healthy skin, so it’s important to also maintain a skin routine over time. It helps you prevent problems and learn what is good for your skin type and what isn’t.

Usually, a skin routine for morning and night will involve cleansing, toning and moisturising. Working with these as your main three steps, you can adapt and add to your routine as you see fit. What’s more, a strict skin routine can also help you maintain other healthy habits too.

Sleep on Silk

Silk is hypoallergenic, temperature regulating and extremely gentle, which means there’s is no friction, pulling or tugging at your skin during the night. It won’t irritate even sensitive skin, helping you to wake up with a healthy glow.

Watch Your Diet

Your diet plays a large part in how healthy your skin is. So quite often, clearing up your diet will help clear up your skin. That could mean as little as avoiding junk food and alcohol. 

How much water you drink will also affect how healthy your skin is. It’s well-known that if you stay hydrated, so will your skin and, the secret to youthful and radiant skin is hydration. So, make sure you’re drinking enough water every day to achieve that smooth skin you’re looking for. 

Reduce Stress

Experts say that there is a correlation between stress and poor skin. Therefore, reducing the amount of stress you’re under might help your skin’s condition. Reducing stress isn’t always easy in today’s world, where everything is fast-paced. But, there are some small things you can do to reduce the stress you’re under.

This might be practising self-care techniques such as spending time before you go to sleep or after you wake up meditating, creating a relaxing atmosphere in your home, and making sure you are getting enough sleep each night. 

Improve Air Quality

The air quality you surround yourself with will also have an effect on your skin. If you live in a busy city, that are a lot of chemicals hitting your face that you won’t even notice. Staying away from this is not always possible, which is why some make-up and cosmetic products actually have ingredients in them to protect you from this. Switching to one of these may make a difference.

Also, if you’re a frequent cooker, make sure you always use extractor fans to remove the oils in the air, to stop them having such an effect on your skin. 

Sun Protect

It is commonly known that UV rays can speed up the ageing process and are extremely damaging on your skin. That’s why to achieve great skin, you must make sure you are protecting it from those harmful UV rays.

Also, note that you don’t only need SPF protection on sunny days. UV rays can penetrate clouds, meaning that SPF is always important. However, you should completely avoid being directly in the sun when it’s hot. 

Cleanse, Cleanse, Cleanse

Sometimes, the secret to beautiful skin is as simple as your cleanser. It is often recommended that you cleanse your face once a day, so make sure the cleanser you’re using is suitable for daily use. Cleansing routinely will help you to remove any harmful bacterias on your face that could sink into your skin. Also, never sleep in your make-up. No matter how tired you are, you should always make sure you remove your make up before you hit the pillow. 

In addition to cleansing, you might also want to exfoliate your skin every so often. To do this, why not try using something different such as silk beauty cocoons? These silk cocoons can be used to gently exfoliate your face.

Better Sleep

Mentioned briefly earlier was the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. Sleep should be a priority if you’re looking to improve the state of your skin. Whether that involves treating yourself to some new pyjamas, maintaining a nighttime routine that gets you ready for bed or going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day, you may find that getting a good night’s sleep every night can make a difference to your skin by reducing dark circles and improving complexion.
